I was following my wife to the Jeep Dodge cherokee dealership to get her recall taking care of. On the way there at the off ramp of 575 and riverstone parkway I made a right turn to get off on the ramp to exit and I heard a loud thud and the motor accelerated very loud and odd sounding. I was unable to control the vehicle. The only thing I could do to keep from running into anyone was slam on the brakes when I did that the breaks gave a loud screech and was very slow to stop. I ended up hitting 3 cars on the left side none of the airbags deployed nor did any of the seatbelt lock so the only thing I had to stop me from hitting my head against the steering wheel was to put my hands out in front of me on the steering wheel. When the impact happen it was so fierce that my right hand gave out and was snatched of the steering wheel and I damaged my right arm on the steering wheel column. Still kind of hurts and I still have scars.

Since aprox 500 miles I have noticed a very consistant knock knock knock noise coming from the right side rear wheel area. Ford dealer looked and has said its a normal operating noise for the car per for engineers. I do not agree. Its a knock knock knock at low, parking lot speeds and can be heard driving straight or a little easier to hear when turning. This is a new car that has not been raced, abused or modifyed at all and its completely wrong for them to say this noise is normal.

I had a blow out the vehicle accelerated and I could not stop it I ended up hitting a curb which actually stopped the vehicle and the tire rod was broke the steering was out the suspension was out the complete brake system was out I was thankful that my child to just be bruised because there was a hole on side of tire bigger than 1/2 dollar. I was told the tires would not blow out (at dealer ship) and paid extra when I bought the car for the protection. I called Ford customer service regarding the damage the vehicle occurred just because of a blow out . The woman was extremely rude and said you shouldn't have hit a curb any experience drivers out here knows if you hit a curb it does not cause this damage and I am thankful for my insurance as they are looking into the vehicle as serious defects. I was told that the damage to this vehicle happened at the time of this so called blow out and that is why I had no control over the vehicle so I truly believe that when the damage occurred to the driver side back tire was the result of maybe a rod hitting the back tire causing the blow out because I have driven a vehicle for over 35 years and never had this much damage nor this much problem due to a blow out. No warning lights appeared on my vehicle until I got stopped not even low pressure tire . . . When the steering went out it felt like I was trying to drive a car with the keys off , the steering wheel froze. . . . At this time I still do not know all the damage as this was just visual inspection from the people who are attempting to fix my new car . . . I do blame Ford for this as this was unusual as I did not have an accident yet the car looks like it has been in a head in collision.

Air fail to deploy when hit by a uninsured motorist who was speeding through a school zone did an legal lane change hit me while I was making a left turn seat belt on left turn bleaker on turning when safe bam!!! never seen it coming my head slammed into the steel fame of my 2011 Ford Mustang v6 head neck back mid lower back every thing from head to toe on my left hurts like hell ribs on both sides knees hands feet as well.

I cannot financial afford to replace these items. Please contact me.

122512 when going over speed humps vehicle makes squeaking noise. Dealer changed oil, rotated tires, and completed a multi point inspection. Suggested rotating tires and changing air pressure should help the problem. The squeaking continued but did not occur all the time. When calling the dealership after it persisted they suggested it may be the cold weather. 042613 called the dealership because after having tire pressure and tires checked the noise continued & was occurring over every speed hump, when I attempted to break pedal would not go down on 3 occasions, & when making sharp left turns the car made a knocking sound. I was also due for an oil change 20,000 mile service. The dealership serviced my vehicle 042713 and replaced the left/right inner tie rods but when they returned my vehicle the wheel was not aligned. The service department said it was because their machine was broken and when I complained they asked me to bring it back the following Tuesday (050213) to complete my service. They also made note there were unable to duplicate my brake pedal problems. In my service report they did not note the oil change, tire rotation, or service. When I mentioned this the advisor said it was completed. 052913 I returned my car to the dealer service department. I had my brake pedal stick 2 more times since my last visit, the noise going over speed humps returned, the knocked noise during hard left turns now also occurred during a right turn, & left side turn noise returned. Also oil setting reads only 86%. As of today (060213), I still do not have my vehicle or a clear answer as to what is wrong or will be repaired. After calling the service department on Friday (053113) & Saturday (060113), the service advisor only said they are ordering parts, the sales department would give me a call, & they may replace the swing arm.

Upon going over small size speed bump, I noticed a clunking/grinding sound coming from the front end. I just had the bumper/quarter panel work done 2 days ago "first time hitting bumps". Was told today that there has been a lot of complaints with this type of issue. Will be seeing a dealership soon.

Under moderate to heavy braking the cars brake pedal will pulsate and go to the floor but the vehicle will still be moving forward and take an extended time to slow down. Ford states thats this is normal operation. Last time I checked when you go to apply the brakes the vehicle is supposed to stop not take its sweet time slowing down.

While attempting to make a lane change on the freeway at 70 mph,, I had to make a correction and move back into my original lane due to someone wanting to change into the same lane at the same time. The front end swayed back and forth out of control. Almost had an accident. This happened again at 65 mph on 09/14/2012. On 10/03/2012 I bought the car into the dealership I bought the car from. They investigated this problem and said the Mustang v6 model has a tendency to do this and said it would take about $700 in parts and labor to possibly fix this problem. . I filed a complaint with the Ford district manager and he disagreed with the dealership saying there are no handling problems with the 2011 Mustangs.

In traffic transmission intermittently locks you out of 2nd gear. Ford would not repair under warranty their tech said repair might not resolve the issue and might make the problem even worse. Vehicle is a bit dangerous and unnerving to drive in traffic, especially heavy traffic. Suspension bounces vehicle up and down heavily on the interstate at interstate speeds. Vehicle is a bit dangerous and unnerving to drive at interstate speeds on the interstate, especially if the road is course and curvy.

None of the gauges work. I have to drive pacing myself with other vehicles. Only the icon for gas needed comes on when the gas is low. Starting after about 10,000 miles on the car I have had increasing problems getting fuel in the car. Not just myself, but anyone that tries to fuel the car. I initially started holding the fuel nozzle upside down to get gas and that worked for a few years. (although you look like a dumb ass that doesn't know how to put gas in a car!) this last year it has gotten so bad that I am lucky to get 2 gallons in it, and that is with it repeatedly shutting off. Since day one the right front wheel makes a grinding/clunking noise when I turn the tire in either direction. It makes me feel like the wheel will fall off. My cars body assembly is also crap. The front lower grill has popped off and disappeared. I have seen several, at least 10 other Mustangs of this year missing the same part. The plastic, yes plastic!, screws pop out. The places where the inside seams of the car are supposed to connect are detached. The light enclosure in the trunk will not stay attached. The seat handles fall off. I only have 50,000 miles on this car. Repair shops tell me to wait for a recall, when is that going to happen?.

Front end noise when at 5 mph over small bumps, from both sides passenger side and driver side. Took it to dealer and they said it was a loose stabilizer link and it was tightened. I drove of the lot with the same problem nothing was solved.

The contact owns a 1999 Ford Mustang. While driving 35 mph, the contact heard a loud noise. The noise was caused by the aluminum rim splitting in half, causing the right front wheel to turn on its own. The wheel detached from the vehicle and the frame dropped. The contact had the vehicle towed to his residence. The current and failure mileages were 96,000.

2005 Ford Mustang gt - there was bad vibration within vehicle. This happened anytime while driving at 45 mph and above. It seemed worse when the car sat for a few days. This did not start until the car had approximately 3000-4000 miles on it. The dealer seemed to think it was the tires, one new set of all four tires, and a set of two tires that were put on this vehicle. The tire calibration machine stated that the tires were within specs. The consumer called the manufacturer, and there were no recalls or technical service bulletins on this car. The consumer believed the problem is with the suspension or the drive train. Updated 02/14/06.

I purchased my 2005 Ford Mustang on may 28, 2005 and about a week after I started noticing the paint had chips in it, then I started looking the car over with a magnifying glass (almost) and noticed that the tint that had been placed in florida where the car was purchased from dealer to dealer was bubbling in places and since it wasn't done by Ford nothing could be done, then I noticed when I came to a stop and pulled it out of gear the rpms would run extremely high then fall low and back up again, and it continues to do this, about 1 1/2 months ago I started noticing a rattling in the front of the car, not sure what that is yet, we will see what the dealership says about this all tomorrow.

Creaking noise while turning either left or right.

While driving 5-60 mph steering wheel would pull to the right. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

Purchased vehicle from used car lot on 5/14/2004. Had suspicion that vehicle had been wrecked and repaired. They assured me that they do not sell vehicles like that and it was never in an accident. I received a statement from an auto body shop stating that the vehicle has been wrecked and repaired and still has suspension damage. The dealership I purchased the vehicle from thinks I am lying and trying to get out of a contract. I have taken pictures of the vehicle and its damages. I have also obtained a car fax report stating that there was an accident reported in washington state with a police report # and a accident report #. Since the vehicle was purchased, it drove really squirmy, pulled to both sides of the vehicle and had a problem when it was test drove. They thought it was brakes and it actually was a problem with the gears. The brakes were ok, they were not the best and did not stop the vehicle that well. The vents in the vehicle were broken out, which I fixed the best I could, the shift box inside the vehicle had the protective cover missing and the shifter indicator that lets you know what gear you are in did not move at all.

When the brakes were applied, the vehicle pulled to the side.

We have had issues with this car since it was bought new. All issues have been looked at by the dealer during the factory warranty and still remain unresolved. I have written a letter to Ford headquarters but they sent a complete rejection letter. I was told today by a Ford customer service representative to file a complaint here. I can supply documents and the original letter to Ford if needed. The main issues from purchasing new and driving off the lot are (in rough order of importance): -major paint and clear coat issues (brought to dealer two days after purchase to complain. They have never resolved problem and it has continued to get worse to this day. ) -driver door window stops working intermittently. -car engine surging making car lurch forward (my wife was involved in a minor accident because of this. It was reported to insurance. ) -engine acts like it wants to stall when turning steering wheel in reverse. -headlight lenses completely clouded early on (have had to have restoration done to headlights several times. ) -engine sounds like diesel when ambient temperature is high. -bulge in seal above windshield frame where convertible top seats against it. -stereo interference (loud continuous buzzing sound. ) -ac thump (high pressure coolant line hits firewall when compressor starts. ) -driver door rattle (after the window was worked on but was not fixed. ) -light burned out in ac panel (occurred after stereo was replace to try to eliminate interference, but was not resolved. ) we have maintained and kept our low mileage Mustang in excellent condition otherwise. We don't know where to go from here. Thank you.

Car has been repaired 4 times and still has vibration at highway speeds. Manufacturer tells me this is normal. Mr.

Erratic handling on freeway , steering became uncontrolable and swerving when pulling out into intersection.

Was driving v when vehicle started to vibrate severely. After arriving home, placed vehicle on hoist and checked beneath it.

While driving at 15 mph and making a right turn, the vehicle spinned around, causing the consumer to lose control of the vehicle and hitting a curb. The pavement was wet.

I have had the car back to the dealer for a check, and they said this was normal for the 3. 8 convertible Mustangs. That they all did this. Whole car shakes at 55 to 70mph.
