VERY AUDIBLE THUMPING NOISE IN SUSPENSION, EITHER FRONT OR BACK (NOT SURE), AT SLOW SPEED, JUST PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, OR PARKING, DRIVING AND GOING OVER MINOR BUMPS ON THE STREET. VEHICLE IS BABIED, ONLY HAS 24,000 MILES, ORIGINAL OWNER. LIVE IN THE SE PART OF THE COUNTRY. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? *TR

SINCE I'VE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW I HAVE HAD RANDOM ISSUES WITH THE CAR. FIRST I'VE EXPERIENCED A HUGE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION, IT MAKES A VIBRATING/SHAKING PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING ON ANY STREET ANY SPEED. I HAVE OPERATED MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS BEFORE AND HAVE NEVER RAN ACROSS THIS. NO MATTER WHAT GEAR OR WHAT CONDITION IT CONSISTENTLY DOES THIS. FORD DEALER WAS TO NO HELP AT ALL. AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL START TO UNCONTROLLABLY SWERVE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STARTS BLINKING, THIS ISSUE IS UNKNOWN TO ME WHY THIS HAPPENS AND HAS ALMOST PUT ME IN AN ACCIDENT. SECONDLY, THE ENTIRE IGNITION TUMBLER JUST POPPED OUT. I CAN PULL THE IGNITION OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN.

YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THE 2012 MUSTANG HAS A DEFECTIVE PART CALLED A THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. FORD IS AWARE IT IS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THEY WERE REPLACING THIS PART FREE OF CHARGE PRIOR TO JANUARY 2015. CURRENTLY IT IS NOT UNDER A SAFETY RECALL BUT IT MOST CERTAINLY SHOULD BE. WHEN YOU DRIVE A CAR WITH THIS DEFECT YOUR CAN AN ACCELERATE, OR DECELERATE, AT ITS OWN WILL. IT DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE COMMANDS THE DRIVER GIVES. IT JUST SUDDENLY SLOWS OR SPEEDS UP AS IT LIKES. IF YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS IT MAY BE HARD TO UNDERSTAND HOW UNSAFE THIS CAN BE. IT IS NOT NAN EXPERIENCE I RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. FORD DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A PROBLEM, BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR AS A RESULT. TRY TOOLING ALONG I-95 AT 65 MILES PER HOUR AND HAVING YOUR CAR SUDDENLY SLOW AND SHUDDER ALMOST TO A STOP...FUN TIMES. THIS DEFECT CREATES AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION THAT 100% UNACCEPTABLE AND YOU REALLY SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEONE, (LIKE ME) GETS KILLED. I AM SURE SOMEONE HAS ALREADY HAD ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.
TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY JULY 2015 AND ANOTHER JULY 2016. CONTACTED LOCAL FORD DEALER CONCERNING RECALL 2 MONTHS AGO TO HAVE AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED. AS OF THIS DATE (9/2/2016) HAVE RECEIVED NO WORD REGARDING PART'S ARRIVAL (DEALERSHIP ASSURED ME THEY WOULD CALL WHEN PART ARRIVED). PLEASE NOTE THAT IT HAS BEEN OVER 1 YEAR SINCE RECEIVING 1ST RECALL LETTER AND NEARLY 8 WEEKS AND PENDING THAT PART STILL HAS NOT COME IN.
THE FAN BLOWER MOTOR 2P CONNECTOR IS DAMAGE. MECHANIC INDICATE SIGNS OF MELTING AND BURNING ON THE MAIN HARSHNESS WHICH RELAYS THE FAN, AND AC COMPRESSOR. ALSO INTENSE CHIPPING OF PAINT ON LEFT FRONT QUARTER PANEL.
I GOT A LETTER ON AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL, THIS WAS IN JULY I CAME DOWN AN SPOKE WITH MICHAEL AT THE FORD COMPANY ON SAGE RD. IN MEMPHIS TN. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR HIM TO CAL ME BACK ONCE HE ORDER THE PART #15S21/ NHTSA RECALL 15V-319, IT"S BEEN A MONTH NOW
PAINT IS BUBBLING UNDER HOOD CAUSED BY CORROSION OF THE ALUMINUM. FORD IS AWARE BUT WILL NOT REPAIR UNDER THE 60 MONTH UNLIMITED CORROSION WARRANTY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO RESTART, BUT IT STALLED MORE THAN THREE TIMES AFTERWARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.
ON AUGUST 1, 2016, AT APPROXIMATELY 7:30 P.M., I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON U.S, HIGHWAY 1 (Y,S, HIGHWAY 2 IS A 3-LANE ROAD). SUDDENLY, MY VEHICLE LOST THE POSER TO ACCELERATE. I WAS PANICKED, AS THERE WAS TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND TO MY LEFT SIDE. I COULD DO NOTHING TO STOP THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION. FORTUNATELY, MY FRIEND AS FOLLOWING ME AND WAS IMMEDIATELY AWARE THAT I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM. MY FRIEND IMMEDIATELY PUT ON HIS EMERGENCY FLASHERS; AS I SLOWED, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE AND COAST INTO A FILLING STATION. AT THIS TIME, I NOTICED TWO THINGS; THE CAR RAN ROUGHLY AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AND A WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED ON THE DASH. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO A SAFE LOCATION ON THE FILLING STATION LOT. MY FRIEND SEARCHED FOR THE SYMBOL IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL WHICH INDICATED THERE WAS A THROTTLE CONTROL PROBLEM AND I SHOULD CONTACT MY DEALER IMMEDIATELY. AT THIS TIME, I CALLED AAA AND WAS ADVISED THAT A TOW TRUCK WOULD BE THERE IN APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR AND A HALF. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED, I COMPLETED THE PAPERWORK AND THE CAR WAS TAKE TO PARADISE FORD WHERE I PURCHASED IT IN 2012. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, FORD CALLED ME AND DIAGNOSED IT AS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND REPLACED IT. SOME RESEARCH INDICATED THAT A TSB HAD BEEN ISSUED TO FORD DEALERS ABOUT THE MALFUNCTION OF THIS ITEM. BECAUSE IN MY CASE, THIS WAS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, I FEEL FORD SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED ME AND GIVEN ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. AS A RESULT OF THIS, I WAS CHARGED $621
VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER STEERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. VEHICLE ALSO MADE CLUNKING SOUNDS WHILE TURNING. HAD TO REPLACE EPAS STEERING ASSEMBLY AT MY OWN COST $1656. UNSAFE AND UNPROVEN DESIGN. ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS FOR EPAS ARE MOUNTED LOW SO ROAD GRIME/RAIN PENETRATE INTO THE CONNECTOR CAUSING MALFUNCTION.

MY CAR HAS GONE INTO 'LIMP' MODE SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS.

THIS PART HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR SEVERAL OTHER FORD MODEL VEHICLES - BUT NOT THE MUSTANG AND THEY WON'T COVER IT. IT'LL COST ME $570 TO GET THE PART REPLACED IN MY VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING - AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS - INCLUDING GOING 65+ MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY.

ON JUNE 28, I CALLED LINDSAY FORD IN WHEATON MD WHICH SAID IT DID NOT HAVE PARTS AND WOULD NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD. I CALLED KOON'S FORD IN SILVER SPRING MD, WHICH SAID PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE FALL. ON JUNE 30, I CALLED THE FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER TO FIND OUT WHERE TO GET THIS REPAIRED; AFTER INTERMINABLE WAIT ON THEIR LINE, I FINALLY SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE, WHO FORWARDED ME TO "KEVIN." HE WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN MY AREA. I AM CONCERNED THAT FORD HAS NOW SENT ME A LETTER, THE FIRST NOTICE OF ANY ISSUE WITH MY CAR, AND QUITE ALARMING; FORD TOLD ME TO CALL DEALER RIGHT AWAY, WHICH I DID, AND NEITHER OF TWO DEALERS I CALLED NOR THE FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER CAN SEEM TO HELP.

2012 FORD MUSTANG. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEALERSHIP/ MANUFACTURER/NHTSA FAILURE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIRS OF DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE IN A TIMELY MANNER. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. *JB
AFTER WAITING AT A LIGHT IN THE LEFT TURN LANE, I STARTED ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, SLOWLY INTO MY LEFT TURN. AT ALMOST COMPLETION OF THE TURN, MY TACHOMETER WENT FROM 3000 RPMS TO OVER 6000 RPMS. THE CAR HAD A SUDDEN JOLT AT THIS MOMENT AND THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP. I WENT INTO A SLIDE AND THE CAR SLID ACROSS 2 LANES INTO A TREE FILLED MEDIAN. THE CAR WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THERE WERE NO FACTORS THAT COULD INFLUENCE SUCH A CRASH, AS THE ROAD WAS DRY, IT HADN'T RAINED. THE ROAD WAS WELL PAVED. FINALLY, SPEED WASN'T A FACTOR IN THE CRASH. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE DOWNSHIFTS IN GEARS, HOWEVER AFTER A RECENT RECALL WE REALIZED WHAT HAD HAPPENED.
ON MARCH 27, 2015, I BROUGHT MY MUSTAND TO FORD BECAUSE I DISCOVERED ON THE HOOD OF MY CAR, THAT THE PAINT WAS BUBBLING/COMING APART FROM THE HOOD. ON APRIL 7, 2015, THE FORD DEALER REPAINTED MY HOOD. THEN, I NOTICED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME, IN MORE THAN ONE AREA OF MY HOOD THAT THE PAINT WAS LIFTING OFF OF THE HOOD. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY BUT THEY WERE RELUCTANT TO REPLACE THE HOOD OR REPAINT AT NO COST. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THAT I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN DURING THE "WARRANTY PERIOD" AS IN THE MANUAL HOWEVER, THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED SINCE IT RETURNED AGAIN.
WHILE DRIVING CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND SHOWS WRENCH LIGHT AND GOES INTO LIMP MODE. TROUBLE CODES SHOWN P2111 AND P2112. THIS CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME DURING DRIVING AND HAS HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES.

I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE LAST YEAR IN 2015. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALER IN NAPA CALIFORNIA FOR SERVICE/REPAIR. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE REPLACE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY HAD NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED YET. I WENT BACK FOR SERVICE IN MARCH 2016, AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. IF I AM MAIMED, WOUNDED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS DANGEROUS EQUIPMENT AND NEGLIGENT PROCESS, I HOPE MY FAMILY FILES A HUGE LAW SUITE AND FORD AND THE US GOVERNMENT FOR FAILURE OF OVERSIGHT OF A KNOWN DEFECT CAUSE HARM OR DEATH.
DURING INITIAL ACCELERATION AFTER A LEFT TURN, SHIFTING FROM 1ST INTO 2ND GEAR, THE VEHICLE SHOOK WILDLY AND VIOLENTLY ROCKED SIDE TO SIDE AND LOST POWER. THIS WAS THE SECOND IDENTICAL OCCURRENCE ON CITY STREETS WHILE ACCELERATING OUT OF LEFT TURNS. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, HAD TO MAKE IMMEDIATE MOVES TO THE RIGHT LANE BEFORE POWER WAS RESTORED. BASED ON OTHER REPORTING AND RESEARCH, IT APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE OF THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS 18,500 MILES AND HAS A MT-82 TRANSMISSION.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
