Recently traded my wife's 392 Durango because of constant issues 2021 we bought new, vehicle has 30k miles when we traded it and we had replaced the radiator, harmonic balancer, driver side door module and had several of the exterior lights replaced because they burnt out. All fully covered under warranty but not having the vehicle more than we had it. Probably a Friday built vehicle before a holiday weekend. I feel for you buddy, use that warranty for all its worth.
Sadly, lots of GT350s have reliability issues. And the Voodoo engine is not cheap. Definitely a hard pass.
Maybe Driveshaft issue? I put a carbon fiber one in my Boss302TT and that thing bounced so damn much, I went back to the stock dual shafts. Ridiculous! I hope your issue gets resolved bro. It sucks not having the car available, I’m sure.
Good luck!
I absolutely loved and miss my gt350. But one of the reasons I got rid of it after 5 years is because it started having problem after problem 😢
Yea my GT was for the most part problem free but I couldn’t get over the automatic 10 speed and I didn’t want a MT-82
I’ve had a couple of bad experiences buying used. You just don’t know how it’s been treated. I knew I wanted a Whippled 10R80 mustang could of bought a used one with a Whipple on it already but decided to buy brand new and build it myself. 3 years later zero issues.
Doesn’t sound too bad, at least they seemed to figure out the issue..I’ve seen issues that are never worked out by the dealer you either have to fix it yourself or get rid of it..
Thanks for commenting I’ll post a follow up shortly but it’s staying at the dealer for about a month
Hang in there buddy trust me it’s a fun car ones you resolve the issues enjoy it.
Thank you, i'm trying - it's tough out here
@@dbrabas are you in Southern California? Me to I work in Irvine but live in LA
Yea Whittier here
@@dbrabas South Gate
If it's certified pre-owned as you said, they should have caught that 🤷🤷guess it all depends on the shop and person working on and certifying the car. Thing is though, they are supposed to change all shocks as a unit, but again, same as I said earlier.
Agreed
You really gotta watch what you buy and you gotta know what you’re buying and you gotta know who owned it prior to. That’s the hard part you wanna make sure you don’t buy a tracked car specially at 350 otherwise they’re beautiful cars.
Definitely
Sooooo you have the perfect reasoning to buy new suspension setup : )
Important question: Was the vehicle ever in an accident/damage?
According to Carfax, no but they are checking
Thats why ima stick with my boat 👨✈️
My boat, r/t charger, has issues like this too. I know it needs new suspension, but my subframe is fucked up too…. I love my boat to death and it’s a nice comfortable family vehicle for a single man but 50k suspension changes isn’t right
That’s absolutely terrible. I see your post was 10 days ago. Any positive updates?
I have posted an update on my channel. definitely have more info. Still don't have my car back though
@@dbrabas that’s too bad. Hopefully soon
Welcome to used car buying stuff happens to all cars not just fords.
If you dont want it ill take it
Have them check if the rear subframe is bolts are fully tightened. I had a Mach 1 that had that issue and the rear end would wiggle. I got rid of mine after a few months because of issues but mine had a previous accident I found out was worse than I was initially told.
That’s literally what they found, there was a missing bolt on the rear end where someone added ford performance non-magnaride lowering springs so they need to replace everything now.
@@dbrabas I will say Ford is pretty good about taking care of the problems under warranty. I did get to the end of the video where you mentioned that just make sure to mention the subframe bolts specifically so they double check that. I think when other stuff in the rear goes bad the vibrations loosen the bolts. Mine also had bad sway bar links and a control arm bushing as well. After I had mine repaired it drove fine, it was just some rear end damage that was poorly repaired that caused me to have the dealer buy it back from me. Otherwise it was an awesome car.
@@CouchMan88 carfax was clean but CARFAX doesn’t show everything so I’ll ask them to check for previous damage
@@dbrabas My suggestion is to take it to a body shop and have them do a quick look at the car. They can usually tell if an area has been painted right away. The body lines aren’t as sharp on an area that has had body work done because of the sanding and thicker paint.
I think in your case it was just the suspension not done properly. Once you get all the rear suspension fixed I have a feeling the car will be fine. Mine felt so much better after having the rear suspension and subframe tightened. Just be glad you got it from a Ford dealership and not some shady used car lot where they don’t take care of any issues. You will be good after it’s all fixed. Don’t forget to keep an eye on the oil level as well. I know they burn a bit of oil, don’t let it get too low. Wish you well, hopefully it all works out and you can enjoy the car!
@@CouchMan88 thanks boss, my gen 3 burned a lot of oil and I’m very aware of the gen 1 voodoo issues so I’m definitely keeping an eye out I already have two quarts of 5w-50 just incase 👍🏻
one week and 21k Miles? OK
it was used........
He literally said, "New to him." Do you even read bro?
A beautiful car with a wonderful engine. Just horribly unreliable
agreed
Sounds like a Ford
It's a used 21k miles GT350
Honestly those low mile ones have the most issues they beat the car on the track and get rid of it a good in the middle and really looking at the car is best
@@rubymanko23yeah that’s why I never wanted to buy a GT350. I’d rather get a GT mustang with no miles for 40k. Plus since the GT350 are discontinued they’re going to be used and beat up.
So its not 1 week old?
No it’s 6 years old.
Dude you got a Ford a known pos good luck owning that pos
Someone sounds jealous lol
Probably way better than what you got. If you even have a car lol
