this is why i decided to go for a new 19 since its a car I plan to keep for a very long time
Good info. I own a 2019 GT350R with 5K miles. No problems at all. No oil consumption. Really solid car.
I have a 19 r also. When I drive spirited and hit 8k, I’ll have some oil in the catch can. I was about a quart low after 5k miles. I now use AmsOil and haven’t had any issues. Just checked the oil today with 2.5k miles and haven’t burned any oil. Used 1 paper towel to clean out the passenger catch can. I recommend AmsOil esp for Gen 1 Voodoos
Im looking to buy one and reasearching a lot about it i want the R one , but what year should i buy ?
@TrackMonkey327 How many of these 5K miles are from track use? I am guessing zero.
I dumped mine within a year of buying it. I was disappointed with it the moment I drove it over the curb. The only thing I miss is the exhaust note.
Thank you. That was a big help.
Do the 2016 or 2017 R’s burn oil? I really want a avalanche grey R. Im looking at 19-20 R’s for the non oil consumption, but I really love the avalanche grey color.
Thanks great info. So 2020 gt 350 has the least amount of issues? Correct?
my 2017 was eating oil. about 40% of them did between 16-18. if your gt350 is eating ANY oil it will only slowly get worse. ford replaced mine with gen2 block and can pleasantly say have not eaten one drop in a year and a half !
40%?? Lmaoo.. Put the pipe down
@@hnic72 clearly you don’t know ..
My 2017 with it's gen 1 voodoo has 9000 miles on it and doesn't appear to burn any oil. I bought it with 5500 miles on it. It's got a little bit of bumper sag. Otherwise zero issues. Rock solid amazing car. I have a little over 2 years of factory cpo powertrain warranty remaining.
Have you had any problems with power loss over time and any tips for maintaining it I bought my 2017 at 70,000 miles and it’s at 90,000 now but for some reason I have a feeling it’s losing power over all and I do my oil change every 3,000 miles I was just wondering how your experience was
@@cyphxtentr1303 I sold it shortly after posting this comment to scratch the Porsche Itch. Now I have a 997.2 C2S manual. I miss my GT350 but the 911 is an amazing analog machine.
Does Ford allow buying extended warranty for 2019 or 2020 gt 350?
I have a 2016 GT350 and absolutely love it! Zero problems with it
Hi Geno I’m looking at a 2016 with voodoo engine gt350 but is this vin specific ?
@@cobra6267Hi! No, just make sure it has oil catch cans and look at the overall condition of it. Only 3% were affected and as long as it was maintained correctly you should be good.
@@genomontes211 hi geno can u call me ?
@@genomontes211 world the vin tell if that needs a motor or will have a problem?
@@cobra6267 of course. send me your number and I'll call you
This video should have called “don’t buy a GT350/R
I have 17, daily driver with a little over 53, 000 miles. Aside from one of the rear magnarides developing a leak and the rear bumper sag, she's been good to me.
How much did it cost to fix the leak?
@@Richboyrich26 about $840 at the dealership
@@ghuff31 not bad!!
This is all VERY old news. We all got over that and realize the 350 is still one of the best and most desirable card out there.
Im on the same boat Gopher. But acknowledging the issues should definitely be a consideration as a new owner.
You got over it, but the used car market didn’t.
@@chijen2010 I’ve been wondering why I’ve seen so many GT350’s popping up for sale.
@bubberrand the value of them skyrocketed. I almost bought one pre pandemic for 38k
I have a 2016 that’s perfect…I get wood just looking at it!!
I have a 2016R and its a beast. properly breaking these engines in is important though. good luck all
My gen 1 motor burns 1 qt of amsoil per 1000 miles like clockwork
Meh a guy with a gen 2 motor states it doesn’t burn any
Great "Nuts and bolts" presentation. I needed to know the Shelby GT 350's flaws, not I am more aware. I am stoll digging.
"Now that I am more aware".....it was I was trying to say.
I did a lot of research on vooblew cars and would tell you If you are looking for a car to use on track... keep looking. However, if you are cruising to cars and coffee you should be good.
Great video. It still amazes me how Mustang owners are so sensitive about facts being presented about there car. Had a 2018 GT350 go through two motors and I sold it. Way too many serious issues. Its one of the best sounding motors but it was engineered to shake apart. Ford cut corners as alway.
Thank you!
People are just sensitive when they spend 50k on a car. I am not saying every GT350 has these issues either, just things potential owners should be aware of.
Sorry you had to go through those headaches
My 2019 has no oil consumption 👍🏻
oil consumption is a bad sign don’t blow a head gasket get it checked
I was looking at a 2016 GT350, glad I didn’t try an get the car. The dealer wants $59,995 😬
Is it the one is MI with 3536 miles?

This video seems very random. I'll bet I can break down the failure rate for you. Highest rate..2017, with 7115 cars produced. 2nd highest rate, 2016 with 6169 cars produced 3rd highest 2018 with 4378 cars produced, and so on. There were improvements made to the engines across the years but there is no evidence that the percentage of failure is higher or lower across any of the model years. Oil consumption was addressed with new piston and ring packs in 2017 and again in 2018. If you have any information that shows otherwise please let us know.
There were a few post mentioning their 2019 was burning a little bit of oil and same with the 2020. Was it worth mentioning? Maybe not as it was just a few and does not represent the majority. Thank you for pointing that out.
@robfarolino3021The primary issue with the vooblew engine is the way ford implemented the FPC concept. They didn't use the same offset as Ferrari, GM, others for their FPC engines. The Ford implementation of FPC causes second order vibrations that are near impossible to control, especially as the revs climb. Which is why some folks have issues and others do not, of course YMMV based on how you drive. But don't take my word for it, do some research on the topic. I did before making a final decision on a new track toy a few years back and passed on the frod fpc experiment.
@@FL50ssp so do you think its risky to buy a gt350? i know im a little late. considering on picking up a 2019/2020 with the gen 2 voodoo next year and i dont wanna have to spend $30k on a new 5.2 down the road lol.
If you drive the car more , the tire will worn out quicker my friend 😂 don’t buy anything than 😂
You mentioned the transmission cooler line crimp , but then said it would lead to engine failure.
As far as 2015-2018 Voodoo engines and failure is concerned, there haven't been 8,000 engines that have failed. The majority of failures are engine replacement in the same car, which indicates whom ever is having engine failures is most likely not breaking in the engines properly, and ultimately causing the problem.
I've done a detailed analysis on numerous claims, and noted that less than 1% of these engines were actually flawed, using readily available information from spread sheets published in numerous forums.
If you do the homework, you'll see that the majority of people filing complaints are being counted several times, hence the inflated numbers.
Do you actually own one to make a reliable review??? I don't think so...
I have realized that the majority of "reviews" are highly biased. Doing hours of research with owner after owner saying just about the same thing is enough to dictate issues that should be acknowledge as a new potential owner. I tried to be as transparent as possible from the very beginning.
@@AutoMotivate The bottom line is, you can't review anything if you don't experience it in person. Of course you've got biased comments because you have no idea about GT350 experiencing it yourself.
@@lenf3641 I disagree and probably so does all the folks who have thanked me for helping them buy their next car.
@@AutoMotivate I came to the same conclusion about your analysis, your findings are flawed, at best. Which only leads one to realise that you most definitely have never owned one of these cars.
There are a lot of haters out there, claiming to have first hand knowledge of alleged issues, but ultimately, it all comes back to the hate.
What is really going on?
Did a GT350 owner break your heart when he sent you to gapplebees?
Or is it that you cannot afford one, so you made this video in an attempt to diminish the value?
Either way, your opinion isn't fact based.
@@Eraudog it’s funny because I’ve already had many owners validate this video. Sorry I hurt your feelings for telling the truth
