What owners report
While driving my 2015 Ford Mustang at low speed on a city road, I attempted to activate the hazard warning lights. Because the engine Start/Stop button is located close to the hazard light controls, I accidentally pressed the ignition button instead. I pressed the button only briefly, without holding it down or pressing it multiple times. The engine immediately shut off while the vehicle was still moving. This presents a serious safety concern because an inadvertent, momentary button press can disable the engine during normal driving, potentially reducing steering and braking assistance and increasing the risk of a collision. I believe the placement of the ignition button and the system's
Safety Recall 22S06 â Incomplete/Failed Recall Repair and Refusal of Coverage Under Ford Recall 22S06, my vehicle was brought to an authorized Ford dealership approximately 3 years ago to address the known rear-view camera harness chafing defect. Rather than replacing the damaged component, the dealership performed a temporary patch repair by wrapping the chafed decklid wiring harness in electrical tape. âThis temporary repair has now completely failed. The rear-view camera screen displays a blank black screen or "Camera Unavailable" warning while the vehicle is in reverse, eliminating all rear visual awareness and recreating the precise safety hazard targeted by Recall 22S06. âI conta
While making a slow turn I heard a popping noise then the steering locked up completely. I shit the car off and started it again to regain steering and get the car home. I used FORSCAn to retrieve codes U0401 and U0415 for the PSCM, both codes have same time frame. This indicates the PSCM lost communication with multiple modules at the same time during a low-speed turn, resulting in loss of power steering assist / steering lock. This is a safety issue as described in Ford Recall 19S26, but my VIN does not show this recall as applicable. Vehicle has not been repaired. Codes have not been cleared and are available for inspection.
Clutch assembly failed, the metal bracket weld cracked/failed resulting in the clutch pedal being inoperable. It's not available for inspection since I had it replaced and the defective assembly disposed of. My safety was at risk since I had extreme difficulty shifting gears on the road. The issue was confirmed at an independent service center - AAMCO of Huntsville, AL. No other entity inspected the part. The vehicle gave me no warning or indication of a problem other than the difficulty with starting and operating it.
I am filing a formal safety complaint regarding a catastrophic Electronic Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) failure and severe electrical short circuit on my 2015 Ford Mustang. This vehicle is exhibiting hard fault code B137F:09 (Steering Wheel Left Switch Pack: Component Failure / Short to Ground or Open). This electronic failure creates an immediate, severe safety hazard that goes entirely outside the scope of normal vehicle wear and tear. While driving, the vehicle's steering wheel pulls and jerks violently on its own, actively fighting my manual steering inputs. Furthermore, this internal electronic short creates a massive parasitic electrical draw that prevents the vehicle's computer modul
