2012 Ford Mustang C RWD

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Mustang. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed however, the vehicle failed to exceed 50 MPH while the RPM decreased to 0. The check engine warning light and several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that either the input shaft speed sensor or the output shaft speed sensor needed to be replaced. The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that his vehicle could not be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V248000 (Power Train) because the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 153,000.

car stopped accelerating twice on my mustang 7/23/21.first time on the way to work in traffic and then again when I was going to lunch around 11:30.

Granddaughter driving to work this morning when car lost throttle response.was on the highway in traffic, had to maneuver to the side of the road and turn car off, then wait awhile and restart.made it to work without any more occurrences yet.car not scanned for codes yet.yes the wrench came on but went off after restart.

IAS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND LET OFF THE GAS, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED SUDDENLY TO A LOWER GEAR CAUSING THE ENGINE TO REV UP TO 4000 RPM.

SAME AS EVERYONE I KNOW HIGH REV LOCKOUT, CAN'T SHIFT PAST 7KRPMS CLUTCH PEDAL STICKS TO THE FLOOR. GEARS ARE ROUGH TO GET INTO NORMAL. WILL HEAR LOUD CLUNKING WHEN CHANGING GEARS SOMETIMES. CAR HAS 35K MILES I BOUGHT IT WITH 17K MILES AND THE ISSUE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED THIS COULD CAUSE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND ACCIDENTS IF IT FAILS ON HIGHWAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE GEAR SHIFTER SLIPPED INTO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WORKED AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT CALLED GOSCH FORD TEMECULA (26895 YNEZ RD, TEMECULA, CA 92591, (951) 699-1302) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO PRODUCE POWER AND THE FIRST GEAR HAD CEASED. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE WAS SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

I WAS DRIVING AND PULLED OVER BECAUSE MY BACK WAS BEING BURNED. MY DRIVER'S SEAT CAUGHT FIRE DUE TO HEATED SEATS MALFUNCTION. FORTUNATELY SMOTHERING THE FIRE DIDN'T REQUIRE HELP FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. I CALLED MARCOTTE FORD. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $85.00 JUST TO LOOK AT IT. I CALLED THE FORD CORPORATION. FORD REFUSES TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY. THE LEAST THEY COULD DO, IS DISABLE THE BUTTON SO THERE ISN'T RISK OF STARTING ANOTHER FIRE.*DT CONSUMER STATED SEAT COILS SHORT CIRCUITED AND THE DAMAGE IS INSIDE AND OUT. CONSUMER PAID OVER $300.00 FOR AFTER MARKET SOLUTION.*JB

THE PAINT ON THE HOOD STARTING AT THE SEAM ON THE UNDERSIDE STARTED BUBBLING LIKE IT WAS RUSTING UNDERNEATH AND HAS SPREAD UP & AROUND ON THE TOP OF THE HOOD. THE PAINT IS NOW STARTING TO CRACK AND FALL OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP COLLISION CENTER AND TO AN INDEPENDENT COLLISION CENTER AND BOTH ADVISED THE HOOD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND PAINTED. BOTH ADVISED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND APPEARS TO BE SOME TYPE OF CONTAMINATION THAT OCCURS WHEN THE SEAM IS SEALED. THE QUOTES FOR THIS REPAIR ARE FOR $3400 & $3300. WHILE A 2012, OUR MUSTANG HAS BEEN KEPT UNDER A COVER AND ONLY HAS 24,000 MILES ON IT.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SHIFTS DOWN INTO FIRST GEAR ON ITS OWN WHILE THE DASH GOES BLANK AND THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING. IT WILL ALSO SHOW A WRENCH LIGHT AT TIMES.

CAR SHAKES WHEN COASTING BETWEEN. 2K RPMS AND 3K RPMS CAR STARTS TO HESITATE AND ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS STEP OPN CLUTCH AND SHIFT TO ANOTHER GEAR OR STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL AND AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS IT WILL BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AND SHAKE MORE AGGRESSIVELY BEFORE RETURNING TO NORMAL OPERATION WITHOUT SHAKING WHICH WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF I WERE TO TRY TO MATCH SPEED WHILE ENTERING A FREE WAY OR AVOIDING A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT.

2012 FORD MUSTANG. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED HE CONTINUOUSLY RECEIVED AIRBAG RECALL NOTICES. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONSUMER TO DISREGARD THE NOTICES, AS THE RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE THIS VEHICLE. *JS

I WENT TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC IN MY CAR AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG I PAID FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY DID THE RECALL ON MY CAR THEN TIME PASSED AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HASN'T GONE AWAY EVER SINCE ALSO I HAD MY ELECTRICAL POWER RACK AND STEERING CHANGED MONTHS LATER FROM THE PREVIOUS VISIT! AND MY STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS ARE ON I LITERALLY HAVE THE AIR BAG ,STABILITY CONTROL ,AND ENGINE LIGHT ON ! I DON'T GET IT I DO OIL CHANGE ON TIME I CHANGE MY BRAKES I KEEP MY CAR WELL MAINTAINED AND KEEPS GETTING WORSER ! I ALMOST HAD A ACCIDENT LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND SPUN OUT ON THE HIGHWAY THANK GOD I DID NOT CRASH OR CAUSED DAMAGES TO THE CAR IT WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD I COULD OF DIED OR BEEN HURT !

THE GETRAG MT-82 MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN MY MUSTANG HAS HAD A HISTORY OF SHIFTS THAT TAKE EXTRA EFFORT, CLUNKY SHIFT ENGAGEMENT, AND A HIGH PITCHED WHINING NOISE FROM THE DRIVETRAIN UNDER THROTTLE APPLICATION, SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED 5 YEARS AGO. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT AT A FORD DEALER, BUT THEY SAY NOTING IS WRONG. THE WHINE IS PRESENT EVERY TIME I DRIVE, THE OTHER ISSUES ARE INTERMITTENT. IN THE MOST ODD INCIDENT THAT I HAD IN THE VEHICLE, I WAS IN 2ND GEAR UNDER THROTTLE AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE WILDLY BACK AND FORTH, WITH A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY ON THE DATE, A FEW YEARS AGO FOR SURE. I HAVE TRIED TO REPLICATE THE EFFECT, AND IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW OTHER TIMES IN A LESS DRAMATIC MANNER, BUT NEVER QUITE LIKE THAT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, AND FEEL IT IS NOT VERY SAFE. I KNOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. THANK YOU FOR THE INVESTIGATION.

AIR BAG RECALL AND IAM HAVING A CODE FOR ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY CONTROL ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM WHAT I HEARD BUT MY LOCAL FORD DEALER SAID IT WASNT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED TO APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE WRENCH ICON ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KOONS FORD (3111 AUTOMOBILE BLVD, SILVER SPRING, MD 20904) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE IGNITION SWITCH MOVES AND WHOLE CAR LOSES POWER AND STALLS

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR, IT SOMETIMES SLOWS DOWN INSTEAD OF SPEEDING UP.

I WAS RECENTLY INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

'TAKATA RECALL'

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT DURING RUSH HOUR ON A BUSY CITY STREET. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND BEFORE I MADE IT 10 FEET THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES. I HIT HIM FROM BEHIND, IT WAS A VERY MINOR IMPACT BUT MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND EXPLODED/RUPTURED OVER MY LAP. IT SHATTERED MY IPHONE AND BURNED MY LEFT LEG ABOUT 6 INCHES ABOVE MY KNEE. UPON INSPECTION OF THE FRONT END OF MY CAR I SAW VIRTUALLY NO VISIBLE DAMAGE, ONLY A 2CM PAINT CHIP AND A VERY SLIGHTLY BENT LICENSE PLATE. MY CAR DRIVES PERFECTLY, THERE ARE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS EXCEPT FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT I AM DEALING WITH A FAULTY DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG. I ALSO WANT TO ADD THAT I ALREADY HAD MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO.

FYI I CAN NOT INCLUDE THE TOP/ROOF DUE TO IT WONT ALLOW ME TO INPUT THE CHECK MARK) I BAUGHT THIS MUSTANG IN JUNE 2012,USED FROM FORD HERE IN SIOUX FALLS SD, SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE ASKED ABOUT THE TOP ABOUT THE CLUNKING AND IF THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME IF ANY RECALLS. THEY ONLY SENT ONE FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG , UNTIL THIS WEEK WHEN I RECEIVED A SECOND NOTICE FOR THE TAKATA AIR BAGS FROM THE DAY I TOOK HER OFF THE LOT. I WANTED TO KNOW WHY MY FRONT END SUSPENSION IS MAKING A CLUNKING SOUND IN FRONT AND IT'S BEEN THERE SINCE THE FIRST DAY, I EVEN HAD HER LOOKED AT TO MAKE SURE SHE WASN'T DAMAGED, WITHIN MINUTES THEY CAME BACK AND SAID SHE'S FINE NO PROBLEMS AND WHY MY TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT TO HIGHER GEARS FROM 1ST THRU OVERDRIVE, SHE BOGS DOWN LIKE THERE ISNT ANY FUEL GETTING TO HER ENGINE AND SHE DOESN'T SHIFT THROUGH THE GEARS PROPERLY, IF I HAD RECIEVED THE RECALLS IT WOULD OF BEEN IN IMMEDIATELY. MY TOP LEAKS WATER WHEN WASHED SO IT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE ON THE INSIDE ESPECIALLY THE DOOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, YET FORD REFUSED TO HAVE THE TOP REDONE SINCE THEY FEEL IT'S JUST NORMAL WEAR YET ITS HAPPENED SINCE THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO WASH HER. I'M STARTING TO THINK THINK FORD HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF ME IN THIS CASE AS I STILL CAN NOT GET ANY UPDATED INFORMATION ON MY CAR AND IF I CAN EITHER GET THE WORK DONE OR THE VEHICLE REPLACED, MIND YOU I STILL OWE ON HER AND TO BE HONEST I DO NOT WANT A TRADE IN , I'D RATHER FORD FIX THESE ISSUES AND WRITE OFF THE REMAINING DEBT DUE TO NEGLIGENCE FOR NOT ADVISING ME OF THESE RECALLS IN A TIMELY MANNER AND FOR BIT FIXING THE ISSUES WHEN THE RECALLS CAME OUT . IT'S QUITE FRUSTRATING TO KNOW I'VE PAID OVER 20000 FOR A CAR THAT THEY ARE WILLFULLY NEGLECTING TO FIX AND YET I'M TO BE LIABLE FOR THE DEBT NO MATTER THE POSSIBLITY THAT THEY ARE NEGLIGENT AND DISMISSIVE OF MY CLAIMS.

AT APPROXIMATELY 57,000 MILES THE LEFT (DRIVERS) POWER SEAT SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. IT WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACK BUT IS LOCKED IN IT'S CURRENT POSITION. CONVINCED THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE, I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR THE SERVICE WORK. THEY ADVISED SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY THAT THIS REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THE MOTOR THAT HAS GO BAD CAN ONLY BE OBTAINED BY BUYING THE ENTIRE SEAT ASSEMBLY AT CLOSE TO $1000 WHICH I CAN'T AFFORD.

I WAS DRIVING A COUNTY BACK ROAD WITH NOBODY IN FRONT OR BEHIND ME. THE VEHICLE IS AN AUTOMATIC AND IT WAS IN OVERDRIVE AS MY SPEED WAS APPROX. 60 MPH. WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE SHIFTER, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR LOCKING THE REAR WHEELS UNTIL MY SPEED WAS REDUCED AND THEY BEGAN TO ROLL AGAIN. I NEVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BUT IT SCARED ME TO DEATH! THERE WAS LIGHT UP WRENCH SYMBOL ERROR WARNING. THE DASH TURNED RED AND ALL SPEED, FUEL LEVEL AND MILEAGE WAS BLANK. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND MADE SURE IT WAS ENGAGED. I PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AND SHUT THE IGNITION OFF. CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH WAS FINE. MY MUSTANG WAS MADE IN JANUARY 2012 AT THE FLAT ROCK ASSEMBLY PLANT. AS I BEGAN MY RESEARCH, I FOUND THE FORD RECALL 16S19. WHICH DESCRIBED EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED IN MY SITUATION. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP CALLED FORD FOR APPROVAL, THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT SHOWING IT AS AN EXPOSED VEHICLE. IT MANUFACTURE DATE, ASSEMBLY PLANT, TRANSMISSION TYPE ALL MATCH BUT SOMEHOW MY VIN WAS NOT SHOWING. I PAID $950 OUT OF MY OWN POCKET FOR THE EXACT REPAIR THIS RECALL CALLED FOR. WHICH CORRECTED THE ISSUE. HOW IN THE HECK IS MY CAR NOT COVERED WHEN I KNOW IT HAD THE SAME TRANSMISSION MOLDED COVER ISSUE... PLEASE HELP ME. I CAN PROVIDE MY REPAIR RECORDS TO SHOW IT WAS EXACTLY THE REPAIR PROCEDURE THE RECALL RECOMMENDED.

COMPLETE EPAS FAILURE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR AND DECELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. FOWLER FORD (LOCATED AT 3400 S SHERIDAN RD, TULSA, OK 74145, (918) 346-6500) WAS CONTACTED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

MY MUSTANG HAS BEEN DOING THIS MORE FREQUENTLY NOW, WHERE I'M DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT TO LOW GEAR FROM HIGH GEAR. THIS AFTERNOON IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND LIFE THREATENING. I WENT ON GOOGLE, TO LOOK UP IF OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUES AND I CAME ACROSS A LOT OF MUSTANGS OF THIS YEAR HAVE THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. MATTER OF FACT, FORD IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN PUT OUT TO FIX THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. A LOT OF LIVES ARE AT DANGER AND ACCIDENTS TO OCCUR DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL I TOOK MY FORD MUSTANG TO CAPITAL FORD, 4222 OLEANDER DR, WILMINGTON, NC, 28403 ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO FOR SERVICE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE AIR BAGS FOR PASSENGER SIDE RECALL AND WOULD ORDER ONE AND CALL TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WHEN IT CAME IT. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER AGAIN YESTERDAY ABOUT THE AIRBAG AND SPOKE WITH ANOTHER PERSON, A FEMALE IN THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I ASKED ABOUT SCHEDULING THE AIR BAG REPLACEMENT AND SHE LOOKED UP MY RECORD OF SERVIE AT THEIR DEALERSHIP. ASTONISHINGLY, THE AIRBAG HAD NEVER BEEN ORDERED. THE ORIGINAL SERVICE ADVISOR CLEARLY COULD CARE A LESS IF THE BAG BLEW UP SPEWING SHRAPNEL IN MY PASSENGERS FACES, HOW GROSSLY NEGLIGENT. THE WOMAN SAID THEY WERE OUT OT AIRBAGS AND WOULD HAVE TO ORDER ONE AND SOMEONE FROM THE DEPARTMENT WOULD CALL ME BACK ABOUT IT AND ANOTHER UNRELATED ISSUE. INCREDIBLY, NO ONE HAS CALLED ME BACK. IT IS CLEAR THIS DEALERSHIP IS ONLY INTERESTED IN HIGH DOLLAR REPAIRS TAKING UP APPOINTMENT TIMES AND COULD CARE A LESS ABOUT THE EXPLODING AIR BAG DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THEY SOLD BECAUSE THEY CAN'T CHARGE FOR IT. I THINK THIS NEGLIGENCE AND CONTINUOUS KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD IS POLICY. THE DEALER HAS A MONOPOLY AND IS THE ONLY FORD DEALERSHIP IN THE CITY SO THEY CAN USE THAT ADVANTAGE TO BULLY CUSTOMERS AND REFUSE TO REPAIR DEADLY DEFECTS. I THINK AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS IS WARRANTED TO SEE JUST HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE BEING GIVEN THE "OH WE'LL HAVE TO ORDER IT AND CALL YOU BACK TO SCHEDULE IT" LIE. THIS IS CLEARLY IMMORAL AND REFLECTIVE OF THE OWNER'S GREED AND INDECENCY. SINCE THE ORIGINAL SERVICE ADVISOR FAILED TO ORDER MY REPLACEMENT AIRBAG MORE TYPES OF CARS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE RECALL. IT IS PLAINLY EVIDENT THAT THE OMISSION BY THIS COMPANY IS AN UNFAIR AND DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICE SERIOUSLY DETRIMENTAL TO THE CONSUMER ACTING REASONABLY UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

I HAD THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED BUT THEY DID NOT DO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AT THE SAME TIME SO NOW ITS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE TO GO BACK INTO THE DEALER FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF WAITING. THEY SAID THEY WOULD COME TO MY HOME (AS RECALL NOTICE NUMBER THREE AND FOUR SPELLED OUT) TO PERFORM THIS SERVICE BUT THEY DID NOT SHOW UP AS SET UP IN ADVANCE. THE DEALER IS GOLDEN CIRCLE FORD IN JACKSON TN (731-554-7142) AND THE SERVICE REP IS MELINDA. SINCE THE DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT PERFORMING THIS RECALL I GUESS LIKE MILLIONS OF OTHER OWNERS I WILL NOT TRY TO GET THIS DONE. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT TAKING THIS RECALL SERIOUSLY AND FORD IS NOT PUSHING THEM TO PERFORM THIS SERVICE IN A TIMELY MANNER. I THINK YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO START PUT GROWING FINES IN PLACE TO GET THEIR ATTENTION.

IN 2012 OR 2013 I HAD AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE MUSTANG RAN INTO THE BACK OF SEMI TRUCK. UNATTENDED ACCELERATION HAPPENED TWICE IN THE SAME DAY AND THE SECOND TIME I COULD NOT GET IT TO BREAK FREE AND STOP UNTIL THE LAST SECOND BUT IT WAS TOO LATE IT HIT THE SEMI TRUCK TRAILER IN FRONT OF ME. THIS WAS INSPITE OF ME HAVING BOTH FEET PUSHING STRONGLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WE HAD STARTED OFF SLOWLY FROM A RED LIGHT AND THEN THE CAR DOWNSHIFTED AND TOOK OFF. SOUTHWEST FORD IN WEATHERFORD, TX HAD CALLED THE FORD ENGINEER TO COME LOOK AT IT. IT TOOK A MONTH FOR HIM TO COME. HE LOOKED AT IT IN ITS BANGED UP SHAPE AND DECLARED THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK SOMETHING HAD CHANGED. IT SEEMED LIKE THE SOFTWARE HAD BEEN CHANGED BECAUSE IT NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM AGAIN AND WHENEVER THE BRAKE WAS TOUCHED IT WOULD KILL ANY ACCELERATION IMMEDIATELY. ALSO I LOST ABOUT 3 MILES PER GALLON TILL THIS DAY. THE ENGINEER BLAMED ME WHEN HE OBVIOUSLY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. ALSO THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER THE ENGINEERS VISIT FORD WAS HIT WITH A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR JUST THIS REPORTED UNATTENDED ACCELERATION ACROSS MOST OF ITS MODELS. NOT MY FAULT! *TR

THE PASSENGER SEAT POSITION SENSOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, WHEN SOMEBODY IS SEATED THE AIRBAG TURNING OFF, WHEN NO ONE IS SEATED THE AIRBAG IS ON, THIS IS A BIG SECURITY ISSUE I READ IN FORUMS LOT OF PEOPLE HAS A SAME PROBLEM

CURRIE MOTORS FORD OF FRANKFORT (9423 W LINCOLN HWY, FRANKFORT, IL 60423, (866) 697-0924) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY ORDERED THE PART; HOWEVER, THE PART HAD NOT BEEN ORDERED. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TWICE ONLINE, BUT HAD NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE TO VERIFY THAT THE PART WAS AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED TO ADDRESS PART AVAILABILITY. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHILE ACCELERATING ON A PUBLIC HIGHWAY THE THROTTLE WENT STRAIGHT TO REDLINE AND WOULD NOT DECELERATE UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE MOTOR WAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED BY SETTING THE KEY BACK TO RUN AND PLACING THE CLUTCH BACK IN 2ND GEAR WHILE IN MOTION. THE CAR COULD HAVE EASILY INJURED MOTORIST'S HAD IT NOT BEEN SHUT DOWN IN PROPERLY.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V024000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT CALLED SUNRISE FORD OF FONTANA AT 888-629-1239 (LOCATED AT 16005 VALLEY BLVD, FONTANA, CA 92335) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL - I CONTINUE TO RECEIVE RECALL NOTICES FROM FORD STATING THAT THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND THAT MY LIFE IS IN DANGER. HOWEVER, WHEN I CALL THE FORD DEALERSHIPS THEY ONLY TAKE MY NAME AND STATE THAT THEY WILL CALL. I HAVE BEEN ON THE LIST FOR MONTHS AND AM WORRIED ABOUT MY PERSONAL SAFETY.

"TAKATA RECALL" PURCHASED VEHICLE THEN LEARNED AFTER 2 YEARS OF DEFECT.

WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AT APPROXIMATLY THIRTY M.P.H. STEERING WENT TOTALLY AWAY MID CORNER CAUSING THE CAR TO DRIVE ON CENTER DIVIDER ON A BLIND CORNER FOR TWO SECONDS UNTIL EPAS KICKED BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL BACK INTO MY LANE AND CONTINUE MAKING THE CORNER. THIS SEPOSEDLY AFTER PROGRAM UPDATE AND IN NORMAL STEERING MODE. I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO BLINK AND FORTUNATLY NO CAR WAS COMING THE OTHER DIRECTION.

MY 2012 MUSTANG LOOSE POWER STEERING MAKING CONTROL VERY DIFFICULT. THIS IS COMMON ON MUSTANG INTERNET FORUMS. DEALER SAYS INTERNAL ELECTRONICS FAIL. WHILE MY CAR IS A 2012 IT ONLY HAS 3500 MILES. MINE IS STATIONARY AND THEN AFTER THE CAR COOLS DOWN.

I HAVE BEEN TO MY FORD DEALERSHIP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES TO HAVE THE AIRBAG RECALL TAKEN CARE OF AND EVERY TIME I GO THEY SAY THE PARTS ARE BACK ORDERED. I DON'T BELIEVE FORD ANYMORE AND I DON'T BELIEVE THEY HAVE ANYMORE PARTS TO HANDLE THIS RECALL. I AM TIRED OF WAITING. THIS IS A CRITICAL RECALL THAT COULD KILL A FRONT PASSENGER IN AN ACCIDENT SHOULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY. THEY ARE NOT TAKING THIS RECALL SERIOUS WHEN THEY STILL DON'T HAVE PARTS ALMOST 2 YEARS INTO A RECALL.

I OWN A 2012 FORD MUSTANG AND RECENTLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. IT WAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS OUTLINED IN FORD'S CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 16B23 (HTTPS://FORD.OEMDTC.COM/2670/16B23-ELECTRONIC-THROTTLE-BODY-REPLACEMENT-2011-2012-FORD-LINCOLN/5). I HAVE A 2012 3.7L V6 MUSTANG THAT I BELIEVE SHOULD HAVE FALLEN UNDER THIS PROGRAM. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY MAIL OR EMAIL NOTIFYING ME OF THIS PROGRAM, ALTHOUGH I HAD LIVED AT THE SAME ADDRESS FOR AS LONG AS I HAD OWNED THE CAR AND PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED AN AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE, SO I KNOW FORD HAS MY ADDRESS. I WAS ALSO AT MY DEALER FOR SERVICE APPOINTMENTS (THE SAME DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR) DURING THE PROGRAM TIME PERIOD AND THEY NEVER NOTIFIED ME EITHER. LONG STORY SHORT, I JUST HAD TO PAY A LITTLE OVER $400 TO HAVE MY LOCAL FORD DEALER REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. I ASKED ABOUT THIS PROGRAM AND WAS TOLD BECAUSE IT WAS OUTSIDE OF THE PROGRAM END DATE THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. MY QUESTION IS, WHY DIDN'T FORD CONTACT ME ABOUT THIS PROGRAM IF MY CAR WAS COVERED? IF MY CAR WASN'T COVERED, HOW DID FORD DISTINGUISH BETWEEN WHICH CARS WERE WORTHY OF BEING IN THE PROGRAM AND WHICH WEREN'T? THIS WAS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AS THE CAR RANDOMLY LOST POWER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. ONE TIME I WAS DOING 50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WITH ALOT OF TRAFFIC AROUND ME. LUCKILY THERE WAS AN OPEN MEDIAN I COULD COAST INTO, BUT I MAY NOT HAVE BEEN AS FORTUNATE AS OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. I DO NOT BELIEVE FORD'S CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 16B23 WHICH WAS ONLY IN EFFECT FOR A YEAR WAS ADEQUATE TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY HAZARD. I ALSO DO NOT BELIEVE THAT FORD DID THEIR DUE DILIGENCE TO NOTIFY OWNERS OF THIS PROGRAM AND THE ASSOCIATED SAFETY HAZARD.

TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR INDICATOR IS FAULTY. IT DOES NOT INDICATE THE CORRECT GEAR WHEN DRIVING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE GEAR IS IN REVERSE BUT THE INDICATOR IS SHOWING PARKING. IT CREATES CONFUSION WHETHER YOU ARE IN RIGHT GEAR OR NOT. ESPECIALLY I THOUGHT YOU ARE AT P WHEN YOU ARE IN R.

THEY CALLED ME TWO DAYS BEFORE MY APT AND SAID THEY DID NOT GET PART YET. AS OF TODAY 5/18 THEY STILL SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART (PASSENGER AIRBAG). I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO FROM HERE TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED. HELP

TAKATA RECALL: 17V-024. 03/2017 I RECEIVED RECALL LETTER FROM FORD ABOUT PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL. 02/2018 ALMOST A YEAR LATER, I RECEIVED LETTER FROM FORD THAT REPAIR IS AVAILABLE AND TO SCHEDULE TIME WITH DEALER. MY LOCAL DEALER IS FAIRWAY FORD IN PLACENTIA, CA WHICH IS 10 MINUTES AWAY. SINCE I RECEIVED THE LETTER UNTIL THIS DATE I HAVE CALLED THEM EVERY MONTH TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR. THEY KEEP TELLING ME PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND I SHOULD WAIT FOR THEM TO CALL ME. MEANWHILE I AM FORCED TO DRIVE A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. SOMETHING IS DREADFULLY WRONG WITH THIS RECALL PROCESS.

TAKATA AIRBAG, I AM TRYING TO GET A REPAIR OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER 3 MOS AGO TO HAVE THE PARTS ORDERED BUT THEY SEEM TO BE DRAGGING THEIR FEET. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN DO TO GET THIS REPAIRED I GOT MY LETTER STATING THAT THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE THRU FORD BUT HAVEN'T HAD ANY LUCK. WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE THE CAR SOMEDAY?

AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND APPLICATION OF THE GAS PEDAL, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD FAIL TO ENGAGE FIRST GEAR. THIS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ALSO DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST WHILE DRIVING AT 35MPH. BROUGHT TO FORD AND THEY IDENTIFIED THE LEAD FRAME AND CONNECTOR AS FAULTY PARTS. FORD HAS A RECALL 16S19 THAT COVERS MY MUSTANG'S BUILD DATE AND LOCATION BUT SAID MY VIN WASN'T INCLUDED DESPITE THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AND EXACT SAME PARTS IDENTIFIED BY A FORD TECHNICIAN THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. FORD THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIRS TO A DANGEROUS CONDITION.

TAKATA RECALL: WE CANNOT LOCATE PARTS FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE NOTIFICATION WAS MAILED APPROXIMATELY 6 WEEKS AGO. WHY RECALL THE PARTS IF REPLACEMENTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE? WHAT IS A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT FOR THE PARTS TO ARRIVE AT THE DEALER?

LOST POWER IN MY 2012 V6 MUSTANG. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING LIMP HOME MODE. WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. TURNED ENGINE OFF AND THE IT WAS FINE FOR ABOUT TWO MILES THEN CUT OFF AGAIN. RESTARTED AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. GOING TO TRY AND GET IT TO THE SHOP TOMORROW, BUT THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY PROBLEM IN MY MIND. WAS LUCKY I DIDN'T GET REAR ENDED

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE CALLED FORD ABOUT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MANY TIMES AND HAVE HAD NO REASONABLE REPLY TO THE QUESTION WHEN WILL IT BE DONE I AM CONSTANTLY CONCERNED FOR MY FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SAFETY I THINK FORD WOULD KNOW AT LEAST A TIME FRAME FOR THIS REPAIR BUT I ALWAYS GET WE DON'T KNOW.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING ALMOST TWO YEARS IT SEEMS FOR PARTS TO BECOME AVAILABLE TO REPLACE MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THERE HAS BEEN BARELY ANY NEWS ABOUT THIS SUBJECT AND MANY OF US ARE STARTING TO LOSE HOPE THAT THEY ARE EVEN REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING THESE THINGS REPLACED. I AM UNABLE TO EVEN HAVE MY GIRLFRIEND IN THE CAR ANYMORE BECAUSE SHE FEELS UNSAFE. I'M UNABLE TO SELL THE CAR BECAUSE PEOPLE FEEL UNSAFE. AND I'M UNABLE TO TRADE THE CAR IN BECAUSE THE RECALL IS GIVING THE DEALERSHIPS REASON TO LOW-BALL ME. I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE IT IS VERY HUMID WHICH IS WHAT SUPPOSEDLY CAUSING THESE THINGS TO DETERIORATE, AND YET I'VE GOTTEN NO NEWS FOR MONTHS ABOUT WHEN MY REPLACEMENT WILL BE READY. I NOT ONLY THINK THAT THE AUTOMOTIVE COMPANIES SHOULD START TAKING MORE ACTION IN GETTING THIS WORKED OUT BUT I THINK THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE IN MY SITUATION SHOULD RECEIVE COMPENSATION. WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND IN CARS WITH HAND GRENADES IN THE DASHBOARD?

AIR BAG INFLATOR HAS BEEN ON RECALL FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE

NO AIR BAG REPLACEMENT AVAILABLE FOR PASSENGERS SIDE IN A TIMELY MANNER.

I BOUGHT THIS 2012 MUSTANG FROM CARMAX IN OCTOBER OF 2017 I HAVE REPORTED CARMAX TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCIES DO TO THE FACT THEY HAVE COMMITTED FRAUD AND DECEPTION INSPIRE I GOT IN TOUCH WITH CARMAX EXPLAINED THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS COSMETIC AND MECHANICAL PROBLEMS AND ISSUES THIS FINANCE COMPANY IS IN WITH CARMAX I EXPLAIN TO CARMAX NOTHING THEY DON'T CARE I GOT SOLD A VEHICLE THAT HAS A THIRTY WARRANTY FROM CAR MAX TO FIX IT AND CORRECT WHAT'S ON DOCUMENTATION NOTHING WAS DONE AND I REPORTED TO THEY DIDN'T CARE BECAUSE CARMAX SOLD ME A CAR THAT HAS OVER 10,000 DOLLARS WORTH OF ISSUES AND PROBLEMS WHICH I GOT TOLD BY SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT WORKED FOR CARMAX THAT THESE CARS ARE RECONDITIONED VEHICLES AND I NEED TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY AND TAKE THIS TO COURT THIS IS COVERING UP PROBLEMS AND THIS HAS TO DO WITH CARMAX VEHICLES AND I AM NOT GOING TO PAY ALL THAT MONEY TO FIX THIS CAR WHEN THIS IS DEALER FRAUD AND THE FINANCE COMPANY WHEN I ASK THEM LIKE THEY'RE COVERING UP ISSUES BECAUSE THEY WORK WITH CARMAX ,CARMAX AND EXETER NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED THIS IS ALSO FALSE ADVERTISING THEY HAD A 5 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE THEY ACTUALLY TOLD ME THAT I WILL NOT GET MY MONEY BACK AND WILL NOT HONOR THE THIRTY DAY WARRANTY I WILL NOT MAKE NO PAYMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE PERIOD I TURNED THIS IS OVER TO CHANNEL 5 I WILL FILE FTC COMPLAINT,BBB,THIS IS FRAUD AND DECEPTION NEGLIGENCE,EITHER THEY SEND ME THE TITLE OR CANCEL THIS CONTRACT TO THE FULL EXTENT I WILL SUE CARMAX I HAVE A LAWYER LOOKIN INTO THIS BUT I WANT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO INVESTIGATE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE BEING DONE LIKE THIS I WILL CONSIDER THE TITLE BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE WAS SOLD UNSAFE THEY HAD LET DRIVE HOME I ALMOST GOT INTO A WRECK BRAKES ARE BAD AND ROTORS THE BREAKING SYSTEM,THERE IS ALSO STOP LEAK IN THE MY COOLANT RESERVOIR THAT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE TYING TO COVER UP A PROBLEM THE BRAKES ARE BAD

TAKATA RECALL, MY CAR ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE WITH ZERO REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR RECALL AND CANNOT SELL VEHICLE FOR ANYTHING NEAR WHAT I PAID OR WHAT IT IS WORTH IF PROBLEM WAS FIXED, BEEN ALMOST A YEAR AND STILL NO REMEDY.

RECEIVED A SECOND RECALL ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAGS FOR THE MUSTANG IN MARCH 2017. CALLED THE 800 NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND WE WOULD RECEIVE A LETTER WHEN THEY WERE. HERE WE ARE IN DECEMBER 2017 AND STILL NO LETTER AND NO FIX FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS WERE REPLACED ON 8/5/16.

TAKATA RECALL - FORD DEALER IS UNABLE TO GET REPLACEMENT PARTS.

"TAKATA RECALL" NO REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN PROVIDED NOR AN ANTICIPATED DATE FOR IT TO BE AVAILABLE. I AM NOT ALLOWING ANY PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN MY VEHICLE AND IT HAS BEEN NECESSARY FOR ME TO RENT VEHICLES ON OCCASIONS WHERE I NEED TO TRANSPORT PEOPLE. A REPLACEMENT PART OR INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOVAL OF THE RECALLED PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BY NOW. I HAVE A VEHICLE I CAN'T DRIVE AND I CAN'T SELL. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I NEED SOME ASSISTANCE, PLEASE.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD IN MARCH 2017 STATING MY PASSENGER AIRBAG IS BEING RECALLED. I CALLED THEM IN MAY AND THEY STILL DIDN'T HAVE A REPLACEMENT AVAILABLE. I CALLED THEM TODAY AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THEM AND COULDN'T TELL ME WHEN THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I ASKED FOR A LOANER AND THEY DENIED ME ONE. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT ONLY I CAN RIDE IN AND THEY WON'T GIVE ME A LOANER. THIS AMOUNT OF TIME TO REPLACE MY AIRBAG IS WAY BEYOND REASONABLE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V006000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER (CAROLINE FORD 103 CHURCH PATH, SC 29654, 888-420-5939) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE .THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. IT HAS DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR ON ITS OWN FROM DIFFERENT GEARS, IT HAS STAYED LOCKED IN GEAR ON SEVERAL GEARS AND IT HAS STAYED IN A HIGH GEAR WHILE STOPPED, SO IT IS VERY SLOW LEAVING A LIGHT. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. NO TROUBLE CODES OR LIGHTS (MIL OR WRENCH) HAVE BEEN THROWN OR LIT UP DURING THE INCIDENTS. THE CAR SEEMS TO RIGHT ITSELF AFTER A FEW MINUTES. HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A LONG PERIOD AND IS COLD. TOOK THE CAR TO GLENN FORD IN NICHOLASVILLE, KY AND EXPLAINED WHAT THE VEHICLE WAS DOING AND IF IT WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL THAT THEY PERFORMED (16N02/16S19) ON THE CAR BACK IN FEB 2017. THEY BRUSHED IT OFF AND SAID IT WOULD BE $110 TO LOOK AT THE CAR. WE SAID FINE. THEY HAVE HELD THE CAR FOR 6 DAYS AND SAID THEY DROVE IT AT LEAST 36 MILES AND "NOTHING HAPPENED". THEY SAID THERE ARE NO DTC/FAULT CODES, SO THE CAR IS PERFECTLY FINE. THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT PERFORM THE MOLDED LEADFRAME REPAIR OF THE RECALL BECAUSE THERE ARE NO FAULT CODES. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE COMPLAINING OF THE SITUATION BECAUSE THE INFO ON THE NOTICE SAYS EITHER A FAULT CODE SHOWS UP OR THE CUSTOMER "REPORTS AN INTERMITTENT UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR". WELL, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE REPORTED BEFORE WE EVEN REALIZED ANYTHING ABOUT THE LEADFRAME PART OF THE RECALL. BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD HAVE REFUSED TO FIX THE VEHICLE UNLESS THERE IS A DEFAULT CODE/DTC SHOWING. THEY WANT US TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL A FAULT CODE SHOWS (THUS POSSIBLY ENDANGERING OUR LIVES) AND THEN THEY WILL LOOK AT IT AGAIN. DOESN'T MEAN FIX IT, JUST LOOK AT IT AGAIN FOR ANOTHER $110. THIS IS COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE. FORD WON'T EVEN FIX IT UNDER THEIR OWN RECALL INSTRUCTIONS!!!! AND THE CAR QUALIFIES!

WHEN STARTING MY CAR, THE WRENCH ICON STAYS LIT ON MY DASHBOARD. THE CAR MANUAL STATES THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. THE CAR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN I AM (OR NOT) PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL- SOMETIMES WHEN I LIGHTLY PUSH THE PEDAL, THE ENGINE REVS, OTHER TIMES THE CAR WON'T MOVE AT ALL. THIS HAS PUT ME (AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD) IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION TO BE IN, THAT I CAN'T CONTROL MY CAR. I HAVE READ MANY THINGS ONLINE THAT THERE HAS BEEN THIS ISSUE WITH MANY OTHER FORD/LINCOLN CARS, FROM 2011-2015. WHEN CALLING MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE FREE OF CHARGE, EVEN THOUGH FORD HAD A "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM". I WAS TOLD MY CAR IS NOT IN THOSE THAT HAD THAT ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL. FRONTAL PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THROUGH THE MAIL MARCH 2017. I'VE CONTACTED VISTA FORD OF WOODLAND HILLS CA NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THE FIRST NOTIFICATION & ALSO SPOKE TO THE MGR. OF SERVICE JEFF HARKNESS. JEFF INDICATED HE HAS NO INFORMATION ON WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE WHATSOEVER. NEED TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPAIRED ASAP. IF IT RUPTURES, IT MIGHT KILL OR SEVERALLY INJURE SOMEONE. ALREADY HAD ON AIRBAG REPLACED ON THE DRIVER SIDE, NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE?

TAKATA RECALL - STILL WAITING FOR KEARNY PEARSON FORD TO CONTACT ME FOR REPLACEMENT THE AIRBAG. BOOKED AN APPOINTMENT IN AUGUST 2017 BUT THEY SAID I NEED TO WAIT FOR THEM TO CONTACT ME WHEN THEY HAVE THE PIECES IN STOCK.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT HAVE CONTACTED NUMEROUS FORD DEALERS IN AN ATTEMPT TO HAVE THIS RECALL SATISFIED, WITH NO SATISFACTION.

PASSENGER AIRBAG STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. IT WAS RECALLED SOMETIME AGO, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF A DATE IT WILL BE FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL - IT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT SHRAPNEL CAN KILL ME IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY RATHER THAN THE ACCIDENT! IMMEDIATE ACTION IS NEEDED FOR REPLACEMENT!! I HAVE NOT ONE BUT TWO CARD AFFECTED!

TAKATA RECALL. I AM UNABLE TO GET A REPLACEMENT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - WE HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THE RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR. WE ARE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIR, AND IS WAITING FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO SEND THEM THE PARTS.

RECCALLI FOR TAKATA PASSENGER AIRBAGS SAFETY NOTICE 17SO1/NHTSA RECALL 17S01. NOTIFIED MARCH 2017. HAVE DRIVEN 8000 MILES AND 7 MONTHS. FURTHR DELAY IS INEXCUSABLE.

I HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THE SAFETY OF MY AIRBAGS SINCE MARCH 2017 AND TO THIS DAY IN OCTOBER 2017, THE PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE FOR REPAIRING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. IF I WERE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAGS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS HARM OR DEATH. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, THE PARTS NEED TO BE RELEASED IMMEDIATELY.

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY (60MPH - 65MPH) CAR SUDDENLY STALLS. NO POWER TO ENGINE, NEED TO LIMP TO SIDE OF FREEWAY (VERY DANGEROUS). CAR SITS, THEN YOU CAN RE-START. SOUNDS LIKE ELECTRONIC THOTTLE BODY (ETB) ISSUE THAT YOU ARE WELL AWARE OF. WHY ARE YOU NOT INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE??? FORD (WESTWAY FORD, IRVING, TX) CANNOT DIAGNOSE. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. CARS STALLING ON FREEWAY ARE A HAZARD TO ALL PARTIES. YOU GUYS NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED AND LOCAL DEALER STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS

"TAKATA RECALL", DRIVERS AIRBAG TOOK FOREVER TO BE REPLACED. NEXT WE RECEIVE RECALL FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. CONTACTED SEVERAL FORD DEALERS FOR INFORMATION ON WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. NONE OF THE LOCAL FORD DEALERS HAVE A CLUE WHEN REPLACEMENT IS COMING, YET THEY KEEP BUILDING NEW FORDS EVERYDAY WITH ALL TYPES OF AIRBAGS INSTALLED. WHY CAN'T THERE BE A FIX FOR THE 2012 FORD MUSTANG GT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG? NOW TAKATA HAS FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY. DATES ENTERED ARE NOT EXACT, BUT I DO HAVE DOCUMENTATION REQUESTING RECALL ACTION ON MY VEHICLE. WHERE DO I TURN TO NEXT.

DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN A STRAIGHT LINE UNDER DRY CONDITIONS AT ABOUT A CONSTANT 30 MPH, THE CAR STARTED PULSING THE FRONT CORNER BRAKES. AT THE SAME TIME, THE VEHICLES TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND OFF. I WAS NOT APPLYING THE BRAKES AT THE TIME. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE CAR'S TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM THOUGHT MY TIRES WERE SPINNING, BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. I STOPPED AND INSPECTED MY FRONT WHEEL AND FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THE TIRE OR ITS ALIGNMENT OR FENDER CLEARANCE. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, THE PROBLEM STOPPED. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS THE CAR COULD INADVERTENTLY BRAKE ITSELF IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

SHIFT SOLENOID D : VEH IS PART OF RECALL 16S19 AND RECALL 16N02. THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTING STILL AT WITHOUT WARNING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THIS DEVICE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL, AND FORD IS REFUSING TO COVER THIS DEFECT ALTHOUGH IT IS CLEARLY A PART OF THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD HAD ORDERED THESE TRANSMISSIONS FROM A MANUFACTURER IN CHINA, AND THEY'VE BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE FROM DAY ONE. THIS OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THE MALFUNCTION OCCURS. THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME THIS WAY IN FEBRUARY OF 2013, AND AT THE TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAD TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS AN OPEN ECM ISSUE AND WAS NOTHING TO BE CONCERNED WITH. I TOOK THEM AT THEIR WORD AND AM PAYING THE PRICE FOR IT. I HAVE CHECKED MY CAR FAX, AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION OF THIS AS A PROBLEM. NOW, I AM GETTING A CODE P0769 READ MORE: HTTPS://WWW.ENGINE-CODES.COM/P0769.HTML THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD IS SAYING THEY DO NOT AND ARE NOT GOING TO COVER THIS UNDER THE RECALL NOTIFICATION. AS A FORMER PARAMEDIC, WITH EXPERIENCE WITH COUNTLESS MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS OVER THE YEARS, IT IS MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION THAT THIS IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD TO LIFE, LIMB AND PROPERTY AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ORDERED.

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 70MPH AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT,AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ALL CAME ON THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, THE TIRE SENSOR WENT CRAZY , CAR LOST ALL SPEED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT GOT TO SIDE OF ROAD TURNED CAR OFF RESTARTED IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW MILES THEN EVERYTHING HAPPENED AGAIN. CALLED FORD AND THEY HAD ME TAKE IT TO DEALER FOR CHECK WAS TOLD IT IS THE LEADFRAME IN THE TRANSMISSION AND FORD HAS RECALLED OTHER FORD MUSTANG VEHICLES SAME YEAR AS MINE FOR SAME PROBLEM BUT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ANYONE WHO HAS ONE NEEDS TO BE CHECKED IN ALL THE CARS

TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED RECALL MAR2016. CONTACTED FORD DEALER REGARDING FIX. I ASKED HIM 1. IS THE CAR SAFE TO DRIVE. HIS ANSWER WAS THE NHTSA SAID IT WAS CLEARED TO DRIVE. 2. IS IT OK TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE AFFECTED SEAT. SAME ANSWER AS IN #1. 3. WHEN WILL THE PART BECOME AVAILABLE? NO CLUE. HE ACTUALLY SAID IT COULD BE YEARS SINCE TAKATA WAS BANKRUPT AND THEY WERE LOOKING FOR OTHER MANUFACTURERS TO MAKE THE PART. THE NHTSA WEBSITE STATES RECALLS ARE ISSUED WHEN EQUIPMENT CREATES AN UNREASONABLE SAFETY RISK OR FAILS TO MEET MINIMUM SAFETY STANDARDS. SINCE THE FORD DEALER STATED THAT THE NHTSA CLEARED VEHICLES UNDER THIS RECALL AS 'SAFE TO DRIVE', COULD I GET IT IN WRITING THAT MY VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE? I ALSO LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE THE 50% INCREASE IN PROBABILITY EXISTS DUE TO TEMP AND HUMIDITY. ALSO, COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS SUBJECT TO EXPLODING AND NOT THE DRIVERS SIDE.

AT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ALLOW A GEAR CHANGE FROM FIRST TO SECOND IF THE RPM IS GRATER THAN 6000 RPM. THE CLUTCH PEDDLE RELEASES AT THE FLOOR. AFTER THE ENGINE HAS SLOWED THE CLUTCH RETURNS TO NORMAL AND THE CAR CAN NOW BE SHIFTED INTO SECOND. IT MAY BE CAUSED BY TROUGH OUT BEARING OR SPRING TENSION ON THE CLUTCH ITS SELF. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR 3 MONTHS AGO. THE CAR ONLY HAS 46000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE READ OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME COMMON PROBLEM.

WHEN I CALL THE NATIONAL FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE, I GOT THROUGH THE PHONE TREE AND CHOSE TAKATA AIR BAG WHICH HUNG UP ON ME AFTER 5 MINUTES OF DEAD AIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR FROM AN AUTO MANUFACTURER WITH A RECALL ONGOING.

NOISE IN THE BACK SUSPENSION- DRIVING ON NORMAL PAVEMENT MAKES CONTINUED SOUND. HAVE BEEN TOLD BUSHINGS HAVE GONE BAD. CURRENT MILES 43000 MILES. IS THIS A RECALL?

SINCE I'VE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW I HAVE HAD RANDOM ISSUES WITH THE CAR. FIRST I'VE EXPERIENCED A HUGE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION, IT MAKES A VIBRATING/SHAKING PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING ON ANY STREET ANY SPEED. I HAVE OPERATED MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS BEFORE AND HAVE NEVER RAN ACROSS THIS. NO MATTER WHAT GEAR OR WHAT CONDITION IT CONSISTENTLY DOES THIS. FORD DEALER WAS TO NO HELP AT ALL. AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL START TO UNCONTROLLABLY SWERVE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STARTS BLINKING, THIS ISSUE IS UNKNOWN TO ME WHY THIS HAPPENS AND HAS ALMOST PUT ME IN AN ACCIDENT.

RECALL EXISTS FOR MY MODELS TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME ( I BELIEVE I MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS ) ISSUED IN APRIL 2016, BUT IT IS NOT APPEARING FOR THE VIN OF THE VEHICLE.

YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THE 2012 MUSTANG HAS A DEFECTIVE PART CALLED A THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. FORD IS AWARE IT IS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THEY WERE REPLACING THIS PART FREE OF CHARGE PRIOR TO JANUARY 2015. CURRENTLY IT IS NOT UNDER A SAFETY RECALL BUT IT MOST CERTAINLY SHOULD BE. WHEN YOU DRIVE A CAR WITH THIS DEFECT YOUR CAN AN ACCELERATE, OR DECELERATE, AT ITS OWN WILL. IT DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE COMMANDS THE DRIVER GIVES. IT JUST SUDDENLY SLOWS OR SPEEDS UP AS IT LIKES. IF YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS IT MAY BE HARD TO UNDERSTAND HOW UNSAFE THIS CAN BE. IT IS NOT NAN EXPERIENCE I RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. FORD DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A PROBLEM, BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR AS A RESULT. TRY TOOLING ALONG I-95 AT 65 MILES PER HOUR AND HAVING YOUR CAR SUDDENLY SLOW AND SHUDDER ALMOST TO A STOP...FUN TIMES. THIS DEFECT CREATES AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION THAT 100% UNACCEPTABLE AND YOU REALLY SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEONE, (LIKE ME) GETS KILLED. I AM SURE SOMEONE HAS ALREADY HAD ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY JULY 2015 AND ANOTHER JULY 2016. CONTACTED LOCAL FORD DEALER CONCERNING RECALL 2 MONTHS AGO TO HAVE AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED. AS OF THIS DATE (9/2/2016) HAVE RECEIVED NO WORD REGARDING PART'S ARRIVAL (DEALERSHIP ASSURED ME THEY WOULD CALL WHEN PART ARRIVED). PLEASE NOTE THAT IT HAS BEEN OVER 1 YEAR SINCE RECEIVING 1ST RECALL LETTER AND NEARLY 8 WEEKS AND PENDING THAT PART STILL HAS NOT COME IN.

THE FAN BLOWER MOTOR 2P CONNECTOR IS DAMAGE. MECHANIC INDICATE SIGNS OF MELTING AND BURNING ON THE MAIN HARSHNESS WHICH RELAYS THE FAN, AND AC COMPRESSOR. ALSO INTENSE CHIPPING OF PAINT ON LEFT FRONT QUARTER PANEL.

I GOT A LETTER ON AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL, THIS WAS IN JULY I CAME DOWN AN SPOKE WITH MICHAEL AT THE FORD COMPANY ON SAGE RD. IN MEMPHIS TN. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR HIM TO CAL ME BACK ONCE HE ORDER THE PART #15S21/ NHTSA RECALL 15V-319, IT"S BEEN A MONTH NOW

PAINT IS BUBBLING UNDER HOOD CAUSED BY CORROSION OF THE ALUMINUM. FORD IS AWARE BUT WILL NOT REPAIR UNDER THE 60 MONTH UNLIMITED CORROSION WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO RESTART, BUT IT STALLED MORE THAN THREE TIMES AFTERWARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

ON AUGUST 1, 2016, AT APPROXIMATELY 7:30 P.M., I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON U.S, HIGHWAY 1 (Y,S, HIGHWAY 2 IS A 3-LANE ROAD). SUDDENLY, MY VEHICLE LOST THE POSER TO ACCELERATE. I WAS PANICKED, AS THERE WAS TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND TO MY LEFT SIDE. I COULD DO NOTHING TO STOP THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION. FORTUNATELY, MY FRIEND AS FOLLOWING ME AND WAS IMMEDIATELY AWARE THAT I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM. MY FRIEND IMMEDIATELY PUT ON HIS EMERGENCY FLASHERS; AS I SLOWED, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE AND COAST INTO A FILLING STATION. AT THIS TIME, I NOTICED TWO THINGS; THE CAR RAN ROUGHLY AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AND A WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED ON THE DASH. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO A SAFE LOCATION ON THE FILLING STATION LOT. MY FRIEND SEARCHED FOR THE SYMBOL IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL WHICH INDICATED THERE WAS A THROTTLE CONTROL PROBLEM AND I SHOULD CONTACT MY DEALER IMMEDIATELY. AT THIS TIME, I CALLED AAA AND WAS ADVISED THAT A TOW TRUCK WOULD BE THERE IN APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR AND A HALF. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED, I COMPLETED THE PAPERWORK AND THE CAR WAS TAKE TO PARADISE FORD WHERE I PURCHASED IT IN 2012. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, FORD CALLED ME AND DIAGNOSED IT AS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND REPLACED IT. SOME RESEARCH INDICATED THAT A TSB HAD BEEN ISSUED TO FORD DEALERS ABOUT THE MALFUNCTION OF THIS ITEM. BECAUSE IN MY CASE, THIS WAS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, I FEEL FORD SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED ME AND GIVEN ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. AS A RESULT OF THIS, I WAS CHARGED $621 FOR THE REPAIR. TO REITERATE, THE MAIN ISSUE HERE IS THAT IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION DUE TO, WHAT I PERCEIVE, AS THE FORD DEALER'S NEGLIGENCE.

VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. VEHICLE ALSO MADE CLUNKING SOUNDS WHILE TURNING. HAD TO REPLACE EPAS STEERING ASSEMBLY AT MY OWN COST $1656. UNSAFE AND UNPROVEN DESIGN. ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS FOR EPAS ARE MOUNTED LOW SO ROAD GRIME/RAIN PENETRATE INTO THE CONNECTOR CAUSING MALFUNCTION.

AFTER WAITING AT A LIGHT IN THE LEFT TURN LANE, I STARTED ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, SLOWLY INTO MY LEFT TURN. AT ALMOST COMPLETION OF THE TURN, MY TACHOMETER WENT FROM 3000 RPMS TO OVER 6000 RPMS. THE CAR HAD A SUDDEN JOLT AT THIS MOMENT AND THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP. I WENT INTO A SLIDE AND THE CAR SLID ACROSS 2 LANES INTO A TREE FILLED MEDIAN. THE CAR WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THERE WERE NO FACTORS THAT COULD INFLUENCE SUCH A CRASH, AS THE ROAD WAS DRY, IT HADN'T RAINED. THE ROAD WAS WELL PAVED. FINALLY, SPEED WASN'T A FACTOR IN THE CRASH. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE DOWNSHIFTS IN GEARS, HOWEVER AFTER A RECENT RECALL WE REALIZED WHAT HAD HAPPENED.

ON MARCH 27, 2015, I BROUGHT MY MUSTAND TO FORD BECAUSE I DISCOVERED ON THE HOOD OF MY CAR, THAT THE PAINT WAS BUBBLING/COMING APART FROM THE HOOD. ON APRIL 7, 2015, THE FORD DEALER REPAINTED MY HOOD. THEN, I NOTICED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME, IN MORE THAN ONE AREA OF MY HOOD THAT THE PAINT WAS LIFTING OFF OF THE HOOD. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY BUT THEY WERE RELUCTANT TO REPLACE THE HOOD OR REPAINT AT NO COST. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THAT I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN DURING THE "WARRANTY PERIOD" AS IN THE MANUAL HOWEVER, THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED SINCE IT RETURNED AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND SHOWS WRENCH LIGHT AND GOES INTO LIMP MODE. TROUBLE CODES SHOWN P2111 AND P2112. THIS CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME DURING DRIVING AND HAS HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES.

THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE REPLACE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY HAD NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED YET. I WENT BACK FOR SERVICE IN MARCH 2016, AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. IF I AM MAIMED, WOUNDED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS DANGEROUS EQUIPMENT AND NEGLIGENT PROCESS, I HOPE MY FAMILY FILES A HUGE LAW SUITE AND FORD AND THE US GOVERNMENT FOR FAILURE OF OVERSIGHT OF A KNOWN DEFECT CAUSE HARM OR DEATH.

DURING INITIAL ACCELERATION AFTER A LEFT TURN, SHIFTING FROM 1ST INTO 2ND GEAR, THE VEHICLE SHOOK WILDLY AND VIOLENTLY ROCKED SIDE TO SIDE AND LOST POWER. THIS WAS THE SECOND IDENTICAL OCCURRENCE ON CITY STREETS WHILE ACCELERATING OUT OF LEFT TURNS. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, HAD TO MAKE IMMEDIATE MOVES TO THE RIGHT LANE BEFORE POWER WAS RESTORED. BASED ON OTHER REPORTING AND RESEARCH, IT APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE OF THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS 18,500 MILES AND HAS A MT-82 TRANSMISSION.

SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 15S21/ NHTSA RECALL 15V-319 FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING RUPTURE 7 DEPLOY ABNORMALLY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING DRIVER 7 OTHER OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. FORD ISSUED THIS RECALL ON JULY 2015. THE LETTER CONTAINS NO PHONE # SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THE PARTS ARE BEING PRODUCED SLOWLY AND GOES IN ORDER OF VIN#. I AM STILL DRIVING WITH MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH THE CONSTANT FEAR OF BEING INJURED AND DYING FROM THE AIR BAG THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT ME. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT MANAGER ACTED ANNOYED BY MY CALL; HOWEVER, THEY WERE MORE THAN OVERJOYED TO SELL IT TO ME. THERE SHOULD BE A WAY TO GET AN UPDATED PROGRESS REPORT ON THE PRODUCTION OF THE REPLACEMENT PART & THE PROCESS SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS LONG. WHAT I AM I TO DO? WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING LIFE-ALTERING HAPPENS WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS BUYING MY DREAM CAR...

INTERMITTENTLY, WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO 'LIMP HOME MODE'. THE 'WRENCH' TROUBLE LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON THE DASH. THE VEHICLE THEN HAS TO BE STOPPED COMPLETELY, PUT INTO PARK AND SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE THEN STARTS AFTER A FEW EXTRA CRANKS OF THE STARTER AND RUNS NORMALLY. THE 'WRENCH LIGHT IS NO LONGER LIT AND NO ENGINE CODE IS STORED. MY MECHANIC CANNOT TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE NO ENGINE ERROR CODE IS STORED. RESEARCH ON-LINE POINTS TO DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY AS THE CULPRIT WITH REPLACEMENT AS THE SOLUTION. FORD SHOULD ADD THE MUSTANG TO ITS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM FOR DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODIES. I UNDERSTAND SOME 1.6 MILLION VEHICLES ARE ALREADY ON THIS LIST. THE PROBLEM BEGAN FOR ME ABOUT A YEAR AGO AROUND THE 18K MILE MARK AND THE VEHICLE NOW HAS ABOUT 22K MILES ON IT, IS METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AND CARED FOR. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT WE, AS OWNERS, COULD AT LEAST ADDRESS PROPERLY IF THERE WAS AN ENGINE ERROR CODE REPORTED. I AM GOING TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE BASED ON WHAT OTHERS HAVE REPORTED, SINCE THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX FROM FORD. I DID REPORT THIS TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY 04/23/2016. THEY CONFIRMED THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEM WITH MUSTANG THROTTLE BODIES. I RECOMMEND THAT FORD PUT SOME ENGINEERS ON THIS AND REMEDY THE PROBLEM. IN THE MEANTIME, WE MUSTANG OWNERS WITH CARS OUT OF WARRANTY ARE HAVING TO FEND FOR OURSELVES.

I CALLED THE SAFERCAR.GOV PHONE NUMBER REGARDING THE STATUS OF MY CAR'S TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL SINCE IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING MY CAR IS INDEED AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER OF MY CAR AT 1-800-392-3673. FOLLOWING THE PROMPTS, I WAS WAITING ON HOLD UNTIL MY TURN CAME UP BUT WAS EVENTUALLY CUT OFF; I HAVE CALLED MULTIPLE TIMES ENCOUNTERING THE SAME ISSUE. I AM FRUSTRATED AS TO THE TIME IT IS TAKING TO REPLACE THESE AIRBAGS WITH RECENTLY ANOTHER LIFE LOST TO FAULTY AIRBAGS. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO ENSURE THESE AIRBAGS ARE REPLACED QUICKLY!!!

TAKATA RECALL. MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG WAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR FAULTY AIRBAGS ON 5-27-2015. THE RECALL STATUS ON 4-8-2016 IS STILL "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." I FIND THIS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. I SAW ON THE NEWS THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER DEATH CAUSED BY THESE EXPLODING TAKATA AIRBAGS. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE NHTSA TAKES THIS SERIOUSLY AND MAKES FORD AND OTHER AFFECTED MANUFACTURERS START REPLACING THESE AIRBAGS? I FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL: IN JULY 2015, I GOT A NOTICE THAT MY CAR WAS RECALLED BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAGS. I HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THEM REPLACED BUT ALL THAT I GET IS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THEM YET. WHEN ARE THEY REQUIRED TO MAKE THE REPLACEMENT?

WENT TO STOP AND HAD TO PUT CAR INTO NEUTRAL BEFORE CAR STOPPED BECAUSE GAS PETAL WOULD NOT RELEASE.

WHILE ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AND THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK, THEN THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED INTO 3RD GEAR, AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 3RD GEAR UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED, AND THE ENGINE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ONE WHEN IT OCCURS. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED A RECALL NOTICE BEFORE THEY CAN FIX IT. I'M OUT OF WORK AND DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. RIGHT NOW, WE ARE DRIVING IT AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE.

TAKATA RECALL WHY DOESN'T NTSB, FORD,TAKATA, SOMEBODY, GIVE US SOME SORT OF PROJECTED DATE WHEN PARTS MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL. WE GOT A LETTER IN JULY 2015 STATING CAR NEEDED ATTENTION AND WE WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS WERE IN AND REPAIRS COULD BE DONE. I KNOW A MAZDA OWNER WHOSE CAR HAS BEEN CALLED IN 3 TIMES FOR THIS WORK. YET FORD ONLY SAYS THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS. WHY NOT DISARM THE AIR BAD AS AN INTRIM STEP, IF NOTHING ELSE. I'D RATHER TAKE MY CHANCES WITH THAT THAN DRIVE AROUND WITH AN AIR BAG THAT CAN KILL ME. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TELL FORD, AND PERHAPS OTHER PRODUCT OWNERS, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

MUSTANG 2012 GT RUST DISCOVERED ON TOP AND UNDER HOOD THIS WINTER. VERY SERVER . IT IS GOING TO COST 1500-2000 DOLLARS TO FIX . NO GUARANTY THAT THIS WILL FIX PROBLEM FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT IT. OUT OF POCKET MONEY FOR A CAR THAT IS COVERED, AND GARAGE KEPT. THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE A SCRATCH OR DENT ON IT. THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING.

TAKATA RECALL NO WORD ON REPLACEMENT05.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR CO. IN JULY 2015. IT STATES THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR HOUSING MAY RUPTURE AND DEPLOY ABNORMALLY. IF THIS HAPPENS IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I CONTACTED FORD'S CUSTOMER SERVICE IN DECEMBER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WOULD BE FIXED IN 2016. I CONTACTED THEM IN FEBRUARY AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE PARTS? THE RECALL NOTICE 152S21/NHTSA RECALL 15V-319. I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF? THANKS.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED LAST YEAR THAT MY CAR WAS RECALLED. FORD STILL DOES NOT HAVE PARTS TO FIX OR A PLAN TO FIX. THIS CAR IS JUST SITTING BECAUSE I WILL NOT ALLOW MY CHILDREN DO DRIVE A CAR THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR AIRBAGS THAT COULD CAUSE DEATH. HOW LONG DOES FORD HAVE TO REPAIR? I HAVE TO PAY INSURANCE, PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX ON A CAR WE WON'T USE. PEOPLE ALSO DO NOT WANT TO PURCHASE MY CAR BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN RECALLED AND NOT FIXED. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THIS IS NOT A FORD ISSUE IT IS A TAKATA ISSUE AND I WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IN THE MEAN TIME MY CAR IS DEPRECIATING AND NOT BEING USED. WHAT IS MY RECOURSE?

TAKATA RECALL - IN EARLY NOVEMBER 2015 I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG WHEN I EXPERIENCED A MINOR FENDER BENDER, LESS THAT 10 MPH. SURPRISINGLY, THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING MY PASSENGER, A YOUNG BOY WITH A STOMACH BAG AND OTHER ILLNESSES TO HAVE TO GET CHECKED IN THE HOSPITAL. THANK GOD HE WAS NOT INJURED BUT HE WAS VERY SHAKEN UP FOR MANY DAYS BECAUSE OF HIS AUTISM. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO BODYART COLLISION CENTER ((908-789-0330) TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS, WHICH THEY HAVE DONE. HOWEVER, THREE MONTHS LATER MY CAR IS STILL SITTING THERE BECAUSE, ALTHOUGH THEY WERE ABLE TO INSTALL THE PROPER AIRBAGS, FORD HAS NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO GET APPROVAL FOR A NEWLY DESIGNED REPLACEMENT DASHBOARD. SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE CALLED TO FIND AFTER MARKET DASHBOARD BUT NO ONE HAS THEM. FORD HAS ALSO STOPPED MANUFACTURING THEM, MOST LIKELY BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG RECALL. MY MECHANIC, MYSELF, MY MOTHER AND ANYONE ELSE I CAN FIND HAS CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE (HEATHER 866-631-3788, EXT. 7-7790, CASE NO. CAS8338404) AND THEIR RESPONSE IS "WE HAVE NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO GIVE YOU." NOW THEY NO LONGER RETURN CALLS. WE EVEN SENT AN EMAIL TO THE CEO BUT HAVE NOT EVEN RECEIVED AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE NO CAR, CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ONE, AND AM LIVING WITH MY MOTHER SO THAT I CAN USE HER CAR FOR ERRANDS, EVEN THOUGH I NOW HAVE TO TRAVEL 40 MINUTES TO GET TO WORK. I PAY $1500+ MONTHLY RENT AND I CANT EVEN LIVE IN MY APARTMENT. THE FRUSTRATION IS OVERWHELMING. I ASK FOR ANY RELIEF FROM FORD -- HELP WITH RENTING A CAR, A REPLACEMENT CAR UNTIL THEY THE GOVERNMENT (I ASSUME NHTCA) APPROVES THE NEW DASHBOARD, EVEN A RESPONSE THAT HAS A LITTLE MORE MEAT THAN THE STANDARD RHETORIC FROM THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

ONE MORNING I STARTED UP THE MUSTANG IN THE GARAGE AND THE STEERING WHEEL DIDN'T WORK. I COULDN'T TURN IT IN EITHER DIRECTION. AND THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT WAS ON. THANK GOODNESS THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. LATER ON, THE STEERING WHEEL DID WORK AND THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT WAS OFF. BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE IT SO I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING RACK HAD TO BE REPLACED (INTERNALLY FAILED EPAS STEERING RACK, CODE = U3000:49) FOR A COST OF $1,800. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED.

MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG HAS RUNAWAY CORROSION AROUND THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD. THIS CORROSION WILL AFFECT THE HOOD CRUMPLE AREAS IN A CRASH.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY DATED JULY 2015, ALMOST 8 MONTHS AGO INFORMING ME OF SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 15S21. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS RECALL THAT DETAILS THE POSSIBILITY OF A ABNORMALLY DEPLOYING DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH. I JUST SPOKE TO FORD (IT IS 23 FEBRUARY 2016 AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING) AND THEY INDICATED THAT THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS NECESSARY TO REPAIR THIS VERY SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG. THERE RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY WERE STILL WORKING WITH THE SUPPLIER FOR THE PARTS. THAT IS EXTREMELY UNACCEPTABLE, GIVEN THE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS NATURE OF THIS MALFUNCTION. I REQUEST THAT NHTSA CONTACT FORD AND PRESSURE THEM TO ACCELERATE THEIR EFFORTS IN ACQUIRING THE NECESSARY PARTS TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. NHTSA SHOULD FINE FORD FOR THEIR INACTION IN THIS MATTER. IT COULD BE A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH.

TAKATA RECALL - I AM BEING TOLD BY MY FORD DEALERSHIP THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS SENT THEM NO PARTS/AIRBAGS AT ALL TO REPLACE THE RECALLED ONES. I LIVE IN FLORIDA (NOT GETTING ANY MORE HUMID THAN THAT), AND IT'S BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE (MAY 2015). I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE AT FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO SEND THE REPLACEMENTS ASAP, AS NONE OF THE DEALERS ARE PROVIDING LOANERS, AND I DRIVE 80 MILES A DAY!! THANK YOU!!!

FORD HAS YET TO MAKE THE PARTS AVAILABLE AND TELLS ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING A CAR THSAT, BY THEIR OWN ADMISSION, COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THEY TOLD ME THE DIRECTOR OF THE NHTSA IS TELLING PEOPLE TO GO AHEAD AND DRIVE THESE CARS. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE PARTS FOR MONTHS AND DON'T WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. WHY IS FORD BEING ALLOWED TO GET BY WITH THIS. THEY SHOUDL EITHER FIX OUR CARS OR BUY THEM BACK FROM US. 9 DEATHS AND 136 SERIOUS INJURIES IS TERRIFYING. IF THEY CAN MAKE NEW CARS WITH SAFE AIR BAGS TO SELL AT THEIR DEALERSHIP, WHY CAN'T THEYAREN'T THEY BEING FORCED TO GET REPLACEMENT PARTS OUT TO THE CONSUMERS THEY SOLD DEFECTIVE CARS TO. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT, THE SO-CALLED SAFTEY FEATURE COULD KILL ME. WE, THE CONSUMERS, NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE TO GET THIS MATTER RECTIFIED.

I HAVE A 2012 MUSTANG GT WITH 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT THE CAR AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CAR AT ABOUT 2,500 MILES. THE CAR AT THAT POINT HAD A DEALER RE-BUILT TRANSMISSION AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT HAS 2ND THROUGH 6TH GEAR REPLACED DUE TO A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. SINCE THAT TIME I'VE HAD MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND THE CAR NOW HAS ABOUT 49,000 MILES. IN EARLY JANUARY, IT BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO 1ST GEAR. IT WAS VERY STIFF AND TOOK A LOT OF FORCE TO GET IT INTO 1ST. SHIFTING TO 2ND GEAR RESULTED IN A GEAR-MASHING SOUND. 3RD GEAR SOUNDED LIKE A LOUD CLUNK. 4TH THROUGH 6TH GEARS WERE FINE. THESE INCIDENTS BECAME WORSE AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE 2 DIFFERENT ACCIDENTS BY NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS IN TRAFFIC. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN THE NORTH ATLANTA, GA AREA AND THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR. THEIR TRANSMISSION TECH BELIEVED IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SYNCHRONIZERS. THE TECH DID NOT BELIEVE HE HAD THE EXPERTISE TO WORK ON THIS ISSUE AND REFERRED ME TO ANOTHER FORD DEALERSHIP. ON 1/14/16 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE 2ND DEALERSHIP AND THEIR TECH AGREED IT WAS THE SYNCHRONIZERS. THAT DEALERSHIP TOOK ABOUT 1 WEEK TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS. AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE ISSUE WAS NOT SOLVED; LOUD SOUNDS WERE COMING OUT OF THE REAR OF THE CAR. OVER THE PAST 2 WEEKS, THEY'VE ORDERED NUMEROUS REPLACEMENT PARTS. AS OF TODAY, 2/9/16, THERE ARE PARTS THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND ARE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THE ETA FOR THE PARTS IS NOW 2/24/16. I'VE READ ABOUT SIMILAR ISSUES OTHER MUSTANG OWNERS WITH THIS SPECIFIC 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION HAVE HAD AND PERSONALLY CAN SAY IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY WARNING FOR THE DRIVER. THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND NEW TRANSMISSIONS INSERTED AS A WHOLE UNIT VS. INSTALLING MULTIPLE PARTS. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE ME TO EXPERIENCE DIMINISHED VALUE AT RESALE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2014. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES. THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO TEMPORARY FIX IS AVAILABLE. MY CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE UNTIL IT IS FIXED. ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN. WHAT CAN YOU DO TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN?

THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A POLE AND A BUILDING. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,700.

MY VEHICLE CONSTANTLY GOES INTO LIMP HOME MODE WHILE DRIVING. TURNS OFF ALL CYLINDERS EXCEPT 1 WHICH LET'S YOU DRIVE ABOUT 5MPH. ALSO WHILE MY VEHICLE IS AT IDLE IT BEGINS TO LOOSE PROPER IDLE RPM AND NEARLY STALLS UNTIL REVS BACK TO A HIGHER RPM. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THE ISSUE IS THOUGHT TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY AND THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. CURRENTLY MYMY VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP GOING THROUGH SOME VEHICLE DIAGNOSTICS TO FIGURE OUT THE EXACT PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE VEHICLE WARRANTY AND I AM BEING CHARGED $145.00 FOR THE INITIAL INSPECTION AND THEN CHARGED BY THE HOUR TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I NOT INCLUDING PARTS. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 59,000 MILES ON IT AND IT'S ALREADY FAILING. IT APPEARS THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND FORD HAS YET TO RECALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.

WHY IS IT THAT NEW CARS HAVE AIRBAGS NOT INVOLVED IN RECALL, BUT THOSE OF US DRIVING WITH THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS CANNOT GET OURS REPLACED? BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT FORCING THE AUTO INDUSTRY TO DO IT! AUTO MAKERS WOULD MUCH RATHER PAY OUT TO INDIVIDUAL PHYSICALLY MAIMED OR KILLED PER LAWSUIT, THAN TO PAY THE MILLIONS TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. SHAMEFUL ON YOUR PART!!

I'VE NOTICED MY CAR HASN'T BEEN GETTING THE SAME CITY MPG AS BEFORE. IVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR 2 YEARS, I'M THE SECOND OWNER AND THIS STARTED AT ROUGHLY 62,000 MILES.

WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON, FOLLOWED BY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CAR GOES INTO FAIL SAFE MODE, DOWN TO ABOUT 2 MPH; RPMS FLUCTUATE DRAMATICALLY. HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY, AND DURING NORMAL STREET DRIVING. SEEMS TO BE IN THE THROTTLE, THE SAME THING AS IN THE RECALLED FORD FOCUS THROTTLE PLATE ACTUATOR.

MY CAR WOULD DIE WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON JUST TO CRAWL INTO A PARKING LOT, SO I HAD IT TOWED AND THE COMPUTERIZED ENGINE DIAGNOSTICS AT THE NAPA AUTO CARE CENTER SHOWED A MALFUNCTION OF THE THROTTLE BODY.THIS REPAIR COST ME $726.32

THIS RECALL HAS BEEN IN FORCE FOR MONTHS AND NOBODY SEEMS TO BE DOING ANYTHING TO FIX THESE CARS. I AM AFRAID EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR AND I AM ANGRY THAT FORD IS NOT ACTING ON THIS. I WANT TO BE AS SAFE AS I CAN IN MY CAR! NO ACCIDENT, BUT I FEAR ONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V319000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN MAY 2015. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE GIVEN.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE EXPRESSWAY AT 60 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR LOST POWER ON THE ACCELERATION. A WRENCH TOOL APPEAR AND THE DASHBOARD ON THE RPM CLOCK ... AT THAT MOMENT THE CAR DESACCELERATE ALMOST TO 30 MPH AND I WAS UNABLE TO GAIN SPEED. I WENT TO A SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN IT OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. EVERYTHING APPEAR TO BE NORMAL BUT THE FIRST THING I DID WAS GO TO THE DEALER. THEY RUN A TEST ON IT AND TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO THE ELECTEIC THROTTLE BODY. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW IS POSSIBLE TO HAPPEND SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHEN MY CAR BARELY HAS 4 YEARS. THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON OT AND THE REPAIR FOR IT IS REALLY EXPENSIVE.

I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE IT IS RELATED TO SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD DOES NOT REPLY PROPERLY TO MY QUESTIONS. I AM ASKING IF MY 2012 MUSTANG STEERING MAKING LOUD NOISE CONSTANTLY DURING TURNING, IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE DRIVEN OR HAVE TO BE PARKED. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT STEERING WILL BE STUCK OR NOT WITH THE CURRENT ISSUE? IF THE STEERING IS STUCK DURING OPERATING, TERRIBLE ACCIDENT WILL BE HAPPEN. FORDS SHOULD HAVE A GOOD ADVICE ON THIS PROBLEM SINCE THEY MAKE THE CAR. I PAID THE DEALERSHIP $120 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THAT THEY ALREADY KNOW. IN ADDITION, THEY CHARGE $1800 TO REPLACE THE STEERING UNIT. IT IS TOO MUCH FOR A CAR WITH 48,000 MILES. FORD RECALLS THE STEERING UNIT ON 2015 FORD MUSTANG, WHY NOT 2012 MODEL? APPARENTLY, SO MANY STEERING PROBLEMS WITH MUSTANG IN EARLY STATE, AND THEY ARE NOT CHEAP TO REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE INSTALLING AN AMATEUR RADIO IN THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT OBSERVED AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHILE THE RADIO WAS TRANSMITTING. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING EXPRESSWAY SPEEDS IN THE CENTER LANE OF A BUSY EXPRESSWAY THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND LOSS OF ALL ACCELERATION. HAD TO COAST TO GET TO RIGHT HAND LANE/SHOULDER. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED. AS A SIDE NOTE, I HAD THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THROTTLE BODY CLEANED JUST OVER A YEAR AGO. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE MUSTANG IS NOT COVERED UNDER FORD'S "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" THAT IS BEING OFFERED FOR FAULTY THROTTLE BODIES IN OTHER MODELS AS THE UNSAFE SYMPTOMS AND RESULTS WERE IDENTICAL, I.E. CAR DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS ABRUPTLY GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND LOSS OF ALL ACCELERATION.

HAS BEEN 60 DAYS SINCE RECALL REPORTED AND NO REMEDY HAS BEEN PROVIDED. CALLS TO DEALER AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY BRING NO RESOLUTION OR COMMITMENT TO RESOLVE. SPOKE TO A DEALER ABOUT TRADING IN AND THEY DID NOT WANT THE CAR UNTIL THE RECALL WAS FIXED. AT THE 60 DAY MARK, NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN REACHED. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE WITH FORD TO MAKE THE REPAIRS.

I WAS ACCELERATING WHEN SUDDENLY THERE WAS NO MORE POWER, THE "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE PROBLEM THEN WENT AWAY HOWEVER REOCCURRED ABOUT SIX TIMES SINCE WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I HAD A MECHANIC RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH REVEALED A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. FORD DEALER HAS NOT AGREED TO REPLACE, DID SAY THAT THEY WOULD MATCH ANY LOWER PRICE FOR THE PART SO THAT THERE WOULD BE A 2 YEAR FORD WARRANTY. SINCE THERE ARE SEVEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS CAR AND IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, IT SEEMS LIKE THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE PART.

THE VEHICLE HAS GONE INTO LIMP MODE SEVERAL TIMES. THE WRENCH SYMBOL ON THE DASH COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE MUST BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. I AM TOLD THE THROTTLE BODY MUST BE REPLACED. WHY IS THERE A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM FOR THE ESCAPE AND OTHER MODELS BUT NOT THE 2012 MUSTANG. I OWN A 2012 FORD ESCAPE ALSO AND HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM WITH THAT VEHICLE. ONLY EXPERIENCE IT WITH A SAME YEAR VEHICLE THAT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN IT SHUTS DOWN AT 45+ MPH.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH WHEN THE CAR JUST SATLLED OUT. I HAD TO STEER TO THE RIGHT LAND AND COAST TO THE SHOULDER. I THEN TURNED THE CAR OFF....NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES IT RESTARTED. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP IT AS A THROTTLE BODY THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FOR MY FORD MUSTANG 2012 STATING THERE IS AN AIRBAG DEFECT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR THOUGH IT HAS LESS THAN 7000 MILES BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF INJURIES OF DEATHS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TAKATA AIRBAG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V319000 (AIR BAGS).

THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

FAILURE OF THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE "LIMP HOME MODE" SIMILAR TO THE RECALL OF FORD ESCAPES AND OTHERS WITH SAME V-6 ENGINE ASSEMBLY.

I TOOK MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG (62,000 MILES) TO A FORD DEALER TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED. THEY TALKED ME INTO A TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE, BECAUSE IT WOULD "EXTEND THE LIFE OF MY VEHICLE". WHEN I PICKED IT UP, IT WAS NOT RUNNING RIGHT. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED SOME SENSORS AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. I MADE IT HOME BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START THE NEXT MORNING. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, AFTER THEM ATTEMPTING TO FIX IT 3 TIMES AND IT STILL NOT BEING FIXED, THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND IT STILL MAKING A LOUD NOISE CHANGING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. I SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON SOME 2012 MUSTANGS FOR A POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL.

WHILE ENTERING THE FREEWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, MY CAR WENT INTO "LIMP MODE", THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AS DID THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY, TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS- MOSTLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. IT IS VERY SCARY TO BE DRIVING ON A HOUSTON FREEWAY, HAVE THIS HAPPEN AND NEED TO SAFELY MANEUVER A VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY, OFTEN CROSSING SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC WHEN VEHICLES ARE MOVING AT 40-55 MPH AND I HAVE NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY TO RESTART MY CAR BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO SAFELY CHANGE LANES. IT WAS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE AND I WAS AFRAID I WOULD BE RE-ENDED BY MOTORIST DRIVING AT POSTED SPEEDS. WHEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, ALONG WITH THE MARINER'S, ESCAPES, FOCUS ETC, I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY FORD MUSTANGS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. GIVEN THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION, THE COST INVOLVED IN REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, FORD'S LONG HISTORY OF VEHICLES WITH DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODIES, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE 2012 MUSTANG OR ANY OTHER FORD PRODUCT WITH THIS ISSUE ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY ELIGIBLE FOR THE "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" WHICH FIXES THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT TRUST THIS CAR AND NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN IT.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE WRENCH LIGHT COME ON AND CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE. ONCE GOING DOWN A 4 LANE HIGHWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND CAR JUST STALLS. I HAD TO GET OVER IN FAR LANE AND GET OFF ROAD AS CARS WERE FLYING UP ON ME AND AROUND ME.

BRAND NEW 2012 MUSTANG DOES NOT HAVE A SCREEN THAT PREVENTS DEBRIS (LEAVES, BUGS, ETC) FROM GOING DOWN THE A/C INTAKE. WHEN THE DEBRIS CLOGS UP THE A/C WATER DRAIN IT WILL BACK UP AND GET INTO A JUNCTION BOX AND CORRODE PLUGS THAT ARE DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE ABS, ADV TRAC CONTROL ETC,. THIS DISABLES OR TRICKS THE ABS SYST A SAFETY FEATURE THAT CONTROLS YOUR BRAKES. FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU ARE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH AND APPLY THE BRAKES HARD THE ABS SYST IS DISABLED OR THINKS ONE BRAKE IS LOCKED UP AND THE CAR JUMPS ALL OVER THE PLACE, LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR AND WRECK OR KILL SOMEONE IN THE PROCESS.....ALL BECAUSE A MAJOR MANUFACTURE DID NOT PLACE SIMPLE DOOR SCREEN OVER THE INTAKE TO KEEP DEBRIS OUT OF THE A/C INTAKE AND CLOG A HOLE.....

THE PAINT IS BLISTERING ON THE HOOD. THERE IS NO DAMAGE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. FORD HAS ISSUED AS SERVICE BULLETIN AFFECTING A NUMBER OF MODELS AND YEARS. A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT HAS BEEN FILED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR WAS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. SOMETHING SOUNDS LOOSE INSIDE STEERING GEAR.

HOOD PAINT IS BUBBLING AND FALLING OFF DUE TO CORROSION.

WHILE MERGING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY AT 15 MPH THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME AND THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE. I WAS LUCKY THE RIGHT HAND LANE HAD BREAK IN TRAFFIC AND I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THE LIMP TURNED IN NO ACCELERATION AND WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO THE GAS PEDAL. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED 1 MINUTE AND RESTARTED THE CAR - EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. I DROVE DIRECTLY TO MY MECHANIC AND HAD HIM SCAN FOR CODES. NO CODES WERE FOUND. HE RAN NUMEROUS OTHER CHECKS AND DROVE THE CAR FOR 60 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS. THE FIRST TIME NOTHING HAPPENED AS THE CAR DID NOT GO INTO LIMP MODE. THE CAR WAS SCANNED THEN ALSO WITH NO CODES SHOWING. I WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE BEEN HIT.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE SHIFTING INTO A HIGHER GEAR AT 7000 - 7500 RPM THE CLUTCH PEDDLE DID NOT RETURN TO THE FULLY ENGAGED POSITION AND THE CLUTCH DID NOT FULLY ENGAGE. AFTER DRIVING 1 OR 2 MILES THE SITUATION CORRECTED ITSELF. MANUAL 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND 5.0L V-8 ENGINE. BOSS 302 MODEL. SEVERAL PHONE CONTACTS WITH FORD AND FORD RACING RESULTED IN THEIR INDICATION OF NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE CLUTCH STICKING PROBLEM. 2 FORD DEALERS I SPOKE TO ALSO CLAIMED TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS SITUATION.

WHILE DRIVING OVER ROUGH OR UNEVEN PAVEMENT, A VERY AUDIBLE RATTLE CAN BE HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE, MOST NOTICEABLY WITH THE STEERING CENTERED. THE CAR ALSO HAS SOME UNSTABLE CHARACTERISTICS, TENDING TO PULL MUCH MORE STRONGLY TOWARDS ANY LINES OR CROWNS THAN NORMAL. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER, WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO ISOLATE THE NOISE TO THE FRONT LEFT CORNER OF THE CAR WITH "CHASSIS EARS", BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE NOISE. ALL FRONT END COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. FORD ENGINEERS WERE CONTACTED, AND REPORTED BACK THAT THE NOISE WAS NORMAL AND THE CAR WAS RETURNED UNREPAIRED. LOWER CONTROL ARMS ON BOTH SIDES WERE REPLACED UNDER TSB 13-9-3. SERVICE DESCRIPTION READS: "FRONT SUSPENSION TECH XXXX VERIFIED CUSTOMER CONCERN AND FOUND THE THERE (SIC) IS A NOISE FOUND IN LEFT FRONT WHEN ON A GRAVEL ROAD. USED CHASSIS EAR AND FOUND LEFT FRONT HYDRO BUSHING TO MAKE NOISE. REPLACED LEFT FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM PER TSB 13-9-3 OP CODE 130903A. ALSO FOUND LEFT OUTER TIE ROD BOLT STRETCHED. REPLACED LEFT FRONT TIE ROD AND PERFORMED 2 WHEEL ALIGNMENT. NOISE IS STILL PRESENT. CHECKED WITH HOTLINE, NOISE IS CHARACTERISTIC. DROVE ANOTHER LIKE CAR AND FOUND NOISE IS CHARACTERISTIC." THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO BECOME WORSE, AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BECOME INVOLVED. RETURNED TO LOCAL DEALER, SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO, AND THAT THE NOISE AND INSTABILITY IS NORMAL. NO OTHER DEALER WITHIN 100 MILES WILL LOOK AT THE VEHICLE, AND THE PROBLEM HAS SINCE GONE UNREPAIRED.

THE PAINT IS LIFTING OFF OF THE HOOD DUE TO CORROSION UNDER THE PAINT BY MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

MY WIFE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH AND NOTICED A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. SHE TURNED LEFT INTO THE FIRST PARKING LOT AVAILABLE. WHILE TURNING, SHE HEARD SOMETHING LOOSE AND RATTLING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. SHE THEN PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE. SHE SHOOK THE STEERING WHEEL SIDE TO SIDE AND A LARGE BROKEN BLACK BOLT FELL OUT. AFTER THAT SHE REALIZED THAT THE WHEEL WAS FREE AND FELL OFF INTO HER HANDS. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY SITTING AT A LOCAL FORD DEALER AND IS SCHEDULED TO BE REPAIRED IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. I DID TAKE SEVERAL PICTURE OF THE BROKEN BOLT HEAD, STEERING WHEEL, AND STEERING COLUMN (WITH THE REMAINING BOLT). THIS CAR IS OWNED BY COUPLE WHO ARE IN THERE 60'S. WE PURCHASED IT NEW AND HAS NEVER BEEN RACED OR ABUSED. *TR

UPON TAKE OFF FROM A RED LIGHT THE CAR JERKED AND SEEM TO LOSE POWER AND WHILE ACCELERATING ONLY THE RPM NEEDLE WOULD GO UP BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX IT AS I COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOW 2 MONTHS LATER AND THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED ONLY THIS TIME THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH OTHER DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND NOW THAT IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THE SERVICE MAN SAYS OVER THE PHONE " I THINK I KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS" REALLY I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN YOUR DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND NOW IT IS THERE AGAIN. IT HAPPENS TO BE THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL IN WHICH FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF FOR YEARS AND THERE WERE SOME RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE ONE. I CONTACTED FORD AND SPOKE TO A REP. AND SHE SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHENEVER HE DROVE OVER A BUMP AND THE VEHICLE VIBRATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUSPENSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

FOR A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE INCIDENT, MY STEERING WAS ACTING UP LIKE SMALL BUMPS WHEN I TURNED LEFT. THEN YESTERDAY, I BACKED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, DROVE UP MY STREET, TURNED LEFT AND ONCE I GOT UP TO SPEED THE EPAS JUST STOPPED WORKING. MY COMPUTER SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRONIC ASSIST POWER STEERING FAILURE. I COULDN'T CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND I ALMOST HIT A CHILD WALKING TO SCHOOL ON THE SIDEWALK. I TRIED ALL THE RESET STUFF FORD SAYS AND THAT DIDN'T WORK. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE BASICALLY THE RUDEST SERVICE CENTER EVER. THEY REFUSED TO EVEN GIVE ME A LOANER CAR WHILE THEY FIXED IT, WHICH WOULD TAKE DAYS. SO I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP I USE AND THEY ARE WORKING ON IT NOW AND GAVE ME A LOANER CAR BEFORE I ASKED FOR ONE!!!! THIS THING BROKE 2000 MILES OUT OF THE WARRANTY AND I ALMOST KILLED A KID WALKING TO SCHOOL. I COMMUTE ON I-5 AT 70 MILES PER HOUR EVERYDAY AND NOW I'M WORRIED WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF IT SHUTS OFF GOING THAT SPEED. MY REPAIR BILL WILL BE AROUND $2,000.00 FOR A CAR WITH 38,000 MILES ON IT. MY NISSAN FRONTIER HAD 256,000 MILES AND HAD THE RADIATOR REPLACED!!! *TR

OPEN LEAVING WORK FOR THE DAY MY SECOND GEAR SYNCO IN MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED LEAVING THE PARKING LOT. THEREFORE I NO LONGER HAD 2ND GEAR. SO I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER WHERE THEY WHERE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IN TURNED FIX 2ND GEAR BUT MESSED UP MY REVERSE SYNCO GEAR NOW. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR ALMOST 4 WEEKS AND FORD WONT MAKE A SURPLUS OF PART FOR THIS TRANSMISSION THAT THE PARTS NEEDED ARE ON BACK ORDER UNTIL APRIL 20TH 2015. *TR

THE 2012 MUSTANG COLLIDED WITH A LARGE COMMERCIAL TRUCK. THE MUSTANG'S BRAKES WERE NOT APPLIED, SO THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS EVER DEPLOYED. DURING THIS ACCIDENT, THE MUSTANG WAS TRAVELING THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 40 MPH AND WE BELIEVE THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. *TR

ENTERING INTO TRAFFIC, THE CAR WILL GO INTO LIMP MODE. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR JUST CRUZED AT A SNAIL PACE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS THE TRAFFIC WAS MOVING AND I BARELY MOVED OUT OF THE WAY. SINCE, I HAD 4 OCCURRENCES AND TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER. THEY WILL NOT WORK ON THE CAR UNLESS THE CHECK ENGINE SIGN STAYS ON. THE CAR COMPUTER WILL RESET EVERYTIME YOU START THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR TOW TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS, BUT AS I MENTIONED THE DEALER DID NOT WANTED TO RECOGNIZE THE SITUATION. *TR

AS I WAS TRYING TO PUT MY CAR INTO 3RD GEAR IT WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR. SO I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN IN ORDER TO PUT IT IN 2ND GEAR. ANOTHER TIME I HAD TO GO INTO 4TH. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME. *JS

I WENT TO THE DEALER'S BODY SHOP TO GET AN ESTIMATE ON REPAIR AND WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH THE ALUMINUM/IRON CONTAMINATION DURING THE CAR ASSEMBLY AND THAT A NEW PAINT JOB WOULD ONLY BE A BAND-AID. BROUGHT PROBLEM TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD DOCUMENT AND SEND TO FORD FOR RESOLUTION ... 3 MONTHS LATER I CONTACTED THE DEALER, AND NOTHING HAD BEEN DONE. ON THE 2ND VISIT, THEY DOCUMENTED THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT WOULD BE SUBMITTED TO FORD. THE RESULT WAS THAT FORD DENIED THE CLAIM BECAUSE IT WAS BEYOND THE 3 YEAR TERM. WHEN I RESEARCHED THE ALUMINUM CORROSION ISSUE I FOUND THAT SENDING A COMPLAINT TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE MIGHT ELEVATE THE CLAIM, I SENT A MESSAGE TO [XXX] AT FORD. SHE WAS VERY NICE AND SENT ME THE CONTACT INFO FOR MY AREA'S FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, [XXX]. SHE LET ME KNOW SHE WAS CHECKING INTO THE PROBLEM BUT THAT THE ONLY REAL SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE HOOD. WHEN I HEARD BACK, SHE INFORMED ME THAT: "THE COST TO REPLACE THE HOOD OF YOUR MUSTANG WOULD COME TO APPROXIMATELY $2,483.32. I CAN ASSIST WITH 50% OF THIS REPAIR BUT NOT TO EXCEED $1,241.66 IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT ADDITIONAL REPAIRS ARE NEEDED. I HAVE CONTACTED [XXX] AT APPLE FORD AND ADVISED HIM OF MY OFFER. I CAN HONOR THIS OFFER FOR UP TO 30 DAYS FROM TODAY." I CANNOT AFFORD TO PUT OUT MONEY TO FIX THIS AND FEEL THAT A PROBLEM ORIGINATING IN THE ASSEMBLY PLANT, WHICH HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED, SHOULD NOT BE COVERED COMPLETELY BY FORD. IF THIS WERE A PROBLEM WITH THE MECHANICS OF THE CAR, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FULLY COVERED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY FULL SPEED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, AND ENGINE JUST SHUTS DOWN. WRENCH LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. HAVE TO COAST THROUGH TRAFFIC TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP. RESTART THE CAR A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND THEN IT'S FINE. TOOK TO FORD DEALER, WHO SAID I HAD A BAD THROTTLE BODY. CHARGED OVER $800 TO REPAIR. COMPLETELY LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE! FORD HAS AGREED TO FIX DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODIES ON OTHER MODELS, BUT NOT THE MUSTANG. THIS REALLY LOOKS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM, AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A LOUD METAL-ON-METAL GRINDING NOISE. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS PROGRESSING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE BALL JOINT, BUSHINGS, SUSPENSION, SHOCKS AND BOTH CONTROL ARMS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE DAYS LATER. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE CONTACT TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, CRASHING INTO A CURB. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT A FIELD ENGINEER WOULD FURTHER INSPECT THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE DEALER ALSO ADVISED THAT WHEN THE CONTROL ARMS WERE REPLACED, THEY WERE NOT REPLACED WITH THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER PART BECAUSE THEY WERE FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED, DOWN TO ABOUT 20 MPH, FORCING HIM TO LIMP TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, WHERE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF, LETTING IT SIT FOR A MINUTE, AND TURNING IT BACK ON, IT ACCELERATED FINE. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY. IT COST $683.32 TO REPAIR. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT MANY FORD MODELS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE MUSTANG HAS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM LIKE THE FUSION AND A FEW OTHER MODELS DO. THIS WAS TERRIBLY DANGEROUS. MY SON COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. *TR

ON OCT 30, 2014 I WAS SHIFTING TO 2ND GEAR AND THE ENGINE BUCKED, LOST SPEED, THEN THE "WRENCH" SYMBOL ILLUMINATED, INDICATING THE LIMP HOME MODE ACTIVATED. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED IT AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. I DROVE IT TO AN AUTO SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT DETECT A MALFUNCTION CODE. TODAY, NOV 5, 2014 WHEN LEAVING MY NEIGHBORHOOD, THE SAME LOSS OF SPEED OCCURRED IN 2ND GEAR AND THE WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE BACK TO THE LOCAL AUTO SHOP AND THEY DETERMINED THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE. THE SOLENOID WAS BAD. FORTUNATELY, MY INCIDENTS HAPPENED AT A LOW SPEED. THIS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC AT HIGH SPEED, RUNNING THE RISK OF A HIGH-SPEED, REAR-END COLLISION. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AS I WAS EXITING THE CAR POWERSTEERING GAVE OUT AND WAS LEFT WITH NO MANUBILITY. WAS ABLE TO POWER THRU AND GET TO THE DEALER RIGHT AT THE CORNER OF THE EXIT. DEALER SAID IT DID PART WAS NOT COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BECAUSE TECHNICALLY IT DOES NOT MAKE THE CAR MOVE. BUT WITH OUT IT YOU CAN'T MOVE THE CAR NO POSSIBLE STEERING. DEALER SAID THEY HAD THE PART IN STOCK DUE TO OTHER 2012 MUSTANGS WITH SAME PROBLEM ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THE FOCUS AND F150 HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AND HAVE BEEN CALLED BACK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE MARKER LIGHT WAS CORRODED. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BULB, BUT IT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE DUE TO CORROSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

THE LEADING EDGE OF THE HOOD IS SHOWING SIGNS OF CORROSION UNDER THE PAINT. FORD KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT COVER THE DEFECT PAST THE STANDARD RUST THROUGH WARRANTY MILEAGE. *TR

TODAY WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE AT A INTERSECTION AND SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T LET ME INTO 2ND. NOW IF THIS JUST HAPPENED ONCE I WOULD LET IT GO BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE CONSIDERING IT CAUSES MY CAR TO SLOW WHILE I'M TRYING TO GET INTO GEAR WITH TRAFFIC COMING AT ME. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. DASH LIGHT CAME ON AS VEHICLE STARTED LIMPING TO STOP IN TRAFFIC. *TR

I HAD JUST LEFT MY HOUSE AND PULLED OUT ONTO THE ROAD. AS THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR SUDDENLY SHOOK AND SHUDDERED AND WOULDN'T RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. THE WRENCH SYMBOL CAME ON THE DASH. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND WOULDN'T GO OVER 3 OR 4 MILES AN HOUR. I PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS, AS THERE WERE VEHICLES COMING UP BEHIND ME ON THE TWO-LANE ROAD AND THEY HAD TO GO AROUND ME. IT WAS VERY SCARY NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER VEHICLES. THIS WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLE, NO PRIOR WARNING OF ANY ISSUES. PRELIMINARY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT OTHER FORD VEHICLES HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THROTTLE BODY FAILURES, WITH VERY SIMILAR DESCRIPTIONS TO THIS ISSUE WITH MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG.

AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON I-295 IN MODERATELY HEAVY TRAFFIC, THERE WAS AN AUDIBLE "CLUNK" AND VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN DECELERATING. PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT POWER THE VEHICLE. DRIVER WAS ALREADY IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE PREPARING TO EXIT, SO SAFELY MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER. HAD DRIVER BEEN IN ANOTHER LANE, THERE WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT RISK OF COLLISION AS THE VEHICLE LOST POWER SO QUICKLY. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FORD DEALER, WHO REPORTED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAD FAILED. FORD DENIED THAT THROTTLE BODY FAILURE WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE MUSTANG, ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN IN SEVERAL OTHER FORD MODELS. *TR

2012 FORD MUSTANG THROWS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH GOING INTO "LIMP MODE" (CAR CUTS ALL ACCELERATION, AND JUST IDLES). I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND SHUT VEHICLE OFF. VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL AFTER ONE OR TWO TURN ONS. THIS WILL OCCUR EVERY OTHER DAY, AND MULTIPLE TIMES IN A DAY. VERY DANGEROUS IF IT WAS TO HAPPEN WHILE MERGING IN TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER FORD POWERTRAIN OR EMISSIONS WARRANTY, THEY CLAIM THAT IT IS AN "ATTACHMENT" TO THE ENGINE, NOT A PART OF IT. THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED THEM TO EXTEND THEIR WARRANTIES ON THE FORD ESCAPE AND FUSION, BUT NOT THEIR OTHER VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE QUOTED ME $700 DOLLARS TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE THROTTLEBODY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE, THAT IS LINKED TO MORE THAN JUST THE FORD ESCAPE AND FUSION, AND FORD HAS NOT GIVEN THEIR OTHER VEHICLES OWNER'S THE SAME WARRANTY. *JS

THE 2012 MUSTANG IS EQUIPPED WITH AN SYSTEM CALLED ADVANCTRAC. IT IS AN ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM THAT WORKS IN COORDINATION WITH THE ELECTRONIC ASSISTED POWER STEERING. THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING MY CAR TOTALLY SHUT DOWN NOSE DIVED AND TURNED RIGHT BACK ON. WHEN IT RETURNED TO POWER THE ADVANCTRAC SYSTEM HAD TOTALLY SHUT. THE WHEEL WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM SHUTTING DOWN. HAD THIS BEEN IN A CORNER AT SPEED ON A HIGHWAY I WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY LEFT THE ROAD. UPON INVESTIGATING MY CAR I FOUND A BLOWN 100AMP FUSE BY MY BATTERY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ALL ANYONE NEEDS TO DO IS HIT THE INTERNET AND SEE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS EXACT ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. BE IT FROM THE FUSE OR SOMETHING ELSE THIS SHUTDOWN IS FREQUENT. IN LIEU OF RECENT ISSUES WITH GM I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT FORD IS IGNORING THIS. THIS CAN AND COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ANYONE. I CONTACTED FORD AND THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY BLEW ME OFF SO NOW I AM CONTACTING YOU. HOPEFULLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. *TR

ACCORDING TO MY FORD DEALERSHIP, THE SYNCHRONIZERS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND BEARS FAILED. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION PREVIOUSLY, CAUSING THE CAR TO FAIL TO SHIFT WHILE ACCELERATING. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, AS FAILURE TO ACCELERATE WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. THANKFULLY, I WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN MY TRANSMISSION FAILED. *JS

MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS STARTING WITH THE VEHICLE IN THE PARK POSITION. ALL OF THE APPROPRIATE LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON, BUT THE CAR WILL NOT CRANK UNTIL I PLACE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THIS HAPPENS WITH THE CAR PARKED ON LEVEL GROUND AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKES APPLIED AND I HAVE VERIFIED THAT THE INDICATOR SHOWS THE P FOR PARK. AFTER, DOING RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT FORD RECALLED SOME 2012/13 MUSTANGS FOR THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR (TRS) WHICH WAS NOT PROPERLY CALIBRATED AFFECTING THE STARTER INTERLOCK PREVENTING THE VEHICLE FROM STARTING UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION IS PLACED IN NEUTRAL. THE RECALL WAS 12C23, NHTSA # 12V190000, MY 2012 MUSTANG WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, BUT I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH AN IMPROPERLY CALIBRATED (TRS). *TR

DURING ACCELERATION TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC ON A HWY WITH VEHICLES APPROACHING AT 80 MPH MY GAS THROTTLE STUCK AFTER I REACHED THE SPEED OF 60 MPH. THE PEDAL PULLED AWAY FROM MY FOOT ACCELERATING RAPIDLY. I TRIED TO TAP PEDAL TO RELEASE IT BUT IT JUST STUCK. I QUICKLY HIT THE BRAKE AND IT FINALLY RELEASED. I HAD BEEN TRAVELING WITH THE CRUISE ON PRIOR BUT THIS OCCURRENCE, BUT I HAD BEEN STOPPED FOR 5 MINUTES. I PLAN TO INFORM MY FORD LOT NEXT WEEK WHEN I GET THE OIL CHANGED. *TR

ON 02-25-2014 AT APPROXIMATELY 0800 MY WIFE ([XXX]) WAS DRIVING OUR 2012 FORD MUSTANG GT, SHE TURNED ON THE HEATED SEATS AND WAS TRAVELING NORTH BOUND ON GA HWY 49 WHEN THE SEAT WARMER MALFUNCTIONED OVERHEATING AND BURNING A HOLE THROUGH THE LEATHER SEAT BACK, CAUSING A FIRST DEGREE BURN TO THE BOTTOM LEFT FLANK OF HER BACK. ON 02-27-2014 WE TOOK OUR 2012 FORD MUSTANG GT TO RIVERSIDE FORD/LINCOLN IN MACON, GA WE ADVISED THEM OF THE INCIDENT, THEY CHARGED US $95.00 TO INSPECT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE SEAT WARMER TO MALFUNCTION AND BURN A HOLE THROUGH THE SEAT BACK AND CAUSE A FIRST DEGREE BURN TO MY WIFE'S BACK. RIVERSIDE FORD STATED THE CIRCUIT FOR THE SEAT MALFUNCTIONED/FAILED CAUSING THE SEAT WARMER TO OVERHEAT AND BURN A HOLE THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BACK. RIVERSIDE FORD STATED OUR MUSTANG WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING/REPLACE THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT OF OUR MUSTANG AT A COST TO US OF $1,142.36 (PARTS $715.76, LABOR $350.00, MISC. $26.50, AND TAX $50.10). I CALLED THE FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER (1-800-392-3673) SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE AND OPENED A CASE (CASE #: [XXX]) THEY STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS CONCERNING THE SEAT WARMERS IN THE FORD MUSTANG'S AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR US CONCERNING REPLACING/REPAIRING THE DRIVERS SEAT IN OUR VEHICLE BUT THEY WOULD BE LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM. THEY DID ADVISE US TO SAVE OUR SEAT WHEN WE PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED IN CASE THERE IS A RECALL AT A LATER DATE. I AM GLAD MY WIFE WAS NOT MORE SERIOUSLY HURT THAN SHE WAS AND THAT SHE TURNED THE SEAT WARMER OFF BEFORE THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND POSSIBLE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR HARMING OTHER MOTORIST AROUND HER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CAR WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEARS. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO ENTER THE GEAR I DESIRE, CAUSING THE CAR TO SUDDENLY LOOSE MOMENTUM LEAVING ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES CROSSING INTERSECTIONS AND ENTERING THE HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD ONGOING ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT, AND I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE CONFIDENCE THAT IT IS SAFE.

I TURNED RIGHT AT TRAFFIC SIGNAL INTO A MERGE LANE AND ACCELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND MERGED LEFT. AT THIS POINT THE CAR STARTED JERKING AND MAKING A LOUD NOISE. I PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PETAL AND COULD FEEL THE BRAKES BEING ACTIVATED, THE CAR LOST POWER AND CONTINUED THE JERKING FOR APPROXIMATELY 200 YARD. OTHER CARS BEHIND ME BEGAN BLOWING THEIR HORNS. I DO BELIEVE SOME OF THE DASH LIGHT CAME ON BUT AT THE TIME I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT STAYING ON THE ROAD AND WAS NOT LOOKING TOO CLOSELY AT THE DASH. THE SECOND INCIDENCE WAS ON JAN. 16, 2014. ALL THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE FORD DEALER. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT AND OFFERED NO HELP. *TR

NOTICED WHILE WASHING MY CAR THAT THE PAINT ON MY 2012 MUSTANG WAS BLISTERED ON THE HOOD . SEARCHED THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR OTHER PEOPLE THAT EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING AND TO MY DISMAY FOUND THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH PAINT BLISTERING AND ALUMINUM CORROSION ON THE MUSTANGS. I HAVE 45,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND HAVE SURPASSED THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. I TALKED TO A LOCAL DEALER AND ASKED IF THIS IS CONSIDERED UNDER THE CORROSION WARRANTY AND HE SAID THE CAR HAS TO BE EATEN CLEAR THROUGH BEFORE THEY CONSIDER UNDER THAT PART OF THE WARRANTY. UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT FORD SENT TO THEIR DEALERS DETAILING THE ALUMINUM CORROSION & PAINT BLISTERING PROBLEM AND HOW TO SERVICE IT. FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY, A LOUD BANGING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT BRAKES WERE ERRONEOUSLY BEING APPLIED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DECELERATE. THE CONTACT TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND ONCE RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50.

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR STARTED ACTING LIKE IT WAS RUNNING OUT OFF GAS. THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP. WE NOW KNOW THE PROBLEM OCCURS ONLY WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN THE BACK SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVER. WE HAVE DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES. SITTING IT THE BACK SEAT CAUSES SOMETHING TO SHORT OUT AND THE CAR DIES. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS IN REAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND WE ARE LUCKY NO ONE WAS HURT. *TR

THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WILL GRIND WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN FIRST IN SECOND GEAR UNTIL THE CAR IS FULLY WARMED UP. SOMETIMES IT LOCKS YOU OUT OF SECOND GEAR WHEN YOU WANT TO SHIFT INTO IT. A FORD DEALERSHIP HAS SAID THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION BUT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. FIRST AND SECOND GEAR DO NOT WORK THE SAME WHEN COLD AND WARM. FIRST AND SECOND GEAR BECOME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT BETWEEN WHEN IT IS BELOW 30 DEGREES OUTSIDE. *TR

AFTER DRIVING FOR A TOTAL OF 6 HOURS WITH 1 STOP AT A REST AREA AFTER THE FIRST 3 HOURS OF DRIVING, I MADE ANOTHER STOP TO REFUEL. AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY AND MADE THE FIRST TURN AT 5-10 MPH, MY VEHICLE MADE A LOUD METALLIC CRANKING NOISE FOLLOWED WITH STRONG VIBRATIONS THROUGHOUT MY CAR. AFTER REFUELING, I RETURNED TO THE FREEWAY. IT SEEMED THAT THE NOISE AND VIBRATION ONLY APPEARS WHEN MAKING LEFT/RIGHT TURN AT LOW SPEED (5-10 MPH) AFTER A CONTINUOUS NON-STOP DRIVING OF AT LEAST 2-3 HOURS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER (JIM WILSON MOTORS) AND THEIR TECHNICIANS ISOLATED THE NOISE AND VIBRATION TO THE REAR AXLE DIFFERENTIAL. *TR

TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF GEAR AT 1ST AND 4TH GEAR. TRANSMISSION GEARS GRIND AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN SHIFTING INTO GEARS. REQUIRES CLUTCH TO BE PRESSED AT LEAST 1 SECOND TO BE PRESSED AND ADDITIONAL EFFORT IN ORDER TO SHIFT INTO GEAR AFTER GRINDING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE GEARS ARE INTO PLACE. MAKES DRIVING UNCOMFORTABLE AND RAISES SAFETY CONCERNS WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO VERIFY THE ISSUES WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND TOOK 40 DAYS TO COMPLETE REPAIRS. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN DRIVING. CURRENTLY DEALING WITH LEMON LAW CASE AGAINST FORD FOR A REPLACEMENT. FORD REFUSES TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE. THIS IS THE ONE OF 2 DEFECTS WITH MY CAR. THE SECOND ISSUE IS WITH THE REAR AXLE DIFFERENTIAL (ODI: 10556822). THE SECOND ALSO HAS ALSO BEEN VERIFIED BY FORD DEALER AND REPAIR ATTEMPTS WERE MADE. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. RAISES MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS WHILE DRIVING ON HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON THE ROAD SINCE MY CAR IS A RWD AND THE DEFECT IS IN THE REAR AXLE DIFFERENTIAL. *TR

WHEN IT MALFUNCTIONED THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER MY CAR, BLOWER ON MY AIR CONDITIONER CAME ON BY ITS SELF FULL BLAST. WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE A EIGHTEEN WHEELER HAD TO GO OFF THE INTERSTATE INTO THE GRASS TO KEEP FROM RUNNING MY CAR OVER! THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 OTHER TIMES STARTING AT ABOUT 13000 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS ONLY GETTING WORSE!! I CARRIED IT TO THE SHOP WHEN IT FIRST STARTED HAVING THIS PROBLEM THEY TOLD ME THEN THAT THE CONTROL MODULE WAS UNDER NATIONAL BACK ORDER AT IT WAS GOING TO BE 6 TO 8 WEEKS BEFORE THEY WOULD HAVE TO PART IN FOR MY CAR. THE DEALER WAS TOLD BY TECH SUPPORT TO REPLACE MY 2012 PART WITH A 2013 PART??? THEY DID THAT EVEN THOUGH THE PART NUMBER WAS DIFFERENT. THE NEXT TIME I CARRIED THE CAR IN THE SHOP FOR THE TRACTION CONTROL THEY KEEP MY CAR AND DID NOTHING.THE THIRD TIME I CARRIED IT TO THE SHOP FOR THE SAME THING THE TECH CONNECTED TO THE CAR TO THE COMPUTER THE ALTERNATOR SENT CRAZY WAVES TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND IT MESSED UP THE BATTERY THEY HAD TO CHANGE THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY. AND EVEN WITH EVERYTHING THEY HAVE DONE THE CAR IS STILL UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY TELL ME TO TAKE THE CAR AND WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEY WILL CHECK IT AGAIN. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE HURT OR WORSE SOMEONE KILLED!!! PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

UPON TAKING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT CAR STALLED AND LOST ALL ENGINE POWER. CAR STARTED AGAIN BUT STALLED JUST AS GUIDING TO BREAKDOWN LANE ON OVERPASS.

OUR 2012 FORD MUSTANG IS UNDER FULL WARRANTY. WHEN DRIVING ABOUT 5 MPH IN PARKING LOTS GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS WE NOTICED THERE IS A CREAKING/SQUEAKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION. WE TOOK OUR CAR TO THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM WHICH WAS NORTH PARK LINCOLN AND THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE OR FIND THE ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK IT THE MECHANICS SAID THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND THEY LUBED THE FRONT SUSPENSION. WELL THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE AND WE TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIND AN ISSUE WITH THE SUSPENSION. WHEN WE BOUGHT THE MUSTANG THE EXACT SAME NOISE OCCURRED IN THE REAR AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE BUSHINGS AND LINKS AND THE NOISE WENT AWAY.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE WHEN THE STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT. WHEN I WOULD TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, IT WOULD KEEP TURNING. A WEEK PREVIOUS, I HAD FOUND A BOLT ON MY FLOORBOARD AND I PUT IT IN MY CONSOLE. MY HUSBAND SAW IT, ASKED WHERE I HAD GOTTEN IT CAUSE IT HAD A RED TIGHT LOCK TOWARD THE TOP AND HE SAID WHERE EVER IT HAD FALLEN OUT FROM SHOULDN'T HAVE COME OUT. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD, I AM JUST THANKFUL I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON A HWY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2012 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED; WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE IN THE ENGINE BLOCK DUE TO PREMATURE OIL CONSUMPTION.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY FORD MUSTANG AFTER A RAIN STORM I HEARD A VERY LOUD WATER SWISHING NOISE AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY. I QUICKLY ASCERTAINED THAT THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S DOOR. I WAS EXTREMELY SHOCKED AND CONCERNED AND HURRIED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DOOR WAS TAKEN APART IN THE SERVICE AREA AND A LARGE QUANTITY OF WATER POURED OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO! WHEN THE DOOR WAS APART I COULD CLEARLY SEE THAT THERE WERE NUMEROUS WIRES AND CONNECTORS THAT COULD CLEARLY BE IN JEOPARDY FROM SPLASHING WATER AND THE DOOR INTERIOR WAS VERY WET. I NERVOUSLY DROVE THE CAR HOME AND COVERED IT AND HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT SINCE BECAUSE WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A LOT OF RAIN. I AM A DISABLED VETERAN WITH MEDICAL ISSUES NEED TO DRIVE MY CAR BUT I AM AFRAID TO. *TR

122512 WHEN GOING OVER SPEED HUMPS VEHICLE MAKES SQUEAKING NOISE. DEALER CHANGED OIL, ROTATED TIRES, AND COMPLETED A MULTI POINT INSPECTION. SUGGESTED ROTATING TIRES AND CHANGING AIR PRESSURE SHOULD HELP THE PROBLEM. THE SQUEAKING CONTINUED BUT DID NOT OCCUR ALL THE TIME. WHEN CALLING THE DEALERSHIP AFTER IT PERSISTED THEY SUGGESTED IT MAY BE THE COLD WEATHER. 042613 CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE AFTER HAVING TIRE PRESSURE AND TIRES CHECKED THE NOISE CONTINUED & WAS OCCURRING OVER EVERY SPEED HUMP, WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO BREAK PEDAL WOULD NOT GO DOWN ON 3 OCCASIONS, & WHEN MAKING SHARP LEFT TURNS THE CAR MADE A KNOCKING SOUND. I WAS ALSO DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE 20,000 MILE SERVICE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICED MY VEHICLE 042713 AND REPLACED THE LEFT/RIGHT INNER TIE RODS BUT WHEN THEY RETURNED MY VEHICLE THE WHEEL WAS NOT ALIGNED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THEIR MACHINE WAS BROKEN AND WHEN I COMPLAINED THEY ASKED ME TO BRING IT BACK THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY (050213) TO COMPLETE MY SERVICE. THEY ALSO MADE NOTE THERE WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE MY BRAKE PEDAL PROBLEMS. IN MY SERVICE REPORT THEY DID NOT NOTE THE OIL CHANGE, TIRE ROTATION, OR SERVICE. WHEN I MENTIONED THIS THE ADVISOR SAID IT WAS COMPLETED. 052913 I RETURNED MY CAR TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAD MY BRAKE PEDAL STICK 2 MORE TIMES SINCE MY LAST VISIT, THE NOISE GOING OVER SPEED HUMPS RETURNED, THE KNOCKED NOISE DURING HARD LEFT TURNS NOW ALSO OCCURRED DURING A RIGHT TURN, & LEFT SIDE TURN NOISE RETURNED. ALSO OIL SETTING READS ONLY 86%. AS OF TODAY (060213), I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY VEHICLE OR A CLEAR ANSWER AS TO WHAT IS WRONG OR WILL BE REPAIRED. AFTER CALLING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON FRIDAY (053113) & SATURDAY (060113), THE SERVICE ADVISOR ONLY SAID THEY ARE ORDERING PARTS, THE SALES DEPARTMENT WOULD GIVE ME A CALL, & THEY MAY REPLACE THE SWING ARM. *TR

VEHICLE TURNED RIGHT FROM A STOP, ONTO A TEXAS STATE HIGHWAY. SHIFTING MANUALLY FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR, THE VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL (APPARENTLY DUE TO LOSS OF TRACTION BECAUSE THERE WAS A COATING OF FINE SAND ON THE TIRES). THE VEHICLE CROSSED 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC, AND IN DOING SO, WENT INTO A ROLL-OVER, REPORTS STATING THE VEHICLE ROLLED 4 TIMES, AND STRIKING A UTILITY POLL THAT STOPPED THE ROLL. THE UTILITY POLL WAS STRUCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, BY THE WINDSHIELD PILLAR, CAUSING TERRIFIC DAMAGE AND CAVE IN. THE UTILITY POLL WAS BROKEN, ALMOST SNAPPED IN HALF (THE UTILITY POLE WAS REPLACED). WHILE THERE WAS NO PASSENGER OTHER THAN THE DRIVER, THE ONLY AIRBAG IN THE CAR THAT DEPLOYED WAS THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN. THE SEVERITY OF THE CRASH WOULD INDICATE THAT ALL OF THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED, TO SHIELD THE DRIVER AND POTENTIAL PASSENGERS. DRIVER ALSO WENT INTO THE WINDSHIELD, THE STEERING WHEEL BAG NOT DEPLOYING. POTENTIAL BACK SEAT RIDERS SHOULD BE PROTECTED IN SUCH A DEVASTATING CRASH AS WELL. PHOTO EVIDENCE WOULD INDICATE ALL BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER HAD NOT DISENGAGED PASSENGER BAGS (DRIVER/OWNER DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO DISENGAGE PASSENGER BAGS). ON ONE OCCASION A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THE CRASH, AN INFO LIGHT MESSAGE CAME ON FOR A FEW SECONDS WHILE OPERATING THE CAR, STATING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS WERE OFF. I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY. I HAD NOT TURNED THEM OFF. I STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR THE MESSAGE HAD DISAPPEARED. MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE DEGREE MY CAR WAS DESTROYED SHOULD DEPLOY ALL AIRBAGS. *TR

VEHICLE HAS CONTINUAL ISSUES GOING INTO 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. MANUAL TRANSMISSION. AFTER 11 MONTHS OF THIS ISSUE THE CLUTCH BURNED OUT, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I AM NOT STUCK WITH A REPAIR BILL BECAUSE FORD OR THE DEALERSHIP WILL DO ANYTHING. *TR

UPON GOING OVER SMALL SIZE SPEED BUMP, I NOTICED A CLUNKING/GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I JUST HAD THE BUMPER/QUARTER PANEL WORK DONE 2 DAYS AGO "FIRST TIME HITTING BUMPS". WAS TOLD TODAY THAT THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. WILL BE SEEING A DEALERSHIP SOON. *TR

WHEN TRAVELING OVER LARGE BUMPS IN THE ROAD SURFACE, THE VEHICLE WOULD EMIT AN AUDIBLE SQUEAKING/GROANING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END. IT TOOK MULTIPLE VISITS TO THE DEALER IN ORDER FOR THEM TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS EVEN THERE. I WAS FINALLY INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A TSB FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS. ON W/E MARCH 23, 2013 THIS PROBLEM BEGAN TO REEMERGE BUT THE DEALER HAS ONCE AGAIN DENIED THE EXISTENCE OF SUCH NOISE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I MUST WAIT FOR THE PROBLEM TO WORSEN BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING FURTHER. *TR

THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO EMIT AN AUDIBLE SQUEAKING/CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE REAR END WHEN TRAVERSING BUMPS OR POT RIDDEN ROADS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON 1/4/13 AND THEY DENIED THE EXISTENCE OF THE NOISE AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND IDENTIFIED THAT THE NOISE WAS IN FACT THERE, SO I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY DID FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS AND DETERMINED THE THE PROBLEM LIED WITH THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND THE CONNECTING ROD. THEY REPLACED ALL THREE AND WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE BACK, I NOTICED THAT BOTH NOISE PERSISTED SO I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC. HE DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM ORIGINATED FROM WORN OUT SWAY BAR BUSHINGS AND HE ALSO FOUND MY REAR AXLE TO BE LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY DISAGREED WITH MY MECHANIC AND FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE WITH MY SHOCKS AND THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAK WAS "NORMAL". MY MECHANIC ONCE AGAIN REEXAMINED EVERYTHING AND PERSISTED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH MY SWAY BAR. THE DEALER FINALLY AGREED TO REPLACE THE SWAY BAR AND BUSHINGS AND THEY ALSO REPLACED BOTH REAR SHOCKS. AFTER THIS, THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY AND HAS NOT RETURNED. NO FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAK. *TR

ON FEBRUARY 16, 2013 ON A CLEAR SUNNY DAY, WITHOUT WARNING (NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OTHER VISIBLE/AUDIBLE SIGNAL), MY MUSTANG BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND DIE WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON A LOCAL FREEWAY IN THE FAST LANE. EFFORTS TO DOWNSHIFT AND REV THE ENGINE TO KEEP IT ALIVE FAILED. I WAS FORCED TO PULL THE VEHICLE HARD OVER TO THE BREAKDOWN AREA IN THE CENTER OF THE HIGHWAY JUST AS THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED. EFFORTS TO RESTART IT FAILED - THE ENGINE CRANKED, BUT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. MY FAMILY (INCLUDING A 4 YEAR OLD) WERE WAS STUCK FOR 45 FRIGHTENING MINUTES WAITING FOR A TOW AS VEHICLES WHIZZED BY. *TR

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD BOUNCE ERRATICALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP ACCELERATING AND INDEPENDENTLY BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

IT WAS A CLEAR AND WARM DAY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. ROADS HAD NO DIRT, WATER, DEBRIS, ETC..I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35-40 AND HAD JUST GONE IN TO 4TH GEAR. MY 2012 V6 MUSTANG SUDDENLY SWERVED TO THE LEFT REALLY HARD FORCING ME IN TO THE LEFT LANE AND ALMOST IN TO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THEN TO THE RIGHT WHICH ALMOST MADE ME LOSE CONTROL. FELT LIKE EACH TIRE WAS LOCKING UP INDEPENDENTLY. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS FLASHING. FELT LIKE I GOT A FLAT AND THAT MY CAR WAS BRAKING ALL BY ITSELF. I TRIED TO THROTTLE UP A SECOND LATER TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND IT HAD NO RESPONSE. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PULLING OVER I HIT THE BRAKES AND THEY SOUNDED LIKE METAL ON METAL, FELT ROUGH AND LIKE THE ABS WAS ENGAGING. ONCE STOPPED I CHECKED THE TIRES AND ALL WERE FINE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED A SECOND. TURNED IT BACK ON AND ALL SEEMS FINE. THIS MADE ME ALMOST CRASH IN TO ANOTHER CAR!!!! THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON FORUMS LIKE THIS ONE HTTP://WWW.ALLFORDMUSTANGS.COM/FORUMS/2011-MUSTANG-TALK/352383-ADVANCTRAC-ALMOST-CAUSED-MAJOR-WRECK-9.HTML COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

I HAD TWO INCIDENTS OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG GT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PREMIUM PKG. THESE TWO INCIDENTS OCCURRED ON THE SAME DAY MARCH 5, 2013. THE FIRST WAS AFTER I PICKED UP MY CAR FROM ITS GARAGE OF SEVERAL WEEKS AT LUNCH AND DROVE BACK TO WORK. I HAD GONE ABOUT TWO BLOCKS FROM MY GARAGE AND WAS BRAKING TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN WHEN THE CAR DOWN SHIFTED AND ACCELERATED BY ITSELF WHILE I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I WAS GOING ABOUT 5 MPH WHEN THIS ALL STARTED. IT LASTED FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS AND THEN THE CAR RELEASED AND STOPPED THE ACCELERATION AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND MAKE MY RIGHT HAND TURN. I CONTINUED ON BACK TO WORK AND COMPLAINED TO MY CO-WORKER ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND HOW I WAS BEGINNING TO BECOME AFRAID OF THE MUSTANG. HE IS MY WITNESS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING BEFORE THE SECOND INCIDENCE OCCURRED. LATER ON I LEFT WORK TO GO HOME AND ON THE WAY HOME IT HAPPENED AGAIN A SECOND TIME ONLY THIS TIME MUCH STRONGER. I WAS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC GOING UNDER INTERSTATE HWY 820 BRIDGE IN FORT WORTH TO GO UNDER THE BRIDGE AFTER GOING THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON EACH SIDE TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN TO GET ON THE WEST BOUND IH820. WELL BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC YOU HAVE TO STOP AT ONE LIGHT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BRIDGE AND THEN AGAIN STOP TO GET THROUGH THE SECOND LIGHT ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BRIDGE TO TURN LEFT. ANYWAY THERE WAS A LARGE SEMI-TRUCK HAULING ROCKS IN FRONT OF ME AND I STAYED BACK ABOUT 60 FEET SO AS NOT TO GET THE ROCKS ON NEW CAR. HE WENT DOWN TO THE OTHER LIGHT WHICH WAS RED AND STOPPED I WAS GOING ABOUT 5 MPH AGAIN AND STARTED TO BRAKE WAY BACK FROM HIM BECAUSE OF THE ROCKS AND THE RED LIGHT. THE CAR AGAIN ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I FOUGHT IT THE WHOLE WAY BUT IT WOULD NOT LET RELEASE TILL 15 FEET FROM TRUCK. I THEN CRASHED. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! *TR

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

(2ND OWNER) EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE SHIFTER/ SHIFTER LINKAGE. THE VEHICLE MISSES SHIFTS AND WON'T ENGAGE MAINLY DURING 2ND-3RD SHIFTS. FOR A PERFORMANCE AUTOMOBILE THIS IS THE WORST CLUTCH AND SHIFTER COMBINATION I HAVE EVER SEEN. SHIFTER CONSTANTLY WILL NOT ENGAGE AND ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS HAS POPPED OUT OF GEAR DUE TO NOT BEING FULLY ENGAGED. LINKAGE SOUNDS CLUNKY AND IS NOT SMOOTH IN ANY WAY. *TR

V6 AUTOMATIC SHIFTING PROBLEMS. VEHICLES TRANSMISSION HAS HESITATION UPON ACCELERATION. OFTEN WHILE MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY, OR CHANGING LANES TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE. UPON ACCELERATION RPM'S WILL RISE BUT VEHICLE DOES NOT INCREASE SPEED. FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS IT SHOULD. *TR

TRANSMISSIONS 3RD GEAR SYNCHRONIZATION PLATE FAILED. THE CAR IS LOCKED OUT OF THAT GEAR. *TR

I DRIVE A 2012 V6 MUSTANG 2DR COUPE BASE .I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ONTO I40/I85 WHEN TRIED GO TO SECOND GEAR WHEN IT WOULD NOT GO. I TRIED FORCING IT BUT WAS AFRAID I WOULD SNAP THE SHIFTER SHAFT SO I WAS FORCED TO SLOW AND THEN IT FINALLY WENT INTO 2ND GEAR. THIS WAS THE OTHER DAY 1/12/13. SO THIS IS NOT FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SAME THING WHEN YOU GET ON THE PEDAL THIS HAPPENS AND ON OCCASION IT WILL GO INTO 2ND BUT WILL GRIND.THIS HAS HAPPENED MAYBE 10-20 TIMES BOTH GRINDING AND JUST NOT GOING INTO 2ND GEAR. SO I KNOW THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH FORD AND THE MUSTANGS OF 2011 AND 2012 FROM OTHER MUSTANG OWNERS I HAVE TALKED TO EITHER ON FORUMS OR IN PERSON. WHEN I ATTENDED MUSTANG WEEK IN MYRTLE BEACH SC IN 2012 SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD THIS ISSUE AS WELL. SO WHAT CAN I DO? THE DEALERS THAT I HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP TO IN MY AREA HAVE TOLD ME IT WAS THE WAY I PUSH IN CLUTCH ( CLASSIC RESPONSE) I FIND HARD TO BELIEVE SINCE I AM 34YR AND HAVE HAD 9 VEHICLES IN MY LIFE ALL MANUALS AND I SHIFT ALL THE SAME THROUGH EVERY GEAR. MY HANDS ARE TIED CAUSE NOW MY WARRANTY IS OUT. I HAVE MY 4YR SON WHO RIDES WITH ME ALOT AND I AM A DAILY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE AND I AM CONCERNED OF MY SONS AND MY SAFETY. PLEASE HELP. *TR

THE REAR DEFROST CABLE DETACHED FROM MY WINDSHIELD CAUSING ME NOT TO BE ABLE TO DEFROST THE REAR WINDOW. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AS I LIVE IN A COLD WEATHER AREA AND I CANNOT KEEP THE BACK WINDOW CLEAR. I HAVE SEEN A FEW COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS ON FORD FORUMS. *TR

THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE STARTED WHEN I TRIED TO START IT. WHEN I TURNED THE KEY THE VEHICLE TOOK A FEW SECONDS LONGER THAN USUAL TO START UP. AS I BEGAN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS OUT OF 40MPH AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO HAVE HIGH RPM. WHEN I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AT A GAS STATION AND TRIED TO START IT BACK UP. VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND I HAD TO GET IT JUMPED. VEHICLE STILL DOESN'T SHIFT GEARS. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 1 YEAR AND 1 MONTH OLD SINCE I PURCHASED IT. *TR

MY NEPHEW LOST CONTROL OF HIS SIX SPEED 2012 MUSTANG WHILE DRIVING ON MOUNTAIN ROAD AND WAS KILLED. HE WAS DOWNSHIFTING INTO LEFT CORNER OR ROAD THEN ROAD TURNS RIGHT UPHILL (LIKE AN "S" SHAPE). PERHAPS THE POWER TRAIN HAD AN ISSUE.? *TR

TODAY IS NOV. 16, I HAVE MY CAR AT THE DEALER NOW BECAUSE IT WON'T SHIFT INTO 3 GEAR AT RED LINE AND THE FIFTH GEAR SYC IS OUT, FORD SAYS THEY CAN FIX PROBLEM, THERE PULLING THE WOOL OVER YOUR EYES, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAD MY CAR AT THE DEALER,THEY PUT ANOTHER CLUTCH PEDAL AND SPRING IN IT TO SOLVE 2 TO 3 SHIFT. TOOK IT OUT SAME PROBLEM, BOUGHT A EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT SHIFTER TOP BRAND STILL HAS PROBLEM,SO IT HAS TO BE THE TRANNY. DON' LET THEM BS YOU THERE IS A MANGER PROBLEM WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC OR TRYING TO PULL OUT TO PASS THIS TRANNY WON'T RESPOND AND YOUR IN TROUBLE WITH THE OTHER TRAFFIC.NOW THERE FIXING THE SYC AND THE 2 TO 3 SHIFT AGAIN, SOMEBODY HAS TO INVESTIGATE WHAT IS FORD HIDING. LOOK ON THE WEB SITES THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME 6 SPEED, THANKS FOR LETTING ME BLOW OF SOME STEAM, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
