2016 Ford Mustang 2 DR RWD

Around September of 2021 the backup camera on my 2016 Ford Mustang convertible began to fail to show a viewable image. After visiting a dealer who wanted $500 to replace the camera, I watched this video from a Ford Master Mechanic to realize my problem (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71Onbo8PgrY). Upon examination, I discovered that there were two zip ties, one in the trunk and the other at the body, severely restraining the free movement of the wiring as the trunk open/close. I clipped those zip ties and then carefully opened the wiring cover at the junction of the trunk and body. Several of the wires in the harness, including a coaxial cable, showed stripping of the wire's plastic cover and wire damage from the severe constraint caused by the tie's compression. This is clearly a factory manufacturing error and should be recalled for replacement or repair.

Many times, the passenger door has unlocked and opened while the vehicle was in motion. The door ajar light will come on and it happens without warning at various speeds. I am the original owner and the car has approximately 28,000 miles.

I would like to file a complaint against Ford in regards to a door latch issue with my 2016 Mustang convertible. Starting in April 2021, the passenger side door will become unlatched on it's own while driving even with doors locked. It doesn't open entirely but enough to trip "door ajar" light and interior lights. Since that time in April it happened in June of 2021 and again in August after which I took car to a dealer. Door came unlatched at normal speeds between 40 and 60 mph. The car is under an extended warranty from Ford and the car now has approximately 37,000 miles on it. I am the original owner. The dealer kept car for about a weeks time and said they could not duplicate it. They told me warranty wouldn't honor it since they couldn't duplicate the issue and it would cost around $600 to fix possible issues. They asked me several questions implying I was imagining it or I didn't know what I was talking about. I've been driving for about 50 years. Since August, it has happened 2 more times, once at highway speed on 10/17/21 and again yesterday, 01/11/21 also at highway speed. This time my son was sitting in passenger seat. He is a Ford trained mechanic although he doesn't work for Ford but works on Ford police fleet cars. I do believe this is a safety issue but Ford will not address the issue. I took it to Ford corporate and they backed the dealer. I believe it will only get worse as time progresses. Wouldn't cover under warranty but if I wanted to pay they would do whatever I wanted them to do.

Purchased the car around 40k miles. Did all the maintenance required for 3-4 years with it now at 98k miles. On the evening near Christmas eve as i was at the red light making a right turn i heard clank from the bottom of my engine, then metal pieces were falling off to the ground. Smoke was coming out from the engine, with the oil pressure illuminating light on. I pulled over to see a trail of oil, while looking under I saw a big whole on the bottom of the engine block. Good thing it didn't happened when I was driving at a higher speed and I was by myself vs having my kids with me. Geico would not cover my blown engine, and ford knows this is a known issue referring to "Ecoboom" but i no longer have warranty with them. Car has been sitting at the shop pending 6500 to have the engine replaced. With covid times we are living in right now i dont know what else to do.

Steering wheel airbag did not deploy in a high speed crash. The knee airbag DID deploy. My daughter was in an accident with another vehicle. The other vehicle was traveling about 40 mph. It was a very high impact crash that launched by daughters car about 30 feet. The steering wheel airbag did not deploy. As a result my daughter hit her and and received a severe concussion. She was wearing a seat belt. The vehicle is in the process of being classified as "totaled" by insurance company but they have not inspected the specific airbag issue. There were no warning lamps or messages indicating the airbag was non-functional.

Right rear turn signals and break lights occasionally fail to work. Turning the car off and on 3-4 times temporarily resolved the issue but eventually this temporary fix failed and I was told the entire rear tail light assembly would need to be replaced. An alternative to this total replacement might be found in Ford Special Service Message 47429 where Ford will reprogram the body control module which supposedly corrects the issue.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Mustang. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the driver’s side door would unlock without warning. The contact stated that the door ajar warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000. It is both driver's side and passenger side door that would open not unlock. It would open into the second stage. Happens regularly and at different speeds on different road conditions.

I have had my 2016 mustang for 5 years already with 29k miles , my warrantee has expired. I recently notice I had check engine light for P0456 Evaporative Emission Leak. I took the car to get smoke test by my local shop mechanic and it came that there fuel vapor coming out of capless filler neck,since every ford model after 2013 don't have gas cap nomore I would have to replace the whole gas filler pipe which is around $500 for part and labor. In other cars you can just change gas cap for 20$ buh since in my case my car doesn't have gas cap i would have to replace the whole gas pipe filler and ford doesnt offer any gas cap for my car. I feel like if i do change my gas filler pipe , mabey couple years from now it's gona start giving same check engine problem. I also feel safety concern i do live in Arizona where gets really hot and with fuel vapor coming out capless filler it might cost a fire. I have 3year daughter that likes to ride in my mustang but i don't let her intill this gets fix i don't want her smelling gas . Im hoping with this recall ford can fix the issue and work on better design and or make a gas cap to fix evap leak without having to spend hundreds of dollards.thank you

My backup camera, GPS, and satellite radio lost connection. I could not see behind me or find my location. The wiring harness going to the trunk stopped working. Dealership told me it was due to a “faulty design from the factory” and that it was from “opening and closing the trunk too much.” They replaced it, forced me to pay nearly $600, and told me to keep my receipts in case it ever becomes a recall. Not sure if this applies to every model or just the convertibles. I still see glitches periodically even with the new one.

Engine threw a rod and damaged several pistons. Car has only 86,000 miles on it. Routine maintenance was done on schedule. No warning lights or symptoms were present before the incident. This will now require a full engine replacement. The incident happened while driving causing a major loss of power and eventually the inability to safely get my vehicle out of traffic. My car is still sitting at my mechanic and is available for inspection. It was only diagnosed and no repairs have been performed. The current COVID situation has made it impossible to even secure a replacement engine. Ford should be held accountable based on the number of related issues reported. I’m now paying on a car I can’t drive or repair l.

Clutch pedal failed. Welds broke away from break clutch housing. Resulting in the inability to disengage transmission. I was forced to use the breaks to stall the vehicle. Towed to repair shop. Replacement part was not available. Had the shop weld clutch pedal back to the assembly. See pictures.

The vehicle is having the same issues as the 2015 and 2017 models. The passenger door will unlock and unlatch by itself while driving. Luckily the 4 times it has happened it has been while driving in a straight path and not going on a turn in which the door could fully open and cause an accident or someone or something to fall out of vehicle. In Looking at the 2015/2017 recalls, Ford is replacing the "Pawl spring tab" My vehicle thereby fails to comply with the requirements (FMVSS) 206, DOOR LOCKS AND DOOR RETENTION COMPONENTS. Unfortunately there are no recalls at the moment.

1) I have a 2016 Ford Mustang. Within first 5k miles the reverse camera did not operate intermittently. Was told by dealer that no fix was available in 2016. The car is driven summer months only. As years went on I had same defect. They didn’t have a loaner available or I would have to rent a car myself for them to service the said defect. I left it at dealer a few times afterwards then they said they could not duplicate defect. Now they are charging it against my extended warranty and wanted me to pay deductible. I argued with service manager and deductible was waived. Here we are 2021 and defect still remains. Vehicle currently had 23k miles. 2) Also, had to buy new tires already. The Pirelli P-zero tires had major sidewall cracking. 3) Hood of vehicle has corrosion. Contacted Ford corporate with claim. Vehicle is out of warranty as of January 2021. They will make partial payment but not all.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the passenger and driver’s side doors would open inadvertently even though the doors were locked. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the Vin. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the Vin. The failure mileage was 85,000.

Passenger door opens randomly while driving at highway speeds. Lights come on door unlatched and opens. Even when no one is in the passenger seat.

Seat heater and cooler no longer working. Problem looks like the module burned the connector. Plastic female end is burnt black and the plastic is melted. Concerned that this is a fire safety issue

Consistent failure of mustang air conditioning evaporator consistent with Ford TSB18-2256. Evaporator has failed 3 times, leading to at least one A/C compressor replacement. Failed evaporators are not available. Vehicle has less the 40k miles. It is unsafe for driver during extremely hot days. The problem has been reproduced and serviced by ford dealerships. There were no major symptoms prior to failure. Just slowly degrading AC performance.

Random smell of burning electrical wiring soo strong I thought the car was catching fire, I had to pull over and check for smoke but didn’t find any. A few days later I realized the heated seats stopped working… did some Research and found the plug connector underneath the passenger seat melted.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Mustang. The contact stated while driving 35 mph, the contact heard an unlatching sound and an alert message of the door being ajar. The contact noticed that the front passenger’s side door was slightly opened. The contact pulled over to the side road and closed the door however, the failure recurred several times. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who inspected the vehicle and diagnosed the failure with the door latches. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,200.

BACKUP CAMERA NOT WORKING. CAR HAS POOR VISIBILITY WHEN BACKING UP WITHOUT THE CAMERA. MESSAGE SAYS CAMERA NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER SAID IT?S THE WIRING HARNESSES AND WANTS $900.00 TO REPLACE . FORD HAS BAD DESIGN WITH THE SHORT CABLE IN THE TRUNK AND THE MATERIAL USED TO WRAP THE WIRES.

DOORS OPEN FLYING WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION

THE REAR CAMERA HAS GONE OFF AND ON FOR MONTHS NOW IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL..THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THERE HAVE BEEN MANY WITH THIS PROBLEM THE HARNESS IN THE TRUNK GOES UP AND DOWN WITH THE OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE TRUNK CREATING STRAIN ON THE WIRES CAUSING CAMERA FAILURE.. DEALERSHIP WANTS 1000 TO FIX THIS AND MY CAR HAS 32000 MILES ON IT THE EMERGENCY BREAK STICKS BECAUSE THE SLEVING AROUND IT GETS STUCK NOT ALLOWING THE RELEASE OF THE BREAK

THE HEATED AND AIR CONDITIONED SEATS STOPPED WORKING ALTHOUGH THE DASH INDICATOR SHOWS THAT IT IS ON. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET SHOWS THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON 2015-2016 MUSTANG MODELS. THE CONNECTOR UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT SHOWS A SEVERELY BURNED CONNECTION AS INDICATED IN THE ATTACHED PHOTO. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED VIA A RECALL.*DT

HEATED AND COOLED SEATS STOPPED WORKING. I CHECKED SOME FORUMS AND FOUND OUT IT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THIS PIN FOR THE GROUND ON THE WIRE ASSEMBLY THAT CONTROLS THE SEAT IS THE ONLY ONE, AND IT IS COMMON FOR IT TO COMPLETELY BURN OUT AS SEEN IN THE PICTURE. AS IT'S IN THE CABIN, UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SEAT, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR IT TO BE BURNING THIS WAY.

TRANSMISSION WILL GO INTO NEUTRAL WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY 280 A HIGHLY TRAVELED STATE HIGHWAY IN ALABAMA, CAUSED BY A BAD TRANSMISSION OUTPUT SENSOR

HEATED COOLED SEATS ARE NOT WORKING. CHECKED THE CONNECTOR PAN UNDERNEATH THE SEAT AND THERE'S A BURNT AREA ON BOTH THE PIN AND ON THE MODULE

UPDATE INFORMATION THE PROBLEM IS THE BACKUP CAMERA. POOR DESIGN AND INSTALLATION WITH POSSIBLE SHORTNESS OF LENGTH OF WIRING CREATING TOO MUCH TENSION. ANY DEVICE SAFETY DEVICES NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. THE OTHER PROBLEM LAST MARCH I HAD TO PAY IS THE THIRD BACKUP LIGHT BECAUSE OF POOR WIRING DESIGN.

L LAST MARCH 2020 I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR INSPECTION AT MY FORD DEALERSHIP (WYNNE FORD HAMPTON VA) AND INSPECTOR FAILED MY STATE INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THE BACKUP LIGHT NOT WORKING. THE ELECTRICAL WAS REPAIRED. NOW MY BACKUP CAMERA IS NOT WORKING. SAME PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL WIRING. OSHA STD HAS A QUALITY WORKMANSHIP. FORD HAS MADE A POOR WORKMANSHIP FOR THESE SAFETY DEVICES. NEED A RECALL AT NO EXPENSE FOR CONSUMERS FOR THEIR POOR WORKMANSHIP RELATED TO SAFETY. TOO MANY INDIVIDUALS REPORTED WITH THE SAME ISSUES.

IN MY 2016 FORD MUSTANG ECOBOOST CONVERTIBLE, THE PASSENGER DOOR HAS OPENED (UNLATCHED) MANY TIMES WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN WRECKED DUE TO MY KNOWLEDGE AND THE CARFAX. THIS DOESN'T OCCUR OFTEN, BUT WHEN IT OCCURS, IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES IN THAT DAY. IT USUALLY OCCURS WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR 2015 FASTBACK MUSTANGS FOR THIS ISSUE. BUT I PRESUME THERE IS A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH 2016S.

APPROXIMATELY 31,000 MILES BUT WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED DUE TO LAPSE OF TIME - HE A/C HAS FAILED DUE TO WHAT THE DEALERSHIP CALLED A KNOWN ISSUE; HOWEVER, EVEN THOUGH MILEAGE WOULD STILL BE UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE CAR IS GREATER THAN 3 YEARS OLD THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS COSTLY REPAIR

BURNED ELECTRICAL CONNECTER CONTROLLING FRONT SEAT HEATING AND COOLING. THE FOLLOWING IS FROM THE REPAIR WORK ORDER: #1 91MBZS SEATS INTERNAL GUEST STATES HAVC FOR FRONT SEATS NOT GETTING COLD OR HOT BURN CONNECTOR GOING TO THE HVAC CONTROL UNIT UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I STARTED OFF MY CHECKING POWER TO THE HVAC MODULE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A SHORT BEFORE THE CONTROL UNIT. I REMOVED THE SEAT AND HVAC MODULE TO CLEAN THE PINS ON IT THAT WERE AFFECTED BY THE CONNECTOR. AFTER THAT I REPLACED SEAT HARNESS THAT GOES TO THE HVAC CONTROL MODULE. I THEN PUT THE SEAT BACK IN AND CLEARED THE CODES. BOTH THE HEATED AND AIR CONDITIONED FUNCTION OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT WORK. QTY PART NUMBER DESCRIPTION UNIT TOTAL 1 MBEU5Z14A699C WIRE ASSY INTERNAL TOTAL PARTS: 0.00

IN MY 2016 FORD MUSTANG ECO-BOOST, I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE AIR WAS NOT AS COOL AS IT WAS IN THE PAST. I DID NOT PAY MUCH ATTENTION AS I DID NOT HAVE FAR TO DRIVE. THE NEXT TIME I STARTED THE VEHICLE THE AIR CONDITIONING HAD STARTED TO BLOW WARM AIR, AFTER AWHILE I NOTICED A WHITE FILM ON THE INTERIOR OR THE CABIN. I LOOKED UP SEVERAL FORUMS ON WHAT THIS ISSUE COULD BE AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE MUSTANG OWNERS OF THIS YEAR THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE EVAPORATOR CORE. SO I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEY INFORMED ME IT WOULD COST $1900 TO FIX THE SYSTEM DUE TO THE LABOR OF TAKING OUT THE DASH. I HAVE BEEN A FORD OWNER ALL MY LIFE AND THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION, CLUNKING AND KNOCKING FROM CLUTCH WHILE DRIVING, WILL NOT ENGAGE INTO GEAR SMOOTHLY, LOCKED OUT OF GEAR DURING ACCELERATION, KNOCKING FROM TRANSMISSION WHEN SHUTTING VEHICLE OFF, JERKING AND HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING AT LOW RPMS, INTERMITTENT VIBRATION WHEN DECELERATING,

WHILE COMING TO A STOP WITH THE CLUTCH PRESSED IN THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY TURN OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THIS HAS NOW JUST BEGAN HAPPENING, ALTHOUGH IT HAS NOW HAPPENED TO ME TWICE IN 1 MONTHS TIME. I HAVE ALSO BEEN READING ON S550 MUSTANG FORUMS (YEARS 2015 - PRESENT) THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS. IT SEEMS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE OR SOMETHING AS THERE ARE PEOPLE WITH COMPLETELY STOCK CARS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THIS, AND ALSO PEOPLE WITH 2018+ NEWER MUSTANGS AS WELL.

AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 5 MONTHS (59,000 MI) THE ENGINE BLEW UP WHILE DRIVING 60MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND DROPPED ALL OF ITS OIL. THE ECOBOOST MUSTANGS ARE INCREDIBLY PRONE TO THIS ISSUE AND FORD IS JUST SWEEPING THEM UNDER THE RUG. FORD HAD MY CAR FOR 4 MONTHS WHEN IT WAS MISFIRING (WHICH IS HOW "ECOBOOM" BEGINS) AND REPLACED ALMOST EVERYTHING UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY MINUS THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND TURBOCHARGER. WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK IT STARTED TO JUMP TIMING THEN MISFIRE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STOPPED. THEN THE ENGINE BLEW UP.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING I HAD MY DEFROSTER ON, AND I NOTICED THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTED TO FOG UP, BUT NOT THE DRIVER SIDE. WHEN I GOT TO A RED LIGHT, I FELT THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWING COLD AIR INSTEAD OF HOT AIR WHICH CAUSED ME NOT TO SEE WELL DUE TO HALF THE WINDSHIELD BEING FOGGED UP. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF OWNERS WITH 15-17 MUSTANGS HAVE THIS ISSUE AND IT HAS TO DO WITH THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR. I REPLACED THAT PART AND INSTALLED IT AND IT WORKED FOR 2 DAYS AND WENT OUT AGAIN. AS IT GETS COLDER I FEAR THIS IS GOING TO CREATE MORE OF A SAFETY HAZARD. I TRULY FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY FORD CONSIDERING THIS IS A SAFETY FUNCTION.

EVAPORATOR CORE LEAK

THE HEATED/COOLED SEATS STOPPED WORKING. FOUND A BURNED PIN IN THE CONNECTOR UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT.

REAR VIEW CAMERA FAILURE, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REVERSE THE REAR VIEW CAMERA WILL GO BLANK, OR GET DISTORTED . BECAUSE OF THIS IT SEVERELY DIMINISHES REAR VISIBILITY.

AC HAS STOPPED WORKING... AGAIN! CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED TWICE UNDER WARRANTY. NOW OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE OF AGE. CAR HAS 23K MILES 2 TIMES FULL REFRIGERANT CHARGE HAS VENTED TO ATMOSPHERE, A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW! THOUSANDS, IF NOT TENS OF THOUSAND MUSTANGS ARE AFFECTED

I SEE THE NEWS ABOUT THE NEW RECALL OF REAR-VIEW CAMERAS GOING BLANK AND NOT SHOWING IMAGES. THE NEW RECALL IS ONLY FOR 2020 MODELS BUT MY 2016 MODEL HAS HAD THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE LAST YEAR AND 1/2. I ONLY HAVE 20K MILES ON MY MUSTANG. REAR VIEW CAMERA WORKS SOMETIMES BUT OTHER TIMES IS BLANK AND MESSAGE ON SCREEN SAYS CAN'T DISPLAY IMAGE. OCCURS WHEN IN REVERSED WHILE BACKING UP.

2016 FORD MUSTANG V6 CONVERTIBLE WITH 75,000 MILES. I WENT INTO THE GAS STATION FOR 3 MINUTES, CAME OUT AND CAR WOULD CRANK BUT NOT TURN OVER. CAR NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO AUTO MECHANIC. TURNS OUT THE FUEL PUMP WAS GARBAGE. THE CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. RIDICULOUS. ALSO, AROUND 40,000 MILES, IT STARTED TO SOUND LIKE I WAS DRIVING A COVERED WAGON, AS EVERY BUMP IN THE ROAD MADE THE CAR SOUND AS IF IT WAS GOING TO FALL APART. THE MECHANIC TELLS ME 3 OF THE 4 CONTROL ARMS (SUSPENSION) ARE COMPLETELY SHOT. AGAIN, RIDICULOUS. JUNK CAR. I'VE HAD DOZENS OF CARS AND MANY WITH WELL OVER 120,000 MILES AND NEVER ONCE HAVE I DEALT WITH A FUEL PUMP NOR CONTROL ARMS. AGAIN, THE CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. ALL PARTS FOR THESE 2 FIXES HAVE BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR A MONTH. I MUST NOT BE THE ONLY ONE DEALING WITH THESE 2 ISSUES. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!

THIS MODEL HAS KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE A/C SYSTEM. A DEFECT IN THE EVAPORATOR CORE CAUSES POOR A/C PERFORMANCE, FOR WHICH THERE IS A POSTED TSB. I BELIEVE THERE IS POTENTIALLY A SAFETY ISSUE HERE WHICH WOULD WARRANT A RECALL. SINCE THE REFRIGERANT LEAKS INTO THE CABIN FROM THE EVAPORATOR CORE, THE WINDSCREEN FORMS A RESIDUE WHICH OBSTRUCTS DRIVER VISIBILITY, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS GLARE FROM THE SUN. DRIVER VISIBILITY IS A FACTOR IN THE PROBABILITY OF AUTOMOTIVE ACCIDENTS, THEREFORE THE COMMONLY DEFECTIVE A/C SYSTEM DIRECTLY IMPACTS THE SAFETY OF THIS MODEL. TO MAINTAIN PERFORMANCE OF THE A/C SYSTEM, IT MUST BE TOPPED OFF. BUT VISIBILITY SUFFERS AND THE WINDSCREEN MUST CONSTANTLY BE CLEANED. ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT REFRIGERANT THAT IS LEAKED IS CHRONICALLY INHALED BY OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE TOXICITY OF R134A, BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT IT BELONGS IN PEOPLES LUNGS. IF IS IT DANGEROUS TO DO SO, THEN I MUST REITERATE, THE COMMONLY DEFECTIVE A/C SYSTEM DIRECTLY IMPACTS THE SAFETY OF THIS MODEL. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT THIS ISSUE GETS MORE ATTENTION AND A SOLUTION IS PROPOSED. THANK YOU AND BEST REGARDS. *TR

AIR CONDITIONING IS FAILING AFTER 60,000 MILES. SUSPECT IT IS THE ALREADY WELL DOCUMENTED EVAPORATOR CORE GOING BAD.

WATER PUMP LEAKED COOLANT REQUIRING REPLACEMENT.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR UNLATCHES AND THE ALARM THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN COMES ON WHILE DRIVING 70 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY.THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN A 3 DAY SPAN WHILE TRAVELING ON A ROAD TRIP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM AND FIX THE ISSUE.

AT APPROXIMATELY 61,000 MILES, THE ORIGINAL ENGINE STOPPED WORKING. CYLINDER #3 GAVE OUT. POSSIBLY A LSPI CONDITION. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED UNDER CPO WARRANTY. MY NEW ENGINE HAS NOW GIVEN OUT AT 36,000 MILES. ON THE 1ST ENGINE, I CAME FROM FORD DEALER AFTER COMPLAINING OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COMING ON. OIL WAS CHANGED, CODES CLEARED. I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 4 CITY BLOCKS, ACCELERATED FROM A STOP LIGHT, AND THE ENGINE STARTED BLOWING WHITE SMOKE AND I PULLED IT OFF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE TO BE FULLY REPLACED, AT 61,000 MILES, A LONG BLOCK, NOT A SHORT BLOCK. ON MY SECOND ENGINE, WHICH HAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES ON IT, I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND AN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE. AFTER PARKING IT, THE NEXT TIME I STARTED IT UP IT WAS BLOWING WHITE SMOKE AGAIN. I DIAGNOSES AT THE DEALER IS UNDERWAY.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE DOORS WILL POP OPEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES RANDOMLY. SEEMS THE DRIVERS DOOR POPS OPEN THEN A SHORT TIME LATER THE PASSENGER DOOR POPS OPEN. THE TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED HAVE BEEN A COUPLE HOURS INTO A TRIP AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON RELATIVELY FLAT SURFACES.

THE STEERING IN MY 2016 FORD MUSTANG ECO BOOST WOULD BIND AT THE 11 O'CLOCK POSITION AND WOULD TAKE MUCH FORCE TO RETURN TO THE 12 O'CLOCK POSITION.THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE SITTING STILL. I RETURNED THE CAR TO FORD FOR SERVICE, WHO TOLD ME I HAVE A DEFECTIVE "STEERING GEAR" AND REPLACE THE STEERING GEAR FOR $3,000.00.

I HAVE A 2016 MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE ECO-BOOST WHICH IS JUST RECENTLY STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY PASSENGER DOOR OPENING WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE FIRST INSTANCE HAPPENED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND THE LAST ONE HAPPENED LAST WEEK ON JULY 22, 2020. THE SENSOR SYSTEM IN MY CAR DID ALERT US THAT THE DOOR WAS OPEN. I HAVE READ ON THE NEWS THAT THE MUSTANGS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT WHEN I CHECKED MY VIN I SEE NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN GET THEIRS REPAIRED UNDER A RECALL SINCE IT IS HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. IN THE FIRST INSTANCE WE WERE COMING TO AN INTERSECTION AND WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR THE STOP LIGHT. THE SECOND INSTANCE WE WERE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH. WE HAD TO GO INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE TO SHUT THE DOOR. IN THE FIRST INSTANCE WE HAD THE TOP DOWN AND IN THE SECOND INSTANCE WE HAD THE TOP UP AND THE WINDOWS ROLLED UP.

AIR CONDITIONER WAS BLOWING HOT AIR WHILE STATIONARY . SERVICE REPAIR STATED THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE EVAPORATOR COIL AND TO REPAIR IT THE COST IS $1700. BECAUSE THE COIL IS LOCATED BEHIND THE DASH THE WHOLE DASH HAS TO BE REMOVED TO GET TO THE COIL HENCE THE COSTLY REPAIR DUE TO WHERE THAT EVAPORATOR COIL IS LOCATED. SERVICE REPAIRMAN AT DEALERSHIP ORIGINALLY SAID ALTERNATOR WAS THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT STILL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED PER DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM WITH THE EVAPORATOR COIL APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN MUSTANGS WITH AS LITTLE AS 2000 MILES ON THEM. I FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM ALMOST A YEAR AGO WHEN MY CAR HAD ABOUT 37,000 MILES ON IT. DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED.

THE AC IN MY 2016 FORD MUSTANG HAS STOPPED WORKING AND I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE TO FIND THAT MANY 2016 FORD MUSTANG OWNERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. MY CAR IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AND ONLY HAS 20,000 MILES ON IT YET IS HAVING THIS MAJOR ISSUE.

ALL UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED ON FRONT OF CAR DUE TO SQUEAKING AND POPPING NOISES COMING FROM THEM. ALSO HEATED AND COOLED SEATS WENT OUT DUE TO PLUG SHORTING OUT.

CAR MOTION AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. CAR WAS TOAD FROM THE FREEWAY TO DRIVERS HOUSE. CAR LANDED SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AT A DITCH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS MORE THAN 80 MPH, A MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATING THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE DOORS WERE AJAR. THE CONTACT STATED WIND COULD BE HEARD ENTERING THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON 4 TIMES. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. LAMARQUE FORD LOCATED AT 3101 WILLIAMS BLVD, KENNER, LA 70065, AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.*DT

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS OPENED TWICE NOW WHILE DRIVING AFTER BEING CLOSED SECURELY. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE 2015 MUSTANG HAS A RECALL FOR THE DOOR LATCH. I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE.

THE EVAPORATOR CORE ON MY CAR HAS A LEAK AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, OUT OF WARRANTY AND WITH ONLY 4000 MILES ON IT, FOR $1800. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT; FORUMS AROUND THE INTERNET ARE FILLED WITH HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF CONSUMERS WITH IDENTICAL STORIES. FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM (TSB #: TSB18-2166, NHTSA ID #: 10143077), BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR BUYBACK PROGRAM, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THOUSANDS OF CARS ARE LEAKING R134, A TOXIC CHEMICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY HAZARD, INTO THE AIR. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IF CONSUMERS DON'T HAVE THE SPARE NEARLY $2000 TO SPEND ON REPLACING THE CORE, MEANING THE OLD ONE WILL CONTINUE TO LEAK INDEFINITELY.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL OPEN AND I GET A MESSAGE SAYING "PASSENGER DOOR AJAR". I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER TO SHUT THE DOOR. THIS HAPPENS INFREQUENTLY, BUT IT IS STILL DANGEROUS TO HAVE A DOOR THAT YOU THINK IS LOCKED OPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 4 TIMES SINCE I GOT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER OF 2019. *TR

I BEGAN TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING FROM INSIDE MY CAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I DISCOVERED THE BURNING SMELL WAS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN THE SEAT HEATER WAS ON. I UNPLUGGED THE WIRING HARNESS TO FIND THAT A PIN WAS BURNING AND MELTING THE PLASTIC. *TR

THE PASSENGER WINDOW KEEPS GOING UP AND DOWN WITHOUT THE SWITCH BEING USED. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND OFF IN MY DRIVEWAY.

ENGINE COOLING NOT WORKING. HOSES PROBABLY DEFECTIVE. FIRE RISK.

A/C STARTED TO BLOW HOT AIR. THE AUTO REPAIR STATED ITS THE EVAPORATOR NEED REPLACE, ITS A COSTLY JOB AND VERY COMMON.

CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE WHEN I DRIVE IT IN THE HIGHWAY NORMAL SPEED AND NOT ISSUES WITH MOUNTS. MECHANIC CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT.

TOOK MY CAR FOR INSPECTION AND REJECTED FOR 3RD HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT NOT WORKING. CAR ONLY HAS 31000 MILES. VERY COSTLY REPAIR.. NO POWER GOING TO LIGHT.FORD MADE POOR QUALITY LED SYSTEM FAILED. RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT HIGH NUMBER OF THESE LIGHT SYSTEM FAILED WITH LOW MILAGE. I BELIEVE OSHA HAS A REGULATION CONCERNING QUALITY OF WORK. A BETTER QUALITY OF LIGHTNING SYSTEM NEEDS TO DEVELOPED TO ANF FORD NEEDS TO REPLACE THE LIGHT SYSTEM WITHOUT ANY COST FOR CUSTOMERS. DEFINITELY A RECALL ITEM SINCE IT CAN GO OUT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING PLACING THE DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS BEHING THE CAR.

EVAPORATOR CORE WAS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY ON THE AIR CONDITIONER

WHILE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED I ATTEMPTED TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. MANY LIGHTS AND WARNINGS LIT UP LETTING ME KNOW I HAD NO BRAKE FLUID. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO FORD AND INSPECTED IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LINE HAD RUPTURED AND THE DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LINE HAD A 'BUBBLE' AND ALSO NEEDED REPLACEMENT.THIS WAS A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IF I WERE ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS BRAKE FAILURE IN THE 2016 MUSTANG.

THE PASSENGER WINDOW TRIES TO GO UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND SITTING STATIONARY EVEN WHEN MY CAR IS OFF

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT 8/28/2020. THE CAR WAS PUSHED OFF THE ROAD BY A TRACTOR TRAILER AND HIT A GUARDRAIL HEAD ON. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NOTICED A RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG THAT I NEVER RECEIVED. HOW MANY OTHER CARS ARE OUT THERE. THE CAR WAS A MUSTANG BOUGHT IN 2016 AND WAS TOTALED.

WHEN I HAVE MY FRONT RIGHT WINDOW DOWN ABOUT THREE INCHES AND ACCELERATE, I GET CAR EXHAUST INTO CABIN. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THE EXHAUST MOVES FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE OF THE MOVING CAR INTO THE CAR TRUNK AND THEN INTO THE CABIN OF MY CAR. I FIRST NOTICED THIS DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT AND SAID IT WAS PROBABLY A NEW CAR SMELL. I HAD IT CHECKED AGAIN THREE MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE BUT, AGAIN, MECHANIC HAD SAME OUTCOME. I FINALLY GOT FED UP WITH THE SMELL AND ASKED AGAIN 18 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. FORD SPENT WEEKS EXAMINING IT AND HAD A FORD TECHNICIAN ALSO EXAMINE THE CAR. FORD FOUND THE SMELL THIS TIME AND SAID ANOTHER MUSTANG LIKE MINE ALSO HAD THE SAME SMELL. FORD CLAIMED THE SMELL WAS NORMAL FOR THIS TYPE OF MUSTANG. I HAD AN EXPERT TEST THE CAR SEVERAL HOURS ONE AFTERNOON (SEE PART OF REPORT ATTACHED). HE FOUND THAT CARBON MONOXIDE WAS MUCH HIGHER IN THE TRUNK THAN IN THE CABIN. HE FOUND LEVELS AS HIGH AS 411 PPM IN THE TRUNK AND 14 PPM IN THE CABIN. HE CONCLUDED THAT EXHAUST MOVED FROM EXHAUST PIPE TO CAR TRUNK TO CAR CABIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED DRIVING AT 30 MPH, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ODOR COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT UNAWARE IF THERE WAS ANY LEAKS. THE CONTACT TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON WHICH RESUMED NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MONRO AUTO SERVICE AND TIRE CENTER 1769 KUSER RD, HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, NJ 08690, (609) 308-3139 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP, DRIVE BELT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V779000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE NHTSA HOTLINE TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,971.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN BEAUMONT TEXAS AT 70 MPH THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR JUST CAME UNLATCHED. THEN WITHIN 3 MINS THRE DRIVER SIDE DOOR DID THE SAME THING! WE OPENED THE REST OF THE WAY N RECLOSED. BUT THAT'S SCARY AT 70MPH!

DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN THE VACUUM PUMP THAT DRIVES THE BREAK BOOSTER IS CONNECTED TO THE CAM WITH A THREADED CAMSHAFT EXTENSION. THIS PART SHEARED OFF CAUSION THE VACUUMED PUMP TO LOOSE VACUUM AND THE BREAK BOOSTER TO UNEXPECTEDLY STOP FUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE INTERSTATE. THE FAILURE WAS NOTICED AFTER ATTEMPTING TO BREAK. THE RESIDUAL VACUUM PREVENTED THE BREAK LIGHT FROM ILLUMINATING TEMPORARILY. THE BREAKS BECAME DIFFICULT TO PRESS, ABS SPORADICALLY ENGAGED AND THE BREAKING SITUATION WAS UNCONTROLLED PLACING LIFE AND PROPERTY AT RISK.

VEHICLE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70+ MPH, PASSENGER DOOR SUDDENLY CAME LOOSE AND STARTED GETTING PASSENGER DOOR AJAR LIGHTS AND YOU COULD HEAR WIND PASSING INTO THE CAR. THANKFULLY THE PASSENGER WAS HOLDING THE DOOR AT THE TIME SO IT DID NOT FULLY OPEN. VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED.*DT*JB

I PURCHASED MY DREAM CAR FROM AUTONATION OF FREMONT/ HONDA. I DROVE 90 MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE PURCHASE THE SHELBY. UPON ARRIVAL, I MET WITH [XXX], SUPERVISOR IN SALES. BEFORE SIGNING DOCUMENTS, THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE CAR WAS ADVERTISED AT 45,900. [XXX] INDICATED THE PRICE WAS ADVERTISED WRONG AND WAS AT 47,500. [XXX] STATED TO MAKE UP THE PRICE DIFFERENCE, HE WAS GOING TO TINT THE WINDOWS AND ADD PAINT PROTECTION. LAST MONTH I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A CLAIM LAST MONTH FOR THE SWIRL MARKS AND FADING ON BUMPERS AND BREMBO BRAKES. WELL, AUTONATION INDICATED I DID NOT HAVE THE PAINT PROTECTION WARRANTY. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT MO, AND [XXX], GENERAL SALES MANAGER OF AUTONATION, NO RESPONSE. THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS, BUT THIS IS WHAT PUT IT OVER THE TOP. DURING SIGNING OF THE CONTRACT, THEY UP SOLD ME 6000 DOLLARS OF VARIES WARRANTIES. BY THE TIME I CAME HOME TO READ THE DOCUMENTS, I CANCELED ALL THE WARRANTIES. IT TOOK AUTONATION 2 MONTHS TO FIX THE DOCUMENTS AND AUTONATION STATED WE COULD NOT REMOVE WINDSHIELD INSURANCE. I STILL PAID 700 JUST TO GET THE DOCUMENTS IN ORDER. NOT ONLY THAT, [XXX] STATED MY BREMBO BRAKES SQUEAK BECAUSE THEY ARE "HIGH PERFORMANCE", HE DIDN'T FIX THE SQUEAK EVEN WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK WHEN IT WAS TINTED. BY FAR, THIS IS THE WORST CAR EXPERIENCE I EVER HAD. I CALLED AUTONATION COOPERATE AND THEY NEVER RETURNED MY CALL. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SEAT WARMER QUIT WORKING. UPON INSPECTION BY MECHANIC, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SEAT HEATER MODULE SHORTED AT MODULE; MELTED CONNECTOR. (OWNER ALSO REPORTED COULD SMELL AN 'ELECTRICAL BURN' SCENT AFTER USING REMOTE START WHERE THE SEAT WARMER IS AUTOMATICALLY SET.)

PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW & THE AIR CONDITIONING QUIT WORKING THE FIRST SUMMER I OWNED IT. WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, TOOK CAR TO FAMILY FORD AND THEY PUT FREON IN IT BUT IT LEAKED OUT, THEY REPLACED THE COMPRESSOR, PROBLEM PERSISTED. NEXT FOUND THAT THE COMPRESSOR WAS IMPROPERLY INSTALLED & THAT WAS REPAIRED. NOW WARRANTY IS EXPIRED & DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE COMPRESSOR & TOLD ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIRS. CAR HAS 16,000 MILES, GARAGE KEPT, AND HAS NEVER HAD WORKING AC.

MY CAR'S A/C BROKE DOWN WHILE DRIVING EARLY JULY OF THIS YEAR. IT TOOK FOUR VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP TO IDENTIFY THAT THE EVAPORATOR CORE WAS THE ISSUE. BEFORE THIS, THE SCHRADER VALVES, CONDENSER AND ASSOCIATED PARTS WERE REPLACED.

WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED, MY PASSENGER DOOR UNLATCHES AND I RECEIVE A "DOOR OPEN" WARNING ON THE DASH. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES INCLUDING SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE A PASSENGER WAS SEATED NEXT TO THE OPEN DOOR AND I FEEL IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO. I REPORTED IT TO FORD CORPORATE AND THEY ADVISED ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MORE THAN A DOZEN INSTANCES WITH MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN WARMER TEMPERATURES, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR RANDOMLY UNLOCKED. DURING THE FAILURE, THE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING MESSAGE DISPLAYED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER AND PLANET FORD SPRING (20403 INTERSTATE 45, SPRING, TX) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

JUST PICKED MY CAR UP FROM DEALERSHIP, DUE TO A BATTERY ISSUE THAT I PREVIOUSLY POSTED ABOUT, AND MY DRIVER SIDE VENTS ARE BLOWING WARM AIR. I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND JUST LIKE THE BATTERY ISSUE I REPORTED, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT WITH THE 2016 FORD MUSTANG. I WILL NOW HAVE TO BRING MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HOPE THAT THEY CAN GET AROUND TO DIAGNOSING IT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLS REGARDING THESE ISSUES, WHEN FORD IS OBVIOUSLY SELLING DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. MY CAR HAS 30,400 MILES TOMORROW WILL MAKE THE 5TH TIME IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP OVER THE PAST YEAR. INVESTIGATION INTO THESE CARS ARE OBVIOUSLY WARRANTED.

CAR WAS TAKEN TO FORD DEALERSHIP ON 09/04/2019, DUE TO MAJOR CORROSION ON POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL, WHICH HAD CAUSED ENTIRE BATTERY CONNECTOR TO CRUMBLE. FORD SAID IT WAS A BAD BATTERY AND REPLACED IT AT A COST OF $209 TO ME. THIS MORNING, 09/19/2019,I WALKED OUTSIDE AND FOUND ORANGE LIQUID (ASSUMING BATTERY ACID) ON CEMENT UNDER WHERE THE BATTERY IS LOCATED ON CAR. I OPENED HOOD AND FOUND THAT THE NEW BATTERY ALREADY HAS NEW CORROSION ON THE POSITIVE TERMINAL. I HAVE READ IN SEVERAL FORUMS THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR QUITE A FEW FORD OWNERS. OBVIOUSLY, THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE BATTERY BUT SOME UNDERLYING ISSUE THAT IS CAUSING BATTERY TO OVERCHARGE.

AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING. DEALER SERVICE TECH FOUND AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR IS LEAKING. VEHICLE MILEAGE 22968. SERVICE TECH INDICATED THAT THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE RECENTLY AND HE IS SCHEDULED TO REPLACE AN EVAPORATOR ON ANOTHER MUSTANG TOMORROW. REPAIR INVOLVES REMOVAL OF THE DASHBOARD AND COST OF THE PART ALONE IS OVER $1100. SIMILAR ISSUE LISTED MANY TIMES HERE AND MANY MORE TIMES ON DISCUSSION BOARDS AND FORUMS.

2016 FORD MUSTANG WITH 2.3L ENGINE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ENGINE STALLS WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT A STOPLIGHT AND DOES NOT RESTART MAKING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE AIR-CONDITIONING IN THE CAR STOPED WORKING. THE CAR ONLY BLOWS OUT HOT AIR NOW. I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT BUT THIS IS A MASSIVE PROBLEM FOR THE VEHICLE THAT A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS. THIS PROBLEM IS RAMAPNT AND THE CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD. FORD CLAIMS THEY HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR $50,000 DOLLAR CAR HAVING MECHANICAL FAILURES 3 YEARS AFTER IT WAS BUILT. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TOLD ME TO TALK TO THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENT AGENCY IF I DIDN'T LIKE IT

I AM POSTING ABOUT THE 2016 FORD MUSTANG. I WANTED TO ADD MY COMPLAINT BECAUSE I KNOW IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE FIXED FOR IT'S CUSTOMERS.IT IS A LEAK IN THE EVAPORATOR CORE WHERE THE AIR STOPS WORKING (BLOWING WARM AIR)

I WAS DRIVING CAR UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BROGHT VEHICLE TO LOCAL AUTOZONE AND WAS GIVEN A P144C CODE. I BROUGHT CAR TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD EVAP PURGE VALVE WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAD TO BE REPLCED. INVOICE ALSO SHOWS THAT PCM WAS UPDATED TO LATEST CALIBATRION.

MY CAR WAS PARKED AFTER DRIVING AROUND 2 MILES AND HAD BEEN OFF FOR AROUND 2 HOURS.WHEN I RETURNED TO CAR, IT WOULD NOT START AND GAVE ME A MESSAGE SAYING KEY WAS REQUIRED. DASHBOARD LIGHTS, RADIO, AIR BLOWER CAME ON BUT ENGINE WOULD NOT TURNOVER, JUST MADE CLICKING SOUND. I THOUGHT KEY FOB WAS PROBLEM SO TRIED THE SPARE ONE. WHILE WAITING FOR HUSBAND TO BRING EXTRA FOB I NOTICED AIR COMING OUT OF BENTS SMELLED LIKE SULPHER. WHEN SPARE FOB DID NOT FIX PROBLEM, WE CHECKED THE BATTERY AND FOUND THAT THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL HAD EXCESSIVE CORROSION AND IT WAS SO HOT THAT IT WAS BUBBLING AND THE TENINAL BOLT HAD COMPLETELY CORRODED AND FELL OFF UPON TOUCH. UPON INSPECTION, WE ALSO SAW THAT THE CORROSION HAD ALSO DAMAGED THE END OF THE BATTERY CABLE. FIVE DAYS PRIOR MY VEHICHLE WOULD NOT START AFTER DRIVING AROUND 30 MINUTES AND ALSO SAID "KEY REQUIRED" BUT WHEN I TOOK THE FOB APART TH O LOOK FOR BATTERY AND PUT IT BACK TOGETHER MY CAR STARTED ON THE NEXT TRY. OTHER THAN THAT INCIDENT, THERE HAD BEEN NO PRIOR WARNING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BATTERY AND I HAD NO ISSUES STARTING MY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOST ELECTRICAL POWER AND THE ENGINE STALLED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE CONTACT COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CARMODY FORD (1111 NY-29, GREENWICH, NY 12834, (518) 692-2246), BUT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. *JB

DRIVING (IN MOTION)AT A HIGH OR LOW SPEED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY CHANGE THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE STALLING WHICH COULD'VE CAUSE ME MY LIFE AND INNOCENT OTHER DRIVER THEIR LIFE WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING AS SOON AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 270 HIGHWAY IN MARYLAND. I TRIED TO DRIVE ON THE STREET TO PARK MY VEHICLE DURING A SLOWING SPEED THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN THAT A VEHICLE ALMOSTED REAR END MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE SUDDEN STOP AND STALLING .I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW LESS THAN 25000 MILES . I WAS RESEARCHING MANY FORD OWNERS HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH LESS OR HIGH MILES . WHY HAVEN'T FORD MAKE A RECALL FOR EVERYONE SAFETY. CODE P144C IS A COMMON PROBLEM REPORTED BY CONSUMERS

DOOR LATCH ALLOWS DOOR TO OPEN WHEN DRIVING. PAWL SPRING TAB IN DOOR MAY BE BROKEN AND WAS PART OF THE FORD 2015 RECALL TO FIX. MY CAR IS A 2016 BUT MADE WITH 2015 PARTS.MY DEALER WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM. RECALL # 16S30

AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR CRACKED AND LEAKING, CAUSING HOT AIR TO BE BLOWN FROM DRIVER SIDE AIR DUCTS. DIAGNOSIS PERFORMED BY FORD DEALERSHIP, REQUIRED REMOVE AND REPLACEMENT OF EVAPORATOR AND CONNECTING HOSES. TOTAL COST $1850.

FUEL EVAPORATOR VALVE FAULTY. VALVE WOULD STICK OPEN, CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL DIRECTLY AFTER FUELING. I ORDERED THE PART THROUGH A FORD DEALERSHIP. REPLACEMENT OF FUEL EVAPORATOR VALVE ELIMINATED THE ISSUE. PART COST $45

I DROVE UP TO MY GYM, GOT OUT OF MY CAR, LOCKED IT AS USUAL SO NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. WENT BACK OUT TO MY CAR ABOUT 30 MIN LATER AND SAW SMOKE BILLOWING FROM WINDOWS... OPENED MY DOOR PASSENGER SIDE AND MY GLOVE COMPARTMENT WAS THE SOURCE SO I OPEN IT AND ALL I SAW WERE FLAMES LEAPING FROM THE TOP OF THE COMPARTMENT AND FLAMES COMING OUTTA THE AIR VENTS. WITHIN MINUTES THE ENTIRE GLOVE BOX COMPARTMENT AS WELL AS THE DASH ITSELF MELTED ONTO THE FLOORBOARD. SOME GENTLEMAN FOUND A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND PUT IT OUT BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EVEN ARRIVED. IM JUST LUCKY I WASN'T IN IT BUT THIS HAD TO BE SOME MANUFACTURE DEFECT IN THE WIRING BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT IT STARTED ABOVE THE GLOVE BOX RIGHT WERE THE WIRE HARNESSES ENTER THE CAR THROUGH THE FIRE BREAK BETWEEN THE CAR AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD, CRACKING SOUND. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED HER THAT THE EVAPORATOR CORD WAS LEAKING AND THAT THE AIR COMPRESSOR NEEDED REPLACING. THE MECHANIC ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAULTY COMPRESSOR WAS RELATED TO THE NOISES SHE HEARD. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH NALLEY FORD SANDY SPRINGS (7555 ROSWELL RD, ATLANTA, GA 30350 (678) 809-5711) AND WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA TO FILE A SAFETY COMPLAINT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

ON FRIDAY, JULY 19, 2019, MY SON WAS DRIVING ON I-75 IN FLORIDA, GOING FROM UNIV OF TAMPA TO FERNANDINA BEACH. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (APPROX 70 MPH), THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR UNLATCHED - THIS HAPPENED TO HIM TWICE ON THE TRIP. HE PULLED OVER & HAD TO CLOSE THE DOOR. HE MENTIONED THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED TO HIM ONCE BEFORE A FEW WEEKS AGO. THERE IS A FORD RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR 2015 MUSTANGS BUT NO RECALL FOR 2016.*DT VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED 7/23/19. *JB

HELLO, I AM REPORTING ON STALL OF 2016 FORD MUSTANG ECO BOOST, WHILE WE ARE ON SIGNAL OR TRYING TO DRIVE VEHICLE IN RAMP SUDDENLY VEHICLE STOPS AND WHILE BRING THE STICK TO NEUTRAL AND TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE DOESN'T START. THIS HAS ENCOUNTERED ONCE AT HIGHWAY WHICH CAUSED A TRAFFIC JAM FOR NOT ABLE TO START VEHICLE FOR 5-7 MINUTES, I HAVE REPORTED THRICE IN LAST 2 YEARS TO SERVICE AND NOT RECEIVED RIGHT RESPONSE ON CONDITION, AFTER 6 MONTHS RECENTLY I ENCOUNTERED THE SAME ISSUE IN JULY 2019 WHICH CONCERNS 4TH TIME. NEED SUPPORT RESPECTIVELY.

TOOK MY CAR TO FORD DEALERSHIP THEY SAID AIR-CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR CORE IS OUT THEY HAVE RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS AND MIGHT ONE DAY HAVE A RECALL.. NO AC ON A TWO-YEAR-OLD CAR WITH 40,000 MILES. VERY POOR QUALITY NOT WORTH THE MONEY

WHEN VEHICLE SITS IN HOT SUN WHILE PARKED NOT IN OPERATION THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL STAY ON WHEN CAR IS STARTED. IT STAYS ON UNTIL CAR IS DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 10 MINS OR SO AND THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. THIS ONLY HAPPENS ON HOT SUNNY DAYS.

THERE IS A SMALL CRACK IN THE CAULKING AROUND MY REAR WINDSHIELD THAT ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT AND SEATBELT GET WET. THE HEADLINER ALSO SHOWS WATER DAMAGE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED. MY DRIVEWAY HAS A SLIGHT UPWARD SLANT AND IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE THAN WHEN MY CAR IS PARKED ON A LEVEL SURFACE.

THE AC QUIT BLOWING COLD AIR, TOOK IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP LEFT WITH AN ESTIMATED REPAIR COST $1800.00. THE EVAPORATOR CORE IS LEAKING AND MUST BE REPLACED, SO THE DASH HAS TO BE TAKEN OUT. MY CAR ONLY HAS 30,539 MILES

THERE IS A KNOCKING COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD RIGHT AFTER AN OIL CHANGE AND NOW AT THE SECOND OIL CHANGE IT IS STILL THERE.

VEHICLE ELECTRONIC POWER STEER FAILED WHILE CRUISING APPROXIMATELY 60MPH ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD. POWER ASSIST DISABLED, VEHICLE STILL DRIVEABLE JUST NO POWER ASSIST. PROBLEM WILL CLEAR ITSELF IF VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED BUT RETURNS A SHORT TIME LATER

FIRST THE AC WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. I HAD IT SERVICE LAST YEAR. THIS YEAR THE CAR WAS BLOWING COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAD THE BLENDOR REPLACED. 3 MONTHS LATER THE CAR AGAIN BEGAN TO BLOW WARM AIR I HAD IT CHECKED AND NOW 30 DAYS LATER THE CAR MAKES A WHINING NOISE WHEN THE AC OR DEFROST IS TURNED ON. THE NOISE BECOMES LOUDER AS YOU ACCELERATE. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS MODEL VEHICLE. THERE ARE ALSO A LOT OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS DESCRIBING THE SAME ISSUE SOME STARTING WITH IN 9 MONTHS OF PURCHASE. I ALSO PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW AND HAVE MAINTAINED THE REQUIRED SERVICE. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IT CONTINUES WHEN IN MOTION.

SHELBY GT350 5.2L V8: ENGINE OIL FILTER SPINS LOOSE, CAUSING CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF OIL. STREET USE ONLY, NO TRACK DAYS. CAR DEALER SERVICED ONLY. DEALER DENIED FAULT, SAID OIL FILTER COMING LOOSE WAS "NORMAL" FOR THIS MODEL.

SHELBY GT350 5.2L V8: ENGINE VALVE COVER GASKET FAILURE CAUSED OIL LOSS AND FIRE IN ENGINE BAY--OIL BURNING ON EXHAUST MANIFOLD. SMOKE UNDER HOOD AND INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WITH MANUFACTURER'S ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. OIL SPRAY FROM VALVE COVER GASKET ONTO EXHAUST MANIFOLD WITH MEDIUM RPM (~3000 RPM) AND HIGHER.

SHELBY GT350 5.2L V8: EXHAUST INFILTRATION INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. MODERATE TO HIGH RPM OPERATION CAUSES EXHAUST SMELL TO ENTER INTO PASSENGER AREA. WORSE WITH AIR CONDITIONER OFF THAN ON.

SHELBY GT350 5.2L V8: ENGINE BURNS COPIOUS VOLUMES OF ENGINE OIL. POTENTIAL FOR OWNER TO LET ENGINE RUN DRY AND SEIZE DURING NORMAL OIL CHANGE INTERVAL. ENGINE HAS BURNED GREATER THAN 1 QT OIL PER 1000 MI OVER 47000+ MI, AND MOST RECENTLY BURNED 8 QT OVER LESS THAN 4000 MI.

VEHICLE SHUT DOWN 2 TIMES, ONCE IN TRAFFIC, DID RESTART, SEEMINGLY BECAUSE OF LOW SYSTEM VOLTAGE CAUSED BY A PARASITIC DRAW ON THE BATTERY WHICH HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE NEW. MULTIPLE DTC'S IN HISTORY WHICH I CAN SUPPLY, FORD OF COURSE KNOWS NOTHING, BUT I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON WEB PAGES ABOUT S550 BATTERY DRAW.

STARTED MY CAR THIS MORNING AND AS I WAS BACKING OUT, I NOTICED IT WAS IDLING ROUGHLY, CAUSING THE CAR TO SHAKE. WHEN STOPPED, THE CAR FELT LIKE IT MIGHT DIE AND THE RPM WAS INCONSISTENT WHILE ACCELERATING AND THE CAR WAS MOVING. VERY ROUGH RIDING. ALSO, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND BEGIN BLINKING.

CAR STALLED RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. PRESSED THE GAS AND WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. WAS ABLE TO PULL IN A LOT TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. FULL ACCESSORY POWER WAS ACTIVE. MECHANIC SAID FUEL PUMP AND MODULE. CAR HAS 46000 MILES. FUEL PUMP SHOULD NOT FAIL IN A 3 YEAR OLD CAR.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET THE ENGINE WILL SHUTDOWN WITH NO WARNINGS. YOU START LOSING SPEED BUT ALL THE REST OF THE DASH LIGHTS AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING CONTINUE TO WORK. THIS CAUSES A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION WHERE OTHER PEOPLE COULD RUN INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR. AS OF 12/17/2018 I HAVE TOOK THE AT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES WHERE THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY THEN WITH IN THREE DAY THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN GOING DOWN THE STREET AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME THE CAR WAS TOOK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE POWER CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED AND WITHIN THREE DAY THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN AGAIN GOING DOWN THE STREET SEVERAL TIMES. AS OF 12/17/2018 THE CAR WAS TOOK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD TO VERIFY FOR THEMSELVES THAT THE CAR WAS DOING THIS HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING BACK AT THIS POINT YET. THIS CONDITION HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE HIT FROM BEHIND THREE TIMES.

AIR CONDITIONER COOLING STOPPED WORKING

PASSENGER DOOR COMES OPEN BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND VARIOUS ROADS. LUCKILY, SO FAR IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED ON STRAIGHT ROADS. THERE ARE SEVERAL RECALLS ON COMPARABLE YEAR VEHICLES OF THIS SAME MODEL FOR A DOOR LATCH REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLES I HAVE CHECKED ALL HAVE INTERCHANGEBLE PARTS, MEANING WHEN I ORDER PARTS, IT IS FOR A RANGE OF YEARS. THIS IS PARTIALLY WHY I DON'T UNDERSTAND FORDS RELUCTANCE TO INCLUDE THE 2016 IN THE REPAIRS.

THE BACK UP CAMERA DOES NOT WORK AND PRESENTS THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGE WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE: REAR VIEW CAMERA NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE DRIVER'S DOOR SUDDENLY OPENED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE DOOR ALARM SOUNDED, INDICATING THAT THE DOOR WAS AJAR. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL UTTER FORD (4901 S, N INTERSTATE 35, DENTON, TX 76210, (940) 321-7400) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

I JUST BOUGHT A 2016 MUSTANG GT FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. SINCE THEN I'VE HAD MY CAR IN THEIR SHOP 5 TIMES FOR A INTERMETINT EXTREME PULL TO LEFT. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THIS TAKEN CARE OF NOW IT IS GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE I AM HAVING TO RESEARCH POSSIBLE ISSUES AND TELL THEIR MECHANICS. THIS IS THE 3RD CAR I'VE BEEN THROUGH IN 2 MONTHS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE A 2013 MUSTANG GT AND A 2015 MUSTANG GT NOW MY NEWEST 2016 GT AS THEY ARE GETTING TO THE POINT OF TIRED OF ME AND BASICALLY TELLING ME IT'S TIME TO DEAL WITH FORD AND FIGURE OUT THIS ISSUE AND REPORT BACK TO THEM. I'M REALLY STARTING G TO LOSE FAITH IN THESE VEHICLES

2016 FORD MUSTANG GT. EVAPORATOR HAS FAILED TWICE (1ST TIME @ 7K MILES, 2ND TIME @16K MILES). EACH FAILURE CAUSED LOSS OF AC, AND RESULTED IN A FILM BUILDING UP ON ALL INTERIOR WINDOW SURFACES. VISIBILITY WAS OBSCURED WHEN DRIVING INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE SERVICED DURING SECOND FAILURE, MOST LIKELY DUE TO R-134A REFRIGERANT LEAKING INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT?!?

DRIVING ON THE DALLAS, TX HIGHWAY 35- RLTHORNTON HEADED SOUND IN THE PEAK OF TRAFFIC IN THE FAST LANE (FAR LEFT HAND LANE) GOING ABOUT 35MILES AND CAR STOPS. MY FEET WAS PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATION BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. NO ENGINE WARMING OR LIGHTS CAME ON. THE CARS BEHIND BE BEGAN TO SWERVE AND BRAKE TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME. THE ABRUPT ENGINE SHUT OFF COULD HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENTS OR EVEN WORSE FATALITIES. (MY LIFE) BECAUSE THE CAR WAS UNMOVABLE AND FAILED TO START, 911 HAD TO BE CALLED FOR ASSISTANCE WITH GETTING ME OUT OF ARMS WAY OF OTHER DRIVERS AND ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, TO INFORM THEM OF THE MATTER. HAD THE CAR TOWED AT THE EXPENSE OF $120 DOLLARS. 2 DAYS HAVE PASSED AND MY CAR HASN'T BEEN LOOKED IT. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY MIGHT GET TO MY CAR BY FRIDAY, 8/31 AND THAT NO RENTALS WERE AVAILABLE. MY BIGGEST CONCERNED IS THE SAFETY OF MY LIFE AND OTHERS. AFTER RESEARCHING AROUND IT APPEARS THAT OTHERS HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. THE MUSTANG IS FORDS BIGGEST SELLER BUT CONSUMERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW OF ANY ISSUES SUCH AS THIS BEING REPORTED. WHY, BECAUSE LIVES MATTER.

THE POWER WENT OUT WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, WHILE MOVING STEERING WHEEL FROZE,,TOOK TO HAVE FIXED AND POWER TRAIN WAS DAMAGED FROM REPAIRS BUT TOLD IT WAS FIXED , BUT THE DASH SCREEN KEEPS GOING OUT. NOW 3 RECALLS 2 FOR SEATBELTS, FRONT AND BACK, AND THE COOLING SYSTEM IS BEING RECALLED FOR A HOSE OR SYSTEM MALFUNCTION THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE . ALREADY HAD THE AIR ASSEMBLY FIXED , NOW THIS LATEST RECALL. ALL AROUND THIS IS AN UNSAFE CAR TO DRIVE, IT ONLY HAS 11,000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS HAD MAJOR DEFECTS AND SEVER THINGS GO WRONG . IT'S A LEMON

I HAVE HAD TWO COLLISION IN MY VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER TIME. BOTH WERE AT A RATE OF SPEED APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. ONE WAS A REAR END COLLISION THAT WAS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR. THE OTHER WAS TO THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL AND LIGHT AREA. THE REAR COLLISION I WAS IN MOTION ABOUT 10 MPH AND WAS STRUCK AT APPROX. 50 MPH. THE FRONTAL COLLISION I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 40 MPH AND WAS STRUCK MOVING AT APPROX. 40-50 MPH. THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO THE FRONTAL COLLISION. I HAVE PHOTOS BUT CANNOT GET THEM TO UPLOAD BUT PROVIDE THEM FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION.

MY CAR KEEPS OVERHEATING AND CONSYMING TO MUCH OIL I CHECK IT EVERYDAY AND ITS A 2016 FORD MUSTAG ECOBOOST 2DR COUPE WITH ONLY 40000 MILES

ON 4/28, 2018 WHILE DRIVING ON FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE AT 65 MPH WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR DECELERATED AND LOST POWER, GOING INTO LIMP MODE. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT HAPPENED, BUT CLEARLY A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2015. I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL FROM FORD SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE TELLING ME ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADVISED AT PURCHASE OF THIS DEFECT. I HAVE WAITED PATIENTLY FOR OVER TWO YEARS FOR A NOTICE TO TAKE MY CAR IN TO REPLACE THE AIR BAGS. I ASK AT EACH SERVICE AT THE DEALER AND RECEIVE THE SAME ANSWER: I MUST WAIT UNTIL FORD CONTACTS ME. THIS CAR IS MY WIFE'S PRIMARY WORK VEHICLE. I AM GUESSING THAT FORD WILL NEVER MAKE GOOD ON THEIR PROMISE TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS.

BEFORE FEB 2017, SMELLED SMOKE IN VEHICLE, BUT WAS NOT AWARE THAT THIS ISSUE WAS POSSIBLY CONNECTED TO THE NEXT ISSUE. IN FEB 2017, A/C WAS NOT WORKING AND SAW WHITE SMOKE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DON DAVIS FORD IN ARLINGTON, TX AND THEY FOUND A LEAK NEW EVAPORATOR IN A/C. THEY REPLACED HOSES UNDER THE WARRANTY. MARCH 2018 I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AND NOW NEED A NEW EVAPORATOR.

2016 FORD MUSTANG GT 6 SPEED MANUAL. SHIFTING GEARS CLUTCH ALL THE WAY IN IT HAS A HARSH FEELING NOTCHY GOING INTO 1ST 2ND 3RD GEARS THE OTHER GEARS FEEL SMOOTH. I HAVE TALKED TO ANOTHER GUY AND HIS ONLY HAS 2K MILES AND HE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I LOVE THIS MUSTANG BUT THAT JUST MAKE IT NOT FUN TO DRIVE ANYMORE. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM ASAP.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL TRACTION CONTROL CLUTCH PACK FAILURE

DURING FIRST LONG ROAD TRIP WITH NEWLY ACQUIRED CAR, BOTH THE DRIVER DOOR AND THE PASSENGER DOOR OPENED FROM LOCKED POSITION AT HIGHWAY SPEED A TOTAL OF SIX TIMES. THE PASSENGER DOOR OPENED FOUR TIMES AND THE DRIVER DOOR TWO TIMES. THESE OCCURRENCES WERE ON 1/13/2018 AND 1/14/2018 DURING AN 1,100 MILE TRIP FROM FLORIDA TO NEW YORK. WITH EACH EPISODE THE DASHBOARD LIT WITH "DOOR AJAR" MESSAGE.

THE REAR DECK "GT" EMBLEM BROKE ON MY NEW CAR AND FELL OFF. I RETURNED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS A NEW VEHICLE AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE EMBLEM WAS REPLACED AS WELL AS THE BACK DECK LID AND THE REVERSE CAMERA BECAUSE IT IS ALL ONE PIECE. AS I LEFT I NOTICED THAT THE NEW DECK LID DID NOT SEAL PROPERLY AND WATER COULD GET IN MY TRUNK SO I RETURNED TO THE SERVICE SHOP. AT THAT TIME I WAS TOLD BY AN ASSOCIATE THAT AN UPDATE WAS MADE TO THE SERVICE MANUAL AND A NEW "BUMPER PAD" WAS REQUIRED TO BE ADDED UNDER THE DECK LID THAT WAS PREVENTING IT FROM CLOSING PROPERLY. I TOLD THEM IT WAS UNACCEPTABLE AND IT NEEDED TO BE FIXED. THEY CONTINUED TO EXPLAIN IT WAS A FACTORY CHANGE AND WAS CORRECTED EXACTLY HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ACCORDING TO THE NEW MANUAL UPDATES. THE LARGER PROBLEM IS THAT I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I AM ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY AND WAS PICKING THE CAR UP TO DRIVE STRAIGHT TO MY NEW BASE. THEY STATED IT WAS NOT AN ISSUE AND I COULD HAVE MY LOCAL DEALER LOOK AT THE ITEM AND FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY. WELL, I AM NOW AT MY NEW LOCATION AND THE LOCAL DEALER STATED THERE IS NOT ANY UPDATES TO THE MANUAL FOR THEM TO ADD AN EXTRA BUFFER PAD AND THEY THE DECK LID THEY ADDED IS WARPED FROM THEM TRYING TO FORCE IT ON. HOWEVER, THE LOCAL DEALER CANNOT TOUCH IT BECAUSE IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY AT THE OTHER LOCATION AND THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE. NOW THEY WANT ME TO DRIVE IT BACK 490 MILES ONE WAY TO HAVE THEM FIX IT WHEN THEY FIRST LIED TO ME ABOUT WHAT WAS DONE AND THEN ALSO TOLD ME I COULD BRING IT TO A LOCAL SHOP BECAUSE THE MILITARY MOVED ME AND THE WARRANTY WOULD STILL COVER IT. THEY NEED TO PAY WHAT EVER THEY NEED TO THE LOCAL DEALER SO I CAN HAVE MY NEW CAR REPAIRED SINCE THEY MESSED IT UP AND THEN LIED TO ME. MALL OF GEORGIA FORD IS WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THE SAME SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT LIED TO ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON, VAPORS ENTERED THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (FAIRWAY FORD, 2323 LAURENS ROAD, GREENVILLE, SC 29607) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EVAPORATOR COIL FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,600.

FORD LINCOLN IN EL PASO, TX TELLS ME PARTS FOR MY DEFECTIVE AIR BAG IS NOT READY AFTER I GOT A NOTICE THAT SAYS THEY ARE.

CAR IN MOTION; ON 10/09/2017 - I WAS DRIVING 80 MPH (WHICH IS THE LEGAL SPEED LIMIT), ON MAJOR TEXAS HIGHWAY 130 TOLL ROAD, ENGINE STALLED, CAR HARD TO CONTROL, DIFFICULT TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO SAFETY. ATTEMPTED TO RESTART CAR SEVERAL TIMES, AFTER 7 OR 8 TIMES IT FINALLY STARTED. IT HAD A ROUGH IDLE, AND CONTINUED TO STALL OUT 6 MORE TIMES FOR THE REMAINING 30 MILES UNTIL I REACHED MY HOME. THERE ARE NO STORES, OR SAFE PLACES TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD ON THIS TOLL ROAD, AND IT IS A VERY LONG STRETCH OF HIGHWAY TO BE LEFT STRANDED ON. I'VE CONTACTED FORD SERVICE AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, MY CAR IS A 2016 MUSTANG WHICH I BOUGHT BRAND NEW...

THIS CAR WAS NEVER WRECKED AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 7,000 MILES ON IT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE PASSENGER DOOR DISLODGED AND CAME HALFWAY OPEN. WITHIN 5 MILES, THE DRIVERS DOOR DID THE SAME EXACT THING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, CARBON MONOXIDE ENTERED THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTS, WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO HAVE HEADACHES AND NAUSEA. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE FRIENDLY FORD OF CROSBY DEALER LOCATED AT 2425 US-90, CROSBY, TX 77532; (800) 568-9561 WHERE THE GAS KIT WAS REFILLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ODOR WAS GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AT 800-568-9561 AND WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND A CASE NUMBER 12966085 WAS PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,835.

HAVE HAD ISSUES THAT THE CAR DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT ACROSS LANES UNDER ANY AMOUNTS OF ACCELERATION OR SPEEDS. ONE TIRE HAD GONE COMPLETELY WARN OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS WHILE THE PROBLEM WAS MOST NOTICEABLE. AFTER NEW TIRES WERE PUT ON THE PROBLEM SWITCHED ITSELF TO STEERING TO THE LEFT INSTEAD. THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONENTS WERE INSPECTED AS WELL AS TIRE ALIGNMENT. NO MECHANICAL ISSUES HAVE BEEN FOUND. TO JUSTIFY THE CARS BEHAVIOR I WAS INSTEAD FALSELY ACCUSED OF MISHANDLING THE CAR ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND PROVIDED PAPERWORK THAT CLAIMED IT WAS NORMAL FOR FORDS WITH ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPAS/PDC) TO DRIFT AROUND THE ROAD ON THEIR OWN AND THAT IT WAS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN. THIS IS ONE OF FOUR COMPLAINTS WITH THIS CAR THAT HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED.

SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 300 MILES I HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS AT TIMES, HARD TO SHIFT, WOULD GRIND A GEAR. LOCKED ME OUT OF A GEAR, AND IN GENERAL CAN SHAKE AND PRODUCE LOUD THUMPING NOISES WHEN ENGAGING GEARS WHILE SITTING AT A STANDSTILL OR EVEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD AT THE TIME THAT THIS WAS NORMAL BEHAVIOR. I HAD TEST DROVE MORE THAN ONE CAR BEFORE PURCHASING THIS ONE. NONE OF THE OTHERS BEHAVED THIS WAY. I HAVE DONE MORE RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A VERY INTERMITTENT ISSUE BETWEEN BUILDS OF THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN FOR SERVICE. THEY HAD REMOVED THE TRANSMISSION AND SERVICED SOME PARTS. UPON GETTING THE CAR BACK IT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WENT BACK TO DOING THE SAME THING. THIS IS NOT A BIG SAFETY CONCERN, BUT COULD CAUSE BIGGER AND MORE EXPENSIVE ISSUES DOWN THE ROAD DEPENDING ON WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS ONE OF FOUR COMPLAINTS I HAVE WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE THAT HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED.

AFTER ABOUT 8 MONTHS OF PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE THE BACKUP CAMERA BEGAN TO ACT UP. THE CAMERA WOULD OCCASIONALLY GO TO STATIC OR A COMPLETELY BLACK SCREEN. I HAD FINALLY MANAGED TO HAVE TAKEN A VIDEO AND PRODUCED IT FOR THE MECHANIC TO SEE. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE SO THEY HAD BLAMED THE PROBLEM ON THE HEAT. WHILE I AGREE IT IS HOT IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SORTED OUT DURING THE DEVELOPMENT CYCLES OF THE VEHICLE AND THE CAMERA. ARIZONA THE LAST I CHECKED IS A PART OF THE UNITED STATES WHERE FORD EXISTS AS A COMPANY AND ROAD TESTS VEHICLES ON ACCOUNT OF THE HEAT. THESE ARE SITUATIONS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIGURED OUT ALREADY. YOU ARE NOT EXPECTED TO RELY ON BACKUP CAMERAS, BUT IN A VEHICLE LIKE THIS IT IS AN IMPORTANT WAY OF BEING ABLE TO SEE OUT THE BACK OF THE CAR AND IS A PREMIUM ITEM. THIS IS ONE OF FOUR COMPLAINTS I HAVE HAD ABOUT THIS VEHICLE THAT HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND NOTICED MY PARKING BRAKE INDICATOR FLASHING. I DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS THE PARKING BRAKE HANDLE THAT WAS MOVING FREELY WAS BOUNCING AROUND ENOUGH NEAR THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGEMENT POINT TO TURN ON THE LIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NORMAL AND THAT THEY TIGHTENED SOMETHING BUT IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE CORRECT FIX INVOLVES REMOVING THE CENTER CONSOLE TO GET ACCESS TO THE ADJUSTMENT FOR THE BRAKE CABLES. THIS HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED YET. THIS IS ONE OF FOUR PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THIS IS SOMEWHAT A SAFETY CONCERN. DEPENDING ON HOW LOOSE THIS IS, PARKING ON A SLOPE COULD FIND THE CAR IN A PREDICAMENT WHERE IT COULD GET LOOSE AND ROLL AWAY.

CLUNKING IN SHIFTING AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. LOAD CLUNK IN REAR OF CAR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STANDING STOP. PROBLEM APPEARED AT 4,500 MILES ON NEW VEHICLE. FORD ATTEMPTED TO FIX, TOOK 3 VISITS AND OVER ONE MONTH. PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. FORD NOW TELLS ME CLUNKING IS NORMAL. I AM AFRAID THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

CLUNKING WHEN SHIFTING. THIS APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD ON 2015, 2016, AND 2017 FORD MUSTANGS. AFTER PROBLEM APPEARS, FORD TELLS CONSUMER IT IS NORMAL. FROM INTERNET RESEARCH, THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND FORD IS NOT ADDRESSING IT.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 MUSTANG GT BASE MODEL DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL "ON" AND THE CAR RANDOMLY LOCKED ALL OF THE WHEELS AND TURNED SIDEWAYS INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND ONLY STOPPING WHEN I HIT A CURB. WHILE SLIDING THERE WAS NO THROTTLE OR BRAKE CONTROL BECAUSE THE TRACTION SYSTEM LOCKED ALL FOUR WHEELS. I WENT TO THE FORD DEALER PREVIOUS TO THIS INSTANCE TO COMPLAIN THAT THE FRONT SUSPENSION WAS NOISY AND THE VEHICLE WAS HARD TO CONTROL ON CERTAIN ROAD SURFACES AND IT FELT VERY UNSAFE. AFTER GIVING THEM THIS INFORMATION THEY SCHEDULED ME FOR AN APPOINTMENT A WEEK LATER AND LET ME DRIVE OFF. SUBSEQUENT TO SAY, THE VEHICLE TOTALLY LOST CONTROL 3 DAYS BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT. ROAD SURFACE WAS DRY, IT WAS SUNNY 94 DEGREES AND I WAS TRAVELING AT 40MPH ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AND MY VEHICLE HAS 26K MILES. THE NOISE AND CONTROL ISSUE WAS MINISCULE BUT EXISTENT ON THE VEHICLE AT 14K MILES AND ONLY KEPT GETTING WORSE. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER OF THE POSSIBILITY OF A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND THEY WERE VERY DEFENSIVE AND MORE CONCERNED ABOUT CHARGING ME FOR THE DAMAGES THAT RESULTED FROM THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTION. I REQUESTED THAT THE COMPUTER LOGS BE PRESERVED AND SENT TO FORD AS IT MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD CHARGE ME EXTRA FOR THAT AND THAT IT WOULD BE QUITE EXPENSIVE AS TO DISCOURAGE ME FROM REPORTING IT. I RETAINED A PRINTOUT OF MY INITIAL COMPLAINT THAT WAS DOCUMENTED AT THE DEALER UPON MY INITIAL VISIT. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY AND IS BEING DIAGNOSED FOR THE FRONT SUSPENSION NOISE ISSUE.

PURCHASE DATE 4-16. EIGHT DOCUMENTED VISITS TO DEALER/REPAIR. OTHER VISITS WHERE SERVICE ADVISER SAID TO RETURN WHEN SYSTEM FAILURES WERE HAPPENING, AS PROBLEM WOULD RESOLVE BEFORE I ARRIVED AT SERVICE. RE WATER INSIDE, DRIVER DOOR ISSUES, SYNC, CAMERA/STEREO ELECTRICAL ISSUES INCLUDE DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK AT TIMES, TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO BE GRANTED ACCESS INTO CAR, THUS CAUSING SAFETY CONCERN. SYNC GOES OUT FAIRLY REGULARLY INCLUDING PHONE FUNCTION, BACK UP CAMERA, STEREO. CURRENTLY IN SHOP AGAIN SINCE 7-3-17 @ 9 AM.(16 CONSECUTIVE DAYS THIS TRIP). SAFETY CONCERN OF MOST IMPORTANCE TO ME IS THE FACT THAT CAR HAS LOST POWER MULTIPLE TIMES ON HIGHWAY AND THANKFULLY HAS NOT YET BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. QUICK REFLEXES OF DRIVERS BEHIND ME ARE ONLY REASONS THAT ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN AVOIDED THUS FAR. I AM TOLD BY DEALER THAT THIS IS A THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTION. THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED AFTER A NEAR REAR END ACCIDENT ( HIGHWAY/ INTERSECTION/TURN). THROTTLE BODY WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING CAR INSTANTLY DECELERATED WITH NO ACCELERATION CAPABILITY. ONE WEEK LATER THROTTLE BODY FAILS AGAIN CAUSING A NEAR ACCIDENT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL IN NATURE DUE TO THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY. MY 7 YEA OLD WAS IN REAR SEAT. MY CHILDREN ARE NO LONGER FOR ANY REASON ALLOWED IN THE VEHICLE SINCE OCTOBER 2016. THROTTLE BODY HAS YET AGAIN BEEN REPLACED JUNE 2017. THIRD ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THIS CAR WITH NO INDICATION THAT THIS IS A REPAIR, IT SEEMS TO BE MERELY A REPAIR ATTEMPT AS THIS PROCESS OF ATTEMPTED REPAIRS HAS CAUSED 3 NEAR REAR ACCIDENTS. THIS CAR HAS PROVEN ITSELF TO BE A DANGER ON THE ROAD AND A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD FOR ANYONE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THIS VEHICLE WHILE IT IS IN MOTION. LOW MILEAGE IS INDICATOR OF HOW UNTRUSTWORTHY VEHICLE IS TO ME. IT IS ONLY DRIVEN BY ME, NO PASSENGERS ALLOWED. ONLY DRIVEN IF ANOTHER CAR CAN NOT BE BORROWED. UNRESOLVED ISSUES.

I WAS IN A WRECK THAT TOTALED MY VEHICLE. ALL AIRBAGS DEPLOYED EXCEPT DRIVER SIDE STEERING WHEEL. CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY NOSE. HAD STITCHES, BROKEN NOSE. ALREADY HAVE HAD ONE SURGERY AND STILL HAVE TO HAVE ONE MORE. I WAS ON A A REGULAR STREET AND SWERVED A DEER AND HIT AN EMBANKMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD MUSTANG. WHENEVER THE CONTACT SHIFTED GEARS, A PINGING METAL SOUND WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE TOWN AND COUNTRY FORD DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. ..UPDATED 07/31/17 *BF *CN

DRIVESHAFT VIBRATION GETS WORSE WHEN GOING OVER 45 MILES EVEN WORSE GOING 80

TAKATA RECALL. THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR IS THAT THE ENGINE IS SHUTTING OFF WHILE COMING TO A STOP. WHETHER THE CLUTCH IS ENGAGED ALL THE WAY OR IF IT'S JUST IN NEUTRAL. SUDDENLY THE RPM'S JUST DROP TO ZERO AND I WOULD HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR AGAIN BY HITTING THE START ENGINE BUTTON. THIS HAD HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST FEW COUPLE OF MONTHS. OTHER THAN THAT THE CAR STILL RUNS SMOOTH AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS FINE. I HAVE ALMOST 18000 MILES ON IT. I REALLY HOPE FORD COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEMS IS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIE ROD ASSEMBLY FAILED WHILE THE DRIVER TURNED AT LOW SPEEDS, AND THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY VIBRATED AND SHOOK. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER. THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE. WHILE REVERSING, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE SEPARATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE LOWER TIE ROD ASSEMBLY BOLT FAILED. THE BOLT WAS NOT SECURELY FASTENED AND THREADED THE TIE ROD ASSEMBLY, WHICH CAUSED THE TIRE TO SEPARATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 409.

ENGINE OIL COOLER TUBE ASSEMBLIES LEAK BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE PROBLEM NOT FIXED, YESTERDAY 4/12/17 BROUGHT THE CAR AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS SAYING THE COUJLD NOT FINISH THE JOB TODAY AND WANTS TO KEEP THE CAR OVER THE WEEKEND FOR FURTHER REPAIRS. WE PAID GOOD MONEY FOR THIS CAR, WE WANT TO USE THE CAR INSTEAD OF HAVING THE CAR I N THE REPAIR SHOP!

I BOUGHT A 2016 FORD MUSTANG IN APRIL 2016 ITS A GREAT CAR. I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS GOT DEPLOYED LUCKILY NOTHING HAPPENED TO ME. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT RUSSELL AND SMITH COLLISION CENTER IN HOUSTON,TX FOR 51 DAYS AT A COST OF 18000$ (CAR COST 34000$). ON THE 26TH OF MARCH 2017 A GUY SKIPPED A RED SIGNAL AND CAME INTO THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION SO I HAD TO CRASH INTO HIM AT A SPEED OF 50 MPH. THIS TIME NO AIRBAGS GOT DEPLOYED . ITS ONLY BY GODS GRACE THAT I AM NOT HARMED. I TRIED COMPLAINING TO PEOPLE AT FORD BUT ALL I AM GETTING IS A RUN AROUND FROM THEIR CUSTOMER CARE REPRESENTATIVES. ALL I WANT TO KNOW WHY MY DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN AT THAT SPEED.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY BROKE, WAS FIXED BY DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE ORIGINAL THAT IS BEING PUT ON 4 MODELS FROM FORD HAVE FAULTY ONES, BUT SINCE ONLY 5,000-8,000 HAVE BROKEN, THERE WAS NO NEED FOR A FULL SCALE RECALL. I PULLED OUT IN TRAFFIC AND LOST ALL POWER, ONLY 1.5 MONTHS AFTER I DROVE OFF THE LOT WITH A BRAND NEW CAR.... YES IT IS MAJOR

RECALL ISSUED, TOLD NOT TO DRIVE. SITTING WITH CAR FOR MONTHS NO EXTENSION OF WARRANTY, NOT DRIVEABLE

WHILE DRIVING IN FORWARD AND BACKING UP VEHICLE COMPLETE LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. INCLUDING WARNING CEL FOR SERVICE ADVANCTRAC, HILL ASSIST N/A AND TRACTION CONTROL. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND HAS BEEN TAKE TO DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES. THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE. 3 TIMES ON CITY STREETS WHILE TURNING AND 4 TIMES ON DRIVEWAY.

I HAVE SOME SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY RATINGS, SPECIFICALLY THE 2 STAR RATING AFTER THE CRASH TESTS CONDUCTED BY THE EUROPEAN NCAP AND THE AUSTRALIAN ANCAP. THESE CRASH TESTS SHOW THAT THE FRONT AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE SUFFICIENTLY TO AVOID HEAD INJURIES. WHEN I WAS FIRST TEST DRIVING THE 2016 MUSTANG, THE WINDOW STICKER HAD A 5 STAR SAFETY RATING BY THE NHTSA.

FORD INTELLIGENCE/NOT SO INTELLIGENT THIS MORNING I WAS PUTTING MY 2 YEAR OLD CHILD IN HER CAR SEAT AS I NORMALLY DO WITH THE CAR STARTED AND I PLACED MY PURSE AND THE KEYS IN THE FRONT SEAT OF THE CAR. AFTER SECURING MY CHILD I CLOSED THE DOOR TO WALK AROUND AND GET IN AND THE DOORS WERE LOCKED. MY CAR WAS RUNNING AND MY 2 YEAR OLD BABY WAS FRANTICALLY SCREAMING IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR. WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? WHEN I CONTACTED FORD, THEY SAID THE CAR WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO LOCK WITH THE KEYS INSIDE, SO WHY DID IT HAPPEN?

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V319000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

PARKING BRAKE ENGAGEMENT/ADJUSTMENT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE DOES NO ENGAGE WHEN THE HANDLE IS PULLED UP DUE TO A SLACK IN THE CABLE LINE OF ABOUT 2 INCHES. THIS CAUSES AN ISSUE DRIVING AS THE SENSOR IS ENGAGED AND CAN CAUSE CRUISE CONTROL TO TURN OFF. ALSO, IT BECOMES A RISK PARKING THE CAR ON A HILL SINCE YOU HAVE TO PULLED THE HANDLE ALL THE WAY UP FOR PROPER TENSION ON THE BRAKE LINE CABLE. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THIS CABLE CAN COME LOOSE RESULTING IN LOST OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FUNCTION. ALSO, IT CAN CAUSE VIBRATION AND RATTLING SINCE THE CABLE MOUNT AND BOLTING CAN MOVE AGAINST THE TRANSMISSION CASING. FORD SHOULD CREATE A TSB FOR THIS ISSUE AND NOTIFY DEALERS TO LOOK FOR IT DURING REGULAR MAINTENANCE SINCE MULTIPLE USERS HAVE HAD THIS ON INTERNET FORUMS. 1)HTTP://WWW.MUSTANG6G.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=25204&HIGHLIGHT=BRAKE 2)HTTP://WWW.MUSTANG6G.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=54010&HIGHLIGHT=PARKING+BRAKE

GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 ASYMMETRIC ALL SEASON TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN WINCHESTER ROAD IN TEMECULA, CA AT 45 MPH AROUND 6:45PM. THERE WAS A LOUD POP, FOLLOWED BY THE TPS WARNING THAT THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE HAD 1 PSI OF AIR LEFT. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY. AFTER BEING TOWED FROM THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IT WAS DISCOVERED UPON INSPECTION THAT THE INNER SIDE WALL HAD FAILED.

ROUGH IDLE WITH NO THROTTLE CONTROL WHILE IN DRIVE. ENGINE DIED AND WOULDN'T RESTART. WAS TAKEN INTO FORD FOR SIMILAR PROBLEM A FEW MONTHS AGO AND I REPORTED IT HERE. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS RECORDED AS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE!

IT HAS A LITTLE OVER 5000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS USING OIL EXCESSIVELY. IT IS USING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 600-900 MILES AND IS GETTING WORSE. I HAVE BROUGHT IN TO FORD TWICE. BOTH TIMES THEY SAID I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE. BUT, I JUST RECEIVED A CALL FROM THEM LAST FRIDAY ON 10-21-16 AND THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE PUTTING A NEW ENGINE IN THE CAR AS THEY FEAR THE NEW ENGINE WILL DO THE SAME THING. THEY SAID THEY "MAY HAVE A FIX NEXT SPRING." I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEIR REGIONAL REP CALLED ME BACK. SHE ONLY OFFERED ME A MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR FREE OIL CHANGES. THIS IS WORTHLESS TO ME AND MY CURRENT PROBLEM AS IT DOESN'T NEED OIL CHANGES AND DOES NOTHING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. SINCE THEY ADMIT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE AND HAVE NO REPAIR FOR IT, I ASKED THEM TO BUY THE CAR BACK. THEY REFUSED.

I BOUGHT A NEW 2016 MUSTANG IN APRIL. I WAS DRIVING UPHILL AT 40 MPH. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE ENGINE CUT OFF. WHEN THE ENGINE WENT OFF A LARGE WRENCH CAME UP ON THE DISPLAY AND IT SAID SEE MANUAL. I TRIED PRESSING THE START BUTTON BUT IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. THIS COULD EASILY LEAD TO DEATH! IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN ON THE BELTWAY OR I-95 I COULD GET KILLED. THE CAR DIDN'T OVERHEAT AND ALL THE GAUGES SHOWED NORMAL. NOW I AM AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE IT; I DON'T WANT TO BE KILLED OR KILL SOMEONE IF THE ENGINE STOPS.

TAKATA RECALL I BEEN DEALING WITH A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND ITS BRAND NEW. EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR AND TURN IT ON AND DRIVE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES MY MUSIC TURNS OFF AND SHOWS THE HORSE SYMBOL DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN AND IT COMES BACK ON 10 MINUTES LATER. BUT THEN SOMETIMES IT DOES THAT AND THEN THE DISPLAY SCREEN TURNS BLACK AND I CAN'T TURN ON THE RADIO OR ANYTHING. AND THAT LAST FOR A FEW HOURS OR SO.. IT'S REALLY GETTING ANNOYING AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER AND REDUCED RPM. THE LOSS OF POWER IS COMPUTER CONTROLLED. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION HITS A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE THE COMPUTER REDUCES THE ENGINE POWER AND RPM. THIS IS DOCUMENTED BY MY FORD DEALER BY FINDING TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT CODES WHEN THE CARS COMPUTER IS SCANNED. LOSS OF POWER IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND NO ACCELERATION WAS POSSIBLE. THE TROUBLE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR WOULD ONLY ROLL AT 10MPH WITH ENGINE POWER. THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT CONTROL THE MOTOR SPEED. CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I JUST PULLED IN TO A PARKING LOT. I WAS ABLE TO USE THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS TO GET THE CAR HOME USING SIDE STREETS AT 10MPH. LAST YEAR A GUY IN HIS 2015 MUSTANG ASKED ME IF I HAD THIS PROBLEM AS HE EXPLAINED THE SAME SITUATION WHEN I ALSO OWNED A 2015 MUSTANG. I DIDN'T HAVE THAT WITH THE 2015, BUT I JUST BOUGHT IT WHEN WE TALKED. I KNOW WHAT HE MEANS NOW. AS MY 2016 DID WHAT HIS 2015 DID WITH A LOSS OF POWER.

THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 1000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. IN AN EFFORT TO RECTIFY SQUEALING BRAKES, I CHECKED EACH LUG NUT TO ENSURE THEY WERE TIGHTENED TO FACTORY SPECIFICATION. ALL TWENTY (4 WHEELS WITH 5 LUG NUTS EACH) WERE ONLY TIGHTENED TO APPROXIMATELY 90FT-LBS OF TORQUE. FORD SPECIFIES IN THE OWNERS MANUAL THAT LUG NUTS BE TORQUED TO 150FT-LBS. I USED TWO DIFFERENT STYLES OF TORQUE WRENCH TO CONDUCT MY TEST. ONE TYPE WAS USED TO LOOSEN TEN LUG NUTS AND ANOTHER WAS USED TO LOOSEN THE REMAINING TEN. MY INTENT WAS TO RULE OUT ANY GROSS ERROR IN TORQUE READINGS. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE WHEELS HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE, THEREFORE I SEE THREE POSSIBILITIES: THE DEALER REMOVED THE WHEELS FOR SOME REASON AND DID NOT TORQUE TO SPECIFICATION OR THE LUG NUTS ARE LOOSENING THEMSELVES EVENLY OR THEY WERE NOT TORQUED TO SPECIFICATION FROM THE FACTORY. I FEEL THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO IS THAT THEY WERE NOT TORQUED TO SPECIFICATION FROM THE FACTORY.

DURING NORMAL DRIVING DURING 5PM TRAFFIC, THE CAR SHUDDERED, A WRENCH ICON CAME ON THE SCREEN, THE CAR LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME ON A 4 LANE ROAD WITH MULTIPLE OTHER VEHICLES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. AFTER PULLING OVER AND SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON 2-3 TIMES, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES TO DEALERSHIP. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEEMS TO THINK IT IS A DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY.

I JUST PURCHASED MY BRAND NEW 2016 MUSTANG LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE ALREADY BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH IT. I WAS STATIONARY WAITING AT THE STOP LIGHT AND SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR 3 TIMES AND MY CAR WOULDN'T BUDGE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED IT TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE STREET. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BRIEFLY THEN SHUT OFF. A WEEK LATER I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY AND MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WITH NO WARNING. I DO NOT REMEMBER THE ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON THIS TIME. I JUST TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD THROTTLE BODY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO 2 MPH. THE SERVICE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER STATED THAT THE FAILURE MAY BE DUE TO THE FUEL LINE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,814.

NEW VEHICLE LESS THAN 500 MILES. BAD VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VIBRATION STARTS AT AROUND 60 MPH AND IS PRESENT ALL THE WAY BEYOND 80 MPH. THE VIBRATION CAN BE FELT INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND ALSO THROUGH THE STEERING. FORD RE-BALANCED THE TIRES AND ALSO REPLACED THE DRIVESHAFT, BUT VIBRATION STILL PERSISTS. FROM OTHER SOURCES IN THE INTERNET IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A PROBLEM WHICH IS NOT UNCOMMON ON MUSTANGS AND FORD SEEMS TO REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. SINCE THIS OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SEEMS TO BE COMING IN FROM THE DRIVETRAIN MAKES THIS ISSUE SCARY.

I WAS DRIVING ON LOCAL CITY ROADS. I HAD JUST TURNED AT A LIGHT ONTO A 4 LANE ROAD ACCELERATING AT A NORMAL RATE DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE WRENCH INDICATOR CAME ON AND I LOST ALL POWER. LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY AND WILL TAKE AT LEAST A WEEK TO GET THE PART IN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A CAR WITH LESS THAN 5000 MILES.

ENGINE STALLED OUT ON TWICE ON HIGHWAY AND LOCAL ROAD. WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED ON DASH BOARD AND MESSAGE SAYING "SEE MANUAL" THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME SAFELY. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON MY WAY TO WORK, I ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE LANES, BUT THE CAR STALLED AND STARTED FLASHING THE MESSAGE "SEE MANUAL". THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE AT A VERY REDUCED SPEED (MORE LIKE A COAST) INTO A GAS STATION PARKING LOT. THE CAR IS ONLY SIX (6) MONTHS OLD WITH A LITTLE OVER 8,000 MILES. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A NEW THROTTLE BODY WAS NEEDED. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD AS I LEARNED THAT THE THROTTLE BODIES HAVE BEEN GOING OUT FOR YEARS IN MANY OF THE FORD MODELS AND STILL THE SAME PROBLEMATIC THROTTLE BODIES ARE BEING INSTALLED INTO NEW VEHICLES. I AM THANKFUL THAT I HAD ALREADY EXITED THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE THE OUTCOME MIGHT HAVE BEEN VERY BAD HAD I BEEN TRAVELING AT 70 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED. FORD REALLY SHOULD LOOK INTO INSTALLING BETTER THROTTLE BODIES ONTO THEIR VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED.

SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, COMPUTER SYSTEM INSIDE CAR SHUTS OFF BUT CAR IS STILL RUNNING. COULD NOT TURN CAR OFF OR OPEN THE DOORS. AFTER HITTING THE UNLOCK BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES I REALIZED I WAS LOCKED IN THE CAR. AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS, THE SYSTEM REBOOTED ITSELF AND STARTING BLINKING ERROR CODES. 37 CODES TO BE EXACT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT THE PERSON INSIDE THE CAR COULD NOT GET OUT.

LOST POWER IN INSANELY BUSY IRVING/DALLAS INTERSECTION NEAR MAJOR HIGHWAY - COULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE ACCIDENT! 5400 PLUS MILES. FORD 2016 MUSTANG, V6 FROM A STANDING POSITION, SECOND CAR IN LINE AT RED LIGHT. LIGHT CHANGES, TRAFFIC STARTS TO MOVE, I STEPPED ON GAS AND NOTHING! HAD TO CREEP ACROSS TWO LANES OF BUSY TRAFFIC AND LIMP UP ONTO A SIDEWALK AS THAT THERE WAS NO BREAKDOWN SHOULDER. THAN GOD THE CURB WAS ABOUT 2 TO 3 INCHES HIGH. WRENCH ICON ON DASH: "SEE MANUAL". TURNED ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON - RPMS SURGED TO THE RED AND THEN DROPPED TO BELOW 1000. TRIED THE OFF/ON THING ABOUT 3 TIMES - SAME RESULTS. ENGINE WAS CHUGGING, MISSING, EVEN EXHAUST WAS CHUGGING LIKE SOME OLD JALOPY! CHECKED THE ELECTRONIC GAUGE READINGS - EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL EXCEPT THE VACUUM PRESSURE - IT WAS BETWEEN 5 AND 0! AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO DEALERSHIP, FORD ROADSIDE ASSIST AND TOW COMPANY; TURNED CAR OFF AGAIN - 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE LATER, RESTARTED IT - AND IT WAS RUNNING PERFECT - ENGINE LIGHT HOWEVER WAS ON. VACUUM LEVEL WAS RUNNING BETWEEN 17 AND 20. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP; IT'S A WEEK NOW AND I HAVE JUST LEARNED FROM THEM THAT IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY. WAS TOLD THAT "FORD HAD A BAD BATCH OF THESE" ON THIS ENGINE SIZE (V6). THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE REP STATED IT'S TAKEN AS LONG AS A "COUPLE OF MONTHS" BUT FORD IS GETTING FASTER AT GETTING THE PART OUT, SO IT COULD BE A WEEK TO TWO WEEKS TO GET IT IN. I HAVE SEEN REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM FOR EXPLORERS - FROM JUN 5TH 2016 - STATING THAT FORD HAD 7000 THROTTLE BODIES ON BACK ORDER! THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THESE THINGS LOSING POWER LIKE THIS ON HIGHWAYS AND IN MAJOR TRAFFIC. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS THROTTLE BODY!

6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION; CLUNKS, GRINDS AND DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE IN 1ST-4TH GEARS, HAPPENS UNDER ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS. MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO ADDRESS UNDERLYING CAUSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,800.

MY NEW 2016 MUSTANG V6 HAS SEVERE VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING AT MOST SPEEDS. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT. DETERMINED THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY DRIVE SHAFT AND REPLACED IT TWICE AND INDEXED THE SECOND ONE AFTER INSTALLATION. THE CAR STILL VIBRATES. THE TIRES WERE ROAD FORCED BALANCED AND ROTATED AND THE VIBRATION IS STILL HAPPENING. THIS LEADS ME AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS TO CONCLUDE THAT THERE MAY BE OTHER MALFUNCTIONING PARTS OR A POSSIBLE DESIGN FLAW IN THE DRIVE LINE WHICH I BELIEVE FORD MOTOR COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT. THE VIBRATION IS FELT THROUGH THE CAR AND THE REAR MIRROR IMAGE IS BLURRED WHILE DRIVING. A FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. HAS TOLD ME THIS VIBRATION IS "NORMAL" AND "NO REPAIR IS NEEDED". THEY REFUSE TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE FURTHER OR FIX THIS DEFECT. I WONDER, IF IT IS NORMAL WHY DID THEY TRY TO FIX IT TWICE. IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS OR IF THEY WERE DESIGNED SO A VIBRATION CAN SHAKE YOUR BODY WHILE DRIVING, AS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP IS IMPLYING, THEN THE CONSUMER SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OR NOTIFIED OF THIS VIBRATION CHARACTERISTIC BEFORE PURCHASING. NOTE, THAT WHILE THE SERVICE DEPT. WAS ATTEMPTING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THE SHOP FOREMAN TOLD ME HE DROVE FOUR NEW CARS FROM THEIR STOCK AND FOUND 3 OF THEM TO HAVE THIS VIBRATION DEFECT. NOW IN MY VEHICLE IT APPEARS THAT THE VIBRATION IS CAUSING THE REAR AXLE DIFFERENTIAL SEAL TO START LEAKING. I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT A INVESTIGATION BE STARTED INTO THIS MATTER TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT OR NUMBER OF VEHICLES THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SENSATION. REGARDLESS FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THESE DEFECT ON ALL VEHICLES AFFECTED OR REFUND THE CONSUMERS THE PURCHASED PRICE OF THE VEHICLE IF THEY CANNOT FIX IT.

STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG LIGHT ON AND APPARENTLY NO REPLACEMENT BAGS AVAILABLE

TEMPORARY LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE DUE TO SHAKING, POPPING, VIBRATION AND LOUD NOISE FROM STEERING ASSEMBLY, CAR WHEELS AND STEERING WHEEL WHEN INITIATING INITIAL MOVEMENT OF VEHICLE FROM A COLD CONDITION (STARTUP FROM A COLD/PARKED STATE). THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS IN THE FOUR MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT WHERE A DEER JUMPED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I SWERVED AND MY CAR WENT THROUGH A BRICK MAILBOX. MY AIRBAGS TOOK A WHILE TO COME OUT, BUT WHEN THEY DID I WAS BURNED AND BLISTERED.
