2013 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

RECALL ISSUED MAY 2015. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FEB 2016 AND DEALERSHIP DID NOT DISCLOSE RECALL NOTICE. AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES TO GET CAR FIXED, FORD KEEPS PUCHING BACK THE DATE TO GET PARTS FOR RECALL. CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

TAKATA RECALL - NOTIFIED IN SPRING OF 2015, NOTIFIED AGAIN IN SPRING OF 2016. STILL NO RESOLUTION! CAR OWNERS EFFECTED BY THIS RECALL ARE ADVISED TO NOT DRIVE UNTIL THE ISSUE IS FIXED AS DRIVERS/PASSENGERS MAY SUFFER CRITICAL INJURIES OR LOSS OF LIFE DUE TO THE SHRAPNEL FROM AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WE'RE COMING UPON TWO YEARS SINCE INITIAL OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION AND THE PROBLEM WAS KNOWN BEFORE THAT. FORD HAS ONLY COMPLETED 16% OF THE REPAIRS/REPLACEMENTS. I CONTACT MY DEALERSHIP EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS AND STILL NOTHING. SUPPOSEDLY THE LAST QUARTER OF THIS YEAR. WELL THAT'S HERE AND STILL NOTHING. IF IT EVEN HAPPENS BEFORE YEAR'S END, THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. MY LIFE AND MY LOVED ONE'S ARE ENDANGERED ON A DAILY BASIS DUE TO A FAULTY COMPONENT IN A SYSTEM THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT AND SAVE LIVES. GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO STEP IN AND SPEED THIS UP.

LAST SEPTEMBER 15TH 2016THURSDAY NIGHT I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON ROAD PR2 IN QUEBRADILLAS PUERTO RICO. AROUND 50MPH. SUDDENLY THE CAR COLLAPSE IN THE LEFT FRONT END. I TRY TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE, I TRY TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND NO BRAKE RESPONSE. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, FINALLY THE VEHICLE STOP WHEN TOUCH THE CENTER CONCRETE WALL IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE HAS SERIOUS DAMAGE ON THE LEFT FRONT CORNER. AT LEAST I WALKED OUT WITH NO INJURIES. THE NEXT MORNING I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER AND I WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER. THE CAR IS IN CABRERA HNOS IN ARECIBO, PR. THE CAR ONLY HAS 13008 MILES BUT THE 3/36 EXPIRED IN MAY 2016. THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND CONFIRM THE LEFT BALL-JOINT IS BROKEN AND CAUSE ALL THE DAMAGE. THE MANAGER ALSO SAY AN FORD SPECIALIST SHOULD EVALUATE THE VEHICLE BEFORE DO ANY REPAIRS. I WANT TO REPORT THIS DUE IS NOT NORMAL A PART LIKE THIS BREAKS IN ANY VEHICLE. THE MANAGER IN THE DEALER [XXX] KNOWS ABOUT THE CAR AND TOLD ME TO CALL FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TO REPORT THIS EVENT. I WAS TOLD THE PART IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND ALSO TO REPORT THE INCIDENT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I HOPE HEAR FROM FORD. I ALSO OWNER OF OTHER 2 FORD VEHICLES OLDER THAN THIS ONE AND I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THEM. I PURCHASED A TOTAL OF 6 FORD VEHICLES IN THE LAST 25 YEARS.

RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN MAY OF 2016. DEALER SAYS THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAG.

NO ACCELERATION POSSIBLE. FUEL CUT OUT. PULLED OVER CAR SHOOK. TURNED OFF. BACK ON 15 MINUTES LATER. HAPPENED 5 MORE TIMES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. DEALERSHIP SAID TGEY FIXED IT, BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS. SAME CODE: CHECK FUEL FILL INLET. CAR ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. WHAT A JOKE. NO MORE FORDS FOR ME AND THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS BEEN TERRIBLE!
