Common problems and easy repairs on a 2017 Mustang

The 2017 Ford Mustang GT is a difficult vehicle to maintain. All of the headlights have complicated access—either requiring a housing disconnection or wheel well lining removal—and won’t allow for reliable bulb changes. Replacing the battery will be challenging as a large panel must be removed before making a cramped reach for the bracket. Fixing a flat tire may be a problem if the tire is too severely damaged to be patched by the compressor kit.

However, the 2017 Ford Mustang GT does have its upsides. Some of the tail lights in the rear bumper are accessible by simply reaching behind them, allowing for reliable bulb changes. The engine coolant reservoir has unobstructed access that will allow you to monitor the fluid levels without hassle. Changing the engine air filter won’t be a problem as the cover disengages without the use of tools.
