Anyone else: Car hesitates once, then drives normally

RotorMomCommunity StarterJan 7, 20262024 Ford Mustang GTNationwide
2024 Ford Mustang GT, about 8,200 miles. Every few days I get a brief hesitation pulling away from a stop. It feels like the engine cuts power for half a second and then everything is normal. No stored light on the dash. Wondering what live data would be worth logging.

I'd slow the salesperson down here. If they're pushing term length to shrink the payment, the 2024 Ford Mustang price probably got worse. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. If the title is messy I'm out, full stop.

Walk if they won't put it on a buyer’s order. I would not wire money until I've seen the 2024 Ford Mustang and the title situation in person or via a trusted PPI. That's the part that actually changes the decision. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. If they only talk monthly I'm walking.

Agree — and I'd add this: A written buyer’s order on the 2024 Ford Mustang is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” If they balk, that's your answer. This is from a 2024 Ford Mustang in Nationwide with 8,200 miles. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. This is the version I'd tell a friend.
