While completing a turn at a t-intersection, the vehicle experienced a complete loss of motive power for several seconds, leaving the car stationary in the path of oncoming traffic. The transmission (10r80) failed to engage, a known symptom of internal cdf drum sleeve failure (TSB 24-2254). This follows a 'green' inspection by a dealer on March 23rd where an axle seal leak and shifting issues were overlooked. The failure to engage gear during a turn creates an unreasonable risk of a t-bone collision.
The vehicle jolts when placed from park or reverse to drive after being driven 30 or more minutes or driving 10+ miles. I had previously sent it to 3 different dealerships and only one was able to temporarily resolve the issue. They had to adjust the issue through a computer system. However, after 6-12 months, it is happening again. I feel that is a property or safety issue for drivers because, the transmission or shift change makes the vehicle jump forward and if not carefully could possibly hit another vehicle or person that passes through the front side of the vehicle.
Car jerking,rpm needle jumps alot,feel like im going to run into someone or something, not getting gas mileage like before.
Gas tank does not fill properly. Gas back feeds up the tube and all over the car. To fill gas tank it takes about 30min pumping a few cents at a time.
My digital dashboard has not been working for a year now, it’s a black screen. I am also having problems with my fuel pump. I can’t fill my car all the way up with gas or else my car will not start.
Engine shuts down repeatedly and shuts off completely, causing a significant safety issue. Comments found on internet indicate this is a known problem for many production years. Surprisingly, no recalls from Ford or action taken by NHTSA.
I purchased a new 2018 Ford Mustang 2 dr 4 cyl ecoboost on July 9th 2018. On August 15, after having dinner with parents at the house, I went to visit some friends in davie and it was aprox 7:45 pm while driving on a 4 lane road divided by a median. Road has frequent speedbumps and the median has mature trees. While traveling on this road - I felt nauseous and placed both hands on the steering wheel and suddenly the road became blurry and I lost conciousness and struck a tree in the median. The car caught on fire and according to a police officer, he tried to revive me and to help me get out, however my legs were broken and injured. My right leg was broken and my left leg was badly injured. I was wearing a high boot on the left foot and no boot on the right foot in order to be able to drive comfortably. Seconds after the police officer removed me from the car, the car exploded. I believe that I was sold a defective car that leaked poisenous gases which caused me to pass out and crash I to a tree. Had it not been for the police officer, I would have died trapped in the burning car.
