• 12/14/2018· POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-35 IN THE ARBUCKLE MOUNTAINS IN OKLAHOMA GOING 70MPH WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR. IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE BEING APPLIED FORCEFULLY AND THEN THE CAR RETURNED TO DRIVING NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ON THE SHOULDER AS I HAD ALMOST GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT THE FIRST TIME IT DID IT. DURING THIS TIME THE CAR WAS IN THE DRIVE SELECTOR AND WHEN THE PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN THE CAR WOULD SHOW IT HAD ENTERED SPORT MODE AND THEN THE DOWNSHIFTING WOULD OCCUR. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WITHOUT WARNING AND SUDDENLY, WITHOUT ANY INPUT FROM ME. THIS TERRIFIED ME AS I WAS GOING AT SUCH A HIGH SPEED AND IT WAS SPRINKLING OUT AND A CAR WAS FOLLOWING CLOSELY BEHIND ME. LUCKILY I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A NEARBY FORD DEALERSHIP TO BE LOOKED AT AND ARE AWAITING THE RESULTS. AS I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM LATER THAT NIGHT I FOUND THAT MANY FORD 2011-2012 VEHICLES HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. MINE IS A 2013 MODEL AND WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, THEREFORE I WAS UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE.

I FIRST TRIED TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OFF AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN HAWAII, BACK IN EARLY 2015. THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE STILL WAITING FOR THE PART. I HAVE SINCE BEEN STATIONED IN SOUTH CAROLINA SO I TRIED THE FORD DEALERSHIP HERE, ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. THEY GAVE ME THE SAME RESPONSE.

WE THEN LOOKED UP TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PART AND FOUND A RECALL FROM FORD FOR THE 2012 MUSTANG WITH THE 6R80 WHICH IS THE SAME AUTO TRANSMISSION THAT I HAVE. THE CUT OFF BUILD DATE FOR THE RECALL WAS FEBRUARY 2012 AND MY VEHICLE WAS MADE IN AUGUST OF 2012. I ALSO READ OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR AND TRANSMISSION THAT I HAVE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS ME. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TO SEE IF I THEY WOULD EXTEND THE RECALL TO COVER 2013 MUSTANGS THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT.

AN INSTANCE HERE RECENTLY WAS I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF THE COMPANY I WORK AT AND THE CAR STARTED OFF FINE THEN STALLED AND DIDN'T WANT TO GO AND ALMOST GOT T BONED.

• 11/26/2013· TIRES,WHEELS

  2013-14 FORD MUSTANG SHELBY GT500S ARE SHIPPED WITH STOCK GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 SUPERCAR G:2 TIRES WHICH, ACCORDING TO A GOODYEAR PRODUCT SERVICE BULLETIN FROM MARCH 28, 2011 ARE KNOWN TO CRACK IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 40F. THE CRACKS APPEAR IN THE SIDEWALLS/TREAD AND CAN CAUSE THE TIRE TO SEPARATE WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING A CRASH AND SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH. I CALLED FORD TODAY WHEN I NOTICED THAT AT LEAST ONE OF MY REAR TIRES HAD DEVELOPED A CRACK (ITS IN THE 40S OUTSIDE TODAY; WAS HIGH 30S OVERNIGHT - THOUGH MY CAR IS STORED INSIDE IN A 2 CAR GARAGE, AND THEREFORE WARMER). FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE ADVISED THEY WERE POWERLESS TO DO ANYTHING AND I NEEDED TO CONTACT GOODYEAR DIRECTLY. GOODYEAR IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE (THEY ISSUED THE PSB AFTER ALL), AND ARE WILLING TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE TIRES (ON A PRORATED BASIS) - BUT THEY CONTINUE TO SELL THE TIRE!. FORD HAS WASHED THEIR HANDS OF THE ISSUE COMPLETELY AND REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE - STATING THEY'RE NOT AWARE OF GOODYEAR'S PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE PSB (HEARD FROM BOTH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND LOCAL FORD DEALER). MANY, MANY OWNERS OF THESE CARS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE CRACKS AND REPLACED TIRES AT THEIR OWN COST (USUALLY SWITCHING TO ANOTHER BRAND). FORD NEEDS TO STOP SELLING CARS WITH THESE TIRES AND GOODYEAR NEED TO STOP PUTTING LIFE-THREATENING PRODUCT ON THE MARKET. I'M AWARE OF AT LEAST 1 INCIDENT OF A TIRE BLOWING MID-DRIVE RESULTING IN A 13/14 GT500 BEING TOTALED, AND AM HAPPY TO POINT THE NHTSA TO COUNTLESS THREADS ON ENTHUSIAST FORUM DETAILING THE ISSUE WITH PICTURES.

  Randomly while driving there is the engine revs up but car does not go any faster, no reponse from the throttle, no pwower. It slams down into lower gear, at one time the rear wheels screeched. My wife was driving this time, we were in traffic and was almost rear ended. She will no longer drive the car. Sometimes the wrench light would come on when it was slamming into a different gear then go away after shutting the engine off. I had someone check for codes but none were found. On 1 occasion I took a video on my phone while driving at asready throttle and the speedometer was all over the place, up at 40 down to 20 up then down to 0. I had the spark plugs, pcv, evap purge valve, throttle body replaced and it is not fixed. the car has 49K miles. We have owned this car since new. It happens more often now but I cannot replicate it on demand.

• 11/09/2015· AIR BAGS

  MY CAR IS PART OF THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL. THE RECALL DATE WAS IN MAY OF 2015. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD IN JULY CONFIRMING THAT MY CAR WAS PART OF THE RECALL. I WAITED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AND THEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ASKING IF THEY KNEW WHEN THE PART WOULD BE IN TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE BUT THEY WOULD CALL ME AS SOON AS IT WAS IN. I CALLED THE NATIONAL FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND THEY INFORMED ME IT WOULD BE AT LEAST APRIL OF 2016 BEFORE THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I DON'T THINK IT'S ACCEPTABLE TO WAIT ALMOST ONE YEAR TO REPLACE AIRBAGS THAT HAVE BEEN LINKED TO SERIOUS INJURIES AND DEATHS. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A HIGH DEMAND FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS BUT THEY COULD HAVE WENT WITH ANOTHER COMPANY TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART. I AM CONCERNED WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR NOW THAT IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN I MIGHT BE INJURED BY THE AIRBAG THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT ME.

  ON FEBRUARY 24, 2013, I WAS INVOLVED IN A "FENDER BENDER" IN MY BRAND NEW 2013 FORD MUSTANG WHERE I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. ALTHOUGH THE COLLISION WAS MINOR, AND THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END WAS MINIMAL, THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT AND SIDE PANEL AIRBAGS BOTH DEPLOYED. THE FRONT AIR BAG SEVERELY BURNED ME WHEN IT EXPLODED OUT UPON IMPACT. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE BURNS THAT I HAVE SUFFERED AS THE RESULT OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, AS WELL AS THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR. BASED UPON THE SEVERITY OF THE BURNS THAT I HAVE SUFFERED IT IS APPARENT THAT THE AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE. AFTER THE COLLISION, I WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM, AND WHILE BEING TREATED THE DOCTOR INDICATED THAT MY BURNS WERE CHEMICALLY INDUCED, AND WERE NOT ABRASION TYPE BURNS FROM CONTACT WITH THE AIRBAG. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT OTHERS MAY SUFFER THE SAME TYPE OF INJURIES. *TR

  When starting the vehicle when cold, power steering assist fault appears on the gauge cluster. There is no power steering at this point. Once the vehicle is warmed up, and the engine is turned off and restarted, the problem goes away. The problem has been reproduced by an independent service center. The service center inspected the steering components and found no obvious visible fault with the components.

CAR OWNERS EFFECTED BY THIS RECALL ARE ADVISED TO NOT DRIVE UNTIL THE ISSUE IS FIXED AS DRIVERS/PASSENGERS MAY SUFFER CRITICAL INJURIES OR LOSS OF LIFE DUE TO THE SHRAPNEL FROM AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

I CONTACT MY DEALERSHIP EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS AND STILL NOTHING. SUPPOSEDLY THE LAST QUARTER OF THIS YEAR. WELL THAT'S HERE AND STILL NOTHING. IF IT EVEN HAPPENS BEFORE YEAR'S END, THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

  My son was driving and noticed a stiffness in the steering along with an occasional intermittent “ clicking” felt while turning the wheel. While going around a sharp curve the power steering failed completely and locked the steering wheel hard left forcefully. He was able to get it off the road safely and I was following him in another vehicle so I drove it the rest of the way home with no power steering. Online I found that numerous other ford owners over all models 2010-2015 have experienced the same epas failure due to a design flaw. https://youtu.be/szHMXwcp9fo This you tube video is what lead me here. Not only is the video informative of the problem, but in the comments countless others have experienced the same nightmare experience. We have parked the car as the repair can cost $3000, but worse than that if replaced under warranty the new parts fail again within 6 months and are not covered by Ford.
