Quit complaining? Really? Do you really believe someone shouldn't complain about a new $40,000 car in its' 4th or 5th year (?) of production with the same basic engine having these issues which involve multiple owners? And with the vast resources of Ford MOCO not having a handle on what to do? Many veteran Ford Techs chiming-in here and elsewhere say that a new PCM will likely fix it, yet Ford doesn't try this? Is this too expensive because too many folks are having this issue? One guy on another forum started having this exact problem in November 2012, and they just finally fixed it in March 2013. Quit complaining? Really?
I have had mine back to the dealership 3 times for the same problem.

I spoke too soon. It started missing yesterday morning about 2 miles from home. Engine temperature was up to about 165 degree (head temp) and I had just hit 3rd gear. It acted like it was running on 7 cylinders for about 30 seconds. Was fine the rest of the day and today.
Hello and welcome, Mike’s GT! I’d like to get this escalated to the customer service manager of your area. Please, PM me with your VIN, dealer, mileage, full name, and best daytime number so I can help.

They replaced the crank position sensor last week, one week without a problem, fingers crossed.
Question: I read somewhere that transmission had to be dropped to replace this part and rear main seal is also replaced. Is this true? What is involved in replacing this?

They replaced the CKP sensor and trigger wheel on my car 500 miles ago, and misfire has not returned since.

This awesome light came up today. I am not a happy camper right now. I literally bought this car on Saturday. Have not even had the thing for a week and it does this.
Pretty much my light started to blink this morning going to work (around 4k rpms). It blinked for about 10 seconds. On my way home from work, the check engine light began to blink again. However after about 45 seconds it stayed on. I'm at the dealer right now. Keep you guys posted!
Btw It's a 2013 mustang gt premium.
Update: the dealership uploaded another "tune" to the engine and the car appears to run fine. All in all it took about 30 minutes.

This is very disappointing, especially for being such a new car.

That's exactly what I was saying earlier about Ford learning from past experience... Why don't apply the fix right away instead of going trough all those useless steps...

You were right!! I was at a stoplight and my check engine started blinking for ~10 seconds. I PM'd Deysha. So hopefully i'll hear from someone this week. How long does replacing the crank position sensor take?

Update: The check engine light came back on this past weekend. The dealership pulled the codes today and it was the misfire again. The service guys said they uploaded a new tune (different from the first one). If this doesn't work then they will replace the Crank Position Sensor. So we will see. It has been interesting...

Tune updates and relearn have worked more than a week so far
Only solution that seems to resolve this issue is Changing the "O ring" or the CKP itself.

I'm getting these, too. Look up TSB 13-01-11. I haven't made an appointment yet but I will very soon. It's quite frustrating with a brand new car and less than 3000 miles on it! It seems to do it only when it's cold.

Update: After the second tune Ford put on my car, the check engine light started flashing again. In my state of Pennsylvania, I can claim a lemon law if it goes back in the dealership for the same issue (ford has 3 chances to fix the same issue). So, hopefully replacing the Crank Position Sensor will fix the problem.I have no idea why Ford doesn't recommend replacing the Sensor first. Money I suppose.
The only bright side of this whole ordeal is Ford has been excellant with the Customer Service.

Sent you a PM WAJM, and just as a followup, I have put about 3000 miles on the car since the PCM/CCS fix without a hitch.
I believe the problem has been solved, keeping my fingers crossed!
