TSBs and other Issues
Thought we might want start a thread about TSBs, software updates and other important service / maintenance issues we might all want to know about. So if you have found a TSB or taken your ride in for a software update..... Let us know here so we can all be informed. I would suggest if you have the TSB# add a short description as to what it is for. If you had a software update please let us know what it was for as well.
Just a thought!!

i have the sticking clutch pedal issue on and off and the rear end whine. i also have this issue where my right foot can't seem to keep the pedal from going down too far and killing fuel economy.

yes when i picked up the first boss i had i nearly got ran over trying to merge onto the highway leaving the dealership. floored it and nothing. i figured it was a delivery thing like the Shelbys. after 50 miles it got sideways trying to merge onto the next highway because i did'nt expect it to go yet.

I just had my LCAs replaced this morning per the bulletin. No issues, no questions, they just did it. Brought the car in for the initial check on Friday, parts were ordered, got a call Monday saying the parts were in, dropped the car off 0730 Tuesday, picked it up at noon. Done.
ISSUE:
Some 2011-2012 Mustangs built on or before 4/1/2011 may exhibit a grunt/creak/chirp/squeak noise from the front lower control arm hydro bushing. These noises may occur over large vertical bumps like speed bumps, pot holes, rough roads and driveway approaches.
ACTION:
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Use chassis ears on the lower control arm hydro bushing bracket tabs to verify noise is coming from the hydro bushing. The hydro bushing is the large diameter bushing at the rear of the control arm.
If the noise is not confirmed as coming from the hydro bushing, do not continue with the article. Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 204-00 for normal diagnostics.
If the noise is confirmed as coming from the hydro bushing, replace the lower control arm that is making the noise. Refer to WSM, Section 204-01.

Being that the noises in question were sporadic at best, I will hold judgement for a few more days. I will be getting another phone call from Ford Customer Service on Friday to check up, but so far, yes, all indications are that this fixed the issue. I'll post up if I experience anything to the contrary later on.
