Ford parts reviews

My last car was a 2015 Ford Mustang Ecoboost (i.e. turbo four cylinder). It got pretty reasonable gas mileage (I think 27mpg lifetime), really performed well with a lot of exciting miles, and it got fun attention from people. The only repairs it needed in 10 years of ownership outside of oil/filters/tires/brakes was a replacement on the rear-view camera, which was warrantee-repaired at zero cost, and a tightening of the emergency brake cable, which was an insignificant cost.

The Continental DWS06 is a huge step up for daily use and they hook noticeably better, but they’re still an all-season, so don’t expect drag-radial levels of grip you’ll still chirp a bit if you launch hard.

Akebono ProACT or Brembo OEM ceramic pads are great for strong, reliable stopping power and low dust on a 2019 Fusion Hybrid; if the rotors are worn, replace or resurface them too.

I moved to Goodyear eagle F1s and they stick even in first gear rolling from any rpm at WOT to redline.

I have the DWS06+ on my 24 PP, world of a difference versus the perelli summers that came stock. Truly felt like I would die on those things sometimes

Only major problem I had was a bad fuel pump.

Tires feel fine (but I have only ever disliked one tire - BFG Advantage); will prob keep the GTs but might complain a bit and try to get comped road hazard coverage.

I’ve changed the cabin air filter probably 4 times now, used a foam evap coil cleaner twice, ran Lysol thru the cowl multiple times, did a descent bomb in the car. At absolute best, this lasts for a couple weeks and then back to this gross mildew smell coming from vents.

Regardless of servicing etc, that wet belt is still deteriorating as it is soaked in the hot engine oil.

If it has been done they are actually a good engine when working fine. Plenty of torque and good on fuel. It’s just the reliability of them that’s the major issue. They switched to a timing chain from the wet belt from 2018 for a good reason. The 1.2 turbo engines from PSA are also wet belts and also switched to a chain around 2023. They are a terrible design and simply not going to be economical to maintain properly as the car ages.
