2019 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

Electronic power steering makes a grinding noise at low speed when turning steering wheel. The noise is getting progressively louder.

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.

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.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that the front passenger door failed. The contact stated while driving at various speeds the front passenger’s door was unlatched independently. The contact received a warning on the instrument panel that the passenger’s door was unlatched. The contact was able to move onto the road shoulder and secured the front passenger door latch. The contact stated that the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to have a diagnostic test performed. The manufacturer advised that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign 17V652000 (Latches/Locks/Linkage). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.

Car was taken to FORD for diagnosis because it was running oddly and the service light kept coming on. After taking it in Ford said there was nothing wrong with it and 2 days later it blows a head gasket and comes to a screeching halrt and the motor seizes.

when i start my car the digital dash would just be black so i cant see how fast im going at all

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
