2014 Ford Mustang

My son was driving to school. He was not speeding or any type of reckless driving. He hit an ice patch. His car spun and flew thru the air. The airbag compartment opened but it was defective. All metal shards came flying out of it causing multiple lacerations. He also lost consciousness from the impact and I was told by hospital ER doctor the airbag was defective and he was suffering from a very serious concussion.

the following problem happened to me a few years ago (twice within a couple of months) and again, 2 days ago. Each time I was standing at a traffic light when all of a sudden it accelerated at full throttle. I practically stood on the brake pedal, but the car was inching forward, as I put the transmission into park. This was not a subtle situation, it was dangerous. The engine went from idle to screaming within 2 seconds. I ruled out the floor mat as it was in the proper position and snapped into the floor. It did not cause any warning lights to come on. in May, I had the oil changed, at which time they suggested that they clean the throttle body, which they did.They never heard of the above problem.

Was driving my vehicle on the freeway traveling about 70 miles per hour when the vehicle suddenly shifted into first gear. I was able to maintain control and the vehicle shifted back to sixth gear. Issue occurred again within 5 minutes of the first incident and then the vehicle went into "Limp Mode". I was able to drive the vehicle home under this condition. Vehicle check engine light turned on and the code P0720, which is the Output Speed Sensor Circuit. This is the same issue that occurred on 2011-2013 F-150 and Mustang vehicles that currently have a recall for this (Safety Recall 19S07). The same transmissions (6R80) are used in both vehicles, as well as the Powertrain Control Modules, but my vehicle's VIN did not fall under this recall. This is a very dangerous issue that could lead to a deadly accident.

On 5-26-22 i took my mustang to Roush Ford in Hillard Oh. They tested and found out that I needed a lead frame connector. Part # Al327627V $ 226.10. I paid in advance for this part as Roush said they would not order unless I paid in advance. Roush stated they would call when part comes in. I made several attempts to get status of part and all they would say is they were still awaiting. On or about 6-20-23 I called again, At this time they stated the dealership had been sold to Valley ford and still no word on part arrival. I have owned several Fords in my life but after awaiting over 1 yr on a part and car I could not safely have my wife drive I decided to trade it in for another vehicle. I then called Valley to ask for them to credit my card in the amount of the part. They told me that the money went with Roush and they could not return my money?? They suggested I call Roush auto group( Honda ). I made the call to service manager and he said that Roush Ford was no longer in business and they could not refund my monies. In my mind Ford was paid the $226.10 and someone should be able to pay me back. I am asking that The Ford Motor co honor the deal by paying me back. Thanks

I currently own a 2014 Mustang GT with a manual transmission and notice my emergency brake release button was cracking. The button is made of cheap plastic and the dealer does not have a replacement release button. They only sell the whole emergency brake, which I feel that Ford should she be responsible of replacing the emergency brake button, since this is a safety issue that you cannot engage the emergency brake or disengage the emergency brake button when parking your vehicle on a hilly driveway or any hill at all. Which I leave in Northern California that is very hill and feel that if my car ever comes disengaged out of 1st gear it would cause serious damages to others, such as crashing into a building or other cars or even a fatality.

2014 FORD MUSTANG Experiencing exact same issues as when car is parked and shifting into the gear intended by the driver. That could cause the vehicle to roll away or move in an "unexpected direction". This is the same issue as the recall issued for other Ford vehicles: (but 2014 Ford Mustang is not listed) 2013-2019 Escape 2013-2018 C-Max 2013-2016 Fusion 2013-2021 Transit Connect 2015-2018 Edge "A damaged or missing bushing may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear, and cause the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction," the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in a statement. "Additionally, the vehicle may roll after the driver selects the 'Park' position. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash or injury." My daughter had several near missed with this safety issue - and when I asked for diagnostics the dealer wanted to charge $ 139.99 plus taxes. The recall needs to be issue to include : 2014 FORD MUSTANG

Ford Corporate told me this would be a free recall service, but when I showed up for my appointment the DGDG dealer attempted to charge me $200 for a diagnostic.

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON DRY PAVEMENT AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES PER HOUR (THE SPEED LIMIT) WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. IMAGINE AN EXCITED DOG WAGGING ITS TAIL AND BODY. THAT WAS MY CAR. A YELLOW LIGHT WAS FLASHING ON AND OFF, BUT I COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT IT WAS UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. THE CAR WAS MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. I IMMEDIATELY STARTED SLOWING THE CAR DOWN. THE BRAKES WERE GRINDING WHEN I DEPRESSED THEM. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO SEE IF I COULD SEE SOMETHING WRONG. I LEFT THE CAR RUNNING. THERE WAS NOTHING VISIBLE. I GOT BACK INTO THE CAR AND DROVE ABOUT A BLOCK AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN SO I PULLED OFF AGAIN, GOT OUT AND LOOKED AGAIN AND SAW NOTHING. I CANNOT REMEMBER IF I SHUT THE CAR OFF OR NOT. I WAS ONLY ABOUT 4 MILES FROM HOME, SO I DECIDED TO AT LEAST TRY TO GET CLOSER TO HOME BEFORE I CALLED SOMEONE FOR HELP. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. I LOOKED IN THE MANUAL TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE LIGHT WAS AND IT WAS THE TRACTION CONTROL. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, IT WAS ACTING NORMAL. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL, IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG, THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON. I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR ABOUT 20-25 MORE MILES SINCE AND IT HAS NOT REOCCURRED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MANY YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR ACT LIKE THIS. I DID SOME SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE MUSTANG DRIVERS THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES WITH YEARS 2011 AND NEWER. I ALSO READ THAT FORD HAS HAD OTHER MODELS RECALLED FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS, BUT NOT MUSTANG. I AM TAKING IT IN TOMORROW TO GET THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL SERVICED.

UNBELIEVABLE! I HAVE DONE LOADS OF RESEARCH, AND HAVE SEEN WAY TOO MANY MUSTANGS OF VARIOUS YEARS AND SPOKE WITH OWNERS AND ALL OF US HAVE SAME EXACT ISSUE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS AND ALL FORD SAYS IS "IT HAPPENS". THIS IS NOT A COMFORT ISSUE BUT A SERIOUS CONDITION THAT CAN GET SOMEONE KILLED IF THEY NEED THEIR FOGGER. CAN YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS I HAVE PUT UP A WEBSITE AND AM BEGINNING TO COLLECT SIGNATURES FOR PROOF. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING MINOR WITH SO MANY VEHICLES WITH EXACT SAME ISSUES. ALL WE ASK IS THAT YOU CONTACT MUSTANG OWNERS AND INVESTIGATE. ALL COMPLAINTS INVOLVE FOLLOWING REPAIRS, LEAKING ANTIFREEZE AND FOGGING ON WINDSHIELD, REPAIRING COMPRESSORS, EVAPORATORS, SEALS, ETC.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR THREE MONTHS TO GET MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP (FREEDOM FORD OF MORGANTOWN) TO COOPERATE WITH ME TO GET THIS SAFETY RECALL DONE. IT'S APPARENT THEY WOULD RATHER MAKE MONEY INSTEAD OF FIXING RECALLS. MY VEHICLE DOES NOT SEE RAIN OR SNOW.
