2015 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR BOARD. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE REAR BRAKES FAILED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE EVENT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHILE ADJUSTING THE AIR TEMP WITH MY RIGHT HAND, MY PINKY TOUCHED THE START STOP BUTTON CAUSING THE VEHICLE ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND DISCOVERED THAT MY CAR WOULD SHUT DOWN IN DRIVE BY JUST TOUCHING THE START STOP BUTTON. THE ONLY WAY TO RESTART THE ENGINE IS TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. IT WAS SAFE FOR ME, ALTHOUGH I WAS IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC, BECAUSE I WAS ON A TWO LANE ROAD WITH SHOULDER ROOM AVAILABLE. THE SEAT DID NOT RETURN TO THE EXIT POSITION. I AM VERY CAREFUL NOW WHEN MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CONTROLS CLUSTER BECAUSE OF THE CLOSENESS OF THE START STOP BUTTON TO THE OTHER CONTROLS. THE SWITCH ALSO OPERATES WITH VERY LIGHT PRESSURE AND ITS SURFACE IS CONVEX. I DO NOT LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WHEN I TRIED TO BRAKE FOR A STOP LIGHT THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSED AGAINST THE PRESSURE OF MY FOOT AND WOULD NOT LET ME STOP. I USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO KEEP FROM WRECKING MY VEHICLE INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I DECIDED TO GO DIRECTLY TO MY WORKPLACE, USING MY EMERGENCY BAKE TO STOP AT EACH LIGHT/STOPSIGN, AFTER THIS HAPPENED. IN ADDITION TO THE BRAKE ISSUE, WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE FROM STOP THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE VERY SLOWLY AS IF IN A LIMP MODE. NO LIGHTS HAVE APPEARED ON MY DASH AND FORD HAS TOLD ME THERE ARE NO CODES STORED. THEY SAY THAT HAVING IT TOWED HAS RESET MY VEHICLE?!? FORD HAS TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE THEY DONT SEE ANY CODES STORED IN THE COMPUTER I SHOULD PICK UP MY VEHICLE AND DRIVE OFF WITH IT. MY FATHER OWNES A MOBILE ELECTRONICS SHOP AND HAS SEEN LOTS OF DIFFERENT ISSUES ON MANY VEHICLES WHERE THE CPU'S IN THE VEHICLE HAS ISSUES AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO ACT IN MANY FAULTY WAYS. SOME WITH CODES, OTHERS WITHOUT. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT ONE OR MORE OF THE CPU'S IN MY VEHICLE HAVE A DEFECT CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO ACT THIS WAY. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS CAR NOW AND DO NOT AGREE WITH FORD THAT I SHOULD CONTINUE DRIVING MY VEHICLE.

RENTAL CAR, I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC GOING INTO THE LINCOLN TUNNEL WHEN THE BRAKE PEDDLE DID NT WORK PROPERLY. THE PEDDLE WENT DOWN ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE PEDDLE PULSATED AND NEEDED A LOT OF PRESSURE TO STOP THE CAR. THE BRAKES STARTED TO WORK AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES. THIS INCIDENT WAS SCARY AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO ENTERPRISE CAR RENTAL.

I FAILED TO LEAVE THE CAR IN 1ST GEAR ON AN APPROXIMATELY 4% GRADE. I ENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE AND LEFT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE REMAINED PARKED IN PLACE FOR 20-30 MINUTES. SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 0 AND 30 MINUTES LATER, THE PARKING BRAKE RELEASED AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED DOWN THE GRADE, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY. I AM AN EX-BRAKING ENGINEER AND HAVE REPRODUCED THE DEFECT MULTIPLE TIMES WELL UNDER THE FMVSS 135 PROTOCOL LIMITS OF ACCEPTABLE PERFORMANCE. I COMMUNICATED THIS TO FORD CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY WISH FOR ME TO HAVE BODY DAMAGE REPLACED THROUGH INSURANCE.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ONLY A MILE FROM MY HOUSE. SLOWED DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT AND THE ENGINE STALLED OUT. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP FINE. I THOUGHT MAYBE I STALLED IT SINCE THERE WAS NO CEL AND IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. HOWEVER THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED 3 DAYS LATER, THE SAME DISTANCE FROM MY HOUSE. THIS TIME I KNEW I DID NOT STALL IT. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW. THEY EXPLAINED THEY WOULD HAVE GREAT DIFFICULTY REPLICATING THE ISSUE SINCE IT DIDN'T THROW ANY CODES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR A BRAND NEW CAR WITH ONLY 10,000 MILES.

UPON APPROACHING 60MPH THE CAR EXHIBITS AN EXTREME VIBRATION FROM THE DRIVELINE. IT IS FELT THROUGH THE WHOLE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL AND SEATS. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE DRIVESHAFT, AND THE VIBRATION IS STILL PRESENT. THE DEALERSHIP BELIEVES THE PROBLEM IS AXLE RELATED AND ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE FROM FORD. FORD ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE, BUT DID NOT OFFER A SOLUTION . THE DEALERSHIP BELIEVES IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. FORD IS STILL NOT ADDRESSING IT. FROM THE ONLINE COMMUNITY, THIS IS AN ISSUE AFFECTING 40% OF 2015 MUSTANG VEHICLES. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ACTIVATED, THE ODOR OF BURNT OIL WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.

I EMAILED THE FOLLOWING TO FORD ON 2/9/2015 WITH NO RESPONSE TO DATE FROM THEM HELLO, I DON'T KNOW WHO TO CONTACT OR HOW TO GET MY POINT TO THE RIGHT PERSON, I AM HOPING YOU WILL MAKE SOMEONE TAKE NOTICE. I RENTED A 2015 MUSTANG WHILE ON VACATION IN JANUARY. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY KNEE HIT THE KEYS ( RENTAL CARS ALWAYS HAVE THE EXTRA KEYS AND INFO TAG MAKING IT BULKY ANYWAY ). THE KEYS TURNED THE IGNITION TO ACCESSORY AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC AT 70 MPH. AFTER THE NEWS REPORTS OF THE OTHER IGNITION RECALL THAT I HAVE SEEN ON ABC AND MY FIRST RESPONSE TRAINING, I STAYED CALM AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE SURE FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND SOMETHING IS DONE BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT. I NOTIFIED THE RENTAL COMPANY OF THE ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND LET ME KNOW THAT YOU HAVE AT LEAST READ MY MESSAGE. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE SURE NOONE GETS HURT AND THE ISSUE IS AT LEAST DUPLICATED AND INVESTIGATED. THANK YOU.
