ENGINE
My 2019 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 was driving fine until all of a sudden I got a check engine light on the dash. The vehicle was not as responsive as usual and was shaking a little bit at idle. I shut the car off and then had it towed to the Ford dealership for further analysis. After inspection at a dealership it was identified, that my engine had failed. Cylinder 8 would not hold compression and had cracked the engine block. This failure can cause complete engine failure and can be a risk to the driver, passengers and anyone else in traffic.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Began over last month with difficulty or rough engine start in mornings Then engine overheated once and continues to lose coolant without visible sign of any leakage. Scan error codes P0300, P 0303, P 0304. Now with excessive steam/smoke out tail pipe when it’s started. Took to mechanic where they verified engine coolant is in atleast, cylinder #3. My safety and that of others is the engine can fail or completely break or explode while driving, causing failure to be able to control vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash or even death.

ENGINE
Noticed vehicle was running rough on idle intermittently when sitting at a stop. I thought this was due to it being a very cold winter where I am located, but after a couple months, check engine light came on and was immediately brought in for service. Coolant was found leaking into a cylinder and I had to have head gasket as well as upper portion of engine replaced. From the research I have done there have been a lot of people with the same issue as mine and a design flaw in spacing between cylinders. Incident occurred less than 10,000 miles out of warranty and was not covered.

ENGINE
I had a solid check engine light 2 days ago and called my local Ford dealership and made an appointment for the next morning. I had not experienced any problems that I really noticed with the performance of the car, maybe some rough shifting. I waited at the dealership while the assessment was done and they said they would have to keep it overnight to do a head gasket test. They called this morning and said that I could come get the car if i needed it but I would need to keep a check on the coolant. I decided to leave the car at the dealership. After the call, I researched the web for similar issues that this particular mustang might have and I started to worry after the info I found and the similar comments on the 2019 mustang owners on this website.
