2018 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

AT ACCELERATION THE CAR WON'T SHIFT WHEN NEEDED THEN IT'LL AUTOMATICALLY DOWN SHIFT AND STOP ACCELERATING. THE RPM GAGE NEEDLE BOUNCES UP & DOWN WITH & WITH ACCELERATION IMAGED SPEED STILL DECREASES THEN SOMETHING CATCHES AND IT'LL START ACCELERATING & RPM GOING TO HIGH THEN STARTS ALL OVER BEFORE FINALLY WORKING RIGHT.

THE TRUNK WILL OPEN WHILE DRIVING WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE, GOING OVER ANY BUMP, OR EVEN WHEN I BRAKE. TOOK IT IN TO GET IT FIXED 3 TIMES WITH NO RESULTS. ALSO, THE REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS KEEP FAILING; RESULTING IN AN UNCOMFORTABLE RIDE.

THE TRANSMISSION GETS STUCK IN GEAR WHEN YOU ACCELERATE HARD, YOU CAN'T TAKE THE CAR OUT OF GEAR AND THE CLUTCH DOES NOT WORK. THE ENGINE CONTINUALLY REVS/SPEEDS UP WHEN NO ONE IS TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED RIGHT AWAY. THIS WAS DRIVING IN SPORT MODE, THIS HAS NO HAPPENED IN NORMAL MODE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS SEIZED FOR APPROXIMATELY THIRTY SECONDS WITHOUT WARNING. PHIL LONG FORD AT CHAPEL HILLS (1565 AUTO MALL LOOP, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80920, (844) 234-1769) WAS CONTACTED AND SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,200.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS COMING TO A STOP WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT CALLED THREE DEALERS: LANDMARK FORD (LOCATED AT 12000 SW 66TH AVENUE, TIGARD, OR 97223, 503-639-1131), DICK'S MACKENZIE FORD (LOCATED AT 4151 SE TUALATIN VALLEY HWY, HILLSBORO, OR 97123, 844-424-8102), AND SKYLINE FORD (LOCATED AT 2510 COMMERCIAL ST SE, SALEM, OR 97302, 503-581-2411). NONE OF THE DEALERS COULD DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: CAS24128956. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

I HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM AS NHTSA CASE NUMBER 11187080. I BOUGHT IT NEW. NOW HAS ABOUT 11000. HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS AND BOTH HAVE SAID THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND IT OPERATES AS IT SHOULD. I PLAN TO TAKEN IT BACK IN AGAIN AND SHOW THEM THE OTHER NHTSA COMPLAINTS.

TRANSMITION SLIPS OUT OR GEAR OR WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN SHIFTING FROM A PARKED LOCATION FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE . A LOUD CLUNCK OR GRIND OF GESRS IS HEARD . THE CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW. ISSUES APPEARED FROM DAY ONE. THE SHIFTING PROBLEMM BECAME MORE FREQUENT. AT 2700 MILES TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND NO ISSUES FOUND. NOW AT 3000 MILES AND RETURNED TO DEALSHIP, WAITING FOR RESULTS.

AT 60MPH ON THE FREEWAY, MY 2018 MUSTANG GT WITH 2,000 MILES ON IT BLEW THE ENGINE. MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF SMOKE WERE POURING OUT THE EXHAUST PIPES AND FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE VEHICLE WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND SOUNDER LIKE A TIN CAN FULL OF NUTS AND BOLTS. GOT THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER BUT MY WIFE AND I WERE SCARED TO DEATH AS CARS WERE WHIZZING BY JUST INCHES AWAY. ACCORDING TO ONLINE CHAT ROOMS A NUMBER OF THESE ENGINES ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR FAILURES. A BAD BATCH WAS PRODUCED AND FORD SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THEM. I ASKED FORD TO REPLACE THE CAR WITH A FACTORY INTACT VEHICLE AND THEY DENIED THE REQUEST. THEY SAY ALL THAT IS REQUIRED OF THEM IS TO FIX THE ISSUE. I BOUGHT THE CAR AS A COLLECTORS ITEM AND THIS TAKES AWAY ALL VALUE AS A COLLECTORS CAR. I OFFERED TO SPLIT THE COST OF GETTING A NEW ONE AND THEY SAID NO. I HAVE SUFFERED MONETARY DAMAGE ON THE VALUE. IT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION HAVING THESE ENGINES BLOW UP. I FEEL FORTUNATE TO HAVE MADE IT THROUGH THE ORDEAL ON THE FREEWAY AND ITS AFTERMATH. THE BACK WHEELS COULD EASILY HAVE LOCKED UP AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. *JS

WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD AND WHEN WARM AND RUNNING UNDER 2000 RPM THE ENGINE MAKES A INCONSISTENT TICKING NOISE WHICH CAN BE HEARD WHILE DRIVING AND AT IDLE. THIS ONLY STARTED AFTER THE FIRST OIL CHANGE WHICH WAS PERFORMED WITH THE RECOMMENDED OIL.

PURCHASED A 2018 FORD MUSTANG SPORT EDITION AND TWICE NOW ONCE AT ABOUT 15,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 20,000 MILES, I LOSE HALF MY POWER AND THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. FORD HAS HAD MY CAR FOR 4 DAYS AND DOES NOT KNOW THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.
