    ATTENTION: Owners of 2011 Mustangs with a shimmy/vibration in the car/steering

    I met with the field service engineer yesterday and a certified suspension and handling tech from Ford. They both drove my car with me in it for 25 miles and both felt the vibration in both the steering wheel and the floor boards. We then got back to the dealer and took out a brand new...

    Jingling sound on accel and decel above 20mph

    My 2011 GT Automatic - is making a jingling sound on accel and decel above 20mph. It seems to be coming from the middle or passenger side of the engine. You can only really hear it with windows up and radio/HVAC off. HVAC fan makes it's own irritating noise. Blipping the throttle on...

    Update - out of respect I cannot mention any names of those involved but they are sending a factory technician from Detroit to my local dealer to evaluate my issue. I was told they will do whatever is necessary to resolve the issue. I am sorry to say that they would not really discuss the...

    ATTENTION: Owners of 2011 Mustangs with a shimmy/vibration in the car/steering

    Put the car in SPORT MODE (foot on brake pedal and push ESC button twice, DIC will display ADVANETRAC SPORT MODE) Get on the highway and go 80mph plus - if your car was built before August the steering wheel will shake odds are. Some cars do it at 50mph and up.

    UPDATE AGAIN - Picked the car up with new tire - still the shimmy at 60mph in SPORT mode and they gouged the brand new wheel mounting the new tire, small marks but still ****ty on a new wheel. The shop foreman said he took it to 80mph and it was smooth - sure when not in SPORT mode it is...

    My 2011 Mustang shimmy saga beginning to today

    Yet another UPDATE – Went back to the dealer and they found that the RF tire had a steel belt shifted through a hole in between an outer tread block, it caused the tread blocks around it to stick up higher than the rest.. It must have there for awhile as there was some decent tread wear in...

    My 2011 Mustang shimmy saga beginning to today

    Mainly front end and felt through the steering wheel - you can see the rotational shimmy in the steering wheel when in SPORT mode. I drive 80+ anytime I am on the highway. Now the shimmy happens even at 50mph in SPORT mode. Take a look at this thread on a GT-500 forum, it is EXACTLY the...
