Well I have a 2011 5.0 and so far I have logged 6888 miles and I love this car but now I find out there is a problem with the starter and over 300 starters are on back order. My dealer told me it will be 20 Dec if I'm lucky. So far I have had the Air bag replaced and now the starter. Thats still better than the GTO, and two Skys I had, in one year I have 3 Diff replaced and GTO would leek oil at the rate of a qt a week the dealer never could fix it. GM ended up buying it...

So, you didn't say what the starter problem is.

 

My guess is, it wouldn't start the car.....

 

"Leek" ? Did it smell oniony?

 

The starter hangs and will not mesh with the fly wheel. seal9

 

Welcome aboard! Sorry you're having bad luck with your Stang. I hope this is not another problem that will drive us all crazy.

 

Whack it with a hammer.

Seriously.

 

Good advice. We call it "mechanically agitating" the part, but it works.

 

Yes I have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Gone through 3 starters. When they acted up and it would not start I carried a hammer. A good wack worked everytime. Fixes "the hang" that occurs.

 

Lol, you guys are funny! Just imagining someone on a date crawling under there 2011 with a hammer. Maybe that would impress?

 

Always more impressive to fix it yourself within minutes than it is to wait an hour and a half for AAA to show up.

 

If you can CRAWL under that car that would really impress,forget about fixing anything.

 

I'm in disbelief that its on back order till the 20th. Are they having that much problem with them that there on back order that long?
