    I also have a 2015 Ford Mustang V6 with the exact same problem. I haven't fixed it because it usually works fine, but if I sit idling at a dead stop in traffic it gets a little dicy. Feels like the brake booster for sure! Once I get moving and it builds a little air pressure it works fine again. Will replace the booster one of these days, or trade the car in. 100,000 miles with no other problems, and I love the V6.

    My mother had a situation after we had been out in my car, came home, had to move the cars around. My mom started her 83 Reliant, and when i looked up from my car she was across the street, up on the concrete wall, and had hit the home across the way slightly - this could have been driver error, but the mechanic also found where the brake booster had been leaking internally, and said that may have caused a runaway condition AND diminished braking - and she had a very short distance to react. I have been concerned that perhaps some of the accidents attributed to driver error on the elderly may actually be parts like this that may wear differently due to the cars no longer being driven daily, and perhaps sitting for a few days or a week at a time - had the car repaired, never had this happen again.

    Scotty, I have had forty cars in my life, everything from a Sunbeam Alpine to a Jaguar and three Corvettes and four Thunderbirds. My 2016 Mustang is the best car I’ve ever had. It’s fast, comfortable, nimble and thoroughly dependable. I literally have only had to repair the AC and driver’s window under warranty. Nothing else. I love this car and will buy another when the time comes.

Those 4 cylinders 10 years from now the 4 banger is going to be worn out because they have smaller parts which translates to shorter strokes, and tighter tolerances. I just don't see these engines holding up the way a V8 can. Especially with those Turbos. I'd ont care for those wonky 10 speed transmissions either. I much prefer an 6-8 speed.

    Scotty,
    One thing I don't think you mentioned before. Dealers, (I think everyone of them), do want to find a problem so they can rip you off. They tell you they can hook up their fancy diagnostic machine to find the problem. The only bad thing is that they will not hook it up until the person agrees to pay them about $150.00 to do it. They try to convince the car owner that they have to get money back for buying the expensive diagnostics machine.

    WRONG!...(maybe). Common problem is the hydraulic control unit and ABS seals stick with no codes. It comes from very old brake fluid. (Most mechanics do not change the brake fluid during a brake job). Brake fluid is only good for about 5yrs or 60K. Try bleeding entire brake system and give it time for new brake fluid. Problem may go away........or yeah, change the wrong parts like booster and they'll have to put new brake fluid in and problem will go away..for awhile. Love your vids Scotty!

    Well I thought FORD found out the secret to making cars just like Toyoto or Mazda... Actually Mazda told them how to do it, and years later FORD still doesn't know how to build a reliable car. So sooo sad.

      I have a 1996 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 with 210,000 miles and still going strong. The only things I replaced on my truck was the starter, the rear fuel pump, and the power steering megunisum but other than that mostly was just simple maintenance, took out the transmission fluid just to get rid of the shuttering it was making and it hasn't had a problem ever since. I also have a 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it with 147,000 miles on it and still going strong as well and its a beast and it sounds like a beast with the Borla ATAK exhaust on it.

    Scotty, Scotty, you got to change the master cylinder. I've worked on cars professionally since 1960 and master cylinders are always going out. You don't take a chance whether it's a little leak or big leak. You replace the master cylinder with the new OEM. You can't take the liability to tell the customer to drive it's not too bad.

    Good video. I remember my parents had a his and her Ford Maverick, light green for mom and dark green for dad. And yes, stay very far away from Chinese brake parts.

    I remember on "The Golden Girls" Fords in St. Olaf were called "Fjords" One of Rose's neighbors owned a Fjord Fairlane.
    Maybe the Mustangs with the 3.7 didn't make the power of the turbo 2.3 they do seem to hold up better. Normally I would avoid a 3.5 or 3.7 that was front drive because of the water pump but in the rear drive cars Ford used a different water pump that was outside the engine so you didn't have to pull the whole thing to replace it.

      Sorry. But, that's not correct. I have a 2016 F150, 3.5 Flexfuel. It has the internal water pump. Same thing for the Ecoboost 3.5 motors as well. Not one of Ford's better ideas.

    Dealerships and some repair shops are now charging $ 250.00, for what is called
    a "Diagnostic test", even if you know why you are taking your car in.

    Good afternoon Scotty. That Mustang still looks good for the mileage. If I were to buy a Mustang I would want the V8

      @@donaldstepp4850 For sure, but basically the entire chassis, power/drivetrain are entirely different in late model V6 vs V8 (GT) Mustangs. So a motor swap wouldn't build you the same car. It'll be cheaper and easier to just start with a GT
