2013 Ford Mustang Electrical System Problems

2013 Ford mustang stalls and completely shuts down losing all power. Recall was not issued for my vin [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I bought this car through carvana. They mentioned it had no issues, after 6 months of driving I noticed the car is literally flooded inside and the electrical does not work well at all. I spent alot of money trying to fix the electrical including the wipers and AC yet both keep getting destroyed. Sometimes my traction system will go off and on and it's just so annoying how the water damage is eating away at a car I'm stuck overpaying for. It is a nightmare

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the speedometer became inoperable. The instrument cluster warning indicator lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and diagnosed that the lead frame needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 72,000.

I BOUGHT A USED 2013 V6 FORD MUSTANG USED IN AUGUST 2019. ALMOST SINCE THE BEGINING I'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT STALLING OUT. THE ENGINE ITSELF DOESN'T STOP RUNNING BUT THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION AND IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS IS PRESSED. THIS HAS MOSTLY HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN NOT MOVING. IT HAS HAPPENED MOSTLY WHILE ON CITY STREETS. THIS HAS TODAY I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PUT A CODE READER ON THE PORT AND RECEIVED THE CODE "P2111 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK OPEN." I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS ALLEGED WITH THE 2005-2012 FORD ESCAPE VEHICLE.

AFTER HAVING MY CAR FOR 5.5 YEARS, IT STARTED TO SHIFT GEARS ON ITS OWN (IT'S AN AUTOMATIC) AND BRAKE/STALL WHEN I'M GOING LOW SPEEDS. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO ACCELERATE (BEEN STUCK IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS ABOUT 5 TIMES) EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE ENGINE DOES NOT SHUT OFF...SO I WILL TURN MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO GET GOING AGAIN. ONE TIME I WAS ON THE FREE WAY WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS GOING 65 MPH AND MY DASH BOARD WENT COMPLETELY RED AND SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO...THE CAR DID NOT STOP UNTIL I MANUALLY TURNED IF OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ALSO, IT ONCE DID THE OPPOSITE WHEN I WAS TRYING TO BRAKE BEFORE A RED LIGHT, THE CAR JOLTED/ACCELERATED FORWARD WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS. I'VE REPLACED THE AIR FILTERS, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND ENGINE'S WIRE HARNESS (ALL AT SEPARATE TIMES) AND THE ISSUE REMAINS.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE LESS THAN A MILE FROM MY HOME NOTICED I HAD NO AIR WHEN I HIT THE AC BUTTON AS IT WAS VERY WARM DAY THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY IN THE LAST 2 YEARS , SO I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AND THE AIR AND A/C BEGAN WORKING. I TOOK INTO FORD WHEN CAR WAS STILL UNDER THE 3 YEAR 36000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING SINCE IT WAS NO OCCURRING AT THAT TIME. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH WINDOWS FOGGING UP WHILE DRIVING AFTER JUST STARTING THE VEHICLE SINCE OWNING IT. THIS CAR ALSO HAS A DEFECTIVE CLEAR COAT FINISH ON THE BACK OF VEHICLE TRUNK AREA. THE CLEAR COAT ON THE BLACK PANEL OF THE TRUNK IS PEELING OFF THIS CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THE CLEARCOAT IS PEELING OFF AS BADLY IS IT IS. I AM EMBARRASSED TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH THE CLEARCOAT PEELING OFF THE WAY IT IS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AT ALL. I HAVE OWNED FORD VEHICLES MY WHOLE LIFE AND AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE QUALITY OF THIS MUSTANG(WHICH I HAD TO SAVE MY MONEY FOUR 4 YEARS BEFORE I COULD BUY ONE) I HAD A 1995 MUSTANG GT FOR 13 YEARS NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE PAINT ON IT. I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT FORD BUT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD VEHICLE AGAIN. I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE THE FINISH IS PEELING OFF ON A 4 YR OLD VEHICLE. I AM ALSO VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE FACT THAT I HAD TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF WITH DEFECTIVE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY REPLACED IT. I HAD TO REDUCE MY DRIVING UNTIL IT WAS REPLACED ALMOST A YEAR AND A HALF AFTER RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE.

CAR SEEMED TO HAVE A MISS WHEN DRIVING ....AFTER STOPPING AND GETTING BACK IN AND STARTING CAR WAS APPARENTLY NOT RUNNING LIKE IT SUPPOSED TO ....ALSO HAD NO GAS PEDAL CONTROL AT ALL...WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF AND RESTART AND GET TO A AUTO PARTS STORE TO HAVE ENGINE TESTED ( AT THIS TIME NOTICE ENGINE LIGHT ON). CODE GIVEN WAS P2111....THROTTLE ACUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK OPEN UPON DOING RESEARCH HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON SAME MODEL CAR AS MINE ....ALSO FORD ESCAPE HAS SAME ISSUE AND FORD HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY TO FIX THE PROBLEM .......CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY SAY NOT RELATED TO MY CAR ...APPARENTLY THIS MAY BE THE SAME ISSUE AS MINE ....NO HELP FROM THEM THOUGH

THERE IS A RECALL ON THE TASHAKI AIRBAGS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER 5 YEARS TO GET AN AIRBAG I HAD A 2005 FORD MUSTANG IT NEEDED AN AIRBAG THAT CAR HAS SINCE BEEN TRADED OFF THEN I BOUGHT A 2013 FORD MUSTANG AND IT'S THE SAME THING IF THE AIRBAG BUT WITH THIS 2013 FORD MUSTANG THE LIGHTS KEEP FLICKERING ON AND OFF THEY FADE IN AND OUT THEY'LL COME ON AND THEN THEY'LL GO OUT AND COME BACK ON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHILE ACTIVATED. IN ADDITION, THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL BECAME INOPERATIVE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR A FEW MOMENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,700.

THE VEHICLES INTERIOR DOOR PANELS WILL RATTLE WHILE THE CAR ACCELERATES AND WHEN THE VEHICLE STEREO IS PLAYING. THE VEHICE HAS BEEN IN TO HAVE THIS ADDRESSED NUMEROUS TIMES AND MULTIPLE DEALERS ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. DOOR PANELS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TO NO AVAIL. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING AND MAY IMPAIR ABILITY TO HEAR WHAT TRAFFIC IS DOING AROUND THE VEHICLE. *TR

INCIDENT: WHILE WAITING IN THE LEFT TURN LANE FOR THE LEFT TURN LIGHT TO TURN GREEN I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I WAS BEHIND ANOTHER LEFT TURNING VEHICLE. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE SO TO APPLY PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. HOWEVER, BEFORE I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO REAPPLY BRAKE AND THE CAR STOPPED. THIS TOOK PLACE ON LEVEL GROUND ON SOUTH BOUND HIGHWAY 19 AT HENRY ST. IN KONA. *TR
