I'm curious as to who is NOT having issues with their ST?

I know, that is why I wanted to do a poll, to get a better sense of how many people are having issues. Is it most people, or just a few?

No issues at all. Build date of Feb. 2020. And I’m extremely picky about stuff with cars too.

My transmission shifts horribly, I just haven't had the time to go in, but it's super jerky I hate it. Makes me not enjoy driving it. Then various gremlins with the infotainment system. Self park is either broken or completely useless.

Nothing huge it has always driven when I need it, but chances are this is my last Ford for a while.

What’s your build date and how many miles/kms did you start having these issues...

Honestly not sure what my build date is, I got the car in March and have about 3k miles now, but the problems with the tranny have been around a long time. I don't know if the transmission is just rough shifting or I have an issue going on.

Sounds like you have an issue. Mine shifts beautifully.

Maybe it should have been a FLAG when I bought a used ST @ 8K miles.

With all the multiple trips to the dealership, they ended up fixing it on the 5th final trip. Now my Carfax looks terrible. Battery cap issue, created a bunch of false electrical alerts.

It's been fine since. But it has already altered my wife & I's impression on quality control from Ford.

UDPATED: spelling

I took delivery end of May. I sometimes feel a subjective jerkiness in shifting when the critter is not warmed up fully. But otherwise I have had no issues. I’m quite content with the vehicle and the mods so far. Overall, 20mpg.
