I've recently gotten a new 2016 Mustang and the video linked shows the issue I am having. It's happened before and the last time it ended up dying. As seen in the video I slightly press the gas and it keeps doing it. After a harder press on the pedal, it quits and idles like normal. You may need headphones to hear the sound it makes. My first thought was bad gas, or too low of an octane of gas so I ran that tank dry and put a full tank of Shell V-Power Nitro+ and it's doing it again. Sure, I could have gotten bad gas twice but I doubt it. I would like to know what anyone thinks this problem is. Of course, I'll take it back to the dealership for them to look at it, but I want to know what's causing it.

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

I've seen a similar issue with 2 GT's but this is the first time seeing this with a V6. Does the car have a tune installed by chance or is it completely stock?

It's barebones stock.

I would head back to the dealer with that one, the two others that I've seen have had issues related to aftermarket tuning
