FROM DAY 1 UNTIL PRESENT WITH 6400 MILES, THIS CAR ON HARD ACCELERATION, BRINGS IN EXHAUST FUMES SO SEVERE THAT THE FUMES WILL MAKE YOU PHYSICALLY SICK AND WILL EVEN SET OFF A CARBON DIOXIDE DETECTOR ( THIS HAPPENS WITH ALL WINDOWS SHUT AND THE AIR ON RECIRCULATE). NORMAL DRIVING, NO PROBLEM IF ENGINE RPMS ARE KEPT BELOW 1500 RPM --- BUT---- DON`T TRY TO GET UP TO SPEED MERGING ON A FREEWAY OR ANY HIGH REVVING SITUATION. FORD DEALER WON`T DO ANYTHING UNTIL IT THROWS A COMPUTER CODE, WHICH IT HAS NOT. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A JOKE AFTER SPENDING HOURS ON THE PHONE. I THINK I BOUGHT A MODERN YUGO. *TR

10/1/2014

WHILE DRIVING THE MUSTANG (WHICH IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION) I NOTICED THAT THE SPEED OF THE CAR DOESN'T DECELERATE WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR IS GIVEN GAS (MORE THAN AN IDLE AMOUNT) WHEN I DO NOT DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL. IT HAPPENS IN ALL 6 GEARS BUT IT'S MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN IN FIRST OR SECOND. ALSO, WHILE THE CAR IS IN GEAR, THE ENGINE FIGHTS TO SLOW DOWN WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT WHEN IT OCCURS WHILE IN A PARKING LOT WITH PEOPLE AROUND IT BECOMES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REGARDING THE DAMAGE THE VEHICLE OCCURRED JUST BECAUSE OF A BLOW OUT . THE WOMAN WAS EXTREMELY RUDE AND SAID YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE HIT A CURB ANY EXPERIENCE DRIVERS OUT HERE KNOWS IF YOU HIT A CURB IT DOES NOT CAUSE THIS DAMAGE AND I AM THANKFUL FOR MY INSURANCE AS THEY ARE LOOKING INTO THE VEHICLE AS SERIOUS DEFECTS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DAMAGE TO THIS VEHICLE HAPPENED AT THE TIME OF THIS SO CALLED BLOW OUT AND THAT IS WHY I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE SO I TRULY BELIEVE THAT WHEN THE DAMAGE OCCURRED TO THE DRIVER SIDE BACK TIRE WAS THE RESULT OF MAYBE A ROD HITTING THE BACK TIRE CAUSING THE BLOW OUT BECAUSE I HAVE DRIVEN A VEHICLE FOR OVER 35 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS MUCH DAMAGE NOR THIS MUCH PROBLEM DUE TO A BLOW OUT. NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON MY VEHICLE UNTIL I GOT STOPPED NOT EVEN LOW PRESSURE TIRE ...WHEN THE STEERING WENT OUT IT FELT LIKE I WAS TRYING TO DRIVE A CAR WITH THE KEYS OFF , THE STEERING WHEEL FROZE.... AT THIS TIME I STILL DO NOT KNOW ALL THE DAMAGE AS THIS WAS JUST VISUAL INSPECTION FROM THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ATTEMPTING TO FIX MY NEW CAR ...I DO BLAME FORD FOR THIS AS THIS WAS UNUSUAL AS I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT YET THE CAR LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN IN A HEAD IN COLLISION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING A 2014 FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE FROM THE LONG BEACH AIRPORT (RENTAL) AND LOST STEERING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH. I WAS IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE AND AS I APPROACHED FULL SPEED, THE CAR BEGAN TO VEER INTO THE LANE TO THE LEFT OF ME. AS I TRIED TO CORRECT, THERE WAS A DELAYED RESPONSE BY THE STEERING MECHANISM BY ABOUT 3-4 SECONDS. THE CAR THEN VEERED BACK RIGHT, AND AGAIN, ANOTHER DELAYED RESPONSE. I WAS VEERING WIDELY BETWEEN THE WIDTH OF TWO LANES WHILE THIS WAS OCCURRING. THIS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT A MINUTE UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND EXIT THE FREEWAY. *TR

7/1/2013

I'VE HAD TWO SITUATIONS WITHIN A TWO WEEKS SPAN OF EACH OTHER. BOTH TIMES I LOST STEERING POWER WHILE IN THE PARKING LOT, AND A STEERING POWER ERROR CROSSED THE INFORMATION BOARD ON THE DASH. THE FIRST TIME I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT IN 1ST GEAR AND THE STEERING STOPPED WORKING. THE SECOND TIME I WAS PULLING IN TO A PARKING SPOT AND LOST POWER WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE. I OWN A 2014 FORD 5.0 MUSTANG GT WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING WHEN POWER TO THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOST. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART TO GET THE POWER STEERING TO KICK BACK IN. THIS MADE THE CAR HARD TO TURN OUT OF NO WHERE WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I COULD'VE HIT ANOTHER CAR IN THE PROCESS HAD I NOT BRAKE IN TIME. THERE IS A WITHOUT A DOUBT A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. *TR

2014 FORD MUSTANG. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SHE HEARD A TICKING SOUND, AFTER DRIVING FOR 15 MINUTES. THE DEALER STATED THE ENTIRE LONG BLOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER THE LONG BLOCK WAS REPLACED, THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, AND THE ENGINE WAS REVVING HIGHER THAN NORMAL. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING BY ITSELF IN GEAR AND THERE WERE PRESSURE ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE CONSUMERS CONCERN. THE NEXT TIME THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER, THE IGNITION WAS REPLACED. THE RPM'S CONTINUED TO REV, IDLE WAS VERY ROUGH, EVEN WITH THE AC OFF. THE TICKING NOISE WAS STILL PRESENT, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD TO THE TOUCH. *JB

SINCE APROX 500 MILES I HAVE NOTICED A VERY CONSISTENT KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE REAR WHEEL AREA. FORD DEALER LOOKED AND HAS SAID ITS A NORMAL OPERATING NOISE FOR THE CAR PER FOR ENGINEERS. I DO NOT AGREE. ITS A KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK AT LOW, PARKING LOT SPEEDS AND CAN BE HEARD DRIVING STRAIGHT OR A LITTLE EASIER TO HEAR WHEN TURNING. THIS IS A NEW CAR THAT HAS NOT BEEN RACED, ABUSED OR MODIFIED AT ALL AND ITS COMPLETELY WRONG FOR THEM TO SAY THIS NOISE IS NORMAL. *TR

11/18/2014

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD MUSTANG. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AT APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH, A FUEL ODOR EMITTED FROM THE AIR VENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE.

ON 8/18/16, I WAS DRIVING ON MARYLAND STATE ROUTE 198, AT ABOUT 40 MPH, WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO LURCH FORWARD, STOP, LURCH FORWARD AS I CAME THROUGH A ROUNDABOUT. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, RESTARTED THE CAR, AND WHILE ON THE SHOULDER, I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, AND AGAIN THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD TWICE AND THEN STOPPED. WRENCH LIGHT WAS LIT UP ON DASHBOARD (IT WASN'T LIT MOMENTS BEFORE) AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE MANUAL IT SAID THE CAR HAD DEFAULTED TO "LIMP TO HOME" AND I SHOULD SEE THE DEALER. I WAS MORE THAN 40 MILES FROM HOME AND CALLED AAA. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED 10 MINUTES LATER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING 55 MPH ON INTERSTATE 295 S AND WOULD HAVE BEEN IN DANGER BECAUSE THAT ROAD HAS NO SHOULDER. THIS CAR BEHAVIOR MIMICKED WHAT I EXPERIENCED OCT. 6, 2015 (LURCHING, DASHBOARD LIGHTS LOOKING LIKE A DISCO BALL), WHEN THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY (SERVICE DATE OCT. 7, 2015). HOWEVER, THE DEALER IS NOW TELLING ME IT IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH THE CAR SHOWING TFT SENSOR, P0710, P0713 CODE READINGS. THIS IS THE THIRD MAJOR REPAIR. ON 11/23/12, THE DEALER REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AFTER I EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE THANKSGIVING DAY WITH ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS LOOKING LIKE A DISCO BALL AND COULD NOT READ THE SPEEDOMETER TO KNOW HOW FAST I WAS DRIVING WHILE IN BALTIMORE ON INTERSTATE 695. THE CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS ABOUT 61,000 MILES ON IT. I BELIEVE ALL THREE INCIDENTS REPRESENT SAFETY ISSUES. I DID NOT KNOW YOU COULD FILE A COMPLAINT UNTIL I BEGAN RESEARCHING AFTER THIS LATEST INCIDENT, AND SO INCLUDE THE THE OTHER TWO IN THIS REPORT.

8/19/2016

WHILE DRIVING THE MUSTANG (WHICH IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION) I NOTICED THAT THE SPEED OF THE CAR DOESN'T DECELERATE WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR IS GIVEN GAS (MORE THAN AN IDLE AMOUNT) WHEN I DO NOT DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL. IT HAPPENS IN ALL 6 GEARS BUT IT'S MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN IN FIRST OR SECOND. ALSO, WHILE THE CAR IS IN GEAR, THE ENGINE FIGHTS TO SLOW DOWN WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT WHEN IT OCCURS WHILE IN A PARKING LOT WITH PEOPLE AROUND IT BECOMES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

4/8/2014

WHEN DOWNSHIFTING IN THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION VERSION OF THIS VEHICLE, THE CAR DOESN'T SLOW DOWN ON ANY DECLINE AND INSTEAD ACCELERATES (WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL). ALSO, WHILE SLOWING DOWN ON A FLAT ROAD (AT 1,500 TO 1,700RPM) THE CAR ACCELERATES BY ITSELF AND FIGHTS THE BRAKES WHILE IN GEAR. *TR

1/5/2015

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER FAILED TO RETRACT CAUSING THE CONTACT TO STRIKE HER NOSE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT'S NOSE WAS BRUISED, BUT NO MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

2/11/2015

MY 11 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS WAITING IN MY PARKED CAR IN A PARKING LOT FOR ME AND ABSENTMINDEDLY TWISTING ONE OF THE SEAT BELTS AROUND HER WRISTS. THE SEATBELT LOCKED AND AS SHE TRIED TO GET IT TO RELEASE, THE BELT WENT IN FURTHER AND HER HANDS WERE TIGHTLY BOUND TO THE SEAT WHERE THE SHOULDER BELT RETRACTS. SHE WAS UNABLE TO FREE HERSELF AND WAS SCREAMING FOR HELP. SHE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO REACH HER PHONE ON THE FLOOR BY KICKING OFF HER SHOES & THEN USING HER TOE TO TELL "SIRI" TO CALL MOM. WHEN I GOT OUTSIDE, I COULD NOT FREE HER AND HER HANDS WERE TURNING PURPLE. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CUT THE SEATBELT OFF. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I WOULD EVER HAVE ANTICIPATED. IT WORRIES ME THAT A YOUNGER CHILD COULD PLAY WITH IT AND FALL ASLEEP FOR EXAMPLE, AND THE PARENTS MAY NOT REALIZE UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE.

10/7/2016

AFTER MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC, THE CAR'S ADVANCETRAC LIGHT FLASHED AT ABOUT 40MPH AND THE CAR BEGAN LOSING POWER AND APPLYING THE BRAKES WITHOUT REASON. THE ADVANCETRAC LIGHT CONTINUED TO FLASH AND THE BRAKES AND THROTTLE CONTINUED TO MODULATE AS IF THE CAR WERE SLIDING ON ICE. THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE AND ONCE IT HAS STARTED WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THE CAR IS STOPPED AND PLACED INTO PARK. I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE WITH THIS ISSUE OCCURRING UNTIL I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER. THIS HAS NOW OCCURRED 4 TIMES IN 23000 MILES. EACH TIME THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. A TURN FROM A START AND MODERATE ACCELERATION AND THE ISSUE BEGINS BETWEEN 30-40MPH AND LASTS UNTIL THE CAR IS STOPPED AND SHIFTED TO PARK.

8/24/2015

DRIVING HE CAR AT ABOUT 40MPH MOSTLY IN TRAFFIC I LOST COMPLETELY THE THROTTLE AND I CAN'T ACCELERATE AND SHOW THE WRENCH LIGHT IN THE CLUSTER. I HAVE TO COMPLETELY STOP PUT THE CAR IN PARK TURN OFF AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND THE CAR WILL WORK AGAIN FOR A FEW HOURS SOME TIME DAYS WITH OUT PROBLEM BUT THIS HAPPEN WITH OUT ANY WARNING. WHEN I GET THE CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP I FOUND THE DTC P2111. I DID A PCM REPROGRAM WITH THE LATEST CALIBRATION FILES FROM THE MOTORCRAFT SERVICE WEB SITE. BUT I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM, Y WONDERING THAT SOME DAY I WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT TO ME AND SOME BODY ELSE. I HOPE SOMEBODY TAKE CONSIDERATION OF THIS PROBLEM IN MY CAR AND A LOT MORE THAT I WAS READING IN THE FORD FORUM. AS I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS KIND OF PROBLEM IN FORD VEHICLES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH *TR
