2011 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. HESITATION WHEN UPON INITIAL TAKE OFF AND INCONSISTENT SHIFTING. CAUSES HAZARDOUS CONDITION WHEN YOU EXPECT THE VEHICLE TO GO AND THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE.

INTERMITTENT STEERING ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING, WHICH CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO VIOLENTLY JERK OUT OF YOUR HANDS WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IT FAILS, ITS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN ALL DRIVING SITUATIONS - DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, STUCK IN TRAFFIC, PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, ETC. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY, AND RIDICULOUS FORD HASN'T ISSUED A WARRANTY FOR THEIR STEERING ISSUE.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING MORE AND MORE TROUBLE WITH BEING ABLE TO UNBUCKLE MY SEATBELT FROM THE BELT BUCKLE AFTER PARKING AND ATTEMPTING TO GET OUT, IT KEEPS GETTING STUCK AND DOESN'T RELEASE LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO. I HAVE NEVER SPILLED ANYTHING ON IT, OR INSIDE THE BELT BUCKLE LOCKING MECHANISM. MY VEHICLE IS A 2011 FORD MUSTANG GT.

I AM HAVING MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHICH FORD WILL NOT ADDRESS. SOMETIMES THIS IS INTERMITTENT, SOMETIMES IT IS CONSTANT. HERE IS WHAT HAPPENS: I GET A BARRAGE OF ERRORS ON THE DASH, THE RADIO AND AIR CONDITIONER WILL CYCLE ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES (SOMETIMES WILL REMAIN OFF); REAR BRAKE LIGHTS STOP WORKING, REAR TURN SIGNAL STOPS WORKING. IT DOES THIS RANDOMLY, SOMETIMES FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. I WORRY THAT SOMEONE MAY NOT CHECK THE BRAKE LIGHTS OR TURN SIGNAL AND BE SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE ALERTED FORD ABOUT THIS AND BELIEVE THAT IT FELL ON DEAF EARS. THE CAR CAN BE IN MOTION, STATIONARY, CITY, HIGHWAY, RAIN, SNOW, SLEET, OR SUN, DRIVEN AGGRESSIVELY OR GENTLY. NOTHING SEEMS TO TRIGGER THE PROBLEM, IT JUST HAPPENS. THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED A LARGE PART OF ITS LIFE.

MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON WHEN ON ONE WAS THERE. THEN IT STARTED TURNING ON THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASH. IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT WAS IN THE SEAT IF ANYTHING THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. I HAVE BEEN SITTING IN THE SEAT AND ONE MINUTE NO LIGHT THEN THE NEXT LIGHT IS ON INCLUDING ON THE DASH. DOESN'T MATTER HIGHWAY CITY OR HOW FAR YOU DRIVE.
