Default Ecoboost Mustang is ****

Hey guys, recently my car is acting up. I've had it about for a year and one day now and I'm already encountering many problems. At 5k miles I got an engine light for overboosting so I took it to the dealership and they "fixed" it. They changed someething on the wastegate. So after "fixing it" 4K miles after same problem once again... So I took it in and they were gonna order the same part again and fix the same problem. So they reset the light and I drove off. The next morning I remote started my car and when I went downstairs to my car, I thought my house was on fire, but little do I know my car is making HUGE CLOUDS OF SMOKE and it smelt like something was on fire. So the same exact moment I took it in, so they can fix it. They told me 2015 models have a problem like this, something under the intake that they had to change. They gave me the name of the parts. So my car was at the shop for a week, and apparently they fixed the wastegate and installed 2 other parts to fix that burning smell and smoke. So I got my car back today, and I went for a test drive and now my ****** car doesn't pull as much as it did before... When my foot is on the throttle all the way down, my Rpms go up very slowly whereas before it would fly up, and it takes awhile for it to gain speed... At this point idk what to do. Any one with the same problem? Any advice, solutions?

Keep taking it back until they get it right to your expectations.

I would take it to a different Ford dealer.

It's under warranty and maybe under lemon law.

lets not throw out the "lemon law" line for an OP who cant even articulate what the fist problem was caused by, what the codes were, what was going to be replaced this time, or what caused his fire and smoke. lemon laws are specific and require alot of down time for the same concern, and require that down time to be concurrent.
