Suspension Problems of Ford Mustang - part 1

I was driving one day when I began to hear a knocking sound on my vehicle. I then took the time to look up the recall on my current vehicle and it had mentioned “rear suspension knuckles (24s49): certain vehicles have defective rear suspension castings that can fail, leading to loss of vehicle control”. I just got off the phone with Ford and they expressed me how I do not have that recall under my VIN however I am experiencing the exact same description of what is going on and I am trying to get it looked at, but when I told them that I need this issue resolved before something major happens to my vehicle. They had told me that I had to pay for the diagnostic fee as well as it may not be covered once it is fixed. The sound has only got louder and I am afraid I will be driving and something serious will happen.

I had to put 3 sets of tires on my car by 50,000 miles. The Ford company told me to go to an alignment specialist because without putting some sort of aftermarket part on my car they can't properly align it and they are tired of fooling with it. I had taken my car for a regular 25,000 mile service, and my tires were so bad that the Ford company would not allow me to leave without rotating the tires. They told me that new tires are soft and not good quality really, they are for selling the car so they are soft rubber. They also told me I had to drive fast because its a muscle car and it would squatt upon going fast making the tires contact the road more even. After getting new, more premium tires and driving another 25,000 miles and the same thing happened at my 50,000 mile service, I started investigating and other year models have this same problem (years 15-23). I am in a situation where I have to put aftermarket parts on my car and potentially void my warranties and pay out of my own pocket. I have had an alignment 4 times and they say it is within specs but at the same time they say I do not have any camber adjustment left to prevent this problem. Ford makes an adjustable cam plate that is 410$ and another 480$ labor plus tax is almost a thousand dollars. Plus another realignment. This is not fair for a new car. I had to research myself and it was most definitely a safety concern. If I hadn't went right on time, I could have had a blow out. My tires have been properly rotated, and not driven in some bad way. It is also an environmental problem because I am throwing away perfectly good tires that are worn thru on the insides.

Catastrophic engine failure while driving at highway speeds in dense traffic led to seized engine and highly dangerous situation. Root cause wasn't determined due to volume of damage. Three pistons, rods, and crankshaft where shattered beyond recognition along with a cracked block. Engine was highly maintained and showed no signs of failure prior. Completely torn differential bushings around the bolt sleeve with low mileage and roughly a year and a half from build date. Personal research shows that this is a highly common issues that remains unaddressed by Ford and safety agencies.

I am reporting shimmy in front due to struts. I researched and noticed the struts are being recalled and replaced for this model of Ford Mustang. I would like to have these front struts replaced under the NHTSA recal, along with a passenger rear tire monitor. I can not get the tire monitor light to go off. My cell number is (xxxxx). Also the passenger air bag is not operative parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I have had two collision in my vehicle and the air bags did not deploy either time. Both were at a rate of speed approximately 50 mph. One was a rear end collision that was on the drivers side rear. The other was to the driver side wheel and light area. The rear collision I was in motion about 10 mph and was struck at approx. 50 mph. The frontal collision I was traveling about 40 mph and was struck moving at approx. 40-50 mph. This complaint is in regards to the frontal collision. I have photos but cannot get them to upload but provide them for further investigation.

While driving my 2015 Mustang gt, the driver side rear strut experienced a catastrophic failure which resulted in the strut blowing through the mount to the body and nearly penetrating the body of my vehicle. This caused a sudden loss of control with the vehicle and remains a high concern if it is to happen again. The dealership was unable to advise why this happened but all service personnel noted that this was a safety concern and should never happen on any vehicle, let alone one that is two years old. As you can see from the attached images, the strut itself penetrated the fuel filler line and under full suspension compression the strut itself was nearly penetrating the body of the vehicle as noted above.

Bought a 2015 Mustang gt Feb 28 at 9pm with 19200 miles on it. March 1 I noticed the car had 3 different tires brands on it. The car pulls bad to the left under acceleration, when you let off the gas it pulls right. Laurel Ford did a 4 wheel alignment on the car and it still pulls. Now they say it is the struts and the orded 2 new ones for the frount. I think it is the tires not the struts but they won't replace the tires because they would haft to pay for them. They only want to replace parts that warranty will pay for. They said no way they would pay for 4 new tires. This is a safety issue ⚠️ very dangerous driving the car because it is a manuel transmisaion and every time you accelerate the car pulls left holding the wheel straight does not stop it, it still pulls left, then right when you take your foot off the gas. What Ford dealer would sell a car with 19,200 miles on it with 3 mis mached tires on it. Also the tires have different load and speed rateings on each one, like 101y, and 105y, and 100 y. I dont know wats wrong, I think laurel Ford is stalling, why???? I have had the car for 15 days now still not fixed. I guess some one will look into this after some bodys gets killed like me and what ever car I hit head on at 70 mph.

The driver was able to pull the vehicle over onto the road shoulder. The contact placed the vehicle into reverse. While reversing, the front passenger side tire separated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front passenger side lower tie rod assembly bolt failed.

Last September 15th 2016thursday night I was driving my vehicle on road pr2 in quebradillas puerto rico. Around 50mph. Suddenly the car collapse in the left front end. I try to pull the vehicle to the right without any response, I try to apply the brakes and the pedal went all the way down and no brake response. I had no control of the vehicle, finally the vehicle stop when touch the center concrete wall in the center of the road. The vehicle has serious damage on the left front corner. At least I walked out with no injuries. The next morning I called Ford customer service number and I was told to take the car to the nearest Ford dealer. The car is in cabrera hnos in arecibo, pr. The car only has 13008 miles but the 3/36 expired in may 2016. They inspected the vehicle and confirm the left ball-joint is broken and cause all the damage. The manager also say an Ford specialist should evaluate the vehicle before do any repairs. I want to report this due is not normal a part like this breaks in any vehicle. The manager in the dealer joel andujar knows about the car and told me to call Ford customer service to report this event. I was told the part is out of warranty and also to report the incident to my insurance company. I hope hear from Ford. I also owner of other 2 Ford vehicles older than this one and I never had any problems with them. I purchased a total of 6 Ford vehicles in the last 25 years.

While driving the pan hard bar broke causing the vehicle to wobble back and forth uncontrollably. I was making a right hand turn at a light I was previously stopped at. I heard a noise as if I had ran over something and after completing the turn my car sounded as if it had a flat. I pulled over and inspected the tire and saw nothing. Attempting to drive over 10mph resulted in intense wobbling and unable to control vehicle. If at a high rate of speed this could have resulted in a crash. Researched online and multiple others had same incident with unknown reasons the bar breaks causing loss of control. This bar holds between rear wheels so vehicle will stay straight. I am just thankful I was at a slow speed and not driving on a freeway or higher rate of speed that could have resulted in losing my life or someone else's not having control of back portion of my vehicle. Even having it towed the tow operator said it wasn't even stable on back of his truck.

For the past three years. When I go to work. Everything is fine. When I leave work. I back the car up about 15-30 feet. Then pull out of the parking lot. When I pull out. As I press the gas & start going faster. The car stalls, jerks as if the breaks are pushed, then starts driving as normal again. It happens all the time. But my Ford place says it has to do it with them driving for them to know what to do or what the issue is. Then this past week. The same thing happened. But it happened for a longer time and the traction control light brinked the whole time I was trying to accelerate. So a friend at a Ford body shop told me it was probably my abs sensor. Also the hood of my car started to loose paint for no reason. No rust. It's just flaking off. The flacking started near the headlight underneath the top of the hood. & is slowly coming towards the top of the hood. My 36,000 mile warranty just expired right after I noticed the issue. And they wouldn't cover it. I don't think that's right!.

The 2007 Mustang pulled out from the side-street in front of an older chevy pickup at a tee intersection in a suburban neighborhood with very restricted sight distance, and was t-boned on the driver's side by the pickup travelling at around 35 mph. The driver's side of the Mustang was severely damaged to the extent that the left front wheel/tire/suspension assembly was ripped off the car. The point of impact was between the left front wheel and the middle of the driver's door. The Mustang is a one-owner car which was bought new and was specifically purchased with side airbags (an option on 2007 Mustangs). The vehicle has been well-maintained. The airbag tab was visible on the seat side bolster. Despite the severity of the impact, the side airbag did not deploy. We have photos documenting the positioning of the vehicles and the damage to the Mustang, including showing the side airbag tab and side of the driver's seat with the side airbag obviously not deployed. We believe that the side airbag was defective since it did not deploy. Note: the steering wheel airbag (subject to the takata recall but not yet replaced) did deploy correctly.

Engine light came on and car was sticking in gear so I took it to the dealer. The dealer found out through a diagnostic test that the throttle assembly but wanted me to pay almost $1000. 00 to get it fixed. I told them no and picked my car up. I went on line and found out there was a recall on the throttle assembly.

On July 4th, my 2015 Ford Mustang, had a break pedal issue, the pedal would lock and would not allow vehicle to stop. The fist time happen to me wile driving 55 mph and I was lucky because it was early in the morning on a not buy avenue so I was able to top the car with the hand break. However, in the process I was not able to stop at a red light. The tow the vehicle with 882 miles and returned to me with 882 miles. Service was horrible I had purchase the rental car option and the car was not provided to me until the day after the incident. In addition, they only conducted a visual point inspection and reprogrammed the pcm. I spoke to my case manager at Ford and they guarantee that they had resolve the problem and that it would not happen. Unfortunately on August 1st only a month later and at around 1500 miles, the break pedal locked and this time I was involve in an accident. Although I was driving only 35 mph, my vehicle suffer sever damages. I tow the vehicle to Ford and expected a rental car, but they told me that I would have to pay for the rental, which is stupid because my extended warranty should cover the expenses of the rental. I feel lucky that I had the accident at a low speed and I didn't have any injury to my self. However if it would been at a highway speed I could be death and possible many other, due to an issue that I had presented to Ford a month in advance. I hate Ford, I am scare to drive, and every time I hear a honk I panic. Today is a week since the accident and dealership has not even look at the car since they are still waiting on Ford instructions. The dealership excuse is that they need to drive the car to diagnose the issue, however the wheel and tire and the arm that help to give the direction of the car is damage and does not allow them to drive it. Now Ford wants to drive it!!.
