2017 Ford Mustang 2dr Coupe

turbocharged 310hp 2.3L I4 6-speed manual RWD

5000 mi The brake-light switch was replaced under warranty. The faulty component was causing off-and-on issues with the cruise-control system and resulted in an intermittent "flutter" while driving, which made it feel like the engine was cutting out for a second or so (fortunately this only happened every couple-hundred miles and only for a second).
