Has anyone's GT350, or R had the Magnetic ride malfunction? My car in the center of the dash has it come on when I adjust the steer wheel weight, or the sport mode....And the car is so stiff....I'm not sure if this is normal and the ride is so firm that the car porpoise's up and down on a fairly un-level road...or this is something that needs to be looked at.:shrug:..granted I do only have 45 miles on it and maybe need to drive more to see if it "works its self out" :crazy: but I hate seeing it come up on the dash then go away....:frusty:

Are you saying a "Magnetic Ride Malfunction"'notice came up on your center dash screen?
If so, I've never had this warning. My GT350's ride is what I would expect depending on the setting. I've never felt it 'porpoise'...Good Luck!

If you can, record a video and try to reproduce the error message.
If you are getting a malfunction message I would have it diagnosed, If it comes on when you make steering wheel adjustments it could be a short in the wiring in the steering. If they do find an issue please share it with the group for those that may get the same issue in the future. good luck

Did the Dealership accidently leave in the front spring spacers that were installed for transport?

They are yellow blocks...

This is a possibility... I pulled out of my garage one day and looked behind me and found a yellow spacer on the ground.
