My 2017 Ford Mustang Convertible front door unlatched to the secondary safety position while driving at highway speeds. This became a huge issue on October 13, 2026 while taking a long-distance trip. The passenger door unlatched at least 10 times. During this trip, my car exceded the 150,000 mile limit to Ford customer satisfication program 21N10. When I contacted both my local dealer and the Ford customer service team, both said their is nothing they can do to help me. I am quite frustrated that Ford rejected my safety concerns on this known issue and was unwilling to recognize the extunuating circumstances of when this happened.

I have experienced a concerning issue twice while driving. On both occasions, I was traveling at approximately 72 mph with all doors closed and locked when the vehicle indicated that the passenger door was ajar. Although the door did not fully open, it appears that the latch may not have remained securely engaged. My concern is that if I have a passenger in the vehicle and this occurs again, it could create a serious safety risk. I would like to know what may be causing this issue and what can be done to correct it. Could this be related to a defective door latch, sensor, or another component?

Our 2017 has had an ongoing problem through the years with the passenger door opening at speed. Sometimes going 70 mph on the interstate. Lately it has happened more and more. Yesterday, my wife called me at work, very upset saying that the passenger door popped open again on her way to work. I have read that Ford has had some issues with driver side doors opening, but have not seen a recall for the passenger side. This is very dangerous and scares my wife. Ford seems to be very slow with giving attention to safety issues. Last year, our rearview camera on the same car was supposed to have been repaired. They did part of the job but said they are waiting on a part. That was October of 2025. I have heard nothing back. I have contacted the dealership, who tells me they will get back with me, but they basically have not. Meanwhile, I still have a nonworking backup camera. I know they are bogged down with recalls, but these are ongoing, very serious safety issues.

This is a Mustang convertible. The doors would be open all of the sudden when the car is running especially on highway. It's not wide open but ajar. The wind would blow into the car, noisy and scary. Both doors have this issue, mainly on driver side. The passenger side also happened once on highway when my daughter was there. This typically happen in a long drive like couple of hours. The first time this happened is couple of years ago. This issue happened more and more often in the past year. I found online that this issue was reported and some of the cars were recalled. However, my car is not one of those that were recalled. I believe this is a big deal and should be taken care of seriously. Thank you.

While driving my recently purchased 2017 Ford Mustang Convertible from Florida to North Carolina, the passenger-side door repeatedly unlocked and partially opened while the vehicle was traveling at interstate speeds. This occurred approximately 12 times during the trip. The door appeared to latch normally when closed, but would unexpectedly unlock and pop open while the vehicle was in motion. This created a significant safety concern due to the risk of occupant injury, driver distraction, and potential loss of vehicle control. I am aware that Ford has issued recalls related to door latch failures on certain Mustang models; however, my vehicle's VIN is not included in the recall population. Based on my research, numerous owners of Ford Mustang Convertibles from model years around 2017 have reported experiencing similar door latch and door-opening issues. Given the frequency of the occurrences and the obvious safety implications of a vehicle door opening while traveling at highway speeds, I believe this issue warrants further investigation.

"I am reporting High Desert Ford (formerly Sunland Ford) for refusing to perform the remedy for Safety Recall 25S89 (NHTSA 25V572) on my 2017 Ford Mustang. Despite my vehicle exhibiting the exact 'distorted/blank image' defect described in the recall, the dealership refused the repair based on two non-compliant grounds: 1. Digital vs. Physical Defect: The dealer stated that because no 'Diagnostic Trouble Codes' (DTCs) were present, they would not replace the camera. This ignores the fact that NHTSA 25V572 identifies the root cause as internal PCB corrosion—a physical hardware failure that Ford acknowledges causes visual distortion regardless of digital codes. 2. Illegal Tie-In (Magnuson-Moss Violation): The dealership is conditioning my federal safety remedy on the removal of an aftermarket dash display. They claim diagnosis is 'impossible' with it installed, yet simultaneously claimed the vehicle 'passed' inspection. This constitutes an illegal tie-in provision under 15 U.S.C. § 2302(c), as they have failed to provide any technical proof that the display caused the internal camera corrosion identified by Ford. I have video evidence of the safety failure which the dealership refused to review. By denying this repair, High Desert Ford is knowingly leaving a vehicle on the road with a defect that increases the risk of a crash."

While driving 45mph, my passenger door suddenly opened, and I received a notification on my car's dashboard warning me that the door had opened. When it was safe to pull over, I was able to shut the door but this has been the second time this has occurred, the first being about 2 months earlier while I was driving on the free way going 65mph. This is very dangerous since if my door opened while I was driving, my belongings could fall out of my car while driving, my passenger would be put at risk, and my door could potentially hit another car next to me. Ultimately, my passenger door's lock failed and it is available for inspection upon request. The door failing to stay locked while driving put me and my passenger at risk. The vehicle has not been inspected since I looked online and many others with my car have this issue, but Ford requires hundreds of dollars just to inspect which I can not afford right now. There was a warning sign on my car's dashboard that my passenger door opened while I was driving.

The rear backup camera does not work. The rear backup camera by Ford has been recalled for other vehicles but not for the Mustang. Your agency fined Ford millions of dollars for not recalling the rear backup camera. So Ford recalled the rear backup camera only on certain vehicles not on all vehicles with the same camera. What are you going to do about it? Ford continues to say there's nothing wrong with the rear camera in their vehicles even though you have more complaints for the rear camera than other complaints in other vehicles than the few that they recalled to make it seem like they were doing the right thing. Ford should recall all cameras affected.
Complaints 1-50 of 268, newest first, reproduced as filed.
Complaint volume is well above typical for a single model year.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
