NHTSA ODI report, 2026-10-28

My 2019 ford mustang egoboost with only 59,000 miles has a cylinder three coolant intrusion. This is disappointing, as the only right way to fix this according to Ford, is to replace the whole engine.

NHTSA ODI report, 2026-10-21

My 2019 Ford Mustang equipped with the 2.3L EcoBoost engine developed a check-engine light, rough startups, engine misfires/rough running, and some engine knocking. The vehicle had approximately 87,453 miles.
