Summary

On 11/27/21 I was driving my 2019 mustang GT convertible with approx 15,000 miles. While going around a curve (not at an excessive speed) on dry pavement, the car became uncontrollable and began to spin out. As much as I tried to brake and steer into the slide, the car became more and more uncontrollable and felt as though it were speeding up. I only came to a stop after slamming into a tree and rolling over to the other side of the road. Vehicle is a total loss. I was lucky and only suffered minor injuries, but it very easily could have been much worse. The police and paramedics who arrived at the scene were expecting a fatality or severe injuries. In the end I was ticketed for failure to reduce speed. I'm losing my mind explaining to the police and insurance that the car sped up on its own and all control of the vehicle were lost. I am in danger of losing my license because of this and no one is believing that this could possibly happen and convinced me to state that I was probably driving too fast. This is a deadly problem. The internet is full of videos demonstrating this same problem: complete loss of control in a low speed turn. Before you ask, I wasn't racing, I wasn't drifting, I wasn't spinning my tires or doing donuts; I was just trying to go home to my kids who almost lost their father. If there is any saved data or physical evidence that needs to be saved, action is needed ASAP before the insurance company scraps it. Also, it should be noted that in the week leading up to the accident, the rear end would become loose when going around corners. I had planned to have it addressed at the next oil change.

Summary

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that the vehicle was jerking while idling at a stop light. The failure recurred while driving at highway speeds exceeding 65 MPH. The contact stated that the vehicle would eventually regain stability. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and the radiator cooling fan was replaced. The dealer also diagnosed that the transmission gasket was leaking. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the failure recurred while driving 80 MPH. The contact depressed the brake pedal and the PUSH to START button simultaneously to regain normal vehicle operation. The failure persisted; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.

Summary

The 10 speed automatic transmission is not shifting properly. The car lurches and it feels/sounds like the transmission is going to fall out of the car when putting the car in drive or reverse from park. There is hesitation while shifting during acceleration. The car should downshift to a lower gear when extra power is needed. Also, the transmission shifts hard when coming to a stop and feels like undo wear and tear is being placed on the transmission. The issues I am having are the same I see other Ford Mustang and Ford F150 owners are having with the transmission. I want this issue fixed and the car is available for inspection. Also, this issue has been ongoing since Jan 2021 when I purchased the car used.

Summary

While driving on highways, passenger door will suddenly partially unlatch and open door warning tone and advisory displays on the dash. I must pull over in order to open and reclose the door. First event was several months ago and I assumed it was an isolated event. It has increased in frequency to at least once a week. The door is closed and locked yet it comes partially unlatched and seems to only occur at highway speeds between 60mph and 75mph. Highly distracting when driving on interstate highway and I am unsure if it comes unlatched all the way since I have not had a passenger when this occurs. Poses safety hazard both as distraction and unsafe door lock.

ON OCTOBER 20, 2020 I WAS DRIVING MY 2019 FORD MUSTANG 5.0 GT TO WORK. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I BEGAN TO SMELL A BURNING PLASTIC ODOR. IT GOT STRONGER SO I PULLED MY CAR OVER ON THE SHOULDER TO INSPECT IT. I GOT OUT AND GOT DOWN ON MY KNEES TO CHECK AROUND MY STEERING COLUMN, UNDER MY DASH AND DRIVER SEAT BUT SAW NOTHING HOWEVER THE ODOR OF BURNING PLASTIC GOT STRONGER. I WENT AROUND TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DID THE SAME INSPECTION AS I DID ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. AS I WAS DOING THIS, I LOOKED UP AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM UP UNDER MY DRIVER'S SEAT. I RAN AROUND TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND FIRE WAS COMING UP FROM UNDER THE SEAT AND SHOOTING UP THE BACK OF MY DRIVER'S SEAT. I GRABBED MY PURSE AND WORK BOOKLET, GRABBED MY PHONE AND DIALED 911. THE INSIDE OF MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES IN LESS THAN 1 MINUTE. TRAFFIC STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE SMALL EXPLOSIONS AND FLAMES. FIRE TRUCKS, HIGHWAY PATROL AND SHERIFF'S STARTED SHOWING UP AND A SHORT WHILE LATER THE CAR WAS FINALLY EXTINGUISHED AND TOWED AWAY.*DT*JB*DT*DT*DT

Summary

I NOTICED PREMATURE INNER TIRE WEAR ON THE FRONT LEFT TIRE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THEY VERIFIED THE ALIGNMENT WAS INCORRECT ON MY VEHICLE AND CAUSED THE TIRE DAMAGE BUT WOULD NOT WARRANTY COMPONENTS DUE TO "AFTERMARKET WHEELS AND TIRES" INSTALLED ON THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER. CUSTOMER RELATIONS CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE ALIGNMENT WAS CORRECT (DESPITE A PRINT OUT GIVEN TO ME SHOWING IMPROPER ALIGNMENT). CUSTOMER RELATIONS SUGGESTED I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER AND INSTALL MY FACTORY WHEELS AND TIRES ON THE VEHICLE. I DID AS SUGGESTED. THE SECOND DEALER CORRECTED MY ALIGNMENT ISSUE AND SUBMITTED A CLAIM FOR TIRE REPLACEMENT. FORD DENIED THE WARRANTY. I CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER AND THEY STATED "MOST COMMONLY THIS IS DUE TO AFTERMARKET PARTS BEING INSTALLED". I REITERATED THAT THERE WAS "AFTERMARKET WHEELS AND TIRES" INSTALLED ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE BUT THE FACTORY PARTS WERE RE-INSTALLED DUE TO THEIR SUGGESTIONS. MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS 18,557 MILES ON IT AFTER VISITING 2 DEALERSHIPS WITH NO PREVAIL AND I AM EXPECTED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE TIRES THAT WERE DAMAGED AT NO FAULT OF MY OWN WHILE FORD HIDES BEHIND MODIFIED PARTS THAT ARE IN NO WAY RELATED TO INCORRECT FRONT ALIGNMENT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY GT350 ON A HIGHWAY AT AROUND 55 MPH THE ENGINE MADE METALLIC GRINDING NOISES SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING. I INSTINCTIVELY PRESSED IN THE CLUTCH PEDAL AND THEN ENGINE STOPPED SPINNING AND LOCKED UP. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE IN AN AREA WITH A PULL-OFF AREA AND THIN TRAFFIC. IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS AT HIGHER SPEEDS, IN THICKER TRAFFIC, OR WITH A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER. ONCE STOPPED, I CHECKED THE CAR AND CONFIRMED THAT THE STARTER COULD NOT SPIN THE MOTOR DUE TO MECHANICAL FAILURE. THERE WERE ONLY ABOUT 450 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I WAS LATER TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE ENGINE HAD AN ISSUE WITH A ROCKER AND VALVE, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE FAIL AND LOCK UP. A REPLACEMENT ENGINE ALSO HAD 'VALVETRAIN NOISE' AND WAS DETERMINED TO BE NO GOOD BY THE DEALER. I DID NOT SEE OR USE THE CAR WITH THAT ENGINE. BEYOND THAT, THIS ISSUE IS STILL UNRESOLVED AS THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED.

ON 7/12/19, IT BEGAN TO RAIN AND I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED THE WIPERS ON AND ONCE AGAIN, AS I TRIED TO TURN UP THE SPEED, THEY SHUT OFF AND DID NOT COME BACK ON.
