Dealer has installed the new dashboard and says they "believe this has solved the issue" which I can only assume means that the noise in the dash is gone. Progress, love to see it! Next items to tackle are the water leaking into the interior when it rains, and the kicking on startup.

Dealer says the dashboard has been delivered and they're gonna put it on. If that doesn't fix the noise complaint, it's going to a third body shop and they're gonna start replacing body panels.

From what I can tell, the car recognizes park just fine. It seems like a very specific way to replicate it: the car must be warmed up to operating temperature, but left off for a short period of time. Once the car turns on again, if the AC is on, it "kicks" right after the engine turns over...

I did get a CarFax and it came back clean, no issues reported.

They were able to reproduce the rattle just by rocking the car side to side. Two body shops and an in-house fix later, they can hear it less, but still present.

Already, the dealer reached out to Ford Hotline Assistance, and they want to replace the dashboard assembly. I'm gonna have a completely different car by the time they're done!

Update from the dealer: As they try to locate the source of the noise/rattle in the dashboard, they applied something around that area and they hear the noise less, so now they're removing the windshield to inspect the welds in the driver's side A-pillar. Still have no idea if the car leaks...

A jolt, a kick, a buck, I'm not sure how to describe it. It's not too similar to a manual stalling and kicking forward and rolling, but it's a very heavy jolt that shakes the whole car. It happens right at start up so the car is in park and the parking brake is engaged, so for all I know, it may...

Yes, the parking break is engaged. It feels like the drivetrain is causing the kick which is a strong enough jolt that you feel it through the whole car. I've not seen if it causes the wheels to move, but with how hard it kicks, I wouldn't be surprised to see movement. It doesn't happen every...

I've replicated it with both! Dealer seems pretty perplexed about it.

The car was repaired at a dealer-favored body shop, and the welding was done there. From what the dealer thinks, this should no longer be an issue, but if there's one weld missing, who knows if there are others somewhere. Bleh!

After the car is warmed up (say you drove it to the store, parked, shopped, went back to the car) and the AC was left on, when the engine turns over, the car bucks forward a bit with a loud click.

Sorry if this is in the wrong spot - first time posting! I bought a 2024 Mustang GT Premium, used, at 3,200 miles. The story I was given by the dealer was that the owner bought it when it first came out, and when the Dark Horse was released, immediately traded it in, so I figured I was getting...
