Was driving my vehicle on the freeway traveling about 70 miles per hour when the vehicle suddenly shifted into first gear. I was able to maintain control and the vehicle shifted back to sixth gear. Issue occurred again within 5 minutes of the first incident and then the vehicle went into "Limp Mode". I was able to drive the vehicle home under this condition. Vehicle check engine light turned on and the code P0720, which is the Output Speed Sensor Circuit. This is the same issue that occurred on 2011-2013 F-150 and Mustang vehicles that currently have a recall for this (Safety Recall 19S07). The same transmissions (6R80) are used in both vehicles, as well as the Powertrain Control Modules, but my vehicle's VIN did not fall under this recall. This is a very dangerous issue that could lead to a deadly accident.

On 5-26-22 i took my mustang to Roush Ford in Hillard Oh. They tested and found out that I needed a lead frame connector. Part # Al327627V $ 226.10. I paid in advance for this part as Roush said they would not order unless I paid in advance. Roush stated they would call when part comes in. I made several attempts to get status of part and all they would say is they were still awaiting. On or about 6-20-23 I called again, At this time they stated the dealership had been sold to Valley ford and still no word on part arrival. I have owned several Fords in my life but after awaiting over 1 yr on a part and car I could not safely have my wife drive I decided to trade it in for another vehicle. I then called Valley to ask for them to credit my card in the amount of the part. They told me that the money went with Roush and they could not return my money?? They suggested I call Roush auto group( Honda ). I made the call to service manager and he said that Roush Ford was no longer in business and they could not refund my monies. In my mind Ford was paid the $226.10 and someone should be able to pay me back. I am asking that The Ford Motor co honor the deal by paying me back. Thanks

Door latch failure caused by high heat environment, vehicle initially purchased in the state of Arizona. When the door is attempted to be closed it will either bounce open catching on a latch jammed in the closed position, or when closed it will effortlessly push open without the need to engage the door handle. Ford Corporate told me this would be a free recall service, but when I showed up for my appointment the DGDG dealer attempted to charge me $200 for a diagnostic. I don't need a diagnostic I know what's wrong, I don't appreciate being lied to or taken for a fool.

THE RADIO MADE A LOUD BOOM. SPOOKED ME OUT AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WREAK. THE RADIO CONTINUES TO DO LOUD BOOMS AND DOES NOT MAKE ANY NOISE. I HAVE RESEARCHED IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND YES THERE ARE MANY WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE RADIO WILL ONLY FLASH TIME AND WILL NOT PLAY SOUND. I USE THE RADIO FOR THE HANDLESS LAW PASSED LAST YEAR. I ALSO USE IT TO TELL ME WHERE TO GO. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

AIR CONDITIONING / VENT SYSTEMS. AC STOPPED WORKING, JUST PRIOR WHEN I USED MY DEFOGGER I NOTICED A FILM ON MY WINDSHIELD. AFTER IT STOPPED THIS FILM WAS SO MASSIVE, I WAS IN SERIOUS RAIN STORM AND I COULD NOT SEE OUT, I HAD TO REALLY OPEN WINDOWS WITH RAIN POURING IN TO GET FILM OFF, I HAD PROB DRIVING WITH WINDOW OPENED SO MUCH I CLOSED TO A QUARTER, AND AGAIN THE FILM CAME BACK ONLY THIS TIME I HIT FLOODING ON I-75 SHORTLY BEFORE MY EXIT, CAUSING ME TO SWERVE INTO THE PATH OF A TRACTOR TRAILER, THANK GOD FOR MANUAL I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT AND ESCAPE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED FORD AND I ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT, THERE WAS A FEE OF WHICH I JUST DIDN'T HAVE AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COME OFF REPAIR BILL WHICH WOULD BE $2000.00 MY WARRANTY ONLY EXPIRED THE MONTH PRIOR. UNBELIEVABLE! I HAVE DONE LOADS OF RESEARCH, AND HAVE SEEN WAY TOO MANY MUSTANGS OF VARIOUS YEARS AND SPOKE WITH OWNERS AND ALL OF US HAVE SAME EXACT ISSUE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS AND ALL FORD SAYS IS "IT HAPPENS". THIS IS NOT A COMFORT ISSUE BUT A SERIOUS CONDITION THAT CAN GET SOMEONE KILLED IF THEY NEED THEIR FOGGER. CAN YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS I HAVE PUT UP A WEBSITE AND AM BEGINNING TO COLLECT SIGNATURES FOR PROOF. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING MINOR WITH SO MANY VEHICLES WITH EXACT SAME ISSUES. ALL WE ASK IS THAT YOU CONTACT MUSTANG OWNERS AND INVESTIGATE. ALL COMPLAINTS INVOLVE FOLLOWING REPAIRS, LEAKING ANTIFREEZE AND FOGGING ON WINDSHIELD, REPAIRING COMPRESSORS, EVAPORATORS, SEALS, ETC.

MY 2014 MUSTANG BEGAN STALLING OUT FROM A STOPPED POSITION IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN 2 DAYS ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS. 6/13/2019. IT WAS DRIVEN TO KINDLE FORD IN CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE, NJ. THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT FIND A "CODE" TO FIX ANYTHING. CHARGED $136.00 FOR NOTHING. I PICKED MY VEHICLE UP ON 6/14. STILL STALLED FROM A STOPPED POSITION. ON 6/18 THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF 7 TIMES WITHIN A 4 BLOCK RADIUS. I WAS STUCK ON HIGHWAY AND WAS HELPED TO PUSH INTO AN EMPTY LOT. TOWED BACK TO KINDLE FOR NOW THE ENGINE WAS ON AND THEY SAY IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. ANOTHER $387.00 COST.

WATER CLOGGED UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT OF FORD MUSTANG 2014 CONVERTIBLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY PARKED IN FRONT OF HOME ALONG THE CURB FOR 15-20 DAYS AND ITS RAINY SEASON IN CALIFORNIA. A PUDDLE IS FORMED ON THE LEFT SIDE UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. CAR WAS PARKED DOWNHILL SO WATER ACCUMULATED IN THE FRONT. IT'S BECAUSE OF THE WATER WHICH GETS ACCUMULATED OVERTIME IN THE LEFT/DRIVER DOOR IN SOME MODELS OF MUSTANG. OVERTIME, IT CROSSES THRESHOLD AND STARTS LEAKING INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IDEALLY, WATER SHOULD BE DRAINED AUTOMATICALLY. BUT TO REMOVE WATER FROM DOOR YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE BLACK PLUG AT BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. AND NO WAY TO REMOVE WATER FROM INSIDE OF THE CAR. IT POTENTIALLY CAUSES SERIOUS DAMAGE TO INTERNALS OF CAR AND MOLDS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS PEOPLE FACING THIS ISSUE AND ITS COMMON IN SOME MUSTANGS. IT'S CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED. HTTPS://MUSTANGFORUMS.COM/FORUM/3-7L-V6-TECHNICAL-DISCUSSIONS/696287-WATER-SLOSHING-AROUND-INSIDE-DRIVER-S-DOOR.HTML

SERVICE BRAKES

4 complaints

I currently own a 2014 Mustang GT with a manual transmission and notice my emergency brake release button was cracking. The button is made of cheap plastic and the dealer does not have a replacement release button. They only sell the whole emergency brake, which I feel that Ford should she be responsible of replacing the emergency brake button, since this is a safety issue that you cannot engage the emergency brake or disengage the emergency brake button when parking your vehicle on a hilly driveway or any hill at all. Which I leave in Northern California that is very hill and feel that if my car ever comes disengaged out of 1st gear it would cause serious damages to others, such as crashing into a building or other cars or even a fatality.

HE HAS NOT CONTACTED ME. I PLACED A PHONE CALL TO HIM TODAY 5/15/15 AND WAS TOLD HE HAD A GUEST IN HIS OFFICE AND WOULD RETURN MY CALL. HE HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALL THIS IS THE FIRST TIME AN INCIDENT LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED. *TR

Nov 01, 2016

AS I DRIVE MY CAR OVER BUMPS (SPEED BUMPS, GOING UP OR DOWN IN PARKING GARAGE) THE CAR GRUNTS OR SQUEAKS. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW ON MARCH FIRST OF 2014, AND I NOTICED THE PROBLEM NOT TOO LONG AFTER BUYING IT; I ASSUMED IT WAS NORMAL BECAUSE MY PREVIOUS 2007 MUSTANG HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I TOLD SOME FRIENDS WHO SUGGEST I TAKE IT TO FORD. WHEN I WAS DESCRIBING WHAT THE PROBLEM THE SERVICE TECH NEW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS. THEY HAD A RECALL FOR 2011 TO 2013 MUSTANGS FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE. THEY REPAIRED THE LOWER ARM CONTROLS IN THE FRONT. THE ISSUE IS NOW GONE. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO 2014 MODELS. I HAVE A 2014 FORD MUSTANG 3.7L V6 WITH THE PERFORMANCE PACKAGE. THE FOLLOWING EXCERPT IS WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE IS THE SAME PROBLEM ADDRESSED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL. FORD TSB ARTICLE # 12-8-24 ISSUE SOME 2011-2013 MUSTANGS MAY EXHIBIT A GRUNT/CREAK/CHIRP/SQUEAK NOISE FROM THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM HYDRO BUSHING.

I WAS SHIFTING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. THE WRENCH ICON CAME ON ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR SHUTTERED. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT OFF, LEFT IT OFF FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND STARTING IT AGAIN. I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE, CALLED MY HUSBAND AND HE CAME TO FOLLOW ME HOME IN CASE IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET. IT DID NOT. ABOUT 4 DAYS LATER I PULLED OUT OF MY GARAGE AND THE WRENCH ICON CAME ON AGAIN AND THE CAR SHUTTERED. I TURNED IT OFF AND PULLED THE CAR INTO THE GARAGE AGAIN. A FEW DAYS LATER I WAS ABLE TO GET IT IN WITH MY MECHANIC. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT ON THE DIAGNOSTICS AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAULT. I FOUND A LOT ON LINE ABOUT THE THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS WITH FORD VEHICLES. MY BROTHER HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN TO HIS CAR (SAME PROBLEM) AND HE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. THEY TOLD HIM THIS HAPPENS A LOT. SO, I WILL BRING MY CAR HOME TODAY WITH NOTHING FOUND. HOW DO I TRUST IT TO DRIVE IT? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

WHILE DRIVING THE MUSTANG (WHICH IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION) I NOTICED THAT THE SPEED OF THE CAR DOESN'T DECELERATE WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR IS GIVEN GAS (MORE THAN AN IDLE AMOUNT) WHEN I DO NOT DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL. IT HAPPENS IN ALL 6 GEARS BUT IT'S MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN IN FIRST OR SECOND. ALSO, WHILE THE CAR IS IN GEAR, THE ENGINE FIGHTS TO SLOW DOWN WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT WHEN IT OCCURS WHILE IN A PARKING LOT WITH PEOPLE AROUND IT BECOMES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON DRY PAVEMENT AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES PER HOUR (THE SPEED LIMIT) WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. IMAGINE AN EXCITED DOG WAGGING ITS TAIL AND BODY. THAT WAS MY CAR. A YELLOW LIGHT WAS FLASHING ON AND OFF, BUT I COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT IT WAS UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. THE CAR WAS MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. I IMMEDIATELY STARTED SLOWING THE CAR DOWN. THE BRAKES WERE GRINDING WHEN I DEPRESSED THEM. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO SEE IF I COULD SEE SOMETHING WRONG. I LEFT THE CAR RUNNING. THERE WAS NOTHING VISIBLE. I GOT BACK INTO THE CAR AND DROVE ABOUT A BLOCK AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN SO I PULLED OFF AGAIN, GOT OUT AND LOOKED AGAIN AND SAW NOTHING. I CANNOT REMEMBER IF I SHUT THE CAR OFF OR NOT. I WAS ONLY ABOUT 4 MILES FROM HOME, SO I DECIDED TO AT LEAST TRY TO GET CLOSER TO HOME BEFORE I CALLED SOMEONE FOR HELP. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. I LOOKED IN THE MANUAL TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE LIGHT WAS AND IT WAS THE TRACTION CONTROL. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, IT WAS ACTING NORMAL. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL, IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG, THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON. I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR ABOUT 20-25 MORE MILES SINCE AND IT HAS NOT REOCCURRED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MANY YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR ACT LIKE THIS. I DID SOME SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE MUSTANG DRIVERS THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES WITH YEARS 2011 AND NEWER. I ALSO READ THAT FORD HAS HAD OTHER MODELS RECALLED FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS, BUT NOT MUSTANG. I AM TAKING IT IN TOMORROW TO GET THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL SERVICED. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY ARE GOING TO LOOK AT IT (FOR $112) AND TELL ME WHAT THEY FIND.

Dec 04, 2019

AFTER MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC, THE CAR'S ADVANCETRAC LIGHT FLASHED AT ABOUT 40MPH AND THE CAR BEGAN LOSING POWER AND APPLYING THE BRAKES WITHOUT REASON. THE ADVANCETRAC LIGHT CONTINUED TO FLASH AND THE BRAKES AND THROTTLE CONTINUED TO MODULATE AS IF THE CAR WERE SLIDING ON ICE. THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE AND ONCE IT HAS STARTED WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THE CAR IS STOPPED AND PLACED INTO PARK. I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE WITH THIS ISSUE OCCURRING UNTIL I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER. THIS HAS NOW OCCURRED 4 TIMES IN 23000 MILES. EACH TIME THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. A TURN FROM A START AND MODERATE ACCELERATION AND THE ISSUE BEGINS BETWEEN 30-40MPH AND LASTS UNTIL THE CAR IS STOPPED AND SHIFTED TO PARK.

THE WHEELS ARE MACHINED IN A NON-STANDARD WAY ON THE BEAD SURFACE AND MOST REPLACEMENT TIRES CANNOT BE SEATED ON THE BEAD OF THE WHEELS.

THESE WHEELS ARE 18" X 8" SIZE AND CAME ON THE FP6 APPEARANCE PACKAGE WITH MY VEHICLE FROM FORD. I SPENT 2 DAYS AT TIRE STORES WAITING FOR INSTALLATION OF NEW TIRES ON MY CAR. SEVERAL BRANDS OF TIRES WERE TRIED AND MOST WON'T SEAT ON THE BEAD OF THESE WHEELS. ALL OF THE TIRES TRIED ARE THE STOCK OEM SIZE OF 235/50R18. IT APPEARS THAT FORD CHOOSE TO LIGHTEN THE WHEELS BY MACHINING THESE SLOTS IN THEM, BUT THE DOWNSIDE IS THAT YOU CANNOT REPLACE THE TIRES SINCE MOST BRANDS WON'T SEAT ON THE BEAD WHEN BEING INSTALLED. AFTER TRYING SEVERAL SETS OF TIRES, THE TIRE STORE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET ONE INSTALLED, BUT IT COST ABOUT TWICE WHAT I PLANNED TO SPEND ON THE NEW TIRES.

THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IN MY MUSTANG VIBRATES ON ANY ROAD WITH IMPERFECTIONS SO THAT YOU CANNOT DISTINGUISH WHAT TYPE A VEHICLE IS BEHIND YOU. I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE NEW ONE DOES THE SAME. THIS ISSUE IS ON A MAJORITY OF MUSTANGS, ACCORDING TO FORUMS, AND I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU CANNOT DISTINGUISH IF THERE IS A SAFETY VEHICLE BEHIND YOU.

2 complaints

MY 11 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS WAITING IN MY PARKED CAR IN A PARKING LOT FOR ME AND ABSENTMINDEDLY TWISTING ONE OF THE SEAT BELTS AROUND HER WRISTS. THE SEATBELT LOCKED AND AS SHE TRIED TO GET IT TO RELEASE, THE BELT WENT IN FURTHER AND HER HANDS WERE TIGHTLY BOUND TO THE SEAT WHERE THE SHOULDER BELT RETRACTS. SHE WAS UNABLE TO FREE HERSELF AND WAS SCREAMING FOR HELP. SHE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO REACH HER PHONE ON THE FLOOR BY KICKING OFF HER SHOES & THEN USING HER TOE TO TELL "SIRI" TO CALL MOM. WHEN I GOT OUTSIDE, I COULD NOT FREE HER AND HER HANDS WERE TURNING PURPLE. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CUT THE SEATBELT OFF. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I WOULD EVER HAVE ANTICIPATED. IT WORRIES ME THAT A YOUNGER CHILD COULD PLAY WITH IT AND FALL ASLEEP FOR EXAMPLE, AND THE PARENTS MAY NOT REALIZE UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE.

the following problem happened to me a few years ago (twice within a couple of months) and again, 2 days ago. Each time I was standing at a traffic light when all of a sudden it accelerated at full throttle. I practically stood on the brake pedal, but the car was inching forward, as I put the transmission into park. This was not a subtle situation, it was dangerous. The engine went from idle to screaming within 2 seconds. I ruled out the floor mat as it was in the proper position and snapped into the floor. It did not cause any warning lights to come on. in May, I had the oil changed, at which time they suggested that they clean the throttle body, which they did.They never heard of the above problem.

2014 FORD MUSTANG Experiencing exact same issues as when car is parked and shifting into the gear intended by the driver. That could cause the vehicle to roll away or move in an "unexpected direction". This is the same issue as the recall issued for other Ford vehicles: (but 2014 Ford Mustang is not listed) 2013-2019 Escape 2013-2018 C-Max 2013-2016 Fusion 2013-2021 Transit Connect 2015-2018 Edge "A damaged or missing bushing may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear, and cause the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction," the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in a statement. "Additionally, the vehicle may roll after the driver selects the 'Park' position. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash or injury." My daughter had several near missed with this safety issue - and when I asked for diagnostics the dealer wanted to charge $ 139.99 plus taxes.

I was going up a steep driveway. I made it to the top, then needed to get back down. I put my car in reverse and proceeded to back down the driveway. Suddenly and without warning, my brakes and steering went out. The whole car shut off and the battery light turned on. Not being able to brake or steer, my car rolled down the driveway into a fence before coming to a stop. This caused extensive damage to my vehicle.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY (I-4) ON MY WAY TO WORK ON 10/24/2019, I WAS GOING ABOUT 65 MPH AND SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE DECREASED SPEED TO ABOUT 35 -40 MPH, ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THE WRENCH LIGHT OR SYMBOL CAME ON, I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AND HIT BY 2 VEHICLES TRAVELING AT NORMAL SPEED. AS I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED, I BELIEVE THIS IS CALLED "LIMP MODE'. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT BY PULLING OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, SINCE I WAS NOT SURE IF IT COULD ALSO BE A FIRE HAZARD. WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND LOOKED UP THE ISSUE ON THE INTERNET. I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON AND IT WAS AS IF NOTHING HAD EVER HAPPENED. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD AND I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS JUST A MALFUNCTION. I WAS VERY SCARED BUT DROVE INTO WORK WITH NO IDLING ISSUES. SATURDAY 10/26/2019 I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE GROCERY STORE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN, NEAR MY HOUSE ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD. I WAS GOING ABOUT 35-40 AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN SLOWED DOWN, THIS TIME TO ABOUT 10-15 MPH. ONCE AGAIN, I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED, I WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THIS TIME I CALLED A TOW TRUCK. I WAITED A FEW HOURS AND NOTHING. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND DROVE HOME, ABOUT HALF A MILE. ONCE AGAIN THE DASHBOARD CLEAR AND CAR DROVE OFF WITH NO ISSUE. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP ON 10/26/2019. IT IS CURRENTLY BEING LOOKED AT BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

I HAVE HAD TO CALL SEVERAL MORE TIMES DIE TO NOT RECEIVING ANY RETURN CALL FROM ANYONE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A MONTH. I HAVE LOOKED TO SEE IF I COULD SCHEDULE AND APPOINTMENT ONLINE AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THAT OPTION AVAILABLE. THEREFORE I HAVE HAD TO TAKE TIME AWAY FROM OTHER OBLIGATIONS TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP TO COMPLAIN TO ATTEMPT TO HAVE THIS REMEDIED. INITIALLY THEY WERE RECEPTIVE AND NOW FOUR DAYS LATER THEY HAVE REVERTED BACK TO FAILING TO RETURN MY PHONE CALLS. I HAVE ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH CORROSION ON THE BATTERY AND THE BATTERY WIRE CABLES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. DESPITE MAKING THE DEALERSHIP AWARE OF THIS THEY HAVE FAILED TO TAKE ANY STEPS TO EVEN DETERMINE THE ISSUE. ADDITIONALLY, MY SECURITY SYSTEM ON MY CAR WAS APPARENTLY BYPASSED BY THIEVES AND I HAVE TALKED TO THE TOP BOSS OF THIS DEALERSHIP AND HE HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE SECURITY SYSTEM IS IN FACT DISABLED AND THAT WITHOUT THEM RUNNING A DIAGNOSTICS TEST ON THE CAR THEY CANNOT DETERMINE TO WHAT EXTENT THE SECURITY SYSTEM IS DAMAGED, IF IT IS REPARABLE, OR IF THERE MAY BE MORE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE COMPUTER / ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

THOUGH FORD HAS NOTIFIED ME THAT AIRBAGS ARE AVAILABLE, I CANNOT GET A DEALER (I'VE BEEN TO TWO) TO INSTALL THE AIRBAG. ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR HAS AN ELECTRICAL FAULT IN THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN NOTED SINCE THE CAR HAD 5000 MILES ON IT. DESPITE MORE THAN FIVE TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND MORE THAN 28 DAYS IN THE SHOP, THE CAR IS STILL UNREPAIRED. THE FORD ENGINEER'S LATEST SPECULATION AS TO THE CAUSE IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM, WHICH HE ACKNOWLEDGED COULD AFFECT ALL SYSTEMS, INCLUDING BRAKES, THROTTLE CONTROL, LIGHTING, AND THE AIRBAGS TO NAME A FEW. BBB'S AUTOLINE ARBITRATOR AGREED THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND ORDERED FORD TO REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, FORD DID NOT DO SO WITHIN THE ALLOTTED TIME DUE TO FRIVOLOUS DOCUMENT REQUESTS THAT DELAYED THE PROCESS, AND THEIR REFUSAL TO INSPECT THE CAR ON SITE OR PICK THE CAR UP WITH A WRECKER AT A REASONABLE TIME. THEY INSISTED THAT I DRIVE THE CAR, WHICH I NOW REFUSE TO DO SO. THERE ARE OTHER DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE, THESE ARE THE PRIMARY DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE CLAIM.

I WAS GOING TO WORK AROUND 15:45 WHEN I HAD TO ACCELARATE ON A MOUNTAIN WHILE I WAS ON THE FIFTH GEAR. I GAVE ENOUGH GAZ BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT WANT TO RESPOND. AFTER ARRIVING AT THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN, NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE ON THE 5TH GEAR, I DOWNSHIFTED TO THE 4TH GEAR. SAME RESULT THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND. THE ENGINE THEN STALLED, BATTERY LIGHT CAME UP, OIL AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP AFTER. THE ROAD WAS TURNING RADICALLY SO I TOLD MYSELF I WILL TRY TO STOP AFTER THE CURVE SO I WONT BE DANGEROUS TO OTHER CARS IN THE CURVE. PROBLEM IS, STEERING BOX FAILED TO FONCTION AND I ALMOST CRASHED IN A LIGHT POST. EVEN WITH MY TWO HANDS FORCING ON THE STEERING WHEEL IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I CALLED FORD ROAD ASSISTANCE FOR A TOWING. IT TOOK AROUND 40 MINUTES FOR IT TO ARRIVE. FOR A 12TH FEBRUARY IN QUBEC, IT IS LONG AND COLD TO WAIT IN A CAR 40 MINUTES WITH NO HEATING. TWO DAYS LATER FORD CALLED ME TO TELL ME OIL SMELLED GAZ AND SPARKED PLUGS WERE FINISHED, FOR THEN TELLING ME THE ENGINE IS DONE DUE TO A PISTON. BECAUSE OF A MODIFICATION ON THE ENGINE (A SUPERCHARGE) I AM AWARE THE WARRANTY WILL PROBABLY NOT COVER THE ENGINE, BUT THIS SEEMS TO NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE STEERING BOX FAILED IN WHICH I ALMOST DID AN ACCIDENT.

ON 8/18/16, I WAS DRIVING ON MARYLAND STATE ROUTE 198, AT ABOUT 40 MPH, WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO LURCH FORWARD, STOP, LURCH FORWARD AS I CAME THROUGH A ROUNDABOUT. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, RESTARTED THE CAR, AND WHILE ON THE SHOULDER, I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, AND AGAIN THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD TWICE AND THEN STOPPED. WRENCH LIGHT WAS LIT UP ON DASHBOARD (IT WASN'T LIT MOMENTS BEFORE) AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE MANUAL IT SAID THE CAR HAD DEFAULTED TO "LIMP TO HOME" AND I SHOULD SEE THE DEALER. I WAS MORE THAN 40 MILES FROM HOME AND CALLED AAA. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED 10 MINUTES LATER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING 55 MPH ON INTERSTATE 295 S AND WOULD HAVE BEEN IN DANGER BECAUSE THAT ROAD HAS NO SHOULDER. THIS CAR BEHAVIOR MIMICKED WHAT I EXPERIENCED OCT. 6, 2015 (LURCHING, DASHBOARD LIGHTS LOOKING LIKE A DISCO BALL), WHEN THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY (SERVICE DATE OCT. 7, 2015). HOWEVER, THE DEALER IS NOW TELLING ME IT IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH THE CAR SHOWING TFT SENSOR, P0710, P0713 CODE READINGS. THIS IS THE THIRD MAJOR REPAIR. ON 11/23/12, THE DEALER REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AFTER I EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE THANKSGIVING DAY WITH ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS LOOKING LIKE A DISCO BALL AND COULD NOT READ THE SPEEDOMETER TO KNOW HOW FAST I WAS DRIVING WHILE IN BALTIMORE ON INTERSTATE 695. THE CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS ABOUT 61,000 MILES ON IT. I BELIEVE ALL THREE INCIDENTS REPRESENT SAFETY ISSUES.

I WAS TOLD THAT THE DAMAGE TO THIS VEHICLE HAPPENED AT THE TIME OF THIS SO CALLED BLOW OUT AND THAT IS WHY I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE SO I TRULY BELIEVE THAT WHEN THE DAMAGE OCCURRED TO THE DRIVER SIDE BACK TIRE WAS THE RESULT OF MAYBE A ROD HITTING THE BACK TIRE CAUSING THE BLOW OUT BECAUSE I HAVE DRIVEN A VEHICLE FOR OVER 35 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS MUCH DAMAGE NOR THIS MUCH PROBLEM DUE TO A BLOW OUT. NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON MY VEHICLE UNTIL I GOT STOPPED NOT EVEN LOW PRESSURE TIRE ...WHEN THE STEERING WENT OUT IT FELT LIKE I WAS TRYING TO DRIVE A CAR WITH THE KEYS OFF , THE STEERING WHEEL FROZE.... AT THIS TIME I STILL DO NOT KNOW ALL THE DAMAGE AS THIS WAS JUST VISUAL INSPECTION FROM THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ATTEMPTING TO FIX MY NEW CAR ...I DO BLAME FORD FOR THIS AS THIS WAS UNUSUAL AS I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT YET THE CAR LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN IN A HEAD IN COLLISION. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

1 complaint

FROM DAY 1 UNTIL PRESENT WITH 6400 MILES, THIS CAR ON HARD ACCELERATION, BRINGS IN EXHAUST FUMES SO SEVERE THAT THE FUMES WILL MAKE YOU PHYSICALLY SICK AND WILL EVEN SET OFF A CARBON DIOXIDE DETECTOR ( THIS HAPPENS WITH ALL WINDOWS SHUT AND THE AIR ON RECIRCULATE). NORMAL DRIVING, NO PROBLEM IF ENGINE RPMS ARE KEPT BELOW 1500 RPM --- BUT---- DON`T TRY TO GET UP TO SPEED MERGING ON A FREEWAY OR ANY HIGH REVVING SITUATION. FORD DEALER WON`T DO ANYTHING UNTIL IT THROWS A COMPUTER CODE, WHICH IT HAS NOT. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A JOKE AFTER SPENDING HOURS ON THE PHONE. I THINK I BOUGHT A MODERN YUGO. *TR
