2016 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

THE AC QUIT BLOWING COLD AIR, TOOK IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP LEFT WITH AN ESTIMATED REPAIR COST $1800.00. THE EVAPORATOR CORE IS LEAKING AND MUST BE REPLACED, SO THE DASH HAS TO BE TAKEN OUT. MY CAR ONLY HAS 30,539 MILES

THERE IS A KNOCKING COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE ENGINE CYLINDER HEAD RIGHT AFTER AN OIL CHANGE AND NOW AT THE SECOND OIL CHANGE IT IS STILL THERE.

VEHICLE ELECTRONIC POWER STEER FAILED WHILE CRUISING APPROXIMATELY 60MPH ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD. POWER ASSIST DISABLED, VEHICLE STILL DRIVEABLE JUST NO POWER ASSIST. PROBLEM WILL CLEAR ITSELF IF VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED BUT RETURNS A SHORT TIME LATER

FIRST THE AC WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. I HAD IT SERVICE LAST YEAR. THIS YEAR THE CAR WAS BLOWING COLD AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAD THE BLENDOR REPLACED. 3 MONTHS LATER THE CAR AGAIN BEGAN TO BLOW WARM AIR I HAD IT CHECKED AND NOW 30 DAYS LATER THE CAR MAKES A WHINING NOISE WHEN THE AC OR DEFROST IS TURNED ON. THE NOISE BECOMES LOUDER AS YOU ACCELERATE. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS MODEL VEHICLE. THERE ARE ALSO A LOT OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS DESCRIBING THE SAME ISSUE SOME STARTING WITH IN 9 MONTHS OF PURCHASE. I ALSO PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW AND HAVE MAINTAINED THE REQUIRED SERVICE. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IT CONTINUES WHEN IN MOTION.

VEHICLE SHUT DOWN 2 TIMES, ONCE IN TRAFFIC, DID RESTART, SEEMINGLY BECAUSE OF LOW SYSTEM VOLTAGE CAUSED BY A PARASITIC DRAW ON THE BATTERY WHICH HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE NEW. MULTIPLE DTC'S IN HISTORY WHICH I CAN SUPPLY, FORD OF COURSE KNOWS NOTHING, BUT I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON WEB PAGES ABOUT S550 BATTERY DRAW.

STARTED MY CAR THIS MORNING AND AS I WAS BACKING OUT, I NOTICED IT WAS IDLING ROUGHLY, CAUSING THE CAR TO SHAKE. WHEN STOPPED, THE CAR FELT LIKE IT MIGHT DIE AND THE RPM WAS INCONSISTENT WHILE ACCELERATING AND THE CAR WAS MOVING. VERY ROUGH RIDING. ALSO, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND BEGIN BLINKING.
