general problems of the 2016 Ford Mustang

The steering wheel over time is very loose and in my case I need to be very careful with it because I feel I am losing control on my car while driving. You can feel the steering wheel moving up and down without little to know force also while driving. I don't even drive that fast since my way to work is always in a school zones.

The steering wheel has a very distinct wobble. It moves in every direction as if the locking bolt is loose.

It started to squeak.

2016 Ford Mustang v6 this is extremely concerning as it's a safety issue losing power features while the vehicle is in motion. While driving the car provides an error message with a wrench sign/icon stating the transmission is not in park, then it proceeds to shut down the car leaving us without power steering. The car need stopped, move the transmission to park, and start the engine. Doing this clears the warning and you are able to drive the car without any problem. The two incidents occurrences were about 1 or 2 months apart. . Read more...

The steering in my 2016 Ford Mustang eco boost would bind at the 11 o'clock position and would take much force to return to the 12 o'clock position. This happened while driving and while sitting still. I returned the car to Ford for service, who told me I have a defective "steering gear" and replace the steering gear for $3,000. 00.

I just bought a 2016 Mustang gt from a local dealership. Since then I've had my car in their shop 5 times for a intermetint extreme pull to left. I have made several attempts to have this taken care of now it is getting to the point where I am having to research possible issues and tell their mechanics. This is the 3rd car I've been through in 2 months with this same issue a 2013 Mustang gt and a 2015 Mustang gt now my newest 2016 gt as they are getting to the point of tired of me and basically telling me it's time to deal with Ford and figure out this issue and report back to them. I'm really starting g to lose faith in these vehicles.

Vehicle shut down 2 times, once in traffic, did restart, seemingly because of low system voltage caused by a parasitic draw on the battery which has been present since new. Multiple dtc's in history which I can supply, Ford of course knows nothing, but I have seen many complaints on web pages about s550 battery draw.

Have had issues that the car drifts to the right across lanes under any amounts of acceleration or speeds. One tire had gone completely warn over the course of several months while the problem was most noticeable. After new tires were put on the problem switched itself to steering to the left instead. The suspension and steering components were inspected as well as tire alignment. No mechanical issues have been found. To justify the cars behavior I was instead falsely accused of mishandling the car on numerous occasions and provided paperwork that claimed it was normal for Fords with electronic power steering (epas/pdc) to drift around the road on their own and that it was not a safety concern. This is one of four complaints with this car that have not been resolved.

I was driving my 2016 Mustang gt base model down a straight road with the traction control "on" and the car randomly locked all of the wheels and turned sideways into oncoming traffic and only stopping when I hit a curb. While sliding there was no throttle or brake control because the traction system locked all four wheels. I went to the Ford dealer previous to this instance to complain that the front suspension was noisy and the vehicle was hard to control on certain road surfaces and it felt very unsafe. After giving them this information they scheduled me for an appointment a week later and let me drive off. Subsequent to say, the vehicle totally lost control 3 days before the appointment. Road surface was dry, it was sunny 94 degrees and I was traveling at 40mph on a straight road and my vehicle has 26k miles. The noise and control issue was miniscule but existent on the vehicle at 14k miles and only kept getting worse. I notified the dealer of the possibility of a safety issue because of the circumstances and they were very defensive and more concerned about charging me for the damages that resulted from the vehicle malfunction. I requested that the computer logs be preserved and sent to Ford as it may be a safety issue and I was told that they would charge me extra for that and that it would be quite expensive as to discourage me from reporting it. I retained a printout of my initial complaint that was documented at the dealer upon my initial visit. Vehicle is currently under factory warranty and is being diagnosed for the front suspension noise issue.

While driving in forward and backing up vehicle complete loss of electric power steering. Including warning cel for service advanctrac, hill assist n/a and traction control. This has occurred on multiple occasions and has been take to dealership multiple times. The loss of power steering is extremely dangerous and almost impossible to control vehicle. 3 times on city streets while turning and 4 times on driveway.
