The 2026 Ford Mustang was off and rolled away out of the driveway colliding with tree, the incident was caught on my ring camera, the electrical system vehicle had acting strangely and kept giving warning the trunk was open and had to go open and close it multiple times. Once I parked the vehicle at my house the car rolled away, according to Ford manual the vehicle is equipped this is a failure to the involves a critical safety system (automatic return to park) that is explicitly designed to prevent exactly what happened, you should treat this as a serious safety defect. As of may 2026, Ford has already issued a major recall (recall 25c69) for rollaway risks in other 2026 models like the Mustang mach-e and maverick due to a software fault in the "integrated park module.

My 2020 Ford Mustang ecoboost has a (p008a) and (po18b/po18c) the fuel pressure fuel system you low and fuel pressure sensor b is a well documented defects and has a customer satisfaction program 21n10 (or related tsbs). The dealer said there are no recalls under my VIN number and vehicle was not repaired. I sent a certified letter to Ford March 29, 2026 to Ford motor company and I have had no response. 2015 thru 2022 Mustangs have this well known defect. I am not sure why the 2020 Mustang has not been issued a recall. It's the same identical part as the other years Mustangs that have been recalled.

Touch screen system has completely stopped turning on (and wont turn on) any time the outside temperature drops below about 70 degrees fahrenheit. Per online research this is a common, known issue and given that this prevents the use of key saftey features such as the backup camera and climate controls I am unsure why this has not yet initiated a safety recall. I have dealt with this for the past 3 winters and can confirm it is 100% in relation to outside temperature. There is no warning lamp/message. The screen will simply not turn on in below 70 degree temperatures. A component to the touch screen must be shielded improperly/not graded for outdoor use.

I am filing a safety complaint regarding an open manufacturer recall on my vehicle that has not been completed despite being scheduled for repair. On or about 2/16/2026, I scheduled the recall repair with an authorized dealership/service center. The repair was accepted and scheduled; however, the repair has not been completed to date. It has now been approximately 50 days (or more) since the scheduled appointment, and the recall remedy remains unresolved. Despite multiple attempts to follow up, the repair has not been performed, and no reasonable timeline has been provided for completion. This ongoing delay leaves the vehicle in an unrepaired condition subject to a known safety-related recall issue. Safety concern: the unresolved recall defect presents a potential safety risk, as the manufacturer has identified the issue as significant enough to warrant a recall. The continued delay in remedy increases the risk of operating a vehicle with a known safety defect. Dealer / manufacturer response: •recall repair was scheduled and acknowledged by the dealer - suburban Ford of ferndale. •repair has not been completed after an extended period. •no adequate resolution timeline has been provided. •communication regarding the delay has been insufficient. Impact: •vehicle remains in an unsafe or potentially unsafe condition. •loss of use / inability to rely on manufacturer recall remedy. •unreasonable delay in addressing a safety recall. Requested action: I am requesting that NHTSA: •review this matter as a potential failure to timely remedy a safety recall •ensure the manufacturer and/or dealer fulfills its obligations to complete the recall repair promptly •investigate whether systemic delays or failures are occurring in the recall remedy process additional notes: this issue is not merely about the existence of a recall, but rather the failure to complete a scheduled recall repair within a reasonable timeframe after acceptance by the dealership.

The rear backup camera on my 2019 Ford Mustang intermittently stops working. At times the screen shows a blue screen or displays a “backup camera not available” message. The issue comes and goes without warning. This creates a safety concern when reversing, as visibility is reduced and the camera cannot be relied upon. The problem appears to be electrical and is not consistently functioning.

There have been 3 instances within the last year and a half where the rear window of my vehicle (Ford Mustang) and the rear window of family member Ford Mustang both have shattered during the extreme cold possibly due to the heating coils on the window over heating and burning. You can see a burn pattern in the window this is a safety issue due to the window shattering, it sounded as if someone shot my window out the first time it happened my [xxx] son was in the back of the vehicle and I was driving home. The second instance, same vehicle, started the car using the remote starter and it did the same thing. This has not been inspected by my insurance representative, it has been reported in both instances through my insurance and pictures have been taken. There have been no warning signs or even issues, there wiring look like it had been burned, melted information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The main screen in the car completely went black all of the sudden with no prior warnings or signs to show cause of the outage. The duration of time was over 5 minutes and it was only the center screen not the screen behind the steering wheel it stayed on. The car mostly runs off of the center touch screen with all the braking, lane keeping, powered windows, airbags, gps etc to not have any control over any functions due to the screen outage is a big concern. It has not happened again but just this one time. I also have noticed if I put the vehicle in lane keeping control it starts to leak fluid on my feet inside the vehicle.

While driving approximately 45 mph and entering a highway, my 2022 Ford Mustang gt California special suddenly lost power and shut off completely. The engine stalled without warning, creating a dangerous situation with surrounding traffic. I had to coast the vehicle and restart it. This vehicle has an open safety recall (NHTSA recall number 25v455 / Ford recall 25s75) related to a low-pressure fuel pump failure that can cause engine stalling while driving. The recall has been open for several months, and there is currently no available remedy or repair from the manufacturer. The incident I experienced matches the recall description exactly. Despite the known safety risk, the manufacturer has not provided a fix, leaving the vehicle unsafe to operate. I am concerned for my safety and the safety of others due to the risk of repeated engine stalling at highway speeds.

Battery goes dead when sitting for a week when not driven. When I charge the battery and hook up the terminals and turn on the ignition with key the radio comes on and I know it was shut off before shutting car down. I always shut off radio before shutting off the car. I have seen reports of shutting radio off first then car ignition. Any idea what to look for.

I own a new manual 2024 Ford Mustang gt now with 800 miles. When turning on the unit on 2 occasions, one on November 20 and another on December 3, documented with photographs and videos, the unit presents a black screen with no image. Either in reverse or drive without the possibility of viewing any image. The agency was notified and commented that these failures had never occurred.

On [xxx], multiple electrical systems on my 2024 Ford Mustang suddenly failed while the vehicle was in normal operation. The following systems stopped functioning: hvac/climate control, heated seats, outside temperature display, rear turn signals, and blind spot monitoring. No prior warning lights were displayed before the failure. These failures significantly compromised safety because the rear turn signals and blind spot monitoring stopped working without warning while driving. Loss of exterior signaling and driver-assistance systems created a risk of collision. The lack of hvac also created visibility concerns due to inability to defog windows. The vehicle was taken to an authorized Ford dealer the same day. The dealer confirmed the issue, diagnosed water intrusion into the body control module, and stated that the failure is linked to an open Ford recall regarding bcm water intrusion. The dealer has had the vehicle since 10/21/25, and the bcm and related components remain available for inspection. The repair has been delayed for nearly two months, and the dealer reports they are “waiting on engineering approval” from Ford with no estimated completion date. The defect has been reproduced and confirmed by the dealer but has not yet been repaired. The manufacturer has not inspected the vehicle directly, and no police or insurance inspection has occurred. The safety risk remains significant because bcm failure disables multiple critical signaling and monitoring systems without warning. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Driving down the road all tire sensors went into default – started flickering on and off headlights kept flickering on and off ac kept working and then stopped working.

The auxiliary display that contains the rear camera view failed on several occasions even after the software installation from Ford to fix the failure of this display. The aural alert for cross traffic and pedestrian warning still functions, however, without the display I do not know what is behind or beside the car and from which direction it is coming from when backing out of blind parking spot (between two trucks in the last case). The Mustang is currently being inspected by the local dealer again.

The rearview camera display threw up a blue screen then proceeded to throw up a back screen and told me “camera is unavailable. Please contact dealership. ” from my knowledge, there is a current recall out for this particular issue. I was attempting to back into a parking spot when this happened and I was surrounded by vehicles when this happened. There were no warnings on the vehicle dash or in the app. I would like this fixed as soon as possible.

I am filing this complaint regarding a vehicle I purchased from florida fine cars in miami gardens on [xxx}. The vehicle is a Ford Mustang gt with a roush supercharger (VIN: [xxx] ). Immediately after purchase, the car exhibited serious performance and safety issues that were never disclosed by the dealer. Within hours of driving home, the vehicle showed severe power loss, hesitation during acceleration, and loud mechanical noises at highway speeds. These issues were not detectable during the brief, low-speed test drive the dealership provided. Additionally, by the next morning, the car emitted a strong plastic or chemical odor under the hood, which intensified in the florida heat — suggesting a possible engine, exhaust, or emissions-related fault. The dealer misrepresented the condition of the vehicle, repeatedly claiming it was “fully inspected” and “in excellent condition. ” however, a certified Ford dealership technician later confirmed that the car “ran like garbage” and required immediate diagnostic attention. These defects are potentially safety-related, as they directly affect the engine’s performance, drivability, and emissions integrity. The vehicle could stall, lose power during acceleration, or emit toxic fumes. Florida fine cars has refused to take responsibility, despite clear evidence that the car was sold with undisclosed defects. Their actions constitute false advertising, misrepresentation, and a disregard for consumer safety. I urge NHTSA to record this complaint and investigate whether similar vehicles sold by florida fine cars (or others with aftermarket superchargers) have unreported safety or emissions defects. This poses a serious risk to consumer safety and compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Trunk stopped working about a year ago along with the backup camera. I understand this is a known issue & recall however I haven’t had the time to bring it in. Finally brought it in & they will only replace the wiring harness which fixed the trunk but not the backup camera which is what I understand to be the main issue of the recall so it makes no sense. If the wiring harness doesn’t fix the main safety issue why aren’t they responsible for replacing the camera? thanks,.

Odometer roll back was found to be a problem after I bought the car and took it to a Ford dealership which they voluntarily did the carfax for me and that is how I've come to find out that the odometer has been rolled back some point in time last year before I bought the car.

The failure mileage was unknown.

I am concerned about a serious safety recall affecting the vehicle. To date, the manufacturer has not taken corrective action, which has placed an undue amount of stress on me. I respectfully request prompt steps to resolve this issue.

Two issues actually 1. Back up camera gives the blue screen. Says unavailable and contact dealer. I have not yet as this just started. I am seeing a bunch of complaints on this though. 2. When I roll all the windows down then roll them up, the back triangle windows don't go up all the way. I have to get out of the car and pull them up all the way. Dealer said I just need to lube the edge and the groove they sit in. Which was tried. Didn't work. Could be a safety issue if I have to pull over and get out of the car to pull the windows up.

Took car to dealership per recall. Touch screen flickering on and off. Can't depend on back up camera. According to dealer "recall 22a06a was previously completed on TSB 19-2273. And no other repairs were neede at this time. Note, sync mytouch screen is blinking on and off at all times and recommend diag. " they replaced apin and screen. According to the repair bill. It was still flickering and replaced fdcin. Screen no longer flickering. It seems to me this is a safety hazard as it affects the viewing of the back up camera with any accuracy and could cause an accident no matter how careful a person is. It also seems to me that Ford knew extra parts my be needed to rectify the situation they should have been included in the orginal recall.

Center dashboard screen visually displaying backup camera, ventilation controls, radio, etc. , does not boot leaving screen blank and nonfunctional. This problem did not begin until the NHTSA campaign number: 24v802000 software update was installed in January 2025. Safety hazard: cannot view backup camera. This VIN appears to not have been included yet in current NHTSA campaign number: 25v315000 recall.

The center screen / infotainment system will not turn on sometimes when I start the car. I am unable to use the backup camera, navigation, and air conditioning controls.

1. 2020 Mustang ecoboost is equipped from factory with redesigned block to minimize/eliminate coolant intrusion and or head gasket failure. I still had the dreaded "ecoboom" issue with coolant intrusion on two cylinders as a result of a broken head gasket and poor engine block design. Regular maintenance was perfomed and use primarily top tier 93 octane fuel. 5k mile interval 5w-50 oil changes according to manual using Ford spec oil full synthetic. Cold start misfires and excessive engine shaking are still occurring despite short block replacement by Ford and they won't diagnose properly. 2. Electrical/audio. Issue with crackling audio, audio skipping and both iphones and androids having disconnection issues. Factory reset the sync module twice, attempted reset by unplugging car battery and also checked alternator. Replaced car battery with fresh battery and issue persists. 3. Powertrain: the 10r80 auto transmission is extremely jarring and does not shift smoothly. Hesitates throughout gears, sluggish gears changes. Gives whiplash effect even after a filter and oil change for the transmission with oem fluid and filter. Premature transmission gasket housing failure as well causing atf to leak onto ground.

The passenger side door will open by itself. This happened twice within the last month with a passenger in the seat and once with no passenger. The warning lamp will come with an alert to say that the passenger side door is open. This puts the safety of those in the car at risk of falling out, or possibly an accident if the door completely opens. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by anyone. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.
