1 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 06/19/2024

This is about a recall on my sisters Mustang. Today, 6/19/24, we brought it into a Ford dealership, and they replaced the wiring harness for the backup camera, however, the issue is not resolved. We still cannot use the backup camera at all. According to the recall, the actual camera was updated in January 2015, so they cannot replace it because our Mustang is a 2017 model (only wiring harness are covered under recall after that production date). This is not acceptable, as we still have have this issue. This is not a coincidence that the same part went out as the recall in earlier models, but is not covered because it was “updated”. Please investigate this, as we are not the only ones suffering this issue. The recall number is 22s06.

2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 04/11/2023

The 2015-17 all have the same issue with the ac system as a whole, it is very faulty and not safe. This is due to a manufacturing defect. The ac constantly blows hot air even when on cold and only on to the windshield which causes visibility issues which could be fatal for me or anyone on the road. I went to Ford yesterday to ask about the issue which I was told “we only have one person today that can look at it” and was later told that he wouldn’t take a look, without any reasoning. I had to go to a different company to get my car diagnosed. As I stated before this is a occurring issue with the year make and model of my vehicle.

3 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 01/07/2022

I have a 2017 Ford Mustang eco-boost which has a faulty rear view camera. The camera glitches with distorted image with moving horizontal lines. For this exact same issue Ford issued a manufacturer recall number22s06/22v082, but with a catch. In the recall report they mentioned that camera replacement will apply only for 2015 models. But this issue exists in 2017 models as well and Ford need to consider to recall those as well.

4 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 01/04/2021

Vehicle's back up camera was only working intermittently, then stopped working all together. Error code (per dealership, c1001 I think but may be incorrect code) indicates a problem with the wiring that connects the camera to the center console.

5 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2020

I was traveling down the highway at approximately 60mph when the hood of the car flew up (came unlocked) it came into the driver's side windshield. The right side of the hood broke loose from the car and the hood wrapped around the drivers door making it impossible to exit the vehicle. There is a hood latch problem. I was able to exit the car through the passenger side.

6 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2019

Rear view camera intermittently displays blank or distorted image.

7 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2017

The rear view camera sometimes works and sometimes does not. When backing up, the camera screen goes black.
