Default 2010 GT check engine blinking

Hey all! I'm new to this and new to the world of Mustangs as well! Just bought a 2010 GT. It's amazing! I love it.

But, just had an issue yesterday. My car only has 900 miles on it and I went to start it up, all was fine for a few seconds. then i turned on the max air conditioning and immediately, the whole car started shaking and my stick shift was shaking like crazy too. It was in neutral and wasn't pressing in the clutch.

I started driving and it was just bogging like crazy. I had absolutely no power... I turned the a/c off and it was still shaking crazy and just bogging. I tired taking off hard and got to 2nd gear and hit the gas, the check engine light started going crazy style blinking....

About 4 minutes later at a stop light, it all went right back to normal and the car has since been acting just fine.

Can anyone shed some light? Should I get this looked at?

Any info would be very appreciated.

If it comes on again, your local automotive store ( Auto Zone, advance, Pep boys ) has a machine that can read your codes, ONLY when your " check engine " light is on though. I did a quick google search about your problem, I came up with nothing. Since its brand new, call the ford dealer and tell them whats going on.

Welcome to the forum! Sorry to hear about your power problem. Seeing that it is a 2010 I would def. call the dealership and have them look at it.

do you have SYNC in your car? Id be interested to see if the SYNC vehicle health report would have any of that show up.

did you dealer go over SYNC with you? First, you need to set up an account.

The health report is transmitted using your cell phone via bluetooth to the syncmyride site, which then sends you an email, which prompts you to log in syncmyride.com to download the report.

Once it's done, it looks something like this:
