Hey Everyone-
I got my first oil change done at my dealer on Friday at 788 miles. Afterwards, went cruisin and put about 50 miles on the car, driving easy but not babying it too much (after car was warmed up).
I got home and pulled into the garage and heard a tapping noise, but only for a brief second when the RPMs were between 1000-1200-ish. Sounds like an exhaust leak tapping noise or like a lifter tap on the old 5.0's. I was horrified and pissed at the same time. Although I saw them pull my car directly into the shop and watched them do the oil change then pull it back out, I thought the tech must have done something wrong. Looking back, I know that isn't true.
Took car back to dealer yesterday AM to let service advisor know my concerns. they immediately got a tech on it, drove it a bit and heard the noise clear as day as well. When I got back to the dealer the tapping nopise was more prominant then before.
After about 30 minutes, the service advisor came back and gave me a printout with the following info:
"OASIS SPECIAL SERVICE MESSAGE NUMBER: 21363
Message Title: 2011 Mustang - 5.0L - Engine/Transmission Chrip Noise
Applicable Vehicles:
2011 Car : 00071 Mustang
OASIS MESSAGE:
Some 2011 Mustang vehicles equipped with a 5.0L engine may exhibit a chirp noise heard from the rear of the engine or the front of the transmission. Engineering is currently investigating this condition. Until a new servcie procedure and/or parts are available do not attempt repair. Monitor OASIS for updates."
Well, I'll continue to drive it and try to enjoy it until they figure out what is going on with this noise. On second thought, maybe I'll just drive my '93 5.0 and enjoy some old school 5.0 drivin. :coolman:
Thoughts/Advice on my OASIS problem are appreciated in advance.
Thanks,
Sean
