Summary

Battery terminals on this and other ford models corrode to the point of breaking electrical connection possibly disabling vehicle. Ford does not want to fix issue and says whole wiring harness requires replacement to repair. Battery is often replaced and terminal cleaned but it comes back. They try to put off repairs long enough to get it out of warranty. F150 ford pickups have same issue. Corrosion advances so far as to break battery cable clamp. It is generally the positive clamp. Problem is so common that aftermarket manufacturers have issued redesigned replacements.

Summary

Purchased a used 2018 Ford Mustang 3 weeks ago, just now able to get it registered, and the entire electronic instrument panel cluster (e.g., speedometer, warning lights, etc.) all went fuzzy for a few minutes and then totally failed; now just stays totally dark and unreadable. This is an optional all digital instrument panel cluster with programmable color that was a $2,200 option when new. I read online in car forums reports of many others having the same exact issue with the optional 2018 Mustang digital instrument cluster failing and going dark some within weeks of the car being new, and there was a recall on this instrument panel going dark for the 2019 model year. I saw an online post where a driver is driving for 6 months without the speedometer or warning lights functioning because of the repair cost being more than $2000. I got a quote from a Ford dealer for my repair today: $2396.00. This car is less than 5 months out of bumper-to-bumper Ford warranty and under the 36,000 miles limit at 30,383. This appears to be a known and apparently frequent safety issue so I thought Ford customer support might help me out but on calling them today they said they cannot do anything to help. They expect me to pay the $2396.00 for repairs with no assistance for what looks to be an inherent safety defect.

Summary

The transmission failed while driving on a busy street making a left turn. My safety and my passenger's safety was at risk because there was oncoming traffic when I made a left turn and a car was trailing me. Just like another complaint, "10 speed transmission did not engage then failed less than a second later while pulling into an intersection. This caused the car to enter the intersection but fail to go forward more than a few feet. The problem resolved after three attempts to go forward by pumping the gas peddle. The transmission also was jerking or jumping from 1st through 3rd gear as if the car could not find the correct gear to be in while going forward. The problem resolved after the first mile of driving". However, for me the problem returned again once I turned the car off, and restarted it. After less than a mile of driving, the transmission began malfunctioning again jumping, and jerking until the transmission just stopped working altogether. Someone has posted experiencing the same malfunction on the same model and year vehicle and I wonder if there are others that have had the same scary, horrible experience? Due to my transmission malfunctioning during my turn, I was lucky that the oncoming car just stopped and blew at me, and the car behind me just went around me instead of crashing into my rear. The car was towed to the dealer and is in the process of being evaluated. There were no warning lights or messages prior to the incident and the automobile is now at the dealership because the vehicle totally stopped driving.

Summary

10 speed transmission did not engage then failed less than a second later while pulling into an intersection. This caused the car to enter the intersection but fail to go forward more than a few feet. The problem resolved after three attempts to go forward by pumping the gas peddle. The transmission also was jerking or jumping from 1st through 3rd gear as if the car could not find the correct gear to be in while going forward. The problem resolved after the first mile of driving. This is a recurrent but sporadic issue. The issue has caused near miss collision by another driver thinking my car was going to accelerate when the forward motion stopped but there were no brake lights in indicate the car was not going forward. The jerking and jumping has made it hard to control the car during turns and on slippery road. I have an appointment scheduled for service at a Ford Dealer for them to see if the issue is able to be address.

Summary

THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM (SYNC 3 W/ CARPLAY) THAT CAME STOCK WITH MY 2018 MUSTANG ECOBOOST RECENTLY STOPPED WORKING. THE CAR HAS 42K MILES ON IT AND IS JUST OVER 2 YEARS OLD. SYNC 3 STARTED TO RANDOMLY LAG (20-60 SEC LAG PER BUTTON PRESS), BUTTONS BECAME UNRESPONSIVE (PRESS NOT RECOGNIZED AT ALL), SHOWED INCORRECT GPS LOCATIONS WHILE USING CARPLAY (PLUGGED IN) WITH MULTIPLE MAP SERVICES, BACKUP CAM ISSUES, AND WOULD CAUSE BLUETOOTH TO DISCONNECT RANDOMLY. I LOGGED A COMPLAINT WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND BROUGHT IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE APIM COMPONENT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE DEALERSHIP NOTED THIS IS COMMON AND PLAGUES OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME APIM. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH VERIFIED THIS. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THIS: WHILE USING THIS SYSTEM IT CAN CREATE MANY DISTRACTIONS WHILE DRIVING IF THE SYSTEM IS NOT RESPONDING AS EXPECTED. EVEN THE STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS HAVE A LAG TO THEM. ONE SUCH SCENARIO THAT CAUSED GREAT ISSUE WAS ADJUSTING THE CLIMATE CONTROL DURING COLDER MONTHS WHEN THE WINDOWS/WINDSHIELD FOG UP. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU CAN'T SEE WHILE DRIVING. TYPICALLY, I CAN REACT QUICKLY TO GET RID OF THE FOG, BUT SINCE THIS COMPONENT IS DEFECTIVE, THE SYSTEM DID NOT RESPOND AND THE FOG HAD TO BE MANUALLY REMOVED. ADDITIONALLY, THIS COMPONENT SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED WITHIN 2YR OF PURCHASE OF THE CAR, SINCE IT IS A COMPUTER. FORD OFFERED TO REPLACE THE APIM COMPONENT, FOR $1000 (WARRANTY EXPIRED AT TIME OF DIAGNOSTIC TEST). WHAT IS EVEN MORE RIDICULOUS IS THAT THEY WANT TO REPLACE IT WITH THE EXACT SAME MODEL NUMBER, WHICH TELLS ME IN ANOTHER 2YR I MAY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS ISSUE STARTED UP WHILE I WAS IN WARRANTY (~30K MI), BUT SEEMINGLY WENT AWAY UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN THE SYSTEM HAS BECOME PRACTICALLY UNUSABLE. FORD (CORPORATE) ALSO CANNOT PROVIDE ANY RATIONALE AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, PER THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE REP.

I BOUGHT MY FORD MUSTANG ON JUNE 2018. WHEN THE MILES HIT 30,000, THE ENGINE SHAKES EVERY TIME MY VEHICLE STARTS, AND MY WHOLE CAR SHAKES NOTICEABLY WHEN IDLING. THE EXHAUST GAS FLOW FROM THE CAR HAS OBVIOUS INTERMITTENT, MEANWHILE, THE EXHAUST PIPE SHAKES A LOT, AND YOU CAN CLEARLY HEAR THE "BURST" SOUND OR THUMP. IN ADDITION, MY WHOLE CAR HAS OBVIOUS JITTERS AT LOW SPEEDS OF MORE THAN 2,000, AND THE ACCELERATION IS WEAK. WHEN THE SPEED IS HIGH YOU CAN FEEL A LITTLE LESS JITTERY. IT IS NOT JITTERY UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS OF THE ENGINE. WHEN MY AUTO IS ON D OR R, IT DOESN'T MOVE AFTER I RELEASE THE BRAKE. PLUS, THE VARIABLE BOX OCCASIONALLY MAKES A STRANGE NOISE AND VEHICLE COOLANT DOES NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHAT SCARES ME THE MOST IS THAT ONE TIME I WAS DRIVING ON L-595 HIGH WAY, MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AUTOMATICALLY, I TRIED TO RESTART IT BUT FAILED, I WAS PANIC, I HAD TO WAIT FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES ON THE HIGH SPEED ROAD TO TRY TO RESTART THE CAR AGAIN. LUCKILY I PULLED MY CAR IN THE EMERGENCY LANE, I CAN'T IMAGE IF IT WASN'T. AFTER ALL THOSE, I WENT TO MY DEALER AT PLANTATION FL, THEY CAN FIX FOR ME SINCE MY CAR IS STILL UNDER COVERAGE BUT I DON'T WANT GET IT REPAIRED. I DEEPLY DOUBT WHETHER THE REPAIR WOULD COMPLETELY FIX THOSE ISSUES. PLEASE HELP AND ADVICE IF I CAN GET MY CAR RECALLED? I WAS LOOKING FOR A CAR THAT I ALWAYS WANTED BUT NOT HANGING BY A THREAD.

Summary

INTERMITTENTLY, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WILL BE STUCK TO THE FLOOR AFTER PRESSING IT TO SWITCH GEARS. IT HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS GOING FROM NEUTRAL TO 1ST GEAR AND FROM 1ST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS THE CAR STALLED AND I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE AND SOMEONE ALMOST HIT ME. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED TO ME 2 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH BECAUSE I FOUND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. THE CLUTCH RETURN LINE IS AT FAULT BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE VERY SHORT. BECAUSE OF IT BEING SHORT, IT HAS A LOT OF TENSION ON IT. BECAUSE OF THE CAR HAVING A FLAT PLANE CRANK, I BELIEVE THE EXCESSIVE VIBRATIONS THAT THE ENGINE CREATES MIGHT MAKE THIS LINE BACK OFF OVER TIME. MY CAR ONLY HAD 5,000 MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING. THE LINE IS AN INTERFERENCE FIT ON THE FLUID RESERVOIR AND ITS CAUSE THE LINE TO SLOWLY LEAK EVERY TIME YOU TOUCH THE LINE BECAUSE THE SEAL ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH. TO TEMPERATELY REMEDY THIS ISSUE, I HAVE JUST BEEN PUSHING THE LINE BACK ON. THIS ISN'T A GOOD FIX AND FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THESE CARS BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY AT SPEED. THE PICTURE ATTACHED IS A PICTURE OF THE LINE THAT IS IN QUESTION. IN THE PICTURE, THE LINE WAS FITTED CORRECTLY ON THE FLUID RESERVOIR. THIS IS JUST TO SHOW THE FAULTY LINE IN QUESTION. I HOPE FORD CAN RECALL THESE CARS ASAP BECAUSE I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT REALLY.

AT 60MPH ON THE FREEWAY, MY 2018 MUSTANG GT WITH 2,000 MILES ON IT BLEW THE ENGINE. MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF SMOKE WERE POURING OUT THE EXHAUST PIPES AND FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE VEHICLE WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND SOUNDER LIKE A TIN CAN FULL OF NUTS AND BOLTS. GOT THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER BUT MY WIFE AND I WERE SCARED TO DEATH AS CARS WERE WHIZZING BY JUST INCHES AWAY. ACCORDING TO ONLINE CHAT ROOMS A NUMBER OF THESE ENGINES ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR FAILURES. A BAD BATCH WAS PRODUCED AND FORD SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THEM. I ASKED FORD TO REPLACE THE CAR WITH A FACTORY INTACT VEHICLE AND THEY DENIED THE REQUEST. THEY SAY ALL THAT IS REQUIRED OF THEM IS TO FIX THE ISSUE. I BOUGHT THE CAR AS A COLLECTORS ITEM AND THIS TAKES AWAY ALL VALUE AS A COLLECTORS CAR. I OFFERED TO SPLIT THE COST OF GETTING A NEW ONE AND THEY SAID NO. I HAVE SUFFERED MONETARY DAMAGE ON THE VALUE. IT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION HAVING THESE ENGINES BLOW UP. I FEEL FORTUNATE TO HAVE MADE IT THROUGH THE ORDEAL ON THE FREEWAY AND ITS AFTERMATH. THE BACK WHEELS COULD EASILY HAVE LOCKED UP AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. *JS

THE SELLER WAS ASKED ABOUT WHERE HE ANSWERED THAT THEY DO NOT ALREADY BRING THAT ACCESSORY BECAUSE I HAVE FREE ASSISTANCE ON THE ROAD. BEFORE THIS ANSWER I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS DETERMINATION OF THE MANUFACTURER "FORD COMPANY" IS IN LAW SINCE I UNDERSTAND THAT THE LACK OF SUCH ACCESSORIES EXPOSED THE VEHICLE'S OWNER TO A HAZARD ON THE ROAD AS IT CAN NOT RESOLVE SOME PERCENT QUICKLY AND DEPEND ON A SERVICE THAT I CAN NOT OBTAIN UNLESS I HAVE A TELEPHONE AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT AND THAT WORKS IN THE AREA WHERE I CAN NOT ACCEPT THAT SITUATION WHICH I THINK IS DANGEROUS TO THE DRIVER.

I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN TWICE, ONCE MY DAUGHTER WAS WITH ME ON A TWO LANE ROAD, GOING FROM SECOND TO THIRD WHILE PASSING, THE CAR WILL NOT ALLOW IT. PEOPLE HAVE NOTED THIS MANY PLACES WHILE RUNNING OUT SECOND GEAR AND SHIFTING INTO THIRD IN MULTI SITUATIONS. THIS IS A HAZARD AND IT IS KNOWN DUE TO THE SHIFTER NOT BEING DIRECT AND USING A REMOTE LINKAGE. AN AFTERMARKET BRACKET AND SHIFTER WILL FIX THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE SHOULD OPERATE SAFELY WITHOUT PURCHASING AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT. SIMPLE LOOK UP MISSED SHIFTS WITH MT-82 MUSTANG TRANSMISSION. YOU WILL SEE MANY WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND AFTERMARKET PARTS TO FIX THIS SAFETY HAZARD.

PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2018 FORD MUSTANG ECOBOOST PREMIUM 10-SPEED WITH PERFORMANCE PACKAGE JULY 21, 2018 WITH 9 MILES. TOOK CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP NOVEMBER 2018 AT 2,600 MILES WITH A POPPING FEELING AND SOUND AS WELL AS AN UNSAFE LOOSE FEELING IN THE REAR END. THIS HAPPENED ANY TIME DRIVING OVER UNEVEN SURFACES, TURNING CURVES AND ACCELERATING. THEY REPLACED THE SHOCK ABSORBER AFTER THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP 11 DAYS. IN JANUARY 2019 I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH 3,893 MILES. THE CAR WAS STILL MAKING A GRINDING, POPPING SOUND IN THE REAR END AS WELL AS THE FRONT END. THE CAR ALSO STILL FELT LOOSE AS IF WAS GOING TO LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING. THE POPPING, GRINDING HAPPENED WHEN PULLING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY OR PARKING SPACE AS WELL AS SHARP TURNING OF THE WHEELS. THE LOOSE FEELING WAS GOING AROUND CURVES, LEFT OR RIGHT TURNING FROM A STOP LIGHT AS WELL AS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE CAR ALSO FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FLUID IN THE REAR END AND AFTER 8 DAYS THEY SAID THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT HAS SINCE BEEN 8 MORE DAYS IN THE SHOP WITH NO WORD. I FEEL THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AS IT IS SUCH A NEW CAR, HAS BEEN BABIED FROM THE FIRST DAY PURCHASED. THE FACT THAT IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE ALMOST 30 DAYS OF ITS LIFE, UNDER 4,000 MILES AND HAVING THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED SHOWS THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS CAR. ALL THIS BEING REPORTED TO CARFAX HAS DRASTICALLY REDUCED THE VALUE OF MY CAR SINCE IT DOES NOT REPORT IT AS FACTORY DEFECT BUT RATHER POSSIBLE ABUSE. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS JUST MY CAR OR A SAFETY ISSUE FROM THE FACTORY. I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER IF IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR THE CAR TO LOCK UP ON THE HIGHWAY AND HE CONFIRMED IT WAS DEFINITELY A POSSIBILITY. AT THIS POINT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR NOT KNOWING WHAT ELSE COULD GO WRONG WITH IT.

SECONDS AFTER THE POLICE OFFICER REMOVED ME FROM THE CAR, THE CAR EXPLODED. I BELIEVE THAT I WAS SOLD A DEFECTIVE CAR THAT LEAKED POISENOUS GASES WHICH CAUSED ME TO PASS OUT AND CRASH I TO A TREE.

Summary

2018 MUSTANG GT WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. ENGINE STALLS WHEN SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL (MANUAL TRANS) AT HIGHER ENGINE SPEEDS. FOR EXAMPLE, COMING UP TO A RED LIGHT (WAS TRAVELING APPROX 50MPH) OR WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY (WAS TRAVELING 65MPH AND THEN WAS TURNING AROUND AN OFF-RAMP). HAS OCCURED AT ANY DRIVING SPEED (IF REVVING ENGINE AT FULL STOP, OR WHILE TRAVELING). STALLING DOES NOT OCCUR IF THE TRANSMISSION REMAINS ENGAGED WHILE SLOWING DOWN. IF I SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WHEN THE ENGINE IS NEAR IT'S NORMAL IDLE SPEED (500 RPM AFTER WARM-UP), IT WILL NOT STALL. THE PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS WHEN SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL ABOVE ~2,000 RPM, AND ONLY AFTER THE ENGINE IS WARMED UP. THE PROBLEM WAS PRESENT FROM THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS BRAND NEW. AT 1500 MILES I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY REPRODUCE THE ISSUE TOGETHER WITH THE SERVICE ADVISOR. IN SOME INSTANCES, THE ENGINE SPEED WILL DROP BELOW IDLE SPEED AND THEN WILL RECOVER AND NOT STALL. I MADE A RECORDING OF THE CAN BUS TO TRY TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE ON MY OWN, WHICH IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. IT SEEMS THAT THE ENGINE CONTROLLER IS REQUESTING MORE TORQUE FROM THE ENGINE WHEN THE SPEED DROPS, BUT THE THROTTLE WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE REQUEST AND THE ENGINE WILL STALL. NO DTCS OR WARNING LIGHTS WERE GIVEN TO INDICATE THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE. NO MODIFICATIONS WERE MADE TO THE CAR, AND IS IN COMPLETELY 'STOCK' CONDITION.

I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY CAUSE THE CAR BEHIND ME TO REAR END ME SINCE THE CARS WEREN'T NEAR ME AND THERE WAS NO REASON TO BRAKE. ON 3/15/18 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF CROSSROADS FORD IN WAKE FOREST, NC (REF. INVOICE NO.
