3 Ignition Switch problem of the 2015 Ford Mustang

Failure Date: 09/10/2015

The push button ignition switch is located directly under the radio control buttons. The ignition button will shut the car off while in gear and in motion. This happened while I was in a parking lot, going about 5 mph. My husband accidently pushed the ignition button instead of the radio control button and shut the car off. Ford has no solution to this hazardous design flaw, and told me they can't re-engineer the vehicle to eliminate the risk of a serious accident.

6 Ignition Switch problem of the 1998 Ford Mustang

Service engine light comes on and stays on for a period of time then goes off. This has been happening for sometime before warranty expired but has not been taken to a dealer to be checked. Rear suspension feels as if the shock absorbers have already failed, causing harder than normal shocks specially when hitting small bumps or deeps on the road. Key gets stock on the ignition when parking and attempting to remove the key. Vehicle has been in two different dealers in an attemp to correct the failure but it continues to happen. Appreciate any assiatance and suggestions you can provide with respect to similar problems reported to you.
