2015 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR. I WENT TO ACCELERATE AND HEARD AND FELT A LOUD BOOM. THE CAR SHUTTERED AND SMOKE BEGAN TO POUR INTO THE CAR. I SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND COULDN'T RESTART IT. THE BAY AREA FREEWAY SERVICE PATROL STOPPED TO TOW ME TO A SAFE AREA. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THERE WAS OIL ALL OVER THE ROAD AND BACK OF THE CAR. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP. THE INSPECTION FOUND A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. THE CAR HAS 74,000 MILES ON IT AND FORD IS UNWILLING TO HELP BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE.

TOOK MY FORD MUSTANG TO FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL VAPOUR HOSE. ONCE JOB WAS COMPLETED I ASKED IF IT WAS COVERED SINCE I HAD DONE RESEARCH AND IT WAS A RECALL THIS MUSTANG HAD. THEY SAID NO, AND ENDED UP PAYING 350.84. IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET A REFUND?

WHILE BACKING UP FROM A PARKING SPACE THE STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT & KEPT TRYING TO BOUNCE BACK TO CENTER. IT WAS INTERMITTENTLY EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THEY ALLEGEDLY CORRECTED THE ISSUE. THAT NIGHT MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND EXECUTED A RIGHT TURN AT SPEED. THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY JERKED BACK TO CENTER. THE VEHICLE STRAIGHTENED OUT OF THE TURN INTO THE MEDIAN AND TOWARD ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WITH TERRIFIC STRENGTH AND EFFORT MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO FORCE THE VEHICLE BACK INTO THE LANE AND AVOID A COLLISION. THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER LET UP WITH WARNING MESSAGES AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WITH TREMENDOUS EFFORT WE ABLE TO SAFELY GET THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. SINCE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, HIS STRENGTH WAS THE ONLY THING THAT PREVENTED IMPACTING VEHICLES IN THE ONCOMING LANE DURING THE TURN. I CAN ONLY GUESS THAT HAD I BEEN BEHIND THE WHEEL WHEN THE STEERING FAILED THE OUTCOME MAY HAVE BEEN TRAGIC. THE DEALERSHIP NOW SAYS THE STEERING RACK REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 44K MILES AND IS MY DAILY DRIVER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BACK UP CAMERA FAILED TO DISPLAY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE, THE CAMERA DID NOT SHOW AN IMAGE AND THE SCREEN WAS BLANK. THE CONTACT'S SON ALSO REPORTED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD MOVE ON ITS OWN AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN. IN ADDITION, THE ABS AND POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MEDVED FORD (1404 S WILCOX ST, CASTLE ROCK, CO 80104, (303) 688-3137) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW POWER STEERING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

AT 42000 MILES A/C STARTED BLOWING WARM AIR. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS INVOLVING THE SAME THING.

BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AND STAYED ON STEADY SO PEOPLE BEHIND COULD NOT TELL WHETHER OR NOT I WAS BRAKING ....WHEN DRIVING CAR WOULD DROP SPEED FOR NO APPARENT REASON LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT. I FOUND SMALL PLASTIC DEBRIE ON FLOOR MAT I GUESS IT WAS A WASHER TYPE THING FROM BRAKE SWITCH BRITTLE AND BROKEN IS PIECES? THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING.

BACKUP CAMERA MALFUNCTIONING, HAVE HAD SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE EXPENSE IS GETTING HIGHER AND STILL NO FIX. FORD KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX BUT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THESE CARS HAVE SOO MANY BLIND SPOTS YOU CAN'T SEE BACKING UP WITHOUT IT. IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN CAR HEATS UP, IT ROLLS OR GOES BLANK AND WON'T COME ON AT ALL MOST DAYS. IT STARTS INTERMITTENTLY SO WHEN YOU CARRY IT TO FORD THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG BUT THEN IT GOES BACK TO DOING AND YOUR A DANGER WHEN BACKING OUT ANYWHERE WHY IS NOBODY DOING ANYTHING?? I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JUNE OF 2018 AND IT WAS MESSED UP EVEN THEN WHEN THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD IT. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP 5 OR 6 TIMES IF NOT MORE. LCD SCREEN REPLACED WIRES CHECKED AND NOW I'M HAVING PAY 300$ TO REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS AND NO GUARANTEE OF A FIX. I FEEL UNSAFE AND HAVE BACKED OUT IN FRONT OF MOVING VEHICLES AND THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF NOT FIXED. YOU CAN'T SEE IN THIS CAR WITHOUT IT!!CAN SOMEONE PLEASE DO SOMETHING THIS IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AS A PROBLEM AND NO ONE HAS ANY ONE SURE SOLUTION BUT ITS DEFECTIVE AND COSTING A FORTUNE AND STILL NOT WORKING, WHILE FORD OVERLOOKS IT THAT'S SOO DANGEROUS!! YOU CANNOT SEE!!!

A PLASTIC PAD ATTACHED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL ARM THAT'S REQUIRED IN ORDER FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH TO OPERATE CORRECTLY APPARENTLY DISINTEGRATED. AS A RESULT, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON CONTINUOUSLY. I NOTICED IT WHEN ITHE CAR WAS PARKED AT HOME, BUT DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT HAPPENED.

YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING ON A HOUSTON HIGHWAY AT 60+ MPH MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR UNLATCHED AND WARNING LIGHT AND SOUND CAME ON THAT MY DOOR WAS AJAR. THE DOOR OPENED ON IT'S ON I HAD TO PULL OVER AND CLOSE IT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED THIS MONTH. BOTH TIMES WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FROM FORD A FEW YEARS AGO FOR THIS ISSUE BUT I SEARCHED FOR RECALLS ON MY VIN AND MINE WAS NOT RECALLED.

WHEN DRIVING THE BRAKE STOPLIGHT SWITCH PAD THAT ATTACHES TO THE BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY FAILS DUE TO IT BEING BRITTLE PLASTIC. THIS CAUSES THE ON BOARD COMPUTERS TO BELIEVE THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED AND DRASTICALLY SLOWING THE VEHICLE DOWN FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO LESS THAN 50MPH AND PREVENTING ACCELERATION. I WAS ACCELERATING TO INTERSTATE SPEEDS WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THIS REDUCED MY SPEED FROM 60 MPH TO 47-50MPH WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. IT ALSO ILLUMINATED THE BRAKE LAMPS ON MY VEHICLE WHICH MADE IT APPEAR OTHER DRIVERS I WAS STOPPING ABRUPTLY. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP I COULD ACCELERATE UP TO 35-50MPH HOWEVER IT WAS INTERMITTENT ACCELERATION AS THE CAR WOULD LURCH FORWARD AND SLOW DOWN. MY BRAKE LIGHT WERE ON THE ENTIRE TIME CONFUSING OTHER DRIVERS. PIECES OF THE BROKEN BRAKE LIGHT STOP PAD WERE FOUND ON MY FLOORBOARD ONCE I WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE THE VEHICLE HOME.
