2013 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE CONTACT PROCEEDED VERY SLOWLY AT APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH; HOWEVER, THE PRECEDING VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO STOP AND REAR ENDED THE OTHER VEHICLE'S BUMPER AT A LOW SPEED. THE DRIVER'S AND FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT SUFFERED A BURN ON THE RIGHT ARM THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE PASSENGER WAS UNINJURED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS SHOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED AT SUCH A LOW SPEED. THE POLICE ARRIVED, BUT THE CONTACT DID NOT RECALL IF A REPORT WAS FILED. THE AIR BAG FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE CRASH DAMAGE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

THERE IS A RECALL ON THE TASHAKI AIRBAGS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER 5 YEARS TO GET AN AIRBAG I HAD A 2005 FORD MUSTANG IT NEEDED AN AIRBAG THAT CAR HAS SINCE BEEN TRADED OFF THEN I BOUGHT A 2013 FORD MUSTANG AND IT'S THE SAME THING IF THE AIRBAG BUT WITH THIS 2013 FORD MUSTANG THE LIGHTS KEEP FLICKERING ON AND OFF THEY FADE IN AND OUT THEY'LL COME ON AND THEN THEY'LL GO OUT AND COME BACK ON

I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-35 IN THE ARBUCKLE MOUNTAINS IN OKLAHOMA GOING 70MPH WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR. IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE BEING APPLIED FORCEFULLY AND THEN THE CAR RETURNED TO DRIVING NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ON THE SHOULDER AS I HAD ALMOST GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT THE FIRST TIME IT DID IT. DURING THIS TIME THE CAR WAS IN THE DRIVE SELECTOR AND WHEN THE PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN THE CAR WOULD SHOW IT HAD ENTERED SPORT MODE AND THEN THE DOWNSHIFTING WOULD OCCUR. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WITHOUT WARNING AND SUDDENLY, WITHOUT ANY INPUT FROM ME. THIS TERRIFIED ME AS I WAS GOING AT SUCH A HIGH SPEED AND IT WAS SPRINKLING OUT AND A CAR WAS FOLLOWING CLOSELY BEHIND ME. LUCKILY I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A NEARBY FORD DEALERSHIP TO BE LOOKED AT AND ARE AWAITING THE RESULTS. AS I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM LATER THAT NIGHT I FOUND THAT MANY FORD 2011-2012 VEHICLES HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. MINE IS A 2013 MODEL AND WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, THEREFORE I WAS UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL NHTSA RECALL 18V046 CONTACTED HUNTINGTON BEACH FORD TO ASK FOR PROMPT REPAIR. THEY STATED THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART IN STOCK. THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH A DATE OF WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE IT. THIS LEAVES ME WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE WITHOUT ANY IDEA OF WHEN THE REPAIR CAN TAKE PLACE.

I WAS SHIFTING MY CAR INTO 3RD HEAR AND THE SHIFTER GOT STUCK CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO NOT LET ME GET OUT OF GEAR THIS HAPPENED IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

CLEAR COAT FINISH ON TRUNK PANEL BEGAN PEELING WHEN CAR 3 1/2 YEARS OLD. ALUMINUM HOOD CORROSION AT ALMOST 5 YEARS OLD PAINT IS BUBBLING AT THE FRONT EDGE OF ALUMINUM HOOD. APPARENTLY WHEN BEING PAINTED THE ALUMINUM HOOD WAS CONTAMINATED WITH STEEL PARTICLES WHICH FORD KNEW AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURE WOULD CAUSE CORROSION AND PAINT PEELING BUT DID NOTHING TO TRY TO CORRECT THE METAL CONTAMINATION WHEN VEHICLES WERE PAINTED SO NOW AT 24,800 MILES THE HOOD IS CORRODING AND PAINT IS BUBBLING AND PEELING. I PAID ALOT OF MONEY FOR THIS CAR MUSTANG V6 PONY PACKAGE AND TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH HOOD CORROSION AND PEELING PAINT ON THIS CAR IS RIDICULOUS AND SHAMEFUL THAT FORD WILL NOT COVER THIS DAMAGE. I HAVE BOUGHT FORD VEHICLES MY WHOLE LIFE BUT I WILL NEVER EVER BUY A FORD VEHICLE AGAIN.

THE ELECTRONIC THROTLE BODY CONTROL HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE ENGINE ACCELERATOR QUITS WORKING AND THE ENGINE RUNS AT IDLE BUT THERE IS NO ACCELERATION WHEN YOU STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN I STOP AT A SIGNAL OR STOP SIGN AND THEN ATTEMPT TO CONTINUE DRIVING, AND I HAVE BEEN STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION ON CITY STREETS. THIS HAS OCCURED ABOUT 4 OR 5 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH.
