2015 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

THE BRAKE STOP PAD SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED ON MY '15 FORD MUSTANG V6 WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR LOST POWER: WOULD NOT EXCEED APPROX 1500 RPM, THROTTLE UNRESPONSIVE, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (MIL). I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO WAY ROAD AND SUDDENLY LOST POWER AS I WAS APPROACHING THE 75MPH SECTION FROM 55MPH. THE TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND ME COULD HAVE REAR ENDED ME IF THEY WEREN'T PAYING ATTENTION. FORTUNATELY, WHEN THE PAD BROKE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED DESPITE NOT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. OTHER DRIVERS WERE AWARE THERE WAS A PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY BEFORE I TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS. WITH THE PAD BROKEN, THE TAIL LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF EVEN AFTER ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND THE BUTTON-START IGNITION BYPASSED THE NEED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKES TO START THE ENGINE. IT IS DANGEROUS TO BE ABLE TO START THE ENGINE WITHOUT NEEDING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES. MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO TROUBLESHOOT SINCE THERE'S NO MIL OR DTC CODES. THIRD PARTY REPLACEMENT PAD COST $2, BUT FORD, APPARENTLY, ONLY SELLS THE WHOLE BRAKE ASSEMBLY FOR $200 AND COSTS UP TO $900 TO HAVE IT DONE. PEOPLE HAVE OPTED TO USE ZIP-TIES OR DISC MAGNETS INSTEAD. VEHICLES WITH THIS BRITTLE BRAKE PAD NEED TO HAVE THEM REPLACED ASAP. IT SEEMS '15 VEHICLES ARE FAILING AFTER 3-4 YEARS. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND BYPASSING THE BUTTON-START IGNITION SAFETY FEATURES MAKES THIS A SERIOUS ISSUE. OWNERS WITH THIS ISSUE SEEM TO LIVE IN HOTTER REGIONS LIKE TEXAS OR FLORIDA.

LOCATION OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IS THE WORSE POSSIBLE PLACE. FAILURES ARE COMMON DUE TO WATER DAMAGE CAUSING POWER STEERING TO STOP WORKING AT ANY MOMENT. EVEN WHEN CAR IS MOVING WHICH COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS OR DEATH.

THE A/C SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED AS EVAPORATOR CORE IS LEAKING, THATS WHY NO COLD AIR DUE TO FREON LEAKING. FORD IS NOT PAYING FOR THIS COMMON PROBLEM, FAULTY EVAPORATOR CORE MUSTANG 2015-2016.

THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE IN LAST SUMMER. MY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH PAD BROKE INTO PIECES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO MERGE INTO A CITY HIGHWAY FROM A FREEWAY. SUDDENLY I COULD ONLY ACCELERATE FOR 2 SECONDS WHENEVER I STEP ON GAS, AND I ALSO NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHT NEVER STOPS EVEN AFTER I TURNED MY CAR OFF. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AND GOT KILLED. THIS PROBLEM IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG NEW MUSTANG MODELS AFTER 2015. FORD IS NOT DOING ANYTHING, AND THEY WOULD CHARGE YOU $200 FOR THE WHOLE BRAKE ASSEMBLY WHILE I ONLY NEEDED A 50 CENTS PLASTIC PAD. MY DAD IS A CAR MECHANIC, AND HE WAS SURPRISED THAT A CAR IN 2015 WOULD HAVE A SUCH COMMON PROBLEM IN 90S.
