Equipment problem #1

2013 Mustang v6, 6r80 automatic transmission. Lead frame is failing, I am getting code p0720. My VIN falls outside of the recall, so I have to spend $850 to get lead frame fixed. Airbag light turns on, dashes through my odometer, and car stays stuck in 5th gear until I cycle key.

Equipment problem #2

The failed transmission lead frame is causing the car to shift to first gear unexpectedly which can lead to a crash.

Equipment problem #3

Was going 25mph on a straight dry road, 2 traction control lights popped up and an alert saying advancetrac is off, which is a feature you have to be in park with your foot on the brake and hold the traction control button for 8 seconds to turn off, when the light turned on the car downshift and turned sideways causing me to go into a barrier, steering wheel airbag and passenger airbag both only broke out of the trim and did not inflate fully.

Equipment problem #4

My car shakes and after awhile of braking , it cuts off and when I get gas it doesn’t want to start.

Equipment problem #5

My 2013 Ford Mustang 2dr coupe is stalling losing power and engine is completely shutting down while I'm driving on the highway which could cause a fatal crash. The engine light and oil light comes on after this happens but the oil light eventually goes off. This recall is on several vehicles but not mine. The dealership has a week of waiting to take my car in. So in the meantime I have to put myself at risk and continue to drive my car. Something needs to change as to notifying use car owners of recalls.

Equipment problem #6

While driving my vehicle on the freeway at a speed of 60 miles an hour my vehicle seemed to downshift into first gear. This nearly caused me to crash. In addition, those driving behind me almost rear-ended me.

Equipment problem #7

I bought a used 2013 v6 Ford Mustang used in August 2019. Almost since the begining I've had a problem with it stalling out. The engine itself doesn't stop running but the car loses acceleration and it does not accelerate when the gas is pressed. This has mostly happened when the car is in motion but has also happened when not moving. It has happened mostly while on city streets. This has today I had a problem with this and the check engine light came on. I put a code reader on the port and received the code "p2111 throttle actuator control system stuck open. " I believe this is the same problem that was alleged with the 2005-2012 Ford escape vehicle. . Read more...

Equipment problem #8

My 2013 Ford Mustang feels as if it drops into 1st gear while at a speed of 40 to 60 mph feels as if the car brakes on its own rpms will go up but speedometer will be on 0 mph. I think the f 150 is having a similar problem and my Mustang does have the v6 automatic transmission.

Equipment problem #9

Under medium to hard acceleration exhaust fumes enter the cabin, possible exhaust defect in exhaust manifold, smells like raw fumes not passed thru catalytic converter. Widows are closed during acceleration. Usually when accelerating onto highway etc. It does this every time I drive it. Not an occasional thing always.

Equipment problem #10

For 5 months our 2013 Ford Mustang has been shutting off in traffic. The car was taken back to the dealer five times and not fixed yet. The mechanic put the car on the computer and error code p2111 shows up, but when taken back to dealer they cleared the code and said nothing was wrong.

Equipment problem #11

No acceleration possible. Fuel cut out. Pulled over car shook. Turned off. Back on 15 minutes later. Happened 5 more times in heavy traffic. Dealership said tgey fixed it, but problem persists. Same code: check fuel fill inlet. Car only 3 years old. What a joke. No more Fords for me and the Ford motor company has been terrible!.

Equipment problem #12

When I took my key out last night the ignition switch came out also.
