general problems of the 2015 Ford Mustang - part 2

My 2015 Mustang gt is experiencing issues with the rearview camera. Sometime it is working, sometimes it is not. I have seen that many Mustang f/2015 t/2020 have experienced the same problem.

The rearview camera will intermittently display a blank or distorted image. When placing the car in reverse the camera will intermittently display a blank screen or distorted image while reversing the vehicle. This reduces the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. This happens when both stationary and in motion. This is the same issue that my 2020 Ford Mustang gt VIN [xxx] has just received a recall notice for. The camera began to fail the summer of 2020. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Water has leaked into the cabin of the car from the passenger side window. The leak appears to have come from the corner of the window seal and made it's way into the cabin and creating a stand pool of water. Water pooled on the rear floor and made it's way up to the front of the passenger side. The vehicle sat over the weekend from 11/26/2019 to 11/31/2019. I was not with the vehicle during this time. I locked the doors and rolled up the windows knowing rain was in the forecast. The vehicle sat at my place of residence during said weekend.

Paint bubble on hood, replaced 3 right window motors, low pressure fuel switch, little plastic button on brake lever deteriorates cause brake lights to stay on causing car not to accelerate properly. Car only has 39000 miles on it!! window motor, pressure switch and brake lever cost $2000. 00 to repair. Really upsetting spend over $30000. 00 for a automobile than within 39000 miles and I need to spend this kind of money.

I was like I was dreaming when after I was woke up in the hospital and there was a lot of time missing you know I can remember at the every little thing I was missing a lot of time before we went out and the wreck you know right after a couple of days of being conscious and never should have wrecked you know and it just it just let nothing making no sense and then it all come clear I was knocked out before the wreck an example of a how I don't know why I don't know all I know is I was knocked out a couple of thousands of a second before the red cuz I missed you too much of it.

The a/c system stopped working. Dealership diagnosed as evaporator core is leaking, thats why no cold air due to freon leaking. Ford is not paying for this common problem, faulty evaporator core Mustang 2015-2016.

Low refrigerant in 4-year-old car. Known evaporator issue. Only TSB, not recall. Occurs at all times (during idle and driving).

Evaporator core leak; freon is out; it's too hot it will dehydrate driver and passenger.

Reporting a systemic manufactured fire condition. Right side exhaust [passenger side front] behind wheel well. . Exhaust is too close to the wiring a/c schrader port causing melting heat damage to wiring fender liner and port cap. On this vehicle the fender liner has a hole burnt into it as well the schrader cap is melted. This is a documented condition on the internet with actual fires on film. As well Ford sent out a letter to approx 1300 owners about this exact problem in australia [ source sunshinecoast news article]. No action has been taken in us. This came to my attention during a routine tire change on 4-25-2019. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request by either ntsb or Ford reps. The recommended repair might be some sort of heat shield reflector or other ideas? it is a serious problem I am advising of for major safety reasons. The vehicle was stationary at a repair shop when the problem was noticed.

At 42000 miles a/c started blowing warm air. I have read hundreds of complaints involving the same thing.

We were stopped in fast lane in freeway traffic, car in center lane hit back passenger side, pushing us into tahoe in front of us. Driver that hit us was going 30-35 mph on impact. Only the drivers leg airbag went off, passenger airbag popped cover off on right side and got stuck so did not deploy. Drivers front steering wheel airbag did not deploy. Driver injured with severe bruising. Back windshield shattered in tiny pieces across entire inside of car. I have confirmed this car did not have any airbag recalls associated with it.

2015 Ford Mustang gt premium performance pack 31,000 miles. Took a short 20 minute non aggressive drive, started hearing a loud whining noise, which sounded like it was coming from the transmission. Took it to Ford for them to tell me what the ac compressor is the cause of the whine and needs replacement as well as the ac evaporator. They want to charge me $3,300 for this replacement. After hours of research I found numerous examples of people in the same boat as me. Having the same problem with their cars being less than a year old or below 10k milage even. The average mileage this problem occurs was at roughly 28,000 miles. Most were able to get it fixed free of charge under warranty. However there is an extremely large portion of people who have experienced this issue literally within a few weeks/months outside of warranty and Ford expecting them to pay over $3,000 to repair. Also safety concerns is that freon could leak into cabin passing over ac coils. Ford recognizes this issue with people who are under warranty and replace the broken compressor/evaporator with a newer design/improved version that doesn't have these 'faults' which also comes with new part numbers. So this shows they have noticed a problem and addressed it. However for people without warranty or just expired warranty they are stating that there has been no issue recognized or recall for these parts therefore it is on the customer to pay to replace the manufacture defected item at their own cost. After speaking with Ford they said due to it not affecting the users safety they are not recalling the parts regardless everyone is having the same issue. Please please please escalate this further as Ford is currently walking over their customers and making them pay for their defects that everyone is experiencing, if they are out of warranty, regardless of extremely low mileage cars.

Today I was driving my 2015 Ford Mustang when suddenly the car began to lose speed. The car was slowing down and wouldn't let me accelerate. Eventually while wanting to check if my car was okay I tried to make a left turn into a parking lot and the car engine shut off but the lights and everything were still on. I had to wait awhile and eventually I was able to turn the car back on and safely move into a walmart parking lot.

Back up camera(a safety device) no longer functions when car is in reverse. The camera stopped working shortly after the warranty period had expired.

Sync 2 my Ford touch - Ford is no longer supporting this technology in my car. I can not use the navigation feature nor get a vehicle health report which would alert me to mechanical problems my car may have.

The a/c system shut down while traveling on an interstate and only blew hot air. The entire a/c system and its components had to be replaced and the vehicle was only two years old. A leak was found under the vehicle as it was parked in a driveway. Upon further inspection, the leak was traced back to the master brake cylinder and brake booster. The master cylinder had to be replaced when the vehicle was only three years old.

With less than 21,000 miles on the vehicle air cooling was lost on the driver's side. A Ford dealership diagnosed the problem to be a leak in the evaporator reqiring replacement of the evaporator. There are others I have noted on line to have the same problem.

After researching many forums a lot of Mustang owners, ranging from 2010-2017, report a problem with their trunks not opening due to a wire that corrodes and doesn't allow the trunk to open. That should be a problem that the manufacturer is selling a faulty wire to consumers. This cost is $150, just to diagnose the issue which I believe is unfair. The trunk won't open unless I go into the trunk from the inside of it and unlatch it through the emergency exit. I hope this program can do its research and see that I am not the only Mustang owner that has this issue. I hope to make a difference and have Ford absorb the cost and fix this issue for older and newer Mustangs by not selling faulty parts and accessories.

Car smoking at idling and driving white smoke. Known issue or recall and my car is experiencing this issue but is not showing up for my VIN. Smoking so much it is getting inside my cabin making it hard to breath.

The evaporator is broken and leaking causing a foul odor in my car. I've looked online and noticed that alot of other people are experiencing the same issue. I went to the Ford dealership to get it fixed, and I was quoted $2459. 64. If this is an ongoing issue for people, it should be put out as a recall instead of having people pay $2500 for defective parts.

"takata recall" driver trunk liner brittle to recall recall #15s19 underbody temperatures.

Car engine shut off completely while disengaging the clutch coming to a stop on busy roads with my child in the car.

Ford Mustang 2015 is not supposed to have a trunk that does not protect inside because no edge to edge support. My trunk edge on the driver's side or when facing the trunk (left side) is so malaligned as to make me think either the car is twerked or the frame is. . . . This creates unstable driving conditions. Ford replaced my original trunk with there version of a fitted trunk.

Undercarriage of vehicle getting very hot. You can feel heat coming up off the floor boards in the vehicle. If you place a purse on the floor gets hot on the bottom of purse can feel heat on your feet also bottom of shoes get hot. Every since I bought the care. I told Ford about it and the dealer ship and got the response that my vehicle and was not one of the ones listed in the voluntary recall for this problem. However since I noticed the problem and it caused me to look it up and I found the following: there has been a voluntary recall only to place new fuel tank shield , new thermal wrapping in the fuel vapor lines and new thermal wrapping on the parking brake cable. The dealership response was still the same. I feel as a customer I should be right and they should to the recall replacements. If I did not feel the heat coming off of the floor boards I would not have known there was a voluntary recall for it in the first place. What should I do?.

Loud thud when shifting, grinding during shifting of all gears, intermittent high rpm lockout. Ford claims its "normal".

Was driving down the road only a mile from my house. Slowed down for a red light and the engine stalled out. I had to pull over to restart the vehicle. Vehicle started back up fine. I thought maybe I stalled it since there was no cel and it started right back up. However the exact same thing happened 3 days later, the same distance from my house. This time I knew I did not stall it. It is currently at the dealership now. They explained they would have great difficulty replicating the issue since it didn't throw any codes. This is a serious safety issue for a brand new car with only 10,000 miles.

Car is experiencing a vibration problem at 65 to 75 mph, in 6 gear, and engine is at 1750 rpm. Vibration is duplicated again, in 5th gear, and engine is at 2500 rpm. Also, with car in the stop position, car in neutral, with clutch in or out, slowly revving the engine vibration occurs at 1500 to 1750 rpms. Also if you quickly rev the engine to 2500 rpm and drop revs slowly vibration reoccurs at 1750 to 1500 rpm. This problem has been present with initial purchase of vehicle, dealership said it was tires and drive it for awhile. The car has since been in the dealership 5 times, replaced all 4 tires, force road balanced 3 times, and has been to second Ford dealership for confirming vibration problem. Second dealership also had another new Mustang experiencing same vibration and could not be fixed. Ford motor company has declared the vibration problem is within specs for Mustangs and has declared it "normal operating characteristics" for Mustangs. At this point my case with Ford has been closed. If this vibration problem is occurring in 40 percent of Mustangs as a prior complaint has stated then Ford motors need to address it and not ignore it.

I was on the interstate traveling south with cruise ontrol on. I went over a bump that I usually go over when headed in that direction and the driver door all of a sudden opened/unlocked itself. It was locked or else the dashboard would of indicated that my transmission was not in park before setting off on my trip.

First occurrence (mid December 2014): I was coming up to a red light and the turn was slightly uphill. I approach the light and drop the car into neutral (clutch was fully engaged continuously at this point) and while braking, as I approached the red light to make a right turn my car's rpms just drop completely to 0. It didn't even try to catch idle. This was about 1. 5 months ago. I figured that it might be something with the tune I'm running so I called up bama and had them send me a fresh tune after explaining what had happened. Also, not sure if this helps or is relevant information but I had been driving on the highway for about 40 min before that and did a pull on the highway 2 min before the car died. Second occurrence (2/25/2015): today while driving to work in the morning I was switching lanes and as I merged into the lane I engage the clutch fully and was braking to adjust to the speed of the vehicle in front of me and was preparing to downshift into gear, but before I could downshift the rpms keep dropping and go past normal idle and drop to 0 again without even trying to catch idle again. So I quickly start it back up again and it drove fine after that. This can become a safety issue if not taken seriously. More and more Mustang owners are experiencing this problem and I had to switch dealerships because the dealership where I bought the car from refuses to work on my car since it is lowered. Ford racing offers lowering springs for the vehicle which is a Ford part. If someone was to have these springs installed and the car was lowered with Ford parts does that mean the dealership will refuse to work on it if it doesn't fit on their lifts then as well? I have reported other issues as well which Ford has claimed to be normal just because it is occurring on other vehicles as well. The csm at Ford motor company has been a huge help so thank you for that.

Purchased brand new Ford Mustang gt premium 5. 0 automatic from local Ford dealer. On first test drive, did not notice problem. Car sat a few days prior to me leaving for an approximate 750 mile return drive home from va to TN. I had the car heater on - the heater seats on - no modifications done to the car - 2 days later out on road noticed a "strong odor" ( more specifically like "model airplane glue odor ). I was getting dizzy, sleepy, and very nauseated. Pulled over rested. Drove car with windows down, heater on as it was cold. Odor persisted and "sick feeling" continued entire drive home. Coordinating with Ford service center and bbbautoline - took the car in for sub total of 5 visits to have odor evaluated. 6th visit with "expert Ford" field tech with some sort of "device" to measure smells ( I assume ) - when I went to pick up the car - I asked for work order and a copy of expert's report. Wrote to sales manager requesting these reports. I have been denied access to these reports (kind of odd? 6th visit and only now they refuse to issue?) bbbautoline has now made date for arbitration. Told to bring car in for evaluation by aribitrator - have supporting documents as to why. Numerous articles addressing toxic odors - multiple sensitivity disorder. S I'm not a scientist or an engineer. Just a 61 yr old man wanting to enjoy his $44k Mustang - can't have to drive with windows down and heater full up, still feel light headed and nausea. Any suggestions appreciated.
