general problems of the 2014 Ford Mustang

Power steering assist stopped working, shutting my traction and advanced traction control off.

When I was on my way back home from work my car started to shake and then the power steering fault came up on my dash. So I had no power steering and when that went out I was going about 60 and I almost wrecked my car because of it.

Takara recall my daughter was driving on a city street and all of a sudden front and side driver side airbags deployed spontaneously and exploded causing her burns and lacerations. Also caused bruising and pain on her shoulder,pain in neck lowerback and ribcage area. This caused her to rear end another vehicle. The battery completely died after and needed to be jump started by tow company. They also couldn't get the trunk to open. I have a claim with Ford and they did ask me at my cost to deliver car to dealership so they could retrieve the rcm but my insurance will not allow the vehicle to be removed. I did contact my product claim rep and now I am being completely ignored. This is a very dangerous defect that needs to be investigated. Thank you.

While driving on a highway or city street I have my seat warmer on in my drivers seat after a short period, the back of my seat gets so hot that I can't lean against it. It got so hot that it burnt the middle of my seat. The burn mark is about the size of a dime. I have heard that some cadilacs have caught fire due to seat warmers. .

Tamara recall, the traction light come on and off the power steering failure light come on and makes a screeching noise, and the power steering gets extremely stiff in turns like it's about to lock up. The car only has 44,000 miles. All this happened while on a city street when turning. It's the electric power steering/ rack and pinion. There are a lot of post on youtube as well.

Takata recall - we have received numerous letters, postcard and emails about the airbag recall and we have tried, unsuccessfully numerous times to set up a date and time for the airbag replacement with our dealership. I have called the dealership and spoke to several people telling the issues repeatedly to each person I spoke to. I was transferred to the service manager I was told whom did not answer and I left a very detailed message regarding the reason for my call, the specifics of the car and multiple ways to contact myself or my fiance. I have had to call several more times die to not receiving any return call from anyone at the dealership for over a month. I have looked to see if I could schedule and appointment online and they do not have that option available. Therefore I have had to take time away from other obligations to go to the dealership to complain to attempt to have this remedied. Initially they were receptive and now four days later they have reverted back to failing to return my phone calls. I have also been experiencing issues with corrosion on the battery and the battery wire cables since I purchased the car. Despite making the dealership aware of this they have failed to take any steps to even determine the issue. Additionally, my security system on my car was apparently bypassed by thieves and I have talked to the top boss of this dealership and he has informed me that the security system is in fact disabled and that without them running a diagnostics test on the car they cannot determine to what extent the security system is damaged, if it is reparable, or if there may be more significant damage to the computer / electrical system. My security system has been non-functional for a month at this point and I cannot get the dealership to simply return my call to remedy this.

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.

This is the second time this has happened. Upon starting the car, the motor revs uncontrolled to about 7000 rpms. I have to turn ignition off to stop the motor from damaging its self. If my foot was to ever slip off the clutch, we would race uncontrolled in reverse! the car is always parked and started while in reverse. Almost afraid to start this car.

2014 Ford Mustang. Consumer writes in regards to engine problems. 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.
