2016 Ford Mustang complaints

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS OPENED TWICE NOW WHILE DRIVING AFTER BEING CLOSED SECURELY. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE 2015 MUSTANG HAS A RECALL FOR THE DOOR LATCH. I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE.

THE EVAPORATOR CORE ON MY CAR HAS A LEAK AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, OUT OF WARRANTY AND WITH ONLY 4000 MILES ON IT, FOR $1800. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT; FORUMS AROUND THE INTERNET ARE FILLED WITH HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF CONSUMERS WITH IDENTICAL STORIES. FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM (TSB #: TSB18-2166, NHTSA ID #: 10143077), BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR BUYBACK PROGRAM, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THOUSANDS OF CARS ARE LEAKING R134, A TOXIC CHEMICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY HAZARD, INTO THE AIR. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IF CONSUMERS DON'T HAVE THE SPARE NEARLY $2000 TO SPEND ON REPLACING THE CORE, MEANING THE OLD ONE WILL CONTINUE TO LEAK INDEFINITELY.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL OPEN AND I GET A MESSAGE SAYING "PASSENGER DOOR AJAR". I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER TO SHUT THE DOOR. THIS HAPPENS INFREQUENTLY, BUT IT IS STILL DANGEROUS TO HAVE A DOOR THAT YOU THINK IS LOCKED OPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 4 TIMES SINCE I GOT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER OF 2019. *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

MUSTANG'S DOORS OPEN WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY. IT SEEMS TO HAVE FAULTY DOOR LATCHES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR CONDITION WAS ACTIVATED HOWEVER, HOT AIR EMITTED THROUGH THE VENTS WHICH CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO BECOME FOGGY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VISIBILITY WAS DECREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CROSSROAD FORD OF SOUTH PINE LOCATED AT 1590 US HWY 1 SOUTH, SOUTHERN PINES NC, 28387, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE EVAPORATOR CORE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

TRANSMISSION ISSUES, EVAP SENSOR, LOW FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. *TR

THE ALARM NO ACTIVE AND THE DOORS SENSORS OF DOORS LOCKS NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE DO THIS WHEN WAS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. THE BATTERY DISCHARGE IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN USE FOR 3 WEEKS, I REPLACE THE BATTERY TWO TIMES IN 16,000 MILES OF OPERATION, THE CAR ONLY HAS 16,200 MILES OF USE. *TR

THE SAFETY REMOTE ALARM SYSTEMS NOT WORKING, NO ACTIVE, THE CAR HAS DAMAGE 3 BATTERY'S IN 15,000 MILES OF USE.THE AUTOMATIC DOORS SECURITY SENSORS NOT ACTIVE OR WORKING. THE AUTOMATIC REMOTE DOORS UNLOCK SYSTEM NOT WORKING. *TR

TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, TWICE IN A 12 HOUR DRIVING PERIOD MY DRIVER?S DOOR UNLATCHED AND I GOT A ?DRIVERS DOOR AJAR? WARNING ON THE DASH AND COULD SEE DAYLIGHT AROUND THE RIM OF THE DOOR. FOUND THESE REFERENCE NUMBERS ONLINE 20V177000 FORD REF #20S15. *TR

I BEGAN TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING FROM INSIDE MY CAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I DISCOVERED THE BURNING SMELL WAS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN THE SEAT HEATER WAS ON. I UNPLUGGED THE WIRING HARNESS TO FIND THAT A PIN WAS BURNING AND MELTING THE PLASTIC. *TR

THE PASSENGER WINDOW KEEPS GOING UP AND DOWN WITHOUT THE SWITCH BEING USED. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND OFF IN MY DRIVEWAY.

ENGINE COOLING NOT WORKING. HOSES PROBABLY DEFECTIVE. FIRE RISK.

A/C STARTED TO BLOW HOT AIR. THE AUTO REPAIR STATED ITS THE EVAPORATOR NEED REPLACE, ITS A COSTLY JOB AND VERY COMMON.

CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE WHEN I DRIVE IT IN THE HIGHWAY NORMAL SPEED AND NOT ISSUES WITH MOUNTS. MECHANIC CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT.

TOOK MY CAR FOR INSPECTION AND REJECTED FOR 3RD HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT NOT WORKING. CAR ONLY HAS 31000 MILES. VERY COSTLY REPAIR.. NO POWER GOING TO LIGHT.FORD MADE POOR QUALITY LED SYSTEM FAILED. RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT HIGH NUMBER OF THESE LIGHT SYSTEM FAILED WITH LOW MILAGE. I BELIEVE OSHA HAS A REGULATION CONCERNING QUALITY OF WORK. A BETTER QUALITY OF LIGHTNING SYSTEM NEEDS TO DEVELOPED TO ANF FORD NEEDS TO REPLACE THE LIGHT SYSTEM WITHOUT ANY COST FOR CUSTOMERS. DEFINITELY A RECALL ITEM SINCE IT CAN GO OUT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING PLACING THE DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS BEHING THE CAR.

EVAPORATOR CORE WAS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY ON THE AIR CONDITIONER

WHILE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED I ATTEMPTED TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. MANY LIGHTS AND WARNINGS LIT UP LETTING ME KNOW I HAD NO BRAKE FLUID. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO FORD AND INSPECTED IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LINE HAD RUPTURED AND THE DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LINE HAD A 'BUBBLE' AND ALSO NEEDED REPLACEMENT.THIS WAS A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IF I WERE ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS BRAKE FAILURE IN THE 2016 MUSTANG.

THE PASSENGER WINDOW TRIES TO GO UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND SITTING STATIONARY EVEN WHEN MY CAR IS OFF

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT 8/28/2020. THE CAR WAS PUSHED OFF THE ROAD BY A TRACTOR TRAILER AND HIT A GUARDRAIL HEAD ON. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NOTICED A RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG THAT I NEVER RECEIVED. HOW MANY OTHER CARS ARE OUT THERE. THE CAR WAS A MUSTANG BOUGHT IN 2016 AND WAS TOTALED.

WHEN I HAVE MY FRONT RIGHT WINDOW DOWN ABOUT THREE INCHES AND ACCELERATE, I GET CAR EXHAUST INTO CABIN. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THE EXHAUST MOVES FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE OF THE MOVING CAR INTO THE CAR TRUNK AND THEN INTO THE CABIN OF MY CAR. I FIRST NOTICED THIS DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT AND SAID IT WAS PROBABLY A NEW CAR SMELL. I HAD IT CHECKED AGAIN THREE MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE BUT, AGAIN, MECHANIC HAD SAME OUTCOME. I FINALLY GOT FED UP WITH THE SMELL AND ASKED AGAIN 18 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. FORD SPENT WEEKS EXAMINING IT AND HAD A FORD TECHNICIAN ALSO EXAMINE THE CAR. FORD FOUND THE SMELL THIS TIME AND SAID ANOTHER MUSTANG LIKE MINE ALSO HAD THE SAME SMELL. FORD CLAIMED THE SMELL WAS NORMAL FOR THIS TYPE OF MUSTANG. I HAD AN EXPERT TEST THE CAR SEVERAL HOURS ONE AFTERNOON (SEE PART OF REPORT ATTACHED). HE FOUND THAT CARBON MONOXIDE WAS MUCH HIGHER IN THE TRUNK THAN IN THE CABIN. HE FOUND LEVELS AS HIGH AS 411 PPM IN THE TRUNK AND 14 PPM IN THE CABIN. HE CONCLUDED THAT EXHAUST MOVED FROM EXHAUST PIPE TO CAR TRUNK TO CAR CABIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED DRIVING AT 30 MPH, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ODOR COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT UNAWARE IF THERE WAS ANY LEAKS. THE CONTACT TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON WHICH RESUMED NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MONRO AUTO SERVICE AND TIRE CENTER 1769 KUSER RD, HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, NJ 08690, (609) 308-3139 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP, DRIVE BELT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V779000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE NHTSA HOTLINE TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,971.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN BEAUMONT TEXAS AT 70 MPH THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR JUST CAME UNLATCHED. THEN WITHIN 3 MINS THRE DRIVER SIDE DOOR DID THE SAME THING! WE OPENED THE REST OF THE WAY N RECLOSED. BUT THAT'S SCARY AT 70MPH!

DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN THE VACUUM PUMP THAT DRIVES THE BREAK BOOSTER IS CONNECTED TO THE CAM WITH A THREADED CAMSHAFT EXTENSION. THIS PART SHEARED OFF CAUSION THE VACUUMED PUMP TO LOOSE VACUUM AND THE BREAK BOOSTER TO UNEXPECTEDLY STOP FUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE INTERSTATE. THE FAILURE WAS NOTICED AFTER ATTEMPTING TO BREAK. THE RESIDUAL VACUUM PREVENTED THE BREAK LIGHT FROM ILLUMINATING TEMPORARILY. THE BREAKS BECAME DIFFICULT TO PRESS, ABS SPORADICALLY ENGAGED AND THE BREAKING SITUATION WAS UNCONTROLLED PLACING LIFE AND PROPERTY AT RISK.

VEHICLE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70+ MPH, PASSENGER DOOR SUDDENLY CAME LOOSE AND STARTED GETTING PASSENGER DOOR AJAR LIGHTS AND YOU COULD HEAR WIND PASSING INTO THE CAR. THANKFULLY THE PASSENGER WAS HOLDING THE DOOR AT THE TIME SO IT DID NOT FULLY OPEN. VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED.*DT*JB

I PURCHASED MY DREAM CAR FROM AUTONATION OF FREMONT/ HONDA. I DROVE 90 MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE PURCHASE THE SHELBY. UPON ARRIVAL, I MET WITH [XXX], SUPERVISOR IN SALES. BEFORE SIGNING DOCUMENTS, THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE CAR WAS ADVERTISED AT 45,900. [XXX] INDICATED THE PRICE WAS ADVERTISED WRONG AND WAS AT 47,500. [XXX] STATED TO MAKE UP THE PRICE DIFFERENCE, HE WAS GOING TO TINT THE WINDOWS AND ADD PAINT PROTECTION. LAST MONTH I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A CLAIM LAST MONTH FOR THE SWIRL MARKS AND FADING ON BUMPERS AND BREMBO BRAKES. WELL, AUTONATION INDICATED I DID NOT HAVE THE PAINT PROTECTION WARRANTY. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT MO, AND [XXX], GENERAL SALES MANAGER OF AUTONATION, NO RESPONSE. THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS, BUT THIS IS WHAT PUT IT OVER THE TOP. DURING SIGNING OF THE CONTRACT, THEY UP SOLD ME 6000 DOLLARS OF VARIES WARRANTIES. BY THE TIME I CAME HOME TO READ THE DOCUMENTS, I CANCELED ALL THE WARRANTIES. IT TOOK AUTONATION 2 MONTHS TO FIX THE DOCUMENTS AND AUTONATION STATED WE COULD NOT REMOVE WINDSHIELD INSURANCE. I STILL PAID 700 JUST TO GET THE DOCUMENTS IN ORDER. NOT ONLY THAT, [XXX] STATED MY BREMBO BRAKES SQUEAK BECAUSE THEY ARE "HIGH PERFORMANCE", HE DIDN'T FIX THE SQUEAK EVEN WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK WHEN IT WAS TINTED. BY FAR, THIS IS THE WORST CAR EXPERIENCE I EVER HAD. I CALLED AUTONATION COOPERATE AND THEY NEVER RETURNED MY CALL. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SEAT WARMER QUIT WORKING. UPON INSPECTION BY MECHANIC, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SEAT HEATER MODULE SHORTED AT MODULE; MELTED CONNECTOR. (OWNER ALSO REPORTED COULD SMELL AN 'ELECTRICAL BURN' SCENT AFTER USING REMOTE START WHERE THE SEAT WARMER IS AUTOMATICALLY SET.)

PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW & THE AIR CONDITIONING QUIT WORKING THE FIRST SUMMER I OWNED IT. WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, TOOK CAR TO FAMILY FORD AND THEY PUT FREON IN IT BUT IT LEAKED OUT, THEY REPLACED THE COMPRESSOR, PROBLEM PERSISTED. NEXT FOUND THAT THE COMPRESSOR WAS IMPROPERLY INSTALLED & THAT WAS REPAIRED. NOW WARRANTY IS EXPIRED & DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE COMPRESSOR & TOLD ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIRS. CAR HAS 16,000 MILES, GARAGE KEPT, AND HAS NEVER HAD WORKING AC.

MY CAR'S A/C BROKE DOWN WHILE DRIVING EARLY JULY OF THIS YEAR. IT TOOK FOUR VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP TO IDENTIFY THAT THE EVAPORATOR CORE WAS THE ISSUE. BEFORE THIS, THE SCHRADER VALVES, CONDENSER AND ASSOCIATED PARTS WERE REPLACED.

WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED, MY PASSENGER DOOR UNLATCHES AND I RECEIVE A "DOOR OPEN" WARNING ON THE DASH. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES INCLUDING SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE A PASSENGER WAS SEATED NEXT TO THE OPEN DOOR AND I FEEL IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO. I REPORTED IT TO FORD CORPORATE AND THEY ADVISED ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MORE THAN A DOZEN INSTANCES WITH MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN WARMER TEMPERATURES, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR RANDOMLY UNLOCKED. DURING THE FAILURE, THE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING MESSAGE DISPLAYED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER AND PLANET FORD SPRING (20403 INTERSTATE 45, SPRING, TX) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

JUST PICKED MY CAR UP FROM DEALERSHIP, DUE TO A BATTERY ISSUE THAT I PREVIOUSLY POSTED ABOUT, AND MY DRIVER SIDE VENTS ARE BLOWING WARM AIR. I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND JUST LIKE THE BATTERY ISSUE I REPORTED, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT WITH THE 2016 FORD MUSTANG. I WILL NOW HAVE TO BRING MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HOPE THAT THEY CAN GET AROUND TO DIAGNOSING IT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLS REGARDING THESE ISSUES, WHEN FORD IS OBVIOUSLY SELLING DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. MY CAR HAS 30,400 MILES TOMORROW WILL MAKE THE 5TH TIME IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP OVER THE PAST YEAR. INVESTIGATION INTO THESE CARS ARE OBVIOUSLY WARRANTED.

CAR WAS TAKEN TO FORD DEALERSHIP ON 09/04/2019, DUE TO MAJOR CORROSION ON POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL, WHICH HAD CAUSED ENTIRE BATTERY CONNECTOR TO CRUMBLE. FORD SAID IT WAS A BAD BATTERY AND REPLACED IT AT A COST OF $209 TO ME. THIS MORNING, 09/19/2019,I WALKED OUTSIDE AND FOUND ORANGE LIQUID (ASSUMING BATTERY ACID) ON CEMENT UNDER WHERE THE BATTERY IS LOCATED ON CAR. I OPENED HOOD AND FOUND THAT THE NEW BATTERY ALREADY HAS NEW CORROSION ON THE POSITIVE TERMINAL. I HAVE READ IN SEVERAL FORUMS THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR QUITE A FEW FORD OWNERS. OBVIOUSLY, THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE BATTERY BUT SOME UNDERLYING ISSUE THAT IS CAUSING BATTERY TO OVERCHARGE.

AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING. DEALER SERVICE TECH FOUND AIR CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR IS LEAKING. VEHICLE MILEAGE 22968. SERVICE TECH INDICATED THAT THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE RECENTLY AND HE IS SCHEDULED TO REPLACE AN EVAPORATOR ON ANOTHER MUSTANG TOMORROW. REPAIR INVOLVES REMOVAL OF THE DASHBOARD AND COST OF THE PART ALONE IS OVER $1100. SIMILAR ISSUE LISTED MANY TIMES HERE AND MANY MORE TIMES ON DISCUSSION BOARDS AND FORUMS.

2016 FORD MUSTANG WITH 2.3L ENGINE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ENGINE STALLS WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT A STOPLIGHT AND DOES NOT RESTART MAKING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE AIR-CONDITIONING IN THE CAR STOPED WORKING. THE CAR ONLY BLOWS OUT HOT AIR NOW. I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT BUT THIS IS A MASSIVE PROBLEM FOR THE VEHICLE THAT A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS. THIS PROBLEM IS RAMAPNT AND THE CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD. FORD CLAIMS THEY HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR $50,000 DOLLAR CAR HAVING MECHANICAL FAILURES 3 YEARS AFTER IT WAS BUILT. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TOLD ME TO TALK TO THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENT AGENCY IF I DIDN'T LIKE IT

I AM POSTING ABOUT THE 2016 FORD MUSTANG. I WANTED TO ADD MY COMPLAINT BECAUSE I KNOW IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE FIXED FOR IT'S CUSTOMERS.IT IS A LEAK IN THE EVAPORATOR CORE WHERE THE AIR STOPS WORKING (BLOWING WARM AIR)

I WAS DRIVING CAR UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BROGHT VEHICLE TO LOCAL AUTOZONE AND WAS GIVEN A P144C CODE. I BROUGHT CAR TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD EVAP PURGE VALVE WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAD TO BE REPLCED. INVOICE ALSO SHOWS THAT PCM WAS UPDATED TO LATEST CALIBATRION.

MY CAR WAS PARKED AFTER DRIVING AROUND 2 MILES AND HAD BEEN OFF FOR AROUND 2 HOURS.WHEN I RETURNED TO CAR, IT WOULD NOT START AND GAVE ME A MESSAGE SAYING KEY WAS REQUIRED. DASHBOARD LIGHTS, RADIO, AIR BLOWER CAME ON BUT ENGINE WOULD NOT TURNOVER, JUST MADE CLICKING SOUND. I THOUGHT KEY FOB WAS PROBLEM SO TRIED THE SPARE ONE. WHILE WAITING FOR HUSBAND TO BRING EXTRA FOB I NOTICED AIR COMING OUT OF BENTS SMELLED LIKE SULPHER. WHEN SPARE FOB DID NOT FIX PROBLEM, WE CHECKED THE BATTERY AND FOUND THAT THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL HAD EXCESSIVE CORROSION AND IT WAS SO HOT THAT IT WAS BUBBLING AND THE TENINAL BOLT HAD COMPLETELY CORRODED AND FELL OFF UPON TOUCH. UPON INSPECTION, WE ALSO SAW THAT THE CORROSION HAD ALSO DAMAGED THE END OF THE BATTERY CABLE. FIVE DAYS PRIOR MY VEHICHLE WOULD NOT START AFTER DRIVING AROUND 30 MINUTES AND ALSO SAID "KEY REQUIRED" BUT WHEN I TOOK THE FOB APART TH O LOOK FOR BATTERY AND PUT IT BACK TOGETHER MY CAR STARTED ON THE NEXT TRY. OTHER THAN THAT INCIDENT, THERE HAD BEEN NO PRIOR WARNING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BATTERY AND I HAD NO ISSUES STARTING MY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOST ELECTRICAL POWER AND THE ENGINE STALLED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE CONTACT COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CARMODY FORD (1111 NY-29, GREENWICH, NY 12834, (518) 692-2246), BUT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. *JB

DRIVING (IN MOTION)AT A HIGH OR LOW SPEED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY CHANGE THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE STALLING WHICH COULD'VE CAUSE ME MY LIFE AND INNOCENT OTHER DRIVER THEIR LIFE WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING AS SOON AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 270 HIGHWAY IN MARYLAND. I TRIED TO DRIVE ON THE STREET TO PARK MY VEHICLE DURING A SLOWING SPEED THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN THAT A VEHICLE ALMOSTED REAR END MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE SUDDEN STOP AND STALLING .I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW LESS THAN 25000 MILES . I WAS RESEARCHING MANY FORD OWNERS HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH LESS OR HIGH MILES . WHY HAVEN'T FORD MAKE A RECALL FOR EVERYONE SAFETY. CODE P144C IS A COMMON PROBLEM REPORTED BY CONSUMERS

DOOR LATCH ALLOWS DOOR TO OPEN WHEN DRIVING. PAWL SPRING TAB IN DOOR MAY BE BROKEN AND WAS PART OF THE FORD 2015 RECALL TO FIX. MY CAR IS A 2016 BUT MADE WITH 2015 PARTS.MY DEALER WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM. RECALL # 16S30

AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR CRACKED AND LEAKING, CAUSING HOT AIR TO BE BLOWN FROM DRIVER SIDE AIR DUCTS. DIAGNOSIS PERFORMED BY FORD DEALERSHIP, REQUIRED REMOVE AND REPLACEMENT OF EVAPORATOR AND CONNECTING HOSES. TOTAL COST $1850.

FUEL EVAPORATOR VALVE FAULTY. VALVE WOULD STICK OPEN, CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL DIRECTLY AFTER FUELING. I ORDERED THE PART THROUGH A FORD DEALERSHIP. REPLACEMENT OF FUEL EVAPORATOR VALVE ELIMINATED THE ISSUE. PART COST $45

I DROVE UP TO MY GYM, GOT OUT OF MY CAR, LOCKED IT AS USUAL SO NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. WENT BACK OUT TO MY CAR ABOUT 30 MIN LATER AND SAW SMOKE BILLOWING FROM WINDOWS... OPENED MY DOOR PASSENGER SIDE AND MY GLOVE COMPARTMENT WAS THE SOURCE SO I OPEN IT AND ALL I SAW WERE FLAMES LEAPING FROM THE TOP OF THE COMPARTMENT AND FLAMES COMING OUTTA THE AIR VENTS. WITHIN MINUTES THE ENTIRE GLOVE BOX COMPARTMENT AS WELL AS THE DASH ITSELF MELTED ONTO THE FLOORBOARD. SOME GENTLEMAN FOUND A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND PUT IT OUT BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EVEN ARRIVED. IM JUST LUCKY I WASN'T IN IT BUT THIS HAD TO BE SOME MANUFACTURE DEFECT IN THE WIRING BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT IT STARTED ABOVE THE GLOVE BOX RIGHT WERE THE WIRE HARNESSES ENTER THE CAR THROUGH THE FIRE BREAK BETWEEN THE CAR AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD, CRACKING SOUND. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED HER THAT THE EVAPORATOR CORD WAS LEAKING AND THAT THE AIR COMPRESSOR NEEDED REPLACING. THE MECHANIC ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAULTY COMPRESSOR WAS RELATED TO THE NOISES SHE HEARD. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH NALLEY FORD SANDY SPRINGS (7555 ROSWELL RD, ATLANTA, GA 30350 (678) 809-5711) AND WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA TO FILE A SAFETY COMPLAINT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED.

HELLO, I AM REPORTING ON STALL OF 2016 FORD MUSTANG ECO BOOST, WHILE WE ARE ON SIGNAL OR TRYING TO DRIVE VEHICLE IN RAMP SUDDENLY VEHICLE STOPS AND WHILE BRING THE STICK TO NEUTRAL AND TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE DOESN'T START. THIS HAS ENCOUNTERED ONCE AT HIGHWAY WHICH CAUSED A TRAFFIC JAM FOR NOT ABLE TO START VEHICLE FOR 5-7 MINUTES, I HAVE REPORTED THRICE IN LAST 2 YEARS TO SERVICE AND NOT RECEIVED RIGHT RESPONSE ON CONDITION, AFTER 6 MONTHS RECENTLY I ENCOUNTERED THE SAME ISSUE IN JULY 2019 WHICH CONCERNS 4TH TIME. NEED SUPPORT RESPECTIVELY.

TOOK MY CAR TO FORD DEALERSHIP THEY SAID AIR-CONDITIONER EVAPORATOR CORE IS OUT THEY HAVE RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS AND MIGHT ONE DAY HAVE A RECALL.. NO AC ON A TWO-YEAR-OLD CAR WITH 40,000 MILES. VERY POOR QUALITY NOT WORTH THE MONEY

WHEN VEHICLE SITS IN HOT SUN WHILE PARKED NOT IN OPERATION THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL STAY ON WHEN CAR IS STARTED. IT STAYS ON UNTIL CAR IS DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 10 MINS OR SO AND THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. THIS ONLY HAPPENS ON HOT SUNNY DAYS.
