The contact owns a 2015 Ford Mustang. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 22v082000 (back over prevention). The vehicle was dropped off at the dealer for service and remained at the dealer for two days. The contact was then informed that the mechanic in charge of servicing the recall was out sick; the dealer was uncertain if the recall repair had been serviced prior to the mechanic's absence. The contact chose to take possession of the vehicle, and the recall was removed from the vehicle. Recently, the contact stated that the trunk failed to open manually or with the key fob. The contact decided to tie a string to the emergency truck release, which was inserted through the back seat to open the trunk. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, where the contact was informed that the wiring to the trunk and backup camera were all connected. The contact was informed that the trunk failure could lead to a rear-view camera failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The contact was then referred to the NHTSA hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 118,000.
Backup camera and trunk brake light do not work due to known flaw in trunk wiring harness design. Wires inside the harness break from opening and closing trunk due to compression. Dealership has repaired once while under warranty by cheaply replacing sections of broken wire and crudely wrapping the entire harness with black electrical tape, however more wires have broken in new locations along the harness. This is a known defect with a technical bulletin published by Ford. However the service department refused to acknowledge that this is an issue common with 15-17 Mustangs. Despite clearly explaining what was wrong, they claimed I would have to pay $125 diagnostic fee because they don't know if the wiring might have been chewed by �varmints. �.
The getrag mt-82 transmission locks me out of 2nd gear when im accelerating hardly for ex. Merging on the highway. Also my Mustang is plagued with electrical issues ranging from connecting with bluetooth, inoperable backup camera, tag light wire stripped. Sometimes when I start my vehicle, bluetooth will not connect to my phone for reasons I dont know. Also the backup camera works 10% of the time. Ive read that Fords wiring is being crimped in between the trunk lid. Lastly the rear tag light wires have been stripped/corroded due to poor weather protection.
Wiring to the rear deck gets pinched when trunk opens/closes. Rear camera and trunk release do not work and �trunk ajar� dash notification will not turn off. This is a known design defect by Ford. I have created 2 separate cases with Ford customer care and they refuse to take responsibility for full repairs.
Back up camera repeatedly works intermittently causing me to back up into a post, costing $1200 in damages electrical wires going to trunk lid are incredibly thin and flimsy. This effects the back up camera, trunk release, trunk light, etc. ; all of which have failed at one time or another. Repaired wiring twice but they are so frail, they continue to snap and cause malfunction throughout the car.
