I have a New 2013 GT 5.0 with 850 miles on it and I have had it in the shop twice and need to take it back again. The Engine light keeps coming on. It will run rough for a minute and the Engine light will come on, also seem to have a strong odor of gas, then it will run fine after that. They have relearned the computer and reset the PCM. Has anyone else had this problem. I am almost sorry I traded my Corvette for it.

 

Under warranty? Take it back one more time, then mention you want to start a lemon law action. I think it's 3 times to the shop for the same problem without a fix that can earn you a filing for this act.
Or try another dealership, or try the regional service rep, or wait for the service rep that frequents this site (Deysha?). She's been real good at helping folks out here by contacting the dealership for you before you take the car in.

 

Search for the "Misfire" thread in this forum and you will see the progression of things to do and the 2 TSB"s that have been issued by Ford, Have your dealer look up the TSB's and see if they are applicable for your CEL codes.
My Gt has the same problem but there is nothing wrong with the engine.
Deysha will be a big help also.

 

 

Thanks have read all your problems. The Dealer has checked the codes. This is my 3 rd trip. I have also contacted Deysha. What the tech is telling me is he hooked it up and it will run Ok for awhile then one of the cylinders will misfire run Ok and another cylinder will misfire. It is in the shop now and the tech is waiting for a call back from Ford. I knew I should have kept my Corvette. The G.M. gods are punishing me. I worked for G.M. for 30 yrs.

 

Well no company is without problems. Could've easily happened to a new corvette. Just depends on your luck.

Hopefully ford answers back.

 

I had the same issues when my car was under 5000 miles. Happened 3 times. Ultimately, it has stopped. I have no idea why. Runs like a champ since then. I hope they get yours worked out.

 

 

Thanks, I hope so, tired of taken a new car back, especially 3 times. It's a shame that I have to be affraid to drive a new car for any distance and think about being broke down somewhere on a cold wintery night.

 

Like you said it is a shame to be afraid to drive the car any distance because you are worried about a CEL, etc., but, it can be fixed.

 

The question is WHEN ? I took it in again today. They need to keep it overnight. I sure am getting tired of this. Maybe I need to file Lemon Law.

 

Wow dude you hate the car already ?

 

'NO' I love the car, but when you put that much money into something ( paid cash for the Mustang from what I got out of the Corvette ) it's a little different. I just hate the problems and the inconvenience.

 

You need to contact Ford and get a Ford rep involved. This is a common with the 2013 PCM and Ford knows about it.

 

I have already done that too. I sent the Ford Rep on here " Deysha " a PM with all my information last weekend and have heard nothing back from her, sent her another PM last night and still have not heard a word.

 

She's not a factory rep. You need a Ford engineer to look into the problem. There's a couple of threads on S197forum.com that you should read about the same problem you have.

 

I do believe the dealership did get a Engineer involved in it. I have the Car back and they tried a few other things and they told me to drive it and see what happens. The Tech told me he does not have confidence that what he did is going to work. Boy that really helped build my confidence up too.

 

Thank you for the mention, guys! Black GT 5.0, I received your PMs. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Deysha

 

Thanks.

 

Deysha, Thank you very much. Brian the Ford Regional Manager has contacted me and hopefully my problems will be resolved shortly. I will update everyone soon. Again thank you.
