2013 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

HOOD PAINT CORROSION. LIKE A LARGE AMOUNT OF OTHER PEOPLE, MY HOOD PAINT IS BUBBLING WITH 87K MILES ON MY CAR. I MAINTAIN MY CAR VERY WELL AND IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. I CONTACTED FORD AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE SUBMITTED TO THEIR CLAIMS DEPARTMENT AND I HAVE NO HEARD BACK. IT'S BEEN SERVAL MONTHS. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT WON'T COVER THEIR MANUFACTURING MESS UP.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V001000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. BETHLEHEM FORD (2135 W UNION BLVD, BETHLEHEM, PA 18018) CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

MY VEHICLE IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS THIS RECALL #19S07 - 6R80 TRANSMISSION UNEXPECTED DOWNSHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR. MY VIN SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL YET IT IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR ON A SEMI REGULAR BASIS 2-3 TIMES PER WEEK. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO TAKE IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND FEEL THIS VIN SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR JUST DROPS DOWN INTO 1ST GEAR IRREGARDLESS OF SPEED. IT IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME. I AM WRITING THIS DESPERATE EMAIL TO NHTSA TO PLEASE PUT MY CAR ON THIS RECALL ASAP AND ALSO DOCUMENTING THE FACT I AM TELLING YOU ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN CASE THERE IS A FUTURE ACCIDENT FOR INSURANCE PURPOSES AND A LAW SUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. PLEASE HELP ME. THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS REPAIR TODAY. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO TAKE IT TO FORD. I KNOW WHAT EVER THE COSTS IT WILL BE 500-1000 OR MORE. PLEASE RECHECK MY VIN: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FROM A STOP, CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT PASS FIRST GEAR. HAD TO STOP, RESTART CAR. WRENCH AND EMPTY GAS WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. WHILE TRAVELING, CAR SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR. EMPTY GAS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO PULL OVER, RESTART CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SPUTTERED AND HESITATED. THE SERVICE VEHICLE SENSOR DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

MY 2013 FORD MUSTANG WOULD LOSE ENGINE POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED. WOULD STILL RUN VERY ROUGH, CHUGGING AT ABOUT IDLE. AFTER A RE-START IT WOULD RUN FOR A SHORT TIME AND REPEAT THE EVENT. HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACE WITH A NEW FORD ONE AND THE PROBLEM RETURNED TWO WEEKS LATER. THE "WRENCH" LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND I WOULD LOSE POWER. VERY DANGEROUS AT FREEWAY TRAVEL. FORD SAYS THEIR RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MUSTANGS.

AFTER HAVING MY CAR FOR 5.5 YEARS, IT STARTED TO SHIFT GEARS ON ITS OWN (IT'S AN AUTOMATIC) AND BRAKE/STALL WHEN I'M GOING LOW SPEEDS. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO ACCELERATE (BEEN STUCK IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS ABOUT 5 TIMES) EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE ENGINE DOES NOT SHUT OFF...SO I WILL TURN MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO GET GOING AGAIN. ONE TIME I WAS ON THE FREE WAY WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS GOING 65 MPH AND MY DASH BOARD WENT COMPLETELY RED AND SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO...THE CAR DID NOT STOP UNTIL I MANUALLY TURNED IF OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ALSO, IT ONCE DID THE OPPOSITE WHEN I WAS TRYING TO BRAKE BEFORE A RED LIGHT, THE CAR JOLTED/ACCELERATED FORWARD WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS. I'VE REPLACED THE AIR FILTERS, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND ENGINE'S WIRE HARNESS (ALL AT SEPARATE TIMES) AND THE ISSUE REMAINS.

CAR SHIFTS DOWN BY ITSELF AND SHOWS DASHES ON THE ODOMETER AS THE SPEEDOMETER GETS STUCK ON ZERO. IT ALSE SHOWS WRENCH LIGHT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE 2013 MUSTANG HAS 6R80 TRANSMISSION AND THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING ME 950$ TO FIX THE CAR. THEY SAID THEY WILL REPLACE THE MOLDED LEADFRAME.

MY 2013 FORD MUSTANG FEELS AS IF IT DROPS INTO 1ST GEAR WHILE AT A SPEED OF 40 TO 60 MPH FEELS AS IF THE CAR BRAKES ON ITS OWN RPMS WILL GO UP BUT SPEEDOMETER WILL BE ON 0 MPH. I THINK THE F 150 IS HAVING A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND MY MUSTANG DOES HAVE THE V6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE WRENCH ICON ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE RPMS INCREASED EXCESSIVELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAVID MCDAVID FORD FORT WORTH (300 W LOOP 820 S, FORT WORTH, TX 76108, (682) 200-1952) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA TO FILE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.
