Hi everyone! We just bought our new-to-us 2015 SHO in August. The week before we bought, we spent all of our free time reading posts here to learn more about it and what we might be getting into 
I had heard of the SHO years ago but had no idea they were still making it. Thank you all for the many helpful, interesting, and sometimes very funny posts.
I especially appreciated the posts about problems (prepared us for the PTU oil changes!) Well unfortunately, I already have one of my own to contribute. But maybe it will be helpful to someone else.
1 month after we bought it, hop in and it won't start. Console and dash lights are flashing, Sync kept trying to restart and then going dead, rinse-repeat. drove it daily with zero problems up to this point. Pop the hood and the battery cables were smoking! We disconnected the battery, had it towed to the dealer (it's a Ford CPO). They said it was a battery leak - replaced the battery and cables, didn't charge us.
10 days later, car won't start again. This time, no flashing lights or anything, just dead. Again, zero problems with daily driving over the last 10 days. Towed back to the dealer. They said it was a defective battery, replaced it, told us to come pick it up. But when we opened the driver's side door, the car was making the "no seat belt" chime. Service guy says "OK it's not supposed to do that, better check it out." They checked both of our fobs, no problems with those, but they also discovered our remote start function wasn't working.
So that took 3 days to diagnose and now the verdict is..."we isolated the drain to your shifter and it's covered." Not sure exactly what that entails or how it's draining the battery, but they're going to fix it. Hopefully the shifter is the fix. We love this car, but we love driving it too!
