Phoenix is demanding on a Ford Mustang GT350R. Extreme heat, stop-and-go traffic and long highway miles on the I-17, the 51 and the Loop 101 all show up as wear. Below are the Ford Mustang GT350R problems owners report most often, what each one looks like from the driver's seat, and how we fix it.
Most Common Ford Mustang GT350R Problems in Phoenix
Ranked by owner complaints filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for the Mustang GT350R. Counts reflect reports filed, not the share of vehicles affected.
1. Engine
59 NHTSA owner complaints for the Mustang GT350R mention the engine and cooling system (24% of 243 reviewed).
What it looks like:
- Check engine light or rough idle
- Overheating or coolant smell
- Loss of power or poor mileage
- Oil leaks or low oil
What we do: Engine and cooling complaints are best caught early in Phoenix, where heat pushes cooling systems and engine oil to their limits. We diagnose warning lights and check coolant, hoses and oil condition. See our check engine light diagnostics and oil change & maintenance pages.

What it looks like:
- Slow cranking or clicking when starting
- Dim or flickering lights

What we do: Electrical problems are made worse by desert heat, which ages batteries, cables and connectors. We test the battery, starter and charging system and trace faults to the actual part. See our battery replacement and starter & alternator repair pages.
