Check this out, Scotty; Tesla tried to force a customer to pay $4,500 ransom over 80 miles of range that the company software-locked in his battery pack.
everyday is a bad day for a ford owner.
..... but which is it???? Army or Marines? Maybe there's a computer for that one? Haha!!!
Master cylinder.
@@girthbrooks5078 Not me, haha! My Ford is fine. Of course it's 24 y/o,,,
I don’t care about the price I would definitely get mine fixed. Brakes are nothing to take a chance on!
💯💯👍
I saw a video on UA-cam of a guy who brakes failed on is 1100hp car that sure was a beautiful classic
Look up "brakes fail" on UA-cam 😂
@@kensonferguson9911 That video is an example of why you never neglect your braking system.
Yep, brakes and tires are two things you should never cheap out on
I just checked on Rock Auto, because they have an easy to use website, and a new Motorcraft master cylinder is $110. A new Motorcraft power brake booster is $215, and a Cardone rebuilt one is $175. Pretty low prices for such a new car. That's one thing about having a popular car, parts tend to be cheap.
American and Japanese cars always have cheap parts.
Brake fluid stops working after 5yrs or 60K, sticking seals and components. Mechanics usually don't change fluid when doing a brake job. Change all of the brake fluid....could be that easy.
@@sp-yj5wr used to work at a shop, we always recommend a brake flush every time they replace their brakes and rotors. Very convenient yet the vehicle handles better
@@Luke_MoonWalker _American parts yeah but not Japanese parts._
Scotty is so right on point .I had this problem and the bore inside the Master Cylinder was letting fluid by .They fixed it with a new Master Cylinder.
that's probably the same problem to come..found on road dead
@@original..mrknowitall Still better than Bailout takers Chrysler and GM. You know, Fiat Motors (Chrysler) and Garbage Motors (GM). Even Scotty says Ford is better than Chrysler and GM by a longshot.
@@original..mrknowitall lol GM Dexcool class action suit. Burned millions of car & truck owners. Hang on, me go see how many included. here it is ONLY 33 MILLION GM cars and trucks included in the Class Action lawsuit. Lol my old boss bought a sedan DeVille with only 33K, I had a Lincoln mark viii with 140K. He asked me to CK it out, as it would slam into gear. GM said Working as Designed " & it was! Lol, he gets in my old mark viii, & puts it into gear. It was so smooth , he didn't think it went from park to drive. Eldorado buyers got shafted too. Those cars were blowing up at 30 k. I made a video at the junkyard, a lonnnnng line of Eldorados, nice paint, nice interiors, none of them were wrecked, they All had Blown motors. Rust all over the heads...GM never payed back they're bailout. Yes there's some ford vehicles I don't care for. But I could still., Make em get down the highway safely, & for a fraction of GM garbage motors. Jus sayin. If you like GM, May I suggest the cattlecrack Eldorado, or Sedan duhville. If your low on cash, find an old Lincoln. If it's slammed due to worn bags,. No worries, it's an ez fix for the average Joe.
You should make a video about this
Check out the new one too before install - I once bought one casted defectively, leaked at the top seal.
The fact that Scotty is a millionaire and still makes videos for normal people is pretty cool.
I can't believe I've been missing out on Scotty for so long. The man is a national treasure. :)
Scotty IS a millionaire and he is still sharing his knowledge. He rocks!
I also have a 2015 Ford Mustang V6 with the exact same problem. I haven't fixed it because it usually works fine, but if I sit idling at a dead stop in traffic it gets a little dicy. Feels like the brake booster for sure! Once I get moving and it builds a little air pressure it works fine again. Will replace the booster one of these days, or trade the car in. 100,000 miles with no other problems, and I love the V6.
you can also see if it's the booster if you can hear an air leak down by your feet.
Brake fluid stops working after 5yrs or 60K, sticking seals and components. Change all of the brake fluid....could be that easy.
@@sp-yj5wr to say brake fluid just stops working after 5 years is complete nonsense
@@dos1763 It depends on how hygroscopic the brake fluid is. Water contamination can make brake fluid useless because it can boil under heavy use, and freeze in Winter. There's a reason brake fluid needs to be changed.
This sure brought back memories for me when I use to drive my parents 1972 Ford Galaxy. The brakes were so bad that I would have to judge the distance to the stop sign and approach it slowly enough to where I could get the car to stop at the stop sign. Even had to shift to a lower gear to slow the car down. Crazy!
I had a 73 LTD lime green.brakes to the floor....it ate master cylinders as habit! ✌️
@@petej.8676 bad brakes? '71 metallic green/vinyl top LTD checking in. Always solid stopper. Had to be, it'd do 130+. Yay Classic Ford ! 400 cubic inches, C-6 trans, get outta muh' way !
@@petej.8676
Funny, my parents car was a dark green. My brother and me called it the narkmobile because everytime your on the freeway at night people see your headlights and think it's a cop, so they always slow down around you.
@@timewa851 No doubt. I've never heard about those cars eating up master cylinders. My Dad & bro Ford mechanics, Most everyone we knew had a Ford, back then. Never had a problem. I love those Mark Viiis! Find one with the bags slammed. Ez to replace. 181.1 Stock at Bonneville. CK it out. 🙏💕💪✌️. I loved mine. Drives like butter...... reliable & 30 mpg highway, @ 70. Not 140. ✌️
I have a 66 galaxie 500 2 door hardtop with 72 Ltd front disc brakes, un boosted. Smoothest brakes I've ever had..
We need more honest mechanics like Scotty
like scotty says techs dont get paid enough so instead of taking time on a certain problem they do it quick the more they do they more they get paid
🤣😂🤣
@@7ohnnypedro203 SUXX !
Those aluminum ABS actuators can cause that “internal leakage” as well if they are defective or broken. Nissan had a huge campaign to replace them when I worked for the dealer just a couple of years ago.
IIRC Ford Edge has this exact same problem, not the booster or master cylinder.
Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics has an excellent video on how to determine if it's the master cylinder or the actuators.
That’s where Scotty said it didn’t appear to be a leaky HCU…no codes , but that doesn’t always mean it’s not a leaky dump valve. I would suspects a leaky dump valve if someone recently had the brake system opened up and bleed the brakes to get crud into the HCU.
I could see that or possibly a bad master but no way a bad booster
I don’t care how many turbos you put on it, nobody wants a 4 cylinder mustang. If you’re gonna pile your mustang into a crowd of onlookers you want a damn v8 🤣
Exactly mate and not to mention that these EcoBoost engines won't outlast the Coyote V8 as well.
Honestly I don’t care if you have a 4,6,or 8 cylinder engine they all how their ups and down but getting rid of a 6 cylinder for 4 cylinder mustang is one of the only times I don’t like a engine just doesn’t fit a mustang
I have absolutely no interest in cars, yet I can't stop watching Scotty and his videos! Love this guy!
Same! Even when I have no idea what he’s talking about with an engine or something, it’s still entertaining because of his gesticulating and dynamic voices 😂
Got this same exact car, taking good care of it and never pushing it. Works great at 108k but got that brake recall recently too
You remind me I did get a recall for my 2015.
why do you have a mustang and not push it??
@@Leoh1 LOL. Because some people just want a cool car to cruise
My 2017 F150 was recalled for a brake master cylinder leaking internally into the brake booster and they replaced the brake master cylinder for free. I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of a bad batch and gets recalled.
My mother had a situation after we had been out in my car, came home, had to move the cars around. My mom started her 83 Reliant, and when i looked up from my car she was across the street, up on the concrete wall, and had hit the home across the way slightly - this could have been driver error, but the mechanic also found where the brake booster had been leaking internally, and said that may have caused a runaway condition AND diminished braking - and she had a very short distance to react. I have been concerned that perhaps some of the accidents attributed to driver error on the elderly may actually be parts like this that may wear differently due to the cars no longer being driven daily, and perhaps sitting for a few days or a week at a time - had the car repaired, never had this happen again.
My mother was a terrible driver too.
Was your mom hammered?
I’ll bet Scotty knew the problem before he got the expensive diagnostic tool came out. Even after the invention of all the computers the cars still have some basic mechanics that haven’t changed for years.
i loved my ‘18 10speed ecoboost. had it for about a year n some change & then traded it in for a ‘17 gt 6speed. both awesome cars & have my respect
Scotty, I have had forty cars in my life, everything from a Sunbeam Alpine to a Jaguar and three Corvettes and four Thunderbirds. My 2016 Mustang is the best car I’ve ever had. It’s fast, comfortable, nimble and thoroughly dependable. I literally have only had to repair the AC and driver’s window under warranty. Nothing else. I love this car and will buy another when the time comes.
I love my s550 model Mustang too I am on my third. Remarkable vehicles but I just don’t trust the dealership mechanics anymore.
@@erikfritts8240 I guess I’m a Ford guy. I have a 2002 T-bird (my 4th T-bird) and my Mustang. I also have a beautiful C4 Vette, my third. I think this vette is the most beautiful vette made. They ripped the style off of a Ferrari. I have to exercise my 3 cars weekly or they develop arthritis.
@@moodiblues2 I had the entire family in Fords until some horrible dealership debacles but I sympathize. As far as this current Mustang they kept improving and I couldn’t stop salivating. I started with a 4 cyl 2015 and now I’m in a 2019 gen 3 coyote she is brilliant and I love her but my favorite is still my 71 thunderbird.
@@erikfritts8240 As far as T-birds are concerned my favorites are from 64 to 69. The 71 is probably the most popular version as it sold better than the others. The 70s are too large for my tastes. I bought a 88 new and then the 92. But the 60s are beautiful in and out. I would consider buying one, but I bet parts are hard to get. I’ve had trouble getting new parts for my 2002.
@@moodiblues2 I loved the 429 my 71 Tbird had and it was as far as I know the only version with rear suicide doors like that year Lincoln. I loved it. I imagine it is amazingly difficult to get parts for the most recent gen. They made that engine for that car and then abandoned it. I never heard any rumors about why. I like the looks though.
I hate it when the brake sinks. I'd replace it.
"He's an ex-army guy," with a Marine tag on the front of his car... Makes me think he really regrets his time in the Army. 😂
I caught that too. Well, Army guys put Marine stuff on when they want to up the 'cool' factor! (jk)
Back when I was in, I’ve talked to guys from my unit who switched to the army after getting out. They say they missed the corps more lol
You do know the Army and the Marines are different?
@@BrewBlaster you didn't understand the joke
@@billbryant9995 the green berets are pretty badass too!
what a timely video.. I have a 2021 mustang and the brakes grab at low speed stops.. glad to know that I can a scan tool hooked up to see what the problem is. It grabbed from the very first day I picked it up with only five miles on it. Nice to know Ford has a way to check and see if the antilock system is off.
Really good point Scotty made in this video, is that temperature and humidity levels do affect the mechanical parts of vehicles. Here in Montreal we go from 30 to -30 celsius maximums from summer to winter. I do definitely notice that in the winter I spend more on gas and that the engine is more noisy on my car, especially within the first 20 minutes of start-up.
Scotty is just out here spreading knowledge and saving us all hundreds of thousands of dollars! Thank you for sharing your years of expertise with the world sir!
Scotty,
One thing I don't think you mentioned before. Dealers, (I think everyone of them), do want to find a problem so they can rip you off. They tell you they can hook up their fancy diagnostic machine to find the problem. The only bad thing is that they will not hook it up until the person agrees to pay them about $150.00 to do it. They try to convince the car owner that they have to get money back for buying the expensive diagnostics machine.
If you spend $5000 on a diagnostic machine, I’m sure you’d want to get every penny back for it too
Lol, It's a business. Do you think Scotty works for FREE" Yes, dealers can be more expensive. & Often it's worth it! I personally don't go to them unless I have to. Like my clutch for my 91 SR5 V6 Xtra cab 4X4. I wasn't about to do that. I don't have the facilities, the tools, or the expertise. Lol I'd bet you Scotty wouldn't touch it either! They did a Great Job. & When I brought it back a few 1000 Mike's later for adjustment, the Best in the west MR Suzuki, test drive it, & adjusted it, in about 30 seconds. I enjoy helping people where I can. But these shops need to feed they're families as well..
And so do I. That being said. Get your own scan tool, & stay away from places you can't afford. I know I do!
That’s how us tech get paid all that money doesn’t just go to the dealer and people don’t understand. We have to use our tools our knowledge to diag the car. We get paid for the jobs we do not get paid hourly or salary. Know one goes to work for free.
Why would a company and a technician spend there money time and education to fix your car for free? Get real 5k won’t buy a dealerships diag equipment. I personally own the same equipment the ford dealership owns and my annual cost is more than that and I own the equipment. The technician working on it is paid a percent of what your charged. Why should his family do without and not receive any income from his time knowledge and tools? Your so special that the technician and dealership owe you? Do you get free products and services from Walmart? Remember you don’t pay a technician for what he does, your paying for what he knows. A good technician ain’t cheap. Not having a good technician gets expensive real quick.
Just look in the master cylinder with someone standing on the brakes , you can usually see fluid coming back into the reservoir .
Hi, If this Mustang never had the brakes flushed, I would try that first. Sometimes fresh brakes fluid would resolves this issue and it is not an expensive service.
New fluid doesn't make a difference, but a brake system with air trapped in it will cause those symptoms and needs to be bled, which requires new fluid to top back up
I had one Ford mustang and it just wasn't a good experience when it broke down. I owned a 1990 miata I've driven since 2014 and I still love it. When it brakes down no problem I'm on the road in a day or two fixing it myself. It's been down about five times. 3 Alternators , 1 electrical connector, and a battery. I know I know the mustang I had was a four banger too but even a v8 I don't think would beat the reliability and the smiles per gallon of the miata.
V8 smiles per gallon would definitely be higher. Miles per gallon not so much
I had a 68 stang with a 390 4spd. That was a proper muscle car.!!
Betcha this one is faster!
I love the fastbacks. NICE!!
@@frankhassle9366 Yeah but it'll never have the soul and character as the original Mustangs and that EcoBoost Mustang will never outlast my good ol' 96 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8.
that is the Steve McQueen Bullitt model. 1968 w/ 390 V8.
@@CJColvin Call me weird, but my favourite era of Mustang is the fox platform. The LX with the 5.0 was arguably one of the last true muscle cars.
When Scotty takes out his monster scan tool i get goose bumps all over my body....
Does anybody remember when Scotty actually made car repair videos?
He said the dude didn't want to change the master cylinder. What do you expect him to do?
He still does sometimes
I’d still call this a diagnostic video
He just did. Proper diagnostic is the most important step of repair.
He showed how to figure out brake problems in mustangs.
That owner is a Marine, (not Army if I heard right). The Air Medal is for single acts of heroism or meritorious achievements while participating in aerial flight. That Air Medal is what I was given back in June of 1979 for my flying in Vietnam. It's pretty high on the medal totem pole.
This guy is completely amazing! Thank you Scotty for your videos they are both informative and comical.
My Boss has the same car Ecoboost Mustang, yes 2017, he has more than 180K miles, It gets its fluid on time. He loves that car, zero issues
Not having brakes never stopped me.🤪
Scotty is always kind with the words when people comes over with their precious cars.
laf except Fords
Nice work Scotty, you have great communication skills. I hope you and your family are enjoying their summer. I certainly am, doing a lot of bicycle riding and taking on online class
That's a lucky person who gets Scotty to check their car ...
It’s always amazing what you learn watching uncle Scotty!
I don't trust car dealerships maintance work, 139$ to put it on the code reader, 700$ for an 30,000 check up, brakes , battery cables, any leaks, ext , cabin filter changed, oil change, just the basics, tire rotation, radiator flush, giving him cash, 175$ sure beats paying over 700$, I save every maintance copy. Yeah, having a Mustang I'd definitely want to hear that roar. Keep up the good videos Scotty, you're very appreciated , learned alot from you. Thank you, so much
IT's funny, because dealerships lose business because they try to scam people. And people do not want to be scammed so more leave, then dealerships complain that they cant find work, thus scam more people. And the cycle continues
My 2012 mustang done that some times and finally one of the rear calipers stuck. Shop replaced both rear calipers rotors and pads.All problems are fixed.
Did it leave you stranded due to those issues
Exactly, my 07 G6 did the same thing. Replaced the rear pads, rotors and calipers...all is good now.
@@nysavvy9241 any breakdowns
@@tesla_models No never. Car is amazing at 15 yrs old.
Imagine having an honest mechanic like Scotty... Who you can totally trust. Must be nice.
Oh my. A mustang 7 yrs old with over 130,000 miles needs a new master cylinder other wise runs like a top. How will Ford and all Ford owners survive this ?
Hahaha I see what you did there
I'd replace it as soon as possible. Especially if it was my wife driving it everyday. I understand money issues and maybe even her not getting to work that day. But I'd still find away to make sure she was safe when she was driving. To many had drivers out there. You need your brakes to be at 100% all the time
5.0 coyote was the best/reliable motor. Change my mind.
I'm not. I agree
Yeah you’re right, but if you get an upgraded shortblock for the ecoboost and do regular maintenance and have a catch can they can be very reliable too
Why change your mind? Your absolutely correct.
NA V8 will have more than twice the useful life. Your probably better off modifying your own engine with strengthening and an aftermarket turbocharger and learning to do the maintenance yourself than most of the factory turbo cars from the manufacturers. The BMW turbo motors barely last 100K miles and almost all their cars have turbos now.
The Ford V8 isn't as stout as the GM but the overhead cam sound is so much better than over head valvers
@@jbrockway5.0 I drove an 2018 eco and it was insane. I just don’t trust them long term in any car/truck. I’ll take the hit on mpg.
I hate that Ford quit making the
Mustang GT’s look better than the regular Mustangs. That would be like if Dodge offered the wide body with the hood scoop on the V6.
Great tutorial on what the mechanics could have done for that customer. Not just not having tools but no skill.
Interesting tidbit I found on youtube - I have a 99 Mustang six, and according to one youtube channel, you can push the trip meter (in the speedometer area) turn the key without starting the car (if I remember right) and the mileage display will show all sorts of data on the car, test the instrument panel bulbs, etc - I love this! On my old 87 Dodge Daytona, if you turned the key 5 times without starting it, the power loss light would flash a code - normally code 55 for all is well - which was 5 slow flashes, and 5 quick flashes - any other code shown could be looked up as to what it meant.
Dang scotty! I can’t help but to worry about your blood pressure when you’re making these videos! Be safe
Scotty, Scotty, you got to change the master cylinder. I've worked on cars professionally since 1960 and master cylinders are always going out. You don't take a chance whether it's a little leak or big leak. You replace the master cylinder with the new OEM. You can't take the liability to tell the customer to drive it's not too bad.
Subaru mechanics did the same thing to me, engine issues; after i went to my trusted mechanic, it was the timing chain that needed replacement at 100k miles.
Chain? or Belt? what year Subi?
@@slingbart705 chain/2015.
Hmmm...If my braking system is acting up I get it fixed. Who knows when a problem that "isn't a safety concern" at present could turn into just that. Do not gamble with your brakes or tires people!
Dr. Scotty heart specialist
Dr.Scooty 💕💕👌🏻
I had a lot of trouble with my a B new Ford Tempo (first year).
Long story short a mechanic was sent from the higher ups.
I went to pick up the car and he met and explained the situation. He said the car was going to be a lemon if he can’t fix it. If that were the case I could choose any sedan in the show room and take it in exchange.
(He fixed it).
I asked why the car was so difficult to fix. He said the difficulty is the Ford manual.
No matter how well it is written it deprives the mechanics the ability to think for themselves. My car was worked on by a different mechanic every time and of course every mechanic went to the same page and got the same results.
Goes without saying he did not use the manual.
Seeing an Eco with 3x the miles as mine still running great is a Happy day for this Ford owner. Not a sad one! 🤣
I will be buying a 2017 ecoboost premium in 2-3 months..im excited..used of course...the new one goes for almst $30,000
I have the 2.3L mustang and I love it. I bought mine in cash because they’re like 10k-15k than the GTs cheaper used with the same miles. I average about 26 mpg and I still have fun in it.
I got my 4.6L sohc tuned to get 27mpg. I am not impressed with these EcoBoost engines at all.
Beautiful looking car as well
I had 2 2.3l mustangs. I ended up now with a 3.7 because i LOVE the sound and still average 22 in the city! Great car for the money!
Economic but not old school anymore . Sad
@@williamnichols539 I have a 3.7 the economist is not a bad car at all if it was anything but a mustang it would be a top 10 muscle car … they don’t deserve that kinda hate
I have a Ford, a 2006 Focus 2.0 duratec with 127k miles, never really had any issues since I bought it for £550 in 2017 where it had around 90k miles.
Just the usual tyres, just fronts, rears are still fine and I replaced the brakes all round.
I did have one little problem where it kept stalling, no engine light or fault codes. I did the usual changed the spark plugs, checked the coils, cleaned the throttle body.
It was still stalling and no better, something made me think.a sensor might be going bad but why no fault codes!
Strange thing was it ran fine at start up and idle, only cut out after it warmed up and went for a short drive.
First one I checked was unplugging the electrical connection to the EGR valve, it ran spot on, no stalling!
Guess what, it threw a fault code!!
I left it like that for over a year, fully intending to replace the EGR valve but apart from the engine code light it was running spot on.
When I did replace it, I figured out the EGR valve would stick in the open position when activated, hence the stalling.
So Fords don't always show a code when a sensor or module is going bad!
I used to want this car. It looks like a fun car, but I can't get over how it doesn't have that Mustang growl from the engine.
The GT does. Sounds amazing. The ecoboost isn’t really something I’d want either.
Only happens after you drive it awhile lol, so this guys idea is to just let it go until it quits working in the worst situation and then you have no breaks. If you have an issue you should fix it, if you wait the problem becomes worse cost you more money or you may even wreck possibly kill someone.
That was great advice Scotty, I check my Mustang GT all the time just to be safe. 😎🙏👍
WRONG!...(maybe). Common problem is the hydraulic control unit and ABS seals stick with no codes. It comes from very old brake fluid. (Most mechanics do not change the brake fluid during a brake job). Brake fluid is only good for about 5yrs or 60K. Try bleeding entire brake system and give it time for new brake fluid. Problem may go away........or yeah, change the wrong parts like booster and they'll have to put new brake fluid in and problem will go away..for awhile. Love your vids Scotty!
I have a 2015 GT I now have 186,000 miles and I have abused the hell out of it all it’s life and it has never broken down on me
Mustang with a four cylinder engine? What a disgrace
......minor correction....wife has a 4 cylinder...
Never a sad day for this ford owner 🤷♂️
Good video. I remember my parents had a his and her Ford Maverick, light green for mom and dark green for dad. And yes, stay very far away from Chinese brake parts.
Avoid Chinese tires too.
Personally, while I would love having a 5.0 Mustang, I think I would actually prefer the quieter I4 engines. My next-door neighbor's daughter has a 5.0 Mustang, and every time she goes somewhere, it's loud enough for us to be able to hear it in the house.
P.S. I love that Scotty always shows the pope when he says, 'You can't trust anybody." 🤣
Might very well be , partially why she likes it .
@@indycharlie I would say so, but tbh, I think it's more her dad's car than it is hers. Whenever I ask about it, he's the one who nerds out about it😂
@@blackswan7568 That is funny ! Is it a standard ? If so , I am sure he is way " Nerd City " on it :D
@@indycharlie It is😆

Dealerships and some repair shops are now charging $ 250.00, for what is called
a "Diagnostic test", even if you know why you are taking your car in.
The reason the master in this car failed is because the engine has 50% of the cylinders it should have. If a Mustang has 4 cylinders, it really doesn't need brakes at all.
20.3 Per gallon with his foot to the floor
The master cylinder isn't the only part that could be the problem. I had a Ford Edge that had a bad hydraulic abs control unit. The pedal would sink to the floor and it started out as an intermittent problem.
That’s okay.
Everyday is a sad day for Chevy owners.
Just because you may not have ABS codes doesn’t mean that the Hydraulic Control Unit, which has the isolation and dump valves, is working normally. You may still have leaks internally. The HCU could still be the source of this issue. Before criticizing Techs , maybe Scotty should make sure the information he presents is accurate.
It's disc runout Scotty. Happened to my 72 vette. No leakage, master fine. Air was pumped into my brake lines which as you know reduced pedal firmness.
Where is the bonus questions and answers?
I’m having the exact same problem with my 03 HD f150, you just confirmed my suspicions. Thank you sir
Two things that should never be in the same sentence: 1) Mustang. 2) 4-cylinder. This, quite simply, is un-American and wrong.
If dealerships don't take your problems seriously EVEN when the car is within warranty, then that means two things:
1) Warranties are WORTHLESS *(and why can't you sue them for breach of contract??),* and
2) You may as well be your own mechanic.
I thought every day was a sad day for Ford owners. But it seems this mustang held up well.
I have a 2012 Lincoln MKX did the same thing. Wife had braked hard. Pedal was real mushy. Took it out replicated the braking she did. Pedal came back up. Haven’t had a problem since. There were no codes.
A Mustang with a 4-banger? Takes all the fun out of owning the car
Its basically a Ford fusion with a mustang body!
@@realcreamofwheat7728 Maybe a fusion sport with the twin turbo 6 cyl.
I owned one they are pretty quick
A Mustang with a 4 cylinder? I thought those things went out in the late 70s!
There were fox bodies in the 80s that had 4 bangers
11 minute video for a 5 minute diagnostic, man can Scotty rattle on and on, over and over saying the same thing no less than a half of a dozen times...I still enjoy him and enjoy his videos, but damn.
that's why we love him
I had a 2017 Mustang V-6 and traded it for a 2020 Mustang GT 5.0. The service dept at the local Ford dealer recommended that the brake fluid be swapped out every 3 years to prevent moisture in the lines on these Mustangs.
If you wanna save gas and be a hippy, buy a prius. If you want to be a American, buy a reliable and naturally aspirated V8.
Lol Americans can't make reliable cars want the best of both world one can't go wrong with a V8 tundra
I have a long term fuel trim problem with a 2003 Toyota that's driving me nuts 🤪 WISH I had a Scotty!
Afternoon Scotty! Ask miss kilmer not to sell the Lexus!
afternoon and I'm on it!
I owned a 2016 Mustang GT. Great car. Squirrely rear end. Hoods are prone to rust along the edge. Lower control arms in the front didn't last long. Overall, I want another one.
I love the logical way in doing an analysis of Scotty! One-by-one
We have a 2010 MKZ doing that and could not duplicate at many service centers. I asked the last place to replace and bleed the brake fluid and that fixed it.
“Mustang, like the horse?” British girl in need for speed movie imitating southern accent
Someone forgot to clean the engine bay for well ever...
Failing master cylinder is always dangerous. It might not get gradually worse. They can completely let go without warning.
5.0 or go home I can't understand the mind of humans how buys 4 cylinders mustang their are no soul in it V8 has a soul it has personality a story but the guy say it is for his wife
Well....when you hop in my silverado your automatically hooked up with onstar and bluetooth. When you hop in a mustang, your automatically registered as a sex offender.
I had a stroke reading that
Have you driven the 4 cylinder?
Becouse some people like me dont have money for 5.0 but we still buy 2.3 ecoboost becouse we love mustangs?
@@realistic8355 I do not mean guys like you bro how have no money for V8 I mean the guys how have the money and buys 4 cylinders it is bad for V8 buyers if you can feel me
Thats why I do the troubleshooting myself and if its a part that's too complicated to replace myself I bring it to the mechanic.
Well I thought FORD found out the secret to making cars just like Toyoto or Mazda... Actually Mazda told them how to do it, and years later FORD still doesn't know how to build a reliable car. So sooo sad.
I have a 1996 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 with 210,000 miles and still going strong. The only things I replaced on my truck was the starter, the rear fuel pump, and the power steering megunisum but other than that mostly was just simple maintenance, took out the transmission fluid just to get rid of the shuttering it was making and it hasn't had a problem ever since. I also have a 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it with 147,000 miles on it and still going strong as well and its a beast and it sounds like a beast with the Borla ATAK exhaust on it.
I had a 1983 Oldsmobile Delta 88 that had a bad powerbooster. The brakes were so stiff I had to use both feet to emergency stop.
Scotty Kilmer which will you recommend a used F150 or Tacoma for site work?
towing f150, not towing tacoma
2012 Ford Edge - I replaced the brake booster with a chain store rebuild before checking the recall I missed or was never told about.
It is a safety concern when the booster completely fails.
Scotty, can you do a review on the 2022 Nissan Frontier?
yes!
@@scottykilmer And the reliable jaguar XJS 1995 I6?
master brake cylinders can be fun. i had just come of the highway onto a main street and when i went to stop for a light, the pedal hit the metal, my brother in law had a shop so i went to his supplier and got a new master cylinder and put it on, two days later same thing, got another master cylinder again and two days later it went also, on the
third trip they gave me a different brand and i had no problem after that so parts are hit an miss sometimes and a master cylinder malfunctioning is not fun, that is why my
emergency brake cable was always functional and it save my butt many times in that incident.
Every Ford from the Taurus to the fusion I’ve had always had brakes that we’re out way too soon-it’s only a Ford problem.
