2016 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

DOOR LATCH ALLOWS DOOR TO OPEN WHEN DRIVING. PAWL SPRING TAB IN DOOR MAY BE BROKEN AND WAS PART OF THE FORD 2015 RECALL TO FIX. MY CAR IS A 2016 BUT MADE WITH 2015 PARTS.MY DEALER WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM. RECALL # 16S30

FUEL EVAPORATOR VALVE FAULTY. VALVE WOULD STICK OPEN, CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL DIRECTLY AFTER FUELING. I ORDERED THE PART THROUGH A FORD DEALERSHIP. REPLACEMENT OF FUEL EVAPORATOR VALVE ELIMINATED THE ISSUE. PART COST $45

AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR CRACKED AND LEAKING, CAUSING HOT AIR TO BE BLOWN FROM DRIVER SIDE AIR DUCTS. DIAGNOSIS PERFORMED BY FORD DEALERSHIP, REQUIRED REMOVE AND REPLACEMENT OF EVAPORATOR AND CONNECTING HOSES. TOTAL COST $1850.

I DROVE UP TO MY GYM, GOT OUT OF MY CAR, LOCKED IT AS USUAL SO NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. WENT BACK OUT TO MY CAR ABOUT 30 MIN LATER AND SAW SMOKE BILLOWING FROM WINDOWS... OPENED MY DOOR PASSENGER SIDE AND MY GLOVE COMPARTMENT WAS THE SOURCE SO I OPEN IT AND ALL I SAW WERE FLAMES LEAPING FROM THE TOP OF THE COMPARTMENT AND FLAMES COMING OUTTA THE AIR VENTS. WITHIN MINUTES THE ENTIRE GLOVE BOX COMPARTMENT AS WELL AS THE DASH ITSELF MELTED ONTO THE FLOORBOARD. SOME GENTLEMAN FOUND A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND PUT IT OUT BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EVEN ARRIVED. IM JUST LUCKY I WASN'T IN IT BUT THIS HAD TO BE SOME MANUFACTURE DEFECT IN THE WIRING BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT IT STARTED ABOVE THE GLOVE BOX RIGHT WERE THE WIRE HARNESSES ENTER THE CAR THROUGH THE FIRE BREAK BETWEEN THE CAR AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD, CRACKING SOUND. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED HER THAT THE EVAPORATOR CORD WAS LEAKING AND THAT THE AIR COMPRESSOR NEEDED REPLACING. THE MECHANIC ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAULTY COMPRESSOR WAS RELATED TO THE NOISES SHE HEARD. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH NALLEY FORD SANDY SPRINGS (7555 ROSWELL RD, ATLANTA, GA 30350 (678) 809-5711) AND WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA TO FILE A SAFETY COMPLAINT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

ON FRIDAY, JULY 19, 2019, MY SON WAS DRIVING ON I-75 IN FLORIDA, GOING FROM UNIV OF TAMPA TO FERNANDINA BEACH. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (APPROX 70 MPH), THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR UNLATCHED - THIS HAPPENED TO HIM TWICE ON THE TRIP. HE PULLED OVER & HAD TO CLOSE THE DOOR. HE MENTIONED THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED TO HIM ONCE BEFORE A FEW WEEKS AGO. THERE IS A FORD RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR 2015 MUSTANGS BUT NO RECALL FOR 2016.*DT VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED 7/23/19. *JB

HELLO, I AM REPORTING ON STALL OF 2016 FORD MUSTANG ECO BOOST, WHILE WE ARE ON SIGNAL OR TRYING TO DRIVE VEHICLE IN RAMP SUDDENLY VEHICLE STOPS AND WHILE BRING THE STICK TO NEUTRAL AND TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE DOESN'T START. THIS HAS ENCOUNTERED ONCE AT HIGHWAY WHICH CAUSED A TRAFFIC JAM FOR NOT ABLE TO START VEHICLE FOR 5-7 MINUTES, I HAVE REPORTED THRICE IN LAST 2 YEARS TO SERVICE AND NOT RECEIVED RIGHT RESPONSE ON CONDITION, AFTER 6 MONTHS RECENTLY I ENCOUNTERED THE SAME ISSUE IN JULY 2019 WHICH CONCERNS 4TH TIME. NEED SUPPORT RESPECTIVELY.

TOOK MY CAR TO FORD DEALERSHIP THEY SAID AIR-CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR CORE IS OUT THEY HAVE RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS AND MIGHT ONE DAY HAVE A RECALL.. NO AC ON A TWO-YEAR-OLD CAR WITH 40,000 MILES. VERY POOR QUALITY NOT WORTH THE MONEY

WHEN VEHICLE SITS IN HOT SUN WHILE PARKED NOT IN OPERATION THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL STAY ON WHEN CAR IS STARTED. IT STAYS ON UNTIL CAR IS DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 10 MINS OR SO AND THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. THIS ONLY HAPPENS ON HOT SUNNY DAYS.

THERE IS A SMALL CRACK IN THE CAULKING AROUND MY REAR WINDSHIELD THAT ALLOWS WATER TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT AND SEATBELT GET WET. THE HEADLINER ALSO SHOWS WATER DAMAGE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED. MY DRIVEWAY HAS A SLIGHT UPWARD SLANT AND IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE THAN WHEN MY CAR IS PARKED ON A LEVEL SURFACE.
