WHILE TURNING IN A PARKING LOT THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED UPSIDE DOWN AND THE WHEELS WERE LOCKED TO THE RIGHT. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. I WENT INTO A STORE AND WHEN I CAME OUT AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THREE RESTARTS DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I FINALLY MANUALLY CRANKED THE WHEEL UNTIL I HEARD A LOUD THUD AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AGAIN AT WHICH POINT THE ISSUE RESOLVED. I DRIVE 110 MILES EACH WAY TO WORK. THE MUSTANG HAS 68,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN GET PEOPLE KILLED. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON OTHER MODELS IN THE SAME YEAR BY FORD WITH THE SAME SYSTEM. I WILL BE TRADING THE CAR ASAP. THESE CARS ARE DEATH TRAPS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. THIS IS A DOCUMENTED ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES.
Jun 22, 2018
INTERMITTENT STEERING ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING, WHICH CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO VIOLENTLY JERK OUT OF YOUR HANDS WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IT FAILS, ITS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN ALL DRIVING SITUATIONS - DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, STUCK IN TRAFFIC, PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, ETC. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY, AND RIDICULOUS FORD HASN'T ISSUED A WARRANTY FOR THEIR STEERING ISSUE.

6/22/2015: I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY CAR SUDDENLY TURNED OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. IT IS VERY SUBTLE WHEN IT HAPPENED; NO JERKY MOVEMENT NOTICED. I REALIZED WHAT HAVE HAPPENED AFTER MY FAILED ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO USE THE CAR'S MOMENTUM TO MAKE IT TO A PARKING LOT. I STEP OUT AND EXAMINED MY CAR BUT NOTHING WAS OUT OF THE ORDINARY. AFTER 10 MINUTES, I ATTEMPTED TO START IT UP (FIRST ATTEMPT AFTER INCIDENT) AND IT STARTED UP NORMALLY.

I HAVE A 2011 MUSTANG THAT I KEEP COVERED AND CLEAN ALWAYS. THIS MONTH THE PAINT ON THE FRONT EDGE OF THE HOOD STARTED BUBBLING. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND HAVE DONE NOTHING AND WOULD DO NOTHING TO FIX IT. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL FORD. I CALLED FORD AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WRITE A LETTER OF COMPLAINT TO FORD. NOTHING IS RESOLVED. IF THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THIS MATTER, PLEASE ADD MY NAME TO THE LIST OF CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE BEEN WRONGED. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED FORDS BUT WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER IF THEY DO NOT MAKE THIS RIGHT.

CORROSION ISSUES UNDER THE PAINT ON THE HOOD OF MY MUSTANG, 18050 MILE, GARAGE KEPT. FORD HAS HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH CORROSION ISSUES UNDER THE PAINT ON SO MANY VEHICLES. SOMEONE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS FOR THE CONSUMER. OUT OF WARRANTY IS THE ONLY ANSWER YOU GET FROM FORD. THE HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS SINCE 2004, STILL NO RESULTS FOR THE OWNERS. YOU WOULD BE A [XXX] FOOL TO BUY ONE OF THE NEW F-150'S DUE TO STEEL TO ALUMINUM CONTACT CORROSION. IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, MARK THESE WORDS. HELP THE CONSUMER PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM FORD, JUST TAKE THE TIME TO REVIEW PEOPLES ISSUES BY SEARCHING "FORD CORROSION ISSUES" ON THE NET! MAKE AMERICA GREAT BY STANDING UP TO THEM FOR THE CONSUMER PLEASE PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I NOTICED A YEAR AND A HALF AGO THE PAINT ON THE HOOD WAS BUBBLING UP SO I WENT TO 2 DEALERSHIPS AND ASKED WHAT CAN BE DONE. BOTH SAID NOTHING. IT HAS TO RUST BEFORE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. NOW, HALF OF THE FRONT OF THE HOOD'S PAINT HAS BUBBLED UP AND PEELED OFF. THIS CHEAP PAINT ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR FORD.
Oct 04, 2016
THERE IS BUBBLING PAINT ON THE ALUMINUM HOOD OF MY CAR. THE CORROSION AND BLISTERING IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS. THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE. THIS IS NO FAULT OF MINE. GARAGED AND ONLY 32,500 MILES. SMALL AMOUNTS OF BUBBLING HAS BEEN PRESENT FOR A WHILE, AND RECENTLY SPREAD TO A LARGER AREA. THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE HOOD.

THERE WERE MANY INCIDENTS WITH MY MUSTANG 5.0 BUT THIS WAS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT. THE PROBLEM IS AS I FOUND OUT TWO YEARS LATER IS THAT THE WIDTH OF THE OEM TIRES AND WHEELS ARE TOO NARROW FOR THE WEIGHT AND POWER OF THIS VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING ON EL CAMINO REAL AND I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY BECAUSE A CAR CAME ON THE ROAD UNEXPECTEDLY AND THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME HIT THE BRAKES AND SO I DID BUT MY CAR JUST KEPT SLIDING FORWARD, IT LOST GRIP WITH THE ASPHALT COMPLETELY. I EXPERIENCED SIMILAR SITUATIONS MANY TIMES WHEN TAKING TURNS WHERE MY REAR WOULD SPIN AROUND THE FRONT WHICH RENDERS THE CAR OUT OF CONTROL SWINGING LEFT AND RIGHT IN BOTH LANES ON THE ROAD. IF ITS WET OUT I WOULDN'T EVEN PUSH THE ACCELERATOR MUCH BECAUSE IT JUST CAUSES THE REAR WHEELS TO SPIN. I JUST CHANGED MY BACK TIRES TO A WIDER SIZE AND THE PROBLEMS ARE GREATLY DIMINISHED OR GONE. I AM SURPRISED THAT ALL THE ENGINEERS AND TEST DRIVERS FROM FORD WOULD LET SUCH A GREAT CAR DRIVE LIKE SANTA'S SLED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 V6 MUSTANG THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY LOOSE POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON SIDE STREETS. THERE IS NO WARNING. THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR IS FORCED TO IDLE. NO RESPONSE AT ALL TO THROTTLE INPUT. ERROR CODE READ IS P2111 WHICH INDICATES "THROTTLE ACTUATOR "A" CONTROL SYSTEM - STUCK OPEN". IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE THROTTLE BODY IN THIS VEHICLE IS THE SAME AS USED IN OTHER FORD VEHICLES. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THOSE OTHER VEHICLES BUT EVERYONE SUFFERING FROM THIS ON THE V6 MUSTANG IS ON THEIR OWN. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS FOR PEOPLE ACCELERATING TO MERGE AND VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR HAVE TO LIMP TO THE SHOULDER THROUGH TRAFFIC AT IDLE. I HAVE ALREADY PAID $300 FOR A FULL THROTTLE BODY SERVICE AND THE SAME THING IS STILL HAPPENING.
Apr 07, 2016
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE LEFT LANE OF THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY, A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY BETWEEN FT. LAUDERDALE AND MIAMI, I LOST ALL THROTTLE RESPONSE. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND I WENT FROM 60 MPH DOWN TO NOTHING BY THE TIME I WAS OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CARS BEHIND ME WERE OBVIOUSLY BRAKING HARD TO AVOID SMASHING INTO ME. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAS ABOUT TO CALL AAA, BUT THE HEAT INDEX THAT DAY WAS AROUND A MILLION DEGREES SO I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. THE THROTTLE RESPONSE HAD RETURNED SO I CAUTIOUSLY LIMPED THE CAR BACK HOME IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE THE WHOLE WAY. I THOUGHT IT WAS SOME FREAK COMPUTER GLITCH UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN GOING TO THE STORE THE NEXT DAY. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND BEFORE I EVEN GOT THE PROBLEM OOUT OF MY MOUTH THE SERVICE TECH SAID " IT IS YOUR THROTTLE BODY. WE SEE THIS ALL THE TIME. IT WILL BE ABOUT $800 TO REPAIR". IF THE TECHS ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT DANGEROUS SITUATIONS THE HAVE BEEN PLACED IN AS A RESULT, AND THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM IN OTHER FORD MODELS, THEN WHY HASN'T THE NHTSA DONE ANYTHING TO FORCE FORD TO RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE MUSTANG? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST? HAS SOMEBODY DIED BECAUSE OF THIS?

MY 2011 V6 FORD MUSTANG HAS NOW STALLED SEVERAL TIMES GOING DOWN THE ROAD. HAS HAPPENED AT BOTH HIGH AND SLOWER SPEEDS. AFTER PULLING OVER AND WAITING A FEW MINUTES, CAR STARTS AND RUNS OKAY UNTIL THE NEXT UNEXPECTED STALL. REPAIR SHOP REVEALED NO CODES. VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM!
Jul 05, 2015
WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 FORD MUSTANG DOWN THE ROAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND LOST ALL POWER, THE ENGINE NEVER DIED BUT WOULD ONLY IDLE VERY ROUGH. I TOOK IT TO HAVE THE CODE READ OUT, IT SHOWED A CODE P2111 THROTTLE BODY ACTUATOR WIDE OPEN. IT HAS DONE THE SAME THING 2 TIMES TODAY. ONCE YOU PULL OVER AND CUT THE ENGINE OFF THEN RESTART IT WILL RUN FINE, BUT NOT FOR LONG BEFORE DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. I GOT ONLINE TO SEE WHAT THE CODE P2111 MEANS, TO MY SURPRISE THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM ON MUSTANGS, ESCAPES, AND FUSIONS. FORD HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON CERTAIN THROTTLE BODIES.THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM LOOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGH WAY. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AT THE SPEED LIMIT (75 MPH IN THIS AREA OF TEXAS) AND HAD JUST CHANGED LANES WHEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO, I KEPT PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ABLE TO GO UP AN OFF RAMP AND PULL OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE MUSTANG STARTED TO MAKE A NOISE AND SHUTTERED, SO I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE BEING AFRAID THAT THE ENGINE WOULD BE DAMAGED. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND CALL FOR HELP. THE ENGINE STARTED TO SHUTTER AGAIN AND THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT WORK. ALSO, LUCKILY A FORD DEALERSHIP WAS WITH A MILE SO I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO IT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A STUCK THROTTLE BODY AND CHARGED A DEDUCTABLE FOR A DEFECTIVE PART THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL ON A LONG TIME AGO. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND WHILE ON THE BUSY HIGHWAY AND INJURED OR KILLED. ALSO MY TRANSMISSION FILLS VERY "JERKY" AT TIMES WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR AFTER STOPPING AND STARTING AGAIN FROM A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I AM VERY GLAD THAT MY MUSTANG IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

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

2011 MUSTANG GT WITH 6477 MILES, WITH 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. TAKING OFF FROM A STOP SIGN AND ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR, RESULTED IN ONLY BEING ABLE TO SHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR TO NEUTRAL. ONCE THE SHIFTER MOVED INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION, THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER ABLE TO SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR. HAD TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE STOPPING POINT WITH NO ENGINE POWER AND TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER FOR REPAIR. THIS IS THE 2ND INCIDENT WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR, WITH THE PRIOR INCIDENT BEING A FAULTY SLAVE CLUTCH CYLINDER. (THIS VEHICLE IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE 'SKIP SHIFT' FEATURE THAT IS MEANT TO INCREASE GAS MILEAGE BY LOCKING OUT CERTAIN GEARS.) *TR

HEADING UP A HILL AND HEARD A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. CAR STOPPED IN PLACE AND WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS. TRIED PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE AND WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. ALSO TRIED PUTTING IN NEUTRAL AND IT STILL WOULD NOT MOVE. HAD CAR TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHECKED THE CAR OUT AND STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION "GRENADED" AS IT STATED ON THE WORK ORDER. I GOT TO SEE WHAT THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED LIKE. IT HAD PIECES OF METAL EVERYWHERE AND THE LONG BEARINGS WERE ALL SHATTERED INTO PIECES. A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS ORDERED AND PLACED IN THE CAR. *TR

2011 MUSTANG GT WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION- INABILITY TO SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR. IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS I WAS STUCK SLOWING DOWN INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE CAR IS BEEN IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES. ALSO HAS SEVERE KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE THAT GOES WAY AFTER 5 MINUTES. FORD STATES THIS IS PISTON RATTLE AND THEY TRIED A SOFTWARE FIX. NOTHING HELPED.I'M AFRAID OF THE ENGINE DAMAGE OR CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE YOUTUBE VIDEOS POSTED LABELED 2011 MUSTANG KNOCK. FORD IS AWARE...

THE "SERVICE AUTOTRACK" LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS PULLING OUT FROM A PARKING SPACE IN THE MORNING, AND THE POWER TO THE BACK WHEELS WAS REDUCED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, AND WAS INFORMED OF A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN THE GPAS SYSTEM THAT COULD CAUSE THE STEERING TO FAIL. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE VEHICLE, AS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THIS GPAS SYSTEM DEFECT. FORD IS NOT CURRENTLY MANUFACTURING REPLACEMENT GPAS SYSTEMS, THEY HAVE OUTSOURCED TO AN OUTSIDE COMPANY (PER THE FORD CUSTOMER CARE REPRESENTATIVE) AND IT IS GOING TO TAKE SIX WEEKS TO GET THE PART. *TR

I ARRIVED HOME FROM WORK AND NOTICED SOME COOLANT LEAKING OUT OF MY CAR. I POPPED THE HOOD AND SAW COOLANT SEEPING FROM THE WEEP HOLE. WHEN I CRANKED THE CAR BACK UP, COOLANT STARTED POURING OUT UNDERNEATH THE CAR, BAD WATER PUMP. I HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP TODAY AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON THE HOSE LEADING TO WATER PUMP BECAUSE IT ALLOWS AIR IN AND CAUSES THE WATER PUMP TO FAIL. THE ENTIRE AREA HAS TO BE REPLACED WITH A NEW HOSE THAT INCLUDES A CHECK VALVE, SO IT DOESN'T CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I WAS TOLD ANY CAR THAT CAME IN WITHOUT A CHECK VALVE HAS TO BE REPLACED WITH THE NEW HOSE INCLUDING A CHECK VALVE AND THAT I HAVE TO INCUR THE ENTIRE EXPENSE $486 PLUS TAX BECAUSE HOSES ARE NOT COVERED BY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I CALLED FORD AND WAS TOLD DUE TO NO RECALL, I WOULD NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS SERVICE. EVEN THOUGH, HE ALSO ADMITTED THAT THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ISSUED BY FORD REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS AND THE SAME PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE MUSTANG FORUMS. FORD IS REFUSING TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. LUCKILY, I WAS AT HOME WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND NOT OUT TRAVELING THE HIGHWAY. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO OVERHEAT AND AN ACCIDENT CAN OCCUR. FORD IS REFUSING TO COVER ANY COST OF THE REPAIR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERNS NUMEROUS CONSUMERS, NOT JUST ME.

DRIVING UP HILL GOING ABOUT 20. ORANGE WRENCH ICON COMES ON AND I LOSE ALL ACCELERATION. HAD TO PULL OVER GOING UP A HILL LOSING ACCELERATION FAST WHEN CARS ARE PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. BARELY MADE IT TO A TURN AND PARKED MY CAR. HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND WAIT A MINUTE AND TURN IT BACK ON. TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME. CALLED FORD DEALERSHIP AND ASKED WHAT COULD BE THE ISSUE. THE MECHANIC SAID IT COULD BE ONE OF TWO THINGS. TOOK THE CAR IN TO GET A DTC CODE AND THEY COULDN'T FIND IT. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. 4 DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED GOING 60. HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE IGNITION. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN. NO CODE. THEY TELL ME IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE STILL. THREE DAYS LATER IT HAPPENS AGAIN ON THE SAME ROAD GOING 60. CERTAIN PART OF THIS ROAD HAVE NO PLACE TO PULL OVER. HAVE TO DRIFT MY CAR FOR A BIT TO GET TO A SAFE AREA. ALMOST GET REAR ENDED. CALL DEALERSHIP. THEY TELL ME THE EARLIEST THEY CAN SEE ME IS ONE WEEK AWAY. THIS MORNING ON THE WAY TO WORK IT CRAPS OUT ON ME 5 TIMES IN 20 MINUTES. LUCKILY IT WAS 5 AM AND THERE WERE FEW PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. I DO THE SAME THING AND RESTART THE CAR. I USED MY TUNER THIS TIME AND GOT A CODE OF P2111 - THROTTLE BODY ACTUATOR CODE. I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH OTHER FORDS AS WELL AND CHECKING THE MESSAGE BOARDS FOR THE MUSTANGS AND I HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW OF THESE INCIDENTS, BUT I DID NOT SEE WHERE THE NHTSA WAS LOOKING AT THE MUSTANGS. MAYBE THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE A LAWSUIT HAPPENS BECAUSE OF THIS? THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE NO MATTER WHAT THEY TELL ME.

DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ETB) AS PER CODE P2111. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EXCLUDING MUSTANGS FROM THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03 - WHICH CLEARLY STATES THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH ETBS DURING THIS TIME. LOOKING OVER THE INTERNET, IT IS CLEAR THAT 2011 MUSTANGS WHERE BUILT WITH THE SAME TYPE OF ETB AS THE MODELS COVERED UNDER THE PROGRAM (FUSION, ESCAPE, MERCURY MARINER AND MERCURY MILAN). THE PROGRAM EXTENDS THE WARRANTY ON THE THROTTLE BODY TO A TOTAL OF 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES FROM THE WARRANTY START DATE, WHICH EVER OCCURS FIRST. THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS IT BASICALLY STALLS AND CANNOT BE RESTARTED WITHOUT TURNING THE IGNITION COMPLETELY OFF - WHICH IN TURN TURNS OFF POWER ASSET TO STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS STALLING CONDITION OCCURS RANDOMLY WITHOUT WARNING IN TRAFFIC. IN THIS CASE VEHICLE BARELY OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY. *TR

AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THE BATTERY RESET THE CAR WAS WORKING LIKE NORMAL FOR A FEW DAYS.

2011 FORD MUSTANG 3.7L V6 CONVERTIBLE, PREMIUM, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THROTTLE BODY FAILURE (PART # AT4Z-9E926-B) WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATES, THE DASHBOARD 'WRENCH LIGHT' COMES ON, THE FRONT END OF THE CAR RUMBLES AND SHAKES, AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE, FORCING ME TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS AT MODERATE SPEED ON LOCAL ROADS AND AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IF I PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES, AND THEN RESTART, IT USUALLY RUNS NORMALLY. ON ONE OCCASION, IT DID NOT. IT DECELERATED AND THEN STALLED COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOUR WAY INTERSECTION WHILE I WAS ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER BEING TOLD THERE 'WAS NO CODE,' SO THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I COASTED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTED IT, AFTER WHICH IT RAN FOR ABOUT A MINUTE, SHOOK VIOLENTLY, AND THEN STALLED. EVERY INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD WAS ILLUMINATED. IT SEEMED AS IF THE CAR WAS CHOKING. I REPEATED THIS OVER AND OVER, CREEPING DOWN THE SHOULDER, BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. IN MY CASE, THIS PART HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, MOST RECENTLY ON OCT 29, 2019. ACCORDING TO MY SERVICE RECORDS, PART # AT4Z-9E926-B WAS USED FOR EACH REPLACEMENT. APPARENTLY, FORD REPLACES A DEFECTIVE PART WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH A DIFFERENT OR IMPROVED PART THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM ONCE AND FOR ALL. 2015: CODE P2135, REPLACED THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY 2016: SENT AWAY FROM DEALERSHIP, NO FAULT CODES, UNABLE TO VERIFY 2016: RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP SHORTLY AFTER I WAS SENT AWAY; CODE P0315, REPLACED THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY 2016: CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 16B23, REIMBURSED FOR THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT 2019: NO FAULT CODE NOTED ON SERVICE PAPERWORK, REPLACED THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY

THIS CAR HAS ONLY 25,400 MILES ON IT AND THE COST WAS $1047.00 PLUS LABOR OF $505.50. TOTAL COST $1549,00 PLUS I HAD TO PAY $60,00 FOR A RENTAL CAR. A CAR WITH THIS MANY MILES ON IT, SHOULD NOT NEED TO HAVE THIS KIND OF REPAIR (EPAS COMPONENT) REPLACED. THIS WAS A DEFECTIVE COMPONENT AND I BELIEVE THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD HONOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS PART, LABOR AND RENTAL CAR BY ISSUING A CREDIT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED FOR. *TR

THE HEAD RESTRAINT DESIGN ON THE 2011 FORD MUSTANG IS DEFECTIVE FOR TALLER DRIVERS. I AM 6' 1" BUT MY 5' 8" WIFE ALSO COMPLAINS. EVEN AT ITS TALLEST ADJUSTMENT, I MUST HOLD MY HEAD FORWARD IN AN UNNATURAL AND FATIGUING POSITION. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS COMPLAINT, AS THE MUSTANG FORUMS ARE FILLED WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DRIVERS -- MANY OF WHOM REPORT SIMPLY REMOVING THE HEAD RESTRAINT ALTOGETHER. ACCORDING TO THE FORUMS, FORD SAYS TO INCREASE THE ANGLE OF THE SEATBACK, BUT THEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TOO FAR AWAY -- AND I DO NOT HAVE SHORT ARMS (35" SLEEVE LENGTH). MY CURRENT SOLUTION IS TO RAISE THE HEAD RESTRAINT ABOUT 2" HIGHER THAN THE HIGHEST DETENT PROVIDED BY FORD. EVEN THOUGH THE UNIT IS STILL IN PLACE, AND SEEMS SECURE WHEN I PUSH ON IT, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HOW IT WILL PERFORM IN A CRASH BECAUSE IT IS NOT LATCHED INTO PLACE AND THERE'S LESS OF THE RODS DOWN IN THE SEATBACK FOR SUPPORT. THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE IS TO REMOVE THE UNIT ALTOGETHER, AS SOME OTHER MUSTANG OWNERS HAVE REPORTED DOING. FORD'S DESIGN FORCES TALLER DRIVERS INTO ONE OF THREE UNSAFE MODES: 1. DRIVE THE CAR WITH ONES HEAD TILTED FORWARD IN A POSITION THAT IS BOTH TIRING AND DISTRACTING. 2. REMOVE THE HEAD RESTRAINT ENTIRELY. 3. RAISE THE HEAD RESTRAINT ABOVE THE HIGHEST DETENT LEAVING IT FREE TO MOVE AND ALSO WITH QUESTIONABLE AMOUNT OF ROD IN THE SEATBACK. *TR

I have a beautiful 2011 Ford Mustang that has been rendered useless because the brake lights and turn signals continually blow a fuse. The car cannot be repaired because Ford quit making the needed part after the car was 8 years old. This not only creates an unnecessary expense of purchasing a new car it is also a safety hazard. After extensively searching for the part on the internet I found many cases of people needing that part with no luck finding it. As info the part number is AR3Z13C788F. How many people will be driving around without brake lights and turn signals because Ford decided brake lights aren't necessary after a car is 8 years old.

THE TRACTION CONTROL ENERGIZED AND APPLIED BRAKES TEMPORARILY WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE ABOUT MAY 20, 2014. YESTERDAY, IT TEMPORARILY ACTIVATED AGAIN DURING A U-TURN ON A CITY STREET. ABOUT A BLOCK LATER I ENTERED THE FREEWAY AND APPROACHED 70MPH THEN IT ACTIVATED AND KEPT PULSING THE BRAKES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW QUICKLY. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND HAD TO MOVE OVER 3 LANES TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. AS I APPROACHED THE SHOULDER THE SYSTEM DISENGAGED AND I HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS THE REST OF THE DAY.

WITH NO WARNING THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY WILL FAIL CAUSING THE CAR TO RAPIDLY DECELERATE TO ITS IDLE SPEED. IN MY CASE IT HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THE MOTORIST BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR-ENDED MY CAR, AND SEVERAL OTHER HAD TO COME TO A SCREECHING HALT. THE PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS, SINCE IT CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME IN TRAFFIC. IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON. SINCE THE ISSUE IS KNOWN IN OTHER FORD VEHICLES OF THE SAME MODEL YEAR RANGE, THE COMPANY SHOULD BE COMMUNICATING THE ISSUE TO CUSTOMERS AND PROACTIVELY REPLACING THE FAULTY PART.

WHEN THE CAR WAS ABOUT 3 YEARS OLD, I STARTED TO FEEL A QUICK LOSS OF POWER IN THE STEERING WHEN MAKING A TURN. IT HAD ONLY LASTED A SECOND AND ONLY HAPPENED AT LOW SPEED IN PARKING LOTS BUT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING SO I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER IN FULLERTON CA. THEY SAID IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM AND THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARED BUT THEN REAPPEARED ABOUT A YEAR LATER. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT CAUSE IT WAS ONLY OCCASIONALLY AT LOW SPEED FOR A HALF SECOND IN PARKING LOTS. THEN IN THE MORNING OF OCTOBER 16, 2015, THE STEERING OF THE CAR LOCKED WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS. TWO YELLOW WARNING LIGHTS THEN CAME ON IN THE DASH AND THE STEERING RELEASED. ONE WARNING LIGHT SAID "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC." I SLOWLY DROVE IT TO THE FORD DEALER IN FULLERTON ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS SINCE IT WAS NEARBY. I NO LONGER FELT SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. I TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM. THEY KEPT THE CAR UNTIL OCTOBER 20. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME HE HAD TO CHANGE THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING SYSTEM BECAUSE OF AN INTERNAL FAILURE AND THE CHARGE TO ME WAS $1733. I COMPLAINED BUT HAD NO CHOICE SINCE I NEEDED THE CAR REPAIRED. I HAVE SEEN VERY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT OTHER MUSTANGS. FORD RECALLED SEVERAL OTHER MODELS EARLIER THIS YEAR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM; 'A POTENTIAL INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IN THE STEERING GEAR' THAT FORD SAYS 'MIGHT RESULT IN THE LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER-STEERING ASSIST WHILE DRIVING.' THESE MODELS INCLUDED 2011'2012 FORD FUSION, 2011'2013 FORD TAURUS, 2011'2013 FORD FLEX, AND 2011'2013 LINCOLN. I BELIEVE FORD KNEW OF THE PROBLEM BUT DECIDED TO PASS THE COST OF REPAIR TO AFFECTED CUSTOMERS RATHER THAN DO THE RECALL OF THAT MODEL. THIS RISKED THE LIFE OF MYSELF AND OTHERS BECAUSE IT RESULTED IN A LOSS OF CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. I BELIEVE I AM ENTITLED TO THE COST OF THIS REPAIR FROM FORD. THANK YOU. *TR

THIS APPEARS TO BE SOME TYPE OF FACTORY GOOF UP AND IT REALLY MAKES FORD LOOK BAD (THIS IS MY FIRST FORD).

WHEN I WENT TO PULL OVER I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND IT WAS HARD LIKE A ROCK AND WAS PULSATING, I THEN KICKED THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD AND EVERYTHING RETURNED TO NORMAL. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR THE 3RD TIME AND THEY SAID NO PROBLEM FOUND. *TR

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES 2 WEEKS AFTER I GOT THE CAR. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH BY THE HEAD ENGINEER, THEY FOUND THAT FORD WAS USING 2010 BRAKES AND NEVER TOLD THE MECHANICS THAT THERE ARE 2011 BRAKES THEY SHOULD BE USING. I WAS NOT ONLY HEARING SQUEAKING BUT GRINDING. AS OF NOW, I AM IN A LEMON LAW SUIT. FORD SAYS I AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RE-PURCHASE BUT THE LAW STATES IF THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME ISSUE 3 TIMES YOU ARE ELIGIBLE. I LOVE MY MUSTANG BUT SAFETY IS #1. *TR

ELECTRIC SEAT WON'T MOVE. HAVE READ COUNTLESS OTHERS HAVING SAME PROBLEM ONLINE. THE ISSUE IS A FACTORY DEFECT. MAGNETS INSIDE ELECTRIC MOTOR OF POWER SEATS ARE PUT IN PLACE WITH GLUE THAT COMES UNDONE EASILY INSIDE MOTOR CAUSING IT TO BE UNABLE TO MOVE. DEALERSHIPS AND SHOPS COST TO REPLACE IS INSANE, NEVER BELOW $1000. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS I MOVED MY SEAT FAR BACK WHILE RELAXING BEFORE WORK AND WHEN I GOT OFF LATER THE SEAT WOULD NOT MOVE. FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS IMMEDIATELY.

THE LAST TWO MUSTANGS I PURCHASED (BOTH WERE NEW CARS) DEVELOPED ELECTRICAL ISSUES AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. MY CURRENT 2011 MUSTANG HAS HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITHIN THE CABIN OF THE CAR. IN ADDITION TO THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES, THE HOOD DEVELOPED PROBLEMS WITH THE PAINT SUCH AS BUBBLING, PEELING AND RUSTING. MY FRUSTRATION WITH FORD GROWS MORE INTENSE EACH TIME THE AIR-CONDITIONER, ALONG WITH NUMEROUS OTHER DEVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THE DASHBOARD, QUITS OPERATING AND THE WINDOWS WILL NOT FUNCTION. I OFTEN FIND MYSELF ENCOUNTERING THIS ISSUE ON A NINETY PLUS DEGREE DAY. THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE CAN OCCUR WHEN MOVING OR AT A COMPLETE STOP. THERE IS NO PATTERN TO WHEN IT HAPPENS, OR WHICH ELECTRICAL ITEMS WILL QUIT FUNCTIONING. IT DOES HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WITH WARMER TEMPERATURES AND THE AIR-CONDITIONER IS IN USE. HOWEVER, IT ALSO OCCURS WHEN THE AIR-CONDITIONER IS NOT IN USE.

I AM HAVING MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHICH FORD WILL NOT ADDRESS. SOMETIMES THIS IS INTERMITTENT, SOMETIMES IT IS CONSTANT. HERE IS WHAT HAPPENS: I GET A BARRAGE OF ERRORS ON THE DASH, THE RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONER WILL CYCLE ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES (SOMETIMES WILL REMAIN OFF); REAR BRAKE LIGHTS STOP WORKING, REAR TURN SIGNAL STOPS WORKING. IT DOES THIS RANDOMLY, SOMETIMES FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. I WORRY THAT SOMEONE MAY NOT CHECK THE BRAKE LIGHTS OR TURN SIGNAL AND BE SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE ALERTED FORD ABOUT THIS AND BELIEVE THAT IT FELL ON DEAF EARS. THE CAR CAN BE IN MOTION, STATIONARY, CITY, HIGHWAY, RAIN, SNOW, SLEET, OR SUN, DRIVEN AGGRESSIVELY OR GENTLY. NOTHING SEEMS TO TRIGGER THE PROBLEM, IT JUST HAPPENS. THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED A LARGE PART OF ITS LIFE.

NO REAR TURN SIGNAL 3. NO HEAT/AIR (IT WILL TURN ON AND OFF) - WHICH IS BAD IN INCLEMENT WEATHER FOR OLD PEOPLE 4. BRAKE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR, SERVICE ENGINE, ALL HAVE ERRORS. 5. RADIO WILL TURN ON AND OFF. IT WILL CYCLE THROUGH THESE THINGS FAILING, THEY MAY FAIL MULTIPLE TIMES PER MINUTE OR JUST STAY IN FAIL MODE, OR THEY MAY JUST CORRECT THEMSELVES.

MY CAR STARTED TO NOT ONLY BLOW HOT AIR, BUT STARTED SMELLING MOLDY. MY CABIN AIR FILTER AND THE CARPARTMENT WAS FULL OF WATER. THE FILTER WAS SOAKING WET AND FULL OF MOLD. I CHANGE IT AND DRAINED THE WATER MYSELF. MY CAR AC RAN BETTER THAN EVER UP TO YESTERDAY. MY AC IS NOT BLOWING THE ICE COLD AIR AND THEIR IS LOTS OF WATER ON THE BACK FLOOR. I HAVE HEATED SEATS. THE ELECTRICAL PARTS ARE UNDER THE SEATS. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP I HAVE THE BEST WARRANTY BUT IT DOESN'T COVER WATER. IT DIDN'T COVER THE AC EITHER. I'M TOLD I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER $300+ TO FIX MY CAR WHEN THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH 2005- PRESENT MUSTANGS.

I WAS TOLD IT TOO WASN'T COVERED BY THE WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TO SEE WHAT IS CAUSING THE WARNING LIGHT ON MY DASH. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CARS AND START FIXING THEM. I HAVE SEVERE ALLERGIES.

THIS BEGAN AS OF LAST THURSDAY. I HAVE A 2011 FORD MUSTANG THAT I BOUGHT JUST LAST AUGUST. AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR SEEMED TO HAVE STALLED ON ME. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS POURING DOWN RAINING SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER INTO A PARKING LOT SINCE I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AFTER IT SEEMED TO VIBRATE A BIT, WAITED A FEW MOMENTS, TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT SEEMED FINE. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME AND PARK IT ONLY A FEW MILES FROM WHERE IT HAPPENED. I HAD A DOC APPOINTMENT LATER THAT DAY AND WAS ABLE TO GET THERE. IT WAS WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY HOME THAT IT HAPPENED AGAIN, ON THE FREEWAY! IT OCCURRED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY (FRIDAY) AS I WAS LEAVING FROM WORK. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AGAIN IN BUSY TRAFFIC AND IT HAPPENED TWICE EXCEPT THE SECOND TIME, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY DAD TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, IT WAS HOOKED UP TO THE COMPUTER AND NO CODE CAME BACK. COOLANT WAS PUT IN IT AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS CLEANED. EVERYTHING WAS FINE AFTERWARDS. TODAY, I'M DRIVING TO WORK AND IT GOES INTO LIMP MODE TWICE ON THE FREEWAY WHILE DRIVERS ARE SWERVING AROUND ME! THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL! I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY CAR SO THIS IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE FIXED ASAP. TO ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE BE CAREFUL. ONCE IT GOES INTO LIMP MODE, YOUR SPEED WILL DRASTICALLY DECREASE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE. IT IS SCARY BECAUSE NOT ALL PARTS OF THE FREEWAY HAVE A SHOULDER TO PULL OVER...THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT.

DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ETB) AS PER DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSIS. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EXCLUDING MUSTANGS FROM THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03 - WHICH CLEARLY STATES THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH ETBS DURING THIS TIME. LOOKING OVER THE INTERNET, IT IS CLEAR THAT SOME MUSTANGS WHERE BUILT WITH THE SAME TYPE OF ETB AS THE MODELS COVERED UNDER THE PROGRAM (FUSION, ESCAPE, MERCURY MARINER AND MERCURY MILAN). THE PROGRAM EXTENDS THE WARRANTY ON THE THROTTLE BODY TO A TOTAL OF 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES FROM THE WARRANTY START DATE, WHICH EVER OCCURS FIRST. THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS IT BASICALLY STALLS AND CANNOT BE RESTARTED WITHOUT TURNING THE IGNITION COMPLETELY OFF - WHICH IN TURN TURNS OFF POWER ASSET TO STEERING AND BRAKES.

IT STARTS BY VERY AGGRESSIVELY PULSING THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE, FOLLOWED BY THE REAR LEFT BRAKE, THEN ALTERNATING BRAKES ALL THE WAY AROUND CAUSING THE CAR TO SWERVE ALMOST OUT OF CONTROL, AT HIGHER SPEEDS LIKE 65-70 IT PROBABLY WOULD CAUSE TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL. THE ADVANCTRAC ALSO CUTS ENGINE POWER ALONG WITH THE HARD SWERVING MAKES IT EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO AVOID A CRASH IN MULTIPLE LANE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. THIS LAST FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS, BUT IT IS 15 SECONDS OF OUT OF CONTROL HIGHWAY TERROR. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE CAR ON THE 2 OCCASIONS IT THEN DRIVES FOR A WHILE LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED. WHEN THE FORD DEALER CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND IT DOES NOT RECORD ANY ERROR OR DIAGNOSTIC CODES IN THE CARS COMPUTER SYSTEM. SO FORD SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. TALKING WITH OTHER MUSTANG OWNERS I FOUND OUT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH ADVANCTRAC, AND ONE OTHER THAT I KNOW OF SAID HE ALSO FILLED A COMPLAINT ON HERE, HE SAID IT WAS COMPLAINT NUMBER - 10430166. HE ALSO SAID THAT FORD COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND HE ALSO HAD NO CODES, SO FORD WOULD NOT FIX HIS PROBLEM. SOMEHOW WE HAVE TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS MALFUNCTION, IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SAFETY SYSTEM TO HELP PROTECT YOU FROM A CRASH, NOT A COMPUTER MALFUNCTION THAT CAUSES A CRASH WHEN THE DRIVER IS DOING NOTHING WRONG ON GOOD ROAD CONDITIONS. PLEASE HELP! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH WHEN A THUMPING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S TIRE. THE VEHICLE STEERED TO THE RIGHT DESPITE THE CONTACT HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL IN A STRAIGHT POSITION. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE PROPERLY AND EMITTED A BANGING NOISE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE ALSO FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE MULTIPLE FAILURES OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,500.

THE OPERATING FREQUENCY OF PWM (PULSE WIDTH MODULATION) LED'S (LIGHT EMITTING DIODE) IS TOO LOW FOR SOME VIEWERS! THE EXTERNAL LIGHTING DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS NO. 108 SPECIFIES THAT LAMPS MUST BE STEADY BURNING. FORD HAS FAILED TO MEET THIS REQUIREMENT MAKING FOR A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING. THIS AFFECTS THEM AND OTHER DRIVERS BEING NEAR THIS VEHICLE WITH THE DIMINISHED SAFETY MARGIN. NOTE: ALL NEWER FORD'S (CAR'S, POLICE CARS, BUSES, TOW TRUCKS, TRUCK, ETC...) USING LED'S ARE AT FAULT, THE OPERATING FREQUENCY IS TO LOW MAKING FOR A VERY DANGEROUS NIGHT TIME SITUATION!!!!! THIS MUST BE REVIEWED AND CORRECTED. *TR

AFTER SEVERAL MILES UPHILL, THE VEHICLE HAD BEGUN TO TRAVEL DOWNHILL. AFTER LESS THAN ONE MILE, THE STEERING WAS UNRESPONSIVE; DRIVER'S INPUT ASSUMED HYDRAULIC RESPONSE. THERE WAS NONE. THE VEHICLE HIT THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN; VERY NARROW SHOULDER DIDN'T ALLOW FOR ERROR. THE CAR OVERTURNED. THE 'BLACK BOX' LOCATED IN THE STEERING WHEEL COLLECTS A VOLUME OF DATA EXCEPT ONE IMPORTANT FACT: STEERING WHEEL ANGLE. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS POSITIONED TO MISS THE MOUNTAIN BUT NOT TO ENTER THE ON-COMING LANE. THE STEERING DIDN'T REACT. WHY WAS THIS ESSENTIAL DATA NOT RECORDED WHEN MANY OTHER TRIVIAL COMPUTATIONS ARE PRESENT? I BELIEVE FORD UNDERSTANDS THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM AND OMITS THE STEERING WHEEL ANGLE BECAUSE OF LIABILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS RENTED FROM HERTZ. THEY FAILED TO ADVISE THE CUSTOMER OF THE SLOW RESPONSE OF ELECTRONIC STEERING. SECOND: PASSENGER SEAT BELT IS POSITIONED HIGH AND THE HEADREST PROTRUDES, MAKING AN OCCUPANT OF AVERAGE SIZE 'SLOUCH' TO AVOID THE UNCOMFORTABLE STRAP. REGARDLESS, THE SEAT BELT TRAVELS ALONG THE PASSENGER'S NECK AND TIGHTENS WHEN THE VEHICLE OVERTURNS. THE 'ACCIDENT' CAUSED AN 85% CAROTID ARTERY DISSECTION. MY WIFE SPENT 10 DAYS IN A TRAUMA CENTER BECAUSE OF THIS HORRIBLY POSITIONED SEAT BELT AND UNRESPONSIVE STEERING. A FRIEND WHO HAS A DOCTORATE IN NURSING ADVISED US DURING THE HOSPITALIZATION. SHE RECENTLY RENTED A MUSTANG AND WAS WORRIED WHEN THE STRAP BISECTED HER THROAT. GO SIT IN ONE! IT'S ALL THE EVIDENCE YOU NEED. FORD MOTOR COMPANY WILL DO NOTHING UNTIL THEY ARE PRESENTED WITH LEGAL PAPERS. I HAVE FORMALLY NOTIFIED THEM TO NO AVAIL. THEY DON'T CARE. THEY JUST KEEP BUILDING THEM. *TR

JUST A FEW OF THE ISSUES I HAD WHILE MY CAR . I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AFTER I ALMOST GOT KILLED TWICE BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT DOWN SHIFT INTO LOWER GEARS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TRANS WILL LOOK UP ONCE SHIFTER IS IN BETWEEN GEARS AND WILL NOT GO INTO GEARS STILL SPEED AND RPM SLOW DOWN. MOST EVIDENT WHEN TRYING TO GO FROM 6TH TO 4TH. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT TWICE BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO DOWN SHIFT TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF A ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HAD A CRACKED RIM THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY A CASTING DEFECT. HAD A TICKING IN THE ENGINE AFTER LONG TRIPS. . 5.0 SOUNDED LIKE A DIESEL. *TR

PURCHASED NEW 2011 MUSTANG GT. BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH GEARS BEING VERY NOTCHY AND DIFFICULT TO SHIFT. I HAVE HAD 2 ACCOUNTS WHERE I WAS NEARLY REARENDED WHILE COMING OFF A YIELD DUE TO THE FACT THAT 4TH GEAR WOULD NOT SHIFT IN PLACE. 4TH GEAR CONSISTENTLY LOCKS AT HIGH RPM, 5TH GEAR GRINDS, AND ALL GEARS ARE HARD TO MANAGE IN BELOW 60 DEGREE TEMPERATURES. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A MONTH AND A HALF, GOT IT BACK AND WITHIN 2 WEEKS THE SAME PROBLEMS AROSE. CURRENTLY BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP. FORD HAS DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVE THIS RECURRING ISSUE. *TR

1 complaint
APPROX. 1-2 TIMES A MONTH, AFTER LEAVING MY HOUSE AND DRIVING A SHORT, PAVED STREET GOING TO THE MAIN ROAD, MY ADVANCETRAC LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL START BLINKING, INDICATING THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM HAS BEEN ACTIVATED. ALONG WITH THIS THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE WILL BE ACTIVATED BY THE ABS SYSTEM. TYPICALLY WILL HAPPEN FOR 10-15 SECONDS THEN AS I COME TO A STOP TO TURN ON TO THE MAIN ROAD IT WILL STOP. WHEN I THEN TURN ON TO THE MAIN ROAD, AS I AM ACCELERATING, THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. SOMETIMES THE BRAKE PULSATING THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL IS LIGHT AND NOT TOO INTRUSIVE. SOMETIMES, IF ACCELERATING HARD ENOUGH, THE SYSTEM WILL CUT ENGINE POWER, AND ALTERNATELY PULSATE THE FRONT RIGHT AND REAR LEFT BRAKES, NEARLY PULLING ME OUT OF MY LANE, AS I FIGHT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. AGAIN THIS LASTS FOR ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS. AFTER WHICH CAR BEHAVES PERFECTLY FINE, LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED. IT NEVER LEAVES ANY DIAGNOSTIC CODES IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, OR ANY TRACE THAT IT EVER HAPPENED, THE FORD TECHS HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND I CAN NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN ON COMMAND. IS TOTALLY RANDOM. *TR

FAULTY 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. ANY TIME THE VEHICLE IS ON AN INCLINE 20 DEGREES OR HIGHER AND BEING SHIFTED FROM 2ND GEAR (AROUND 18-20MPH) TO ANY OTHER GEAR THE SHIFTER GETS STUCK IN NEUTRAL WITH INABILITY TO GO TO ANY OTHER GEAR UNTIL THE ENGINE RPM DROPS. THIS SHIFTING DELAY CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FORM 3 TO 7 SECONDS, BEFORE ANOTHER GEAR IS AVAILABLE TO ENGAGE. *TT

WHEN I AM BRAKING AT ABOUT 3-5 MPH THE CAR WILL LUNGE FORWARD (FEELS LIKE I WAS REAR ENDED BUT NO CARS BEHIND ME) OCCASIONALLY I WILL GO TO ACCELERATE AND CAN'T GET ABOVE 15 MPH I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON THEN IT'S FINE. THE AIR BAG LIGHT OFF FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT WILL COME ON EVEN WITH A 250 LB PERSON SITTING THERE, I HAVE HAD PEOPLE TRY TO SHIFT THEIR WEIGHT BUT IT STILL COMES ON AFTER 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING IT GOES AWAY. THE PEDDLE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES FEEL LOW AND I HAVE TAPPED MY BRAKES AND THE ABS ACTIVATED CAUSING THE BRAKES PULSATE AT 25 MPH. THE DRIVER SIDE ENGINE WILL INTERMEDIATELY SEQUEL AND THE CAR WILL IDLE EXTREMELY ROUGH, IT DOES IT MOSTLY AT IDLE BUT I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN AT A STOP LIGHT AFTER 1 HOUR OF DRIVING. ALSO I ALWAYS FEEL A TON OF ENGINE VIBRATION ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

ANYTIME THE ENGINE IS ROTATING OVER 4000 RPM'S THE 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WILL RANDOMLY BE BLOCKED FROM GOING INTO GEAR(ANY GEAR), LEAVING THE VEHICLE IN A NEUTRAL STATE AND UNABLE TO ACCELERATE LIKE IT HAS STALLED. I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING THIS CAR, BUT I DO NOT DRIVE IT LIKE I WOULD LIKE TO, I HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ANYONE. THIS IS EASILY DUPLICATED, AND TO ME IT FEELS LIKE THE EITHER 1, BAD CLUTCH NOT DISENGAGING ALL THE WAY, 2. TRANSMISSION/SHIFTER ARE OUT OF ALIGNMENT, 3. BAD SYNCHRO'S. I HAVE NOT HAD IT IN TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, BECAUSE FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE FORD CONSIDERS THIS NORMAL. IF IT'S NORMAL, THEN I'LL JUST SELL THE CAR THAT I PERSONALLY ORDERED 6 MONTHS EARLY AND THAT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, AND MARK THIS ONE DOWN AS A LESSON LEARNED. *TR
