2016 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

JUST PICKED MY CAR UP FROM DEALERSHIP, DUE TO A BATTERY ISSUE THAT I PREVIOUSLY POSTED ABOUT, AND MY DRIVER SIDE VENTS ARE BLOWING WARM AIR. I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND JUST LIKE THE BATTERY ISSUE I REPORTED, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT WITH THE 2016 FORD MUSTANG. I WILL NOW HAVE TO BRING MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HOPE THAT THEY CAN GET AROUND TO DIAGNOSING IT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLS REGARDING THESE ISSUES, WHEN FORD IS OBVIOUSLY SELLING DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. MY CAR HAS 30,400 MILES TOMORROW WILL MAKE THE 5TH TIME IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP OVER THE PAST YEAR. INVESTIGATION INTO THESE CARS ARE OBVIOUSLY WARRANTED.

CAR WAS TAKEN TO FORD DEALERSHIP ON 09/04/2019, DUE TO MAJOR CORROSION ON POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL, WHICH HAD CAUSED ENTIRE BATTERY CONNECTOR TO CRUMBLE. FORD SAID IT WAS A BAD BATTERY AND REPLACED IT AT A COST OF $209 TO ME. THIS MORNING, 09/19/2019,I WALKED OUTSIDE AND FOUND ORANGE LIQUID (ASSUMING BATTERY ACID) ON CEMENT UNDER WHERE THE BATTERY IS LOCATED ON CAR. I OPENED HOOD AND FOUND THAT THE NEW BATTERY ALREADY HAS NEW CORROSION ON THE POSITIVE TERMINAL. I HAVE READ IN SEVERAL FORUMS THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR QUITE A FEW FORD OWNERS. OBVIOUSLY, THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE BATTERY BUT SOME UNDERLYING ISSUE THAT IS CAUSING BATTERY TO OVERCHARGE.

AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING. DEALER SERVICE TECH FOUND AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR IS LEAKING. VEHICLE MILEAGE 22968. SERVICE TECH INDICATED THAT THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE RECENTLY AND HE IS SCHEDULED TO REPLACE AN EVAPORATOR ON ANOTHER MUSTANG TOMORROW. REPAIR INVOLVES REMOVAL OF THE DASHBOARD AND COST OF THE PART ALONE IS OVER $1100. SIMILAR ISSUE LISTED MANY TIMES HERE AND MANY MORE TIMES ON DISCUSSION BOARDS AND FORUMS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE AIR-CONDITIONING IN THE CAR STOPED WORKING. THE CAR ONLY BLOWS OUT HOT AIR NOW. I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT BUT THIS IS A MASSIVE PROBLEM FOR THE VEHICLE THAT A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS. THIS PROBLEM IS RAMAPNT AND THE CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD. FORD CLAIMS THEY HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR $50,000 DOLLAR CAR HAVING MECHANICAL FAILURES 3 YEARS AFTER IT WAS BUILT. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TOLD ME TO TALK TO THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENT AGENCY IF I DIDN'T LIKE IT

2016 FORD MUSTANG WITH 2.3L ENGINE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ENGINE STALLS WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT A STOPLIGHT AND DOES NOT RESTART MAKING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

I AM POSTING ABOUT THE 2016 FORD MUSTANG. I WANTED TO ADD MY COMPLAINT BECAUSE I KNOW IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE FIXED FOR IT'S CUSTOMERS.IT IS A LEAK IN THE EVAPORATOR CORE WHERE THE AIR STOPS WORKING (BLOWING WARM AIR)

I WAS DRIVING CAR UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BROGHT VEHICLE TO LOCAL AUTOZONE AND WAS GIVEN A P144C CODE. I BROUGHT CAR TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD EVAP PURGE VALVE WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAD TO BE REPLCED. INVOICE ALSO SHOWS THAT PCM WAS UPDATED TO LATEST CALIBATRION.

MY CAR WAS PARKED AFTER DRIVING AROUND 2 MILES AND HAD BEEN OFF FOR AROUND 2 HOURS.WHEN I RETURNED TO CAR, IT WOULD NOT START AND GAVE ME A MESSAGE SAYING KEY WAS REQUIRED. DASHBOARD LIGHTS, RADIO, AIR BLOWER CAME ON BUT ENGINE WOULD NOT TURNOVER, JUST MADE CLICKING SOUND. I THOUGHT KEY FOB WAS PROBLEM SO TRIED THE SPARE ONE. WHILE WAITING FOR HUSBAND TO BRING EXTRA FOB I NOTICED AIR COMING OUT OF BENTS SMELLED LIKE SULPHER. WHEN SPARE FOB DID NOT FIX PROBLEM, WE CHECKED THE BATTERY AND FOUND THAT THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL HAD EXCESSIVE CORROSION AND IT WAS SO HOT THAT IT WAS BUBBLING AND THE TENINAL BOLT HAD COMPLETELY CORRODED AND FELL OFF UPON TOUCH. UPON INSPECTION, WE ALSO SAW THAT THE CORROSION HAD ALSO DAMAGED THE END OF THE BATTERY CABLE. FIVE DAYS PRIOR MY VEHICHLE WOULD NOT START AFTER DRIVING AROUND 30 MINUTES AND ALSO SAID "KEY REQUIRED" BUT WHEN I TOOK THE FOB APART TH O LOOK FOR BATTERY AND PUT IT BACK TOGETHER MY CAR STARTED ON THE NEXT TRY. OTHER THAN THAT INCIDENT, THERE HAD BEEN NO PRIOR WARNING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BATTERY AND I HAD NO ISSUES STARTING MY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOST ELECTRICAL POWER AND THE ENGINE STALLED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE CONTACT COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CARMODY FORD (1111 NY-29, GREENWICH, NY 12834, (518) 692-2246), BUT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. *JB

DRIVING (IN MOTION)AT A HIGH OR LOW SPEED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY CHANGE THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE STALLING WHICH COULD'VE CAUSE ME MY LIFE AND INNOCENT OTHER DRIVER THEIR LIFE WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING AS SOON AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 270 HIGHWAY IN MARYLAND. I TRIED TO DRIVE ON THE STREET TO PARK MY VEHICLE DURING A SLOWING SPEED THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN THAT A VEHICLE ALMOSTED REAR END MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE SUDDEN STOP AND STALLING .I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW LESS THAN 25000 MILES . I WAS RESEARCHING MANY FORD OWNERS HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH LESS OR HIGH MILES . WHY HAVEN'T FORD MAKE A RECALL FOR EVERYONE SAFETY. CODE P144C IS A COMMON PROBLEM REPORTED BY CONSUMERS
