Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problems of the 2018 Ford Mustang

When the engine is cold and when warm and running under 2000 rpm the engine makes a inconsistent ticking noise which can be heard while driving and at idle. This only started after the first oil change which was performed with the recommended oil.

Car has a loud ticking sound once warmed up and at idle. Also occurs when rpms are between 1500-2000. Dealer told me it's the new direct fuel injection system. Research online shows many other Mustang gt owners having the same problems and found evidence of piston slap and scoring. Dealership won't take initiative to fix or diagnose this problem. Problem also showing up on 2019 models. Ford keeps deflecting their responsibility to address this issue and dealerships will not stand behind their customers and help them. Please help bring Ford to take responsibility for this problem and fix the issue.

At certain rpm ranges the piston can be heard slapping the cylinder walls, cylinder wall scoring is present and may cause premature failure of engine. It can become worse down the road and create misfires, from no compression, also can make for a very loud engine knocking noise. I have driven a few of them and they all have the sound. Ford built the engines with too much clearance between pistons and cylinder walls. Also there is a ticking noise at idle that Ford claims is normal but people are having damages to there vehicles from this. Attached is cylinder wall scoring photos.
