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 a good deal. Listed at $46k.
A few months after purchasing the car in Dec 2023, I took it on a 2,000 mile road trip. After about 1,200 miles, I was stopped at a gas station to refuel. Car would not start, threw over a dozen codes, and left me stranded. I could remote start the car and as soon as I put it into drive, the motor would cut off. Thankfully, a dealer was nearby and I was able to get the car to them. They performed an update (to the ABS module?) saying that it can cause no-start conditions. Interesting, but the car has started up every time after that.
Shortly after that, I noticed that the windows were fogging up after a lot of rain. Come to find out that the carpets on both driver and passenger sides, front and back, were soaked with water. I assumed it was user-error with a wet umbrella, but even after the car sits in the rain with the windows up (I triple checked) water would still get to the interior of the car. Brought the car to the dealer to have it checked out under warranty, gave them a list of things to check out while it was there, including an annoying squeak/rattle in the dashboard.
During their investigation of this phantom noise, they found that the car was missing welds from the factory and a "texture like caulking" had been applied in place of the welds as a last-ditch effort to get the car off the factory floor. Car has been to three different body shops now for one reason or another, welding, trying to find the source of this noise, etc. Car has been welded properly, but noise remains.
I also find that the car kicks forward when you turn it on and the engine is warm, and the AC is on. The dealer isn't sure they'll be able to replicate the issue.
Who else is going through a rough time with their S650? I love love love the car, but I haven't had it for a month. It currently has 11,000 miles on it, surely it shouldn't have all these issues.
