Ford Mustang Club

Hey Mustang folks, I’m coming up on my 40,000-mile service and wanted to know what all’s included. Is this just basic stuff like oil changes, or should I be expecting a more expensive bill? Trying to budget here! Also, is it worth going to the dealer for this, or can my local shop handle it just as well?

So, I’ve heard that if your sway bar breaks while driving, it’s a bad day. Can someone explain exactly what happens if that goes down? I imagine it’s not a fun experience, but I’m not sure how dangerous it really is. I’ve got a Mustang and I’ve been hearing some clunking noises lately, so I’m kinda paranoid now.

So, my Mustang keeps throwing the P0420 code, and it’s driving me nuts. I clear it, and boom, a week later, it’s back. I’ve heard this could be the cat converter, but before I drop serious cash, could it be something simpler? Maybe an O2 sensor? I’m hoping someone here has dealt with this before and can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

I’ve gone through two sets of rotors in the past year, and it's driving me nuts! I’m not even out there racing every weekend (okay, maybe some weekends), but still, it seems like the rotors warp way too easily. Every time I hit the brakes now, there’s this annoying vibration, and it’s ruining the whole driving experience.

At first, I thought it was just a one-off issue with a bad set of rotors, but after replacing them and having the same problem come back within months, I’m starting to wonder if I’m doing something wrong. I’ve heard that aggressive braking or overheating can cause them to warp, but I’m not out here slamming the brakes at every stoplight. My driving is mostly city with some highway, nothing crazy. So, why is this happening?

From what I’ve gathered, the issue might be related to how quickly Mustangs heat up during braking. The stock rotors seem to have trouble dispersing heat, and if you brake hard and then stop without letting them cool down, that heat can cause warping. I’ve also heard that not properly torquing the lug nuts can mess with the rotors – could that be it? I usually just tighten them by feel, but maybe I need to get a torque wrench and be more precise.

What’s your experience with Mustang rotors? Are there any brands that are more durable, or should I be looking into upgrading to slotted or drilled rotors? I’m tired of having to replace these things, and I really don’t wanna keep dealing with this vibration every time I brake. Any advice would be great – I’m all ears!

Every time it rains, my Mustang’s belt starts squealing like a banshee! I mean, it's embarrassing, especially when I’m driving past people and they think I’m driving a rust bucket. 😅 Is this a normal thing when belts get wet, or should I be checking the tension or replacing the belt

Ugh, I’ve got that dreaded SRS airbag malfunction light on my dash. Has anyone else dealt with this? It seems like it could be a simple sensor issue, but I’m also paranoid it’s something more serious. Should I just reset it and hope for the best, or is this one of those “go to the dealer NOW” moments? I really don’t wanna mess with safety stuff, so I’d love some advice.

Just curious – what’s the optimal AC temp for a Mustang? Mine's running cold but not “I’m freezing” cold, and I’m wondering if it’s just me or if the AC isn’t performing as it should. Should I get it looked at, or is it just not built to be an icebox on wheels? I live in a pretty hot climate, so max cooling is a must.

Hey everyone, I’ve been having some issues with my Mustang, and I’m starting to worry it might be overheating. I haven’t had a full breakdown yet, but I’m seeing some signs that make me think it's heading that way. What symptoms should I be on the lookout for before things get really bad?

Here’s what I’ve noticed so far: the temperature gauge has been creeping up, especially when I’m stuck in traffic or driving for long periods. It doesn’t go into the red zone, but it’s definitely higher than usual. I haven’t seen any steam (yet), but I have noticed a faint burning smell when I get out of the car after a drive. Could that be coolant leaking or something else? Also, I’ve heard this weird gurgling sound under the hood after I turn the car off, almost like boiling water – is that normal?

I’m trying to avoid a full-blown overheating situation because I know it can get expensive fast (I’ve heard horror stories of needing new radiators or even worse). Should I be checking the thermostat or could it just be low coolant? How can I tell if it’s something more serious like the water pump? And what other early signs should I keep an eye out for? Any advice on how to prevent this from turning into a major issue would be awesome!

Alright, so I was super excited to have wireless charging in my Mustang – I thought it’d be convenient to just toss my phone on the pad and go, but nope... it’s just not working.  At first, I thought it was my phone, but I’ve tried two different ones (both wireless charging capable) and neither of them charges. It’s like the charging pad isn’t even detecting them. No lights, no beeps, nothing.

I’ve double-checked the manual to make sure I’m placing the phone in the right spot, and everything seems fine on that front. I also made sure my phone case wasn’t too thick, even took it off completely just to test it – still nothing. Starting to wonder if I’m cursed with faulty tech or if this is just a common issue with the Mustang wireless charger.

Has anyone else run into this problem? I’ve read some people have had success with resetting the system by disconnecting the battery for a bit, but I’m not sure if I should go that route yet. It could also be something with the fuse or wiring, but I don’t wanna tear apart my dashboard if I don’t have to. I’ve also heard it could be an issue with the software – is there a software update for the system that I might’ve missed?

Before I start ripping out the charging pad or heading to the dealership, any advice or fixes would be really appreciated! Also, if anyone’s had to get theirs replaced, was it covered under warranty or are we talking $$$? Let me know if I’m just missing something simple here!

Alright, spark plug time! My 2015 Mustang GT needs new plugs, but I don’t wanna go cheap on this. What are you guys using that’s giving you the best performance? I’m hearing good things about NGK and Motorcraft, but I wanna hear from people who have been there, done that. Also, are there any brands I should totally avoid? Thanks in advance!
