2014 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

HAVING REAR END WHINNING NOISE, FORD WORKED ON REAR END COMPONENTS 6 TIMES NOW. THE LAST REPAIR THEY DID THE REPLACED HOUSING AND CARRIER- PRETTY MUCH BRAND NEW REAR END. I'M STILL HAVING REAR END NOISE AND THEY REFUSE ME OF ANY FURTHER REPAIRS. VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN I HEAR THIS NOISE ONLY WHEN ACCELERATING, AS SOON AS I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS IT STOPS. I HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THEM IN FORDS RECORDS.

I WAS DRIVING USING THE TECTONIC SHIFTING ON MY AUTOMATIC V8 MUSTANG AND I WAS COMING TO A STOP AND LOWERING THE GEARS MY CAR STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS AND IT WAS GOING, INCREASED SPEED UNEXPECTEDLY.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V319000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (JOE COOPER FORD 3400 S SHERIDAN RD, TULSA OK) WHO STATED THAT THE RECALL REMEDY PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE LOOSING POWER STEERING IN MY MUSTANG WHILE DRIVING. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM FORD DOES HAVE LOTS OF RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM. BUT DIDN'T FIND MY YEAR 2014 FOR A RECALL. THE PROBLEM IS I DID LOOSE MY POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING AND THIS IS UNSAFE SINCE I DO DRIVE MY CAR FAST. MY DEFAULT LIGHT OR WARNING LIGHT DID COME ON AS I PULLED OVER AND FOUND IT HARD TO STEER MY VEHICLE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME MY CAR HAS DONE THIS AND WILL MONITOR THE PROBLEM. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR MY TURNING THE KEY OFF AND ON A FEW TIMES BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. SO I RESET THE SYSTEM BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY CABLES AND THAT DID FIX THE PROBLEM AND GOT BACK MY POWER STEERING ON MY MUSTANG. THERE IS NO POWER STEERING PUMP ON THIS CAR AS THE RACK PINION IS CONTROLLING THE POWER STEERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT, THE VEHICLE'S STEERING ABILITY SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE DROVE STRAIGHT FORWARD INTO AN EMBANKMENT. THE CONTACT IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT MESSAGE APPEARED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

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.

TAKATA RECALL - WHEN I LOOKED UP THE RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE I READ THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT -"IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER, PLEASE CONTACT THE NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT: 1-888-327-4236 OR TTY: 1-800-424-9153 OR FILE AN ONLINE COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA." I AM NOTIFYING YOU NOW TO COMPLAIN THAT THE REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER, NOW 2 YEARS INTO THE RECALL. WHEN WILL IT BE RESOLVED AND WHAT IS THE NHTSA DOING ABOUT IT?
