Dark Horse- rear view mirror vibration

[jptresch]

Anyone experience this with their 2024? Inside rear view mirror shakes badly enough it distorts the view when on anything but a perfectly smooth road. Car has ~800 miles on it and didn't do it when first purchased. Doesn't appear to be a simple "oh the screw isn't tight" issue. Gonna take to dealer at some point to see what they say.

Possibly a bent wheel from a pothole?

I don't feel a vibration. It's only on asphalt that is even the slightest bit rougher. If it was a wheel I would think even on smooth road it might do something. I may get the dealer to check tire balance/road force just to be sure.

My 2024 GT does this too, I chalked it up to just the exhaust rattling it. I noticed it on my way home from the dealer and I'm now at 2400 miles.

Same thing with my Dark Horse since new. Even the weak subwoofer in the B&O vibrates it a bit, but also just from driving.

There is a motor drive system to move the mirror from inside. Put your fingers gently on the mirror and see if it moves with a little pressure. If it does, something is loose inside the mirror and you probably should have your dealer look at it.

There's a motor in your rear view mirror on the windshield?

I though you meant the side mirrors. Anyway, the test still applies. My mirror is very difficult to move and takes a lot of pressure. I had to try a couple of times to force it where I wanted it. If it is easy to move, what ever provides the friction to hold it in place isn't right.

My 2019 GT has always done this

Well, good....or bad to know that most of them all do it.

I have same issue with my Dark Horse (EU version). Over 60-70mph (100kmh) the rearview mirror start to vibrate...
I will have the car to be checked with some other minor issues (hood shakes over 70mph... and at low rpm 1400-1500 I feel very light vibration from the dirvetrain etc). Will advise on the solution proposed by the dealer.

I have had the car repaired at the Ford dealer and now it looks that vibration issues have been solved (low speed 1400-1500rmp range and rear view mirror as well). They have replaced the left rear halfshaft. It looks that the joint was kind of loose.

Have the 2025 60th Anniversary, Brittney Blue mustang, picked it up form dealer on Nov 30th. Has around 650 miles on it currently. I noticed the rearview mirror vibrating to the extent is creates a fuzzy image at anything over 70 mph. It feels like there is a motor buzzing when you put your hand on it - this of course is unacceptable. So I'm heading to the dealer soon since it seems to be a know issue, which is disappointing because something as simple and reliable as a rearview mirror shouldn't need a lot of engineering design work/thought. Guess I should have keep my 2021 GT500 CFTP...

That's the exact issue I have. I haven't gone back to the dealer for it though. I don't feel any vibration anywhere else in the car.
