Thr rear view camera does not function properly. Around fifty percent of the time backing up the screen will show "Rear view camera not available." I have owned the vehicle since July 2022. There's a recall currently on this issue, but Ford is saying my vehicle is not included.

Passenger door became partially unlatched while driving at highway speed over rough pavement. This is the second time this has occurred. Both times the dashboard warning light came on to let us know it was unlatched, but we are certain that it was completely closed when initially getting into vehicle. Online Q&A sites confirm multiple others with this experience and no recalls or TSB to this date.

I have a 2017 Ford mustang eco-boost which has a faulty rear view camera. The camera glitches with distorted image with moving horizontal lines. For this exact same issue ford issued a manufacturer Recall Number22S06/22V082, but with a catch. In the recall report they mentioned that camera replacement will apply only for 2015 models. But this issue exists in 2017 models as well and ford need to consider to recall those as well.

Passenger door came unlatched on the highway going approximately 70 mph once on 10/6/2023 and again the next day on 10/7/2023. First, the driver heard the door click and then hear wind and then the door ajar alert sounded on the dashboard.

June 2022, approx. 53000 miles, misfire codes. Replaced spark plugs. Codes continued intermittently. January 2023 car was inspected due to heater inop at 61228 miles. Coolant low and misfires. No repairs, just coolant added. I topped off coolant 3X until April of 2023 at 61631 miles, white smoke and damp smell from exhaust along with continuing misfires. Dealer stated water intrusion, engine and turbo bad. No warranty, less than 50% of cost covered by manufacturer. June 2023 car was returned to me. Back at dealer 4 days later, 61691 miles, rear end shudder. Bad rear differential. Manufacturer covered less than 50% of cost. All maintenance was performed at or earlier than warranty required including rear differential service at 33283 miles with Ford.

I was driving at 60mph when the transmission automatically downshifted to second gear while all sport modes were OFF and T/C was ON. Car was simply on drive, and after merging onto freeway and had completely let go of the accelerator pedal the car downshifted by itself no down shifting was done by the paddles. This is the 4th time my car does this and I have to upshift as fast as possible because RPMs go up as high at 7000. i’ve made some reading and looked at some TSBs looks like this issue has happened to other owners who their vehicle is equipped with the 6R80 transmission.
