Is dash vibration normal?
whenever i jump on my throttle and wake the coyote up, my dash shakes and vibrates violently from the engine noise.
is this normal? it seems like a pretty cheap build if this is a common thing amongst mustang owners. or do i need to have this looked at? seems to occur only over 4000 RPM.
i have a 2012 Manual 5.0.

The only thing noise and dash related that I have ever had is every now and then I can develop a rattle that will go away a few minutes into the drive. Those that have had 05-09s and then traded up to 10s+ will say the interior is a better quality, based on that I would guess it is not normal. Maybe someone else will chime in.

I had it when I had long tubes and a new exhaust put on.
Exhaust problems can cause noises in all sorts of places.
Mine was actually because the SLP loud mouths I had created too much
vibration within the long tubes and caused the vibration to reverberate all the way down the line and ended up showing the sound in my dash.
Yes. Exhaust problems can do this.
Check for leaks, check to make sure the heat shields are not rubbing against anything.
Check the hangers. Check EVERYTHING.
Exhaust sounds can be HARD to pinpoint and find.
I'm not saying it IS the exhaust but if it is happening only after new exhaust I'd say that pretty much narrows it down.
Then again something could be loose within your dash that is causing this.
Now since you have a new 5.0... and you don't think it's the exhaust, I'd have them take the dash apart and look at it.
Your car is under warranty and obviously something is wrong.
They HAVE to do the work under warranty if it's stock and you are having problems.
I sure as hell HATED when I had dash vibration. No WAY I'd let it be and not get it fixed.
And NO... it is NOT normal to have.
