TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A PROGRESSING FAILURE WITH THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WOBBLING AND THE SUSPENSION WAS UNSTABLE WHEN DRIVING OVER UNLEVELED LAND. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE NEAR THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MORE THAN TWO DEALERS. ONE OF THE DEALERS WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE RECEIVED SEVERAL REPAIRS FROM MORE THAN ONE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE NUTS AND BOLTS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED.

WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 15S21/NHTSA RECALL 15V-319 FROM FORD IN JULY 2015. THE LETTER STATES ..IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, AND THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG RUPTURES, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD STRIKE OCCUPANTS CAUSING INJURY/DEATH. BASED ON THIS NOTICE, WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE FORM FORD. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER CARE @ 800392-3673. I SPOKE TO SUPERVISOR AL AND TOLD HIM WE WERE NOT DRIVING OUR CAR DUE TO RECALL NOTICE. WHEN WILL IT BE REPAIRED. HE SAID UNKNOWN WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. HE SAID, NHTSA SAID THE 2013 FORD MUSTANG IS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. IS THE MUSTANG SAFE TO DRIVE OR NOT. WHAT IS YOUR RECOMMENDATION ON.

NOTICED I COULDN'T GET THE CAR (2013 BOSS 302 - BOUGHT NEW) TO SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR AT HIGHER RPMS. (NOT ON THE TRACK, JUST ON THE FREEWAY). MENTIONED TO LOCAL DEALER AND IT WAS BRUSHED OFF BECAUSE THE CAR WAS SO NEW. WELL, IT STILL HAPPENS AND SEEMS TO BE WORSENING. ONLY 3RD GEAR AND ONLY HIGHER RPMS. WHEN TRYING TO GET INTO 3RD IT JUST GRINDS AND DOES'T LATCH.

CAR SEEMED TO HAVE A MISS WHEN DRIVING ....AFTER STOPPING AND GETTING BACK IN AND STARTING CAR WAS APPARENTLY NOT RUNNING LIKE IT SUPPOSED TO ....ALSO HAD NO GAS PEDAL CONTROL AT ALL...WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF AND RESTART AND GET TO A AUTO PARTS STORE TO HAVE ENGINE TESTED ( AT THIS TIME NOTICE ENGINE LIGHT ON). CODE GIVEN WAS P2111....THROTTLE ACUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK OPEN UPON DOING RESEARCH HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON SAME MODEL CAR AS MINE ....ALSO FORD ESCAPE HAS SAME ISSUE AND FORD HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY TO FIX THE PROBLEM .......CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY SAY NOT RELATED TO MY CAR ...APPARENTLY THIS MAY BE THE SAME ISSUE AS MINE ....NO HELP FROM THEM THOUGH

CANNOT SHIFT FROM FORTH TO FIFTH IN MY CAR AND 2ND GEAR EXPERIENCES A LOCK OUT / MISSED SHIFT AND WILL NOT GO IN TO 2ND. BAD TRANSMISSION AND SYNCRO. PROBLEMS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

ALL 2013 MUSTANGS COME EQUIPPED WITH LED DRL LAMPS THAT ILLUMINATE FULL TIME WHENEVER THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. THESE ARE TWO WHITE STRIPS ALONGSIDE EACH HEADLAMP. IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, THEY ARE BARELY NOTICEABLE; LESS UP CLOSE. ON OVERCAST DAYS, THEY ARE SLIGHTLY VISIBLE BUT SO DIM, THEY OFFER NO "ADDED" SAFETY EFFECT FOR HAVING THEM ON, VS OTHER VEHICLES WITH DRL'S. I'VE SEEN OTHER MUSTANGS SAME YEAR AS MINE & THEY ARE ALL THE SAME. NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. AT NIGHT, THEY ARE LIT WITH SAME BRIGHTNESS LEVEL, WHICH IS JUST ABOUT RIGHT (AT NIGHT). WHY DO THEY ADVERTISE HAVING THEM SINCE THEY DO ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD? IN FACT, THEY CAN GIVE THE VEHICLE OPERATOR A FALSE SENSE OF "ADDED SECURITY", THINKING YOU ARE SEEN MORE EASILY BY OTHER DRIVERS? *TR
