I have a beautiful 2011 Ford Mustang that has been rendered useless because the brake lights and turn signals continually blow a fuse. The car cannot be repaired because Ford quit making the needed part after the car was 8 years old. This not only creates an unnecessary expense of purchasing a new car it is also a safety hazard. After extensively searching for the part on the internet I found many cases of people needing that part with no luck finding it. As info the part number is AR3Z13C788F. How many people will be driving around without brake lights and turn signals because Ford decided brake lights aren't necessary after a car is 8 years old.

2011 FORD MUSTANG 3.7L V6 CONVERTIBLE, PREMIUM, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THROTTLE BODY FAILURE (PART # AT4Z-9E926-B) WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATES, THE DASHBOARD 'WRENCH LIGHT' COMES ON, THE FRONT END OF THE CAR RUMBLES AND SHAKES, AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE, FORCING ME TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS AT MODERATE SPEED ON LOCAL ROADS AND AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IF I PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES, AND THEN RESTART, IT USUALLY RUNS NORMALLY. ON ONE OCCASION, IT DID NOT. IT DECELERATED AND THEN STALLED COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOUR WAY INTERSECTION WHILE I WAS ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER BEING TOLD THERE 'WAS NO CODE,' SO THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I COASTED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTED IT, AFTER WHICH IT RAN FOR ABOUT A MINUTE, SHOOK VIOLENTLY, AND THEN STALLED. EVERY INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD WAS ILLUMINATED. IT SEEMED AS IF THE CAR WAS CHOKING. I REPEATED THIS OVER AND OVER, CREEPING DOWN THE SHOULDER, BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP.

I RECEIVED A CARD IN THE MAIL TOO CHECK ON MY CAR IF IT HAD A TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL

DEFECTIVE AIRBAG

TAKATA RECALL: FORD HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE ACCEPTABLE AIRBAG REMEDY YET THAT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED BY CUSTOMER. THEY SEND NOTICES BUT ONCE CONTACTED ARE UNABLE TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR

THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SEAT BELT IS STUCK AND WILL NOT RELEASE TO ALLOW BUCKLING. I CONTACTED THE LAKELAND FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE IT, WITHOUT ME PAYING $505, EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND OFFERED A RENTAL CAR WHILE THE REPAIR WOULD BE COMPLETED.

TAKATA RECALL, RECEIVED NOTICE ABOUT FAULTY AIR BAGS IN 2016. REPLACED DRIVE SIDE IN DEC 2016. PASSENGER SIDE NOT AVAILABLE YET. RECEIVED NOTICE OF PARTS AVAILABLE FEB 2018. CALL FOR REPAIR MARCH 2018. WAS TOLD PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR RECALL CUSTOMERS YET. I WAS PUT ON A LIST FOR THE "RECALL PARTS" AND THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT WHEN AVAILABLE. CALLED AGAIN IN MAY MADE APPOINTMENT TO GET GET REPLACED. WHEN ARRIVED AT DEALER, I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE THE PART PUT NOT FOR ME BECAUSE THERE IS A DIFFERENT PROCESS NOW TO ORDER "RECALL PARTS". I WAS PUT ON ANOTHER LIST. CALLED AND CAME IN AGAIN AUG 10 2018. WAS TOLD THAT I WAS NOT A THE "NEW" LIST TO ORDER "RECALL PARTS". I WAS TOLD THE PROCESS HAS CHANGED 5 TIMES SO THE OTHER PROCESS DID NOT COUNT. I WAS INFORMED BY SERVICE MANAGER THAT HE WOULD NOT RISK HIS FAMILY IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WAS TOLD ONLY USE THE BACK SEATS. THIS IS NOT PRACTICAL FOR DAILY USE AND PUTS UNDUE RISK TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. FORD HAS BREACHED IT'S DUTY TO PREFORM NEED REPAIRS IN A TIMELY MANNER. ALL REPAIR ATTEMPTS WERE MADE AT FORD OF ESCONDIDO, CA. AFTER I STATED I WOULD LOG A FORMAL COMPLAINT THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS ABLE TO FIND THE PART AND WILL COMPLETE REPAIR. THIS JUST SEEMS LIKE AN ATTEMPT TO NOT FIX THE ISSUE DUE TO FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS.

I DECIDED TO DROP THE CONVERTIBLE TOP OF MY 2011 FORD MUSTANG WHEN THE WEATHER DECIDED TO CHANGE I WAS PRESSING THE BUTTON TO LET THE TOP UP. NOTHING IS HAPPENING ALL FUEL'S ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BATTERY IS GOOD THE PUMP UNDER THE BACK SEAT IS AT IT'S RITE LEVEL. I HAD TO PARK FOR HOURS UNDER SHEAD UNTIL THE RAIN STOPS AN WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO A FRIEND HOUSE WHO WAS GLADLY TO LET ME PARK THE CAR IN HIS GARAGE. I WAS PARK AT A GAS STATION.

WHILE TURNING IN A PARKING LOT THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED UPSIDE DOWN AND THE WHEELS WERE LOCKED TO THE RIGHT. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. I WENT INTO A STORE AND WHEN I CAME OUT AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THREE RESTARTS DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I FINALLY MANUALLY CRANKED THE WHEEL UNTIL I HEARD A LOUD THUD AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AGAIN AT WHICH POINT THE ISSUE RESOLVED. I DRIVE 110 MILES EACH WAY TO WORK. THE MUSTANG HAS 68,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN GET PEOPLE KILLED. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON OTHER MODELS IN THE SAME YEAR BY FORD WITH THE SAME SYSTEM. I WILL BE TRADING THE CAR ASAP. THESE CARS ARE DEATH TRAPS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. THIS IS A DOCUMENTED ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES.

INTERMITTENT STEERING ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING, WHICH CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO VIOLENTLY JERK OUT OF YOUR HANDS WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IT FAILS, ITS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN ALL DRIVING SITUATIONS - DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, STUCK IN TRAFFIC, PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, ETC. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY, AND RIDICULOUS FORD HASN'T ISSUED A WARRANTY FOR THEIR STEERING ISSUE.

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. HESITATION WHEN UPON INITIAL TAKE OFF AND INCONSISTENT SHIFTING. CAUSES HAZARDOUS CONDITION WHEN YOU EXPECT THE VEHICLE TO GO AND THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE.
