What owners report
Owners of this model year most often write about the Takata airbag inflator recalls, especially long waits for replacement parts, and many complaints seem to be filed just to document that the recall work was still pending. Beyond airbags, the sample shows recurring transmission complaints, mostly on manual-transmission cars (vibration on deceleration, difficulty engaging gears, unexpected downshifts or limp mode on automatics), plus smaller groups of power-steering, brake/AdvanceTrac and water-leak complaints. Except for the airbag recall items, most reported mileage falls in the tens of thousands of miles, and the trend in filings is decreasing.

Airbag inflator recall and parts wait
- 236 complaints (66%)
- median 25,000 mi at 2.5 yrs old (59 state mileage)
- 27 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 2014–2026
Owners describe receiving recall notices about the front airbag inflators and then being unable to get the replacement done, with dealers citing parts shortages and waiting lists that stretched for months. Several complaints also describe airbags that did not deploy in a crash, and a few say a warning light or a wiring problem in the seat/airbag circuit went unrepaired for lack of parts. Complaints vary in how the dealer responded: some report being told the car was fine to drive while waiting, others report being told no parts could be ordered. Filed throughout the sample across a wide mileage range, from nearly new vehicles to over 100,000 miles, often well after the recall letter arrived.

What to check: Confirm by VIN whether the driver and passenger inflator recalls were completed; ask for the repair paperwork rather than a verbal assurance, since replacements were done in stages.

“Takata recall . Ford refuses to fix, replace or buy-back my 2014 Mustang after 6 months of making payments and being unable to use the vehicle for its intended purposes. In a conversation with the dealer, they said to call Ford and I did today only to be told, in spite of federal law. They won't help. Can you?”
NHTSA complaint #10811599, filed 2015-12, 23,000 miles“I purchased this 2014 Mustang 11/15/2018, after doing the paperwork and before I took delivery the airbag light came on. I was told it's a sensor in drivers seat and would be a couple days. Then after that I was told it needed to go into a Ford dealer to be fixed on 11/28/2018. On this date I was told that it needs a harness for the driver seat airbag and that no dealer has the part and Ford hasn't manufactured any. …”
NHTSA complaint #11156081, filed 2018-12, 47,480 miles - Transmission and drivetrain
Unexpected downshift and limp mode (automatic)
- 35 complaints (10%)
- median 21,000 mi at 3.4 yrs old (29 state mileage)
- 1 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 2013–2026
Owners describe automatic cars dropping abruptly into a low gear while driving at speed, causing a hard jolt or sudden deceleration, sometimes with the check engine light and a limp mode that limits power. Repairs reported include a failed output speed sensor, a wheel speed sensor and lead frame, and one car that ceased shifting out of second gear. Some owners note the failure was intermittent. Mostly reported between roughly 50,000 and 175,000 miles, often at highway speeds.
What to check: On a test drive, note any harsh downshifts or warning lights; ask for service records showing speed sensor or valve body work.

“I was at a red light, light turns green, I take off in 1st gear and the car starts to hesitate. I try accelerating a little more, thinking that maybe I'm not giving it enough gas but it limped even harder. Then, the power train light comes on.”
NHTSA complaint #10924063, filed 2016-11, 23,000 miles“The car would loose power and not shift properly. After a year of trying to diagnose the trouble it was the output speed sensor. Finally got a trouble code. Ford recalled the 2011 & 2012 mustangs but not mine. The output speed sensor is the exact same part number for the recalled years and mine.”
NHTSA complaint #11408241, filed 2021-04, 52,000 miles - Steering
Power steering assist loss and AdvanceTrac warnings
- 28 complaints (8%)
- median 25,500 mi at 4.0 yrs old (24 state mileage)
- 6 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 2013–2025
Owners describe the power steering assist cutting out, sometimes with a Service AdvanceTrac message, leaving heavy steering effort at low or highway speed. A few report delayed or seized steering response and one reports the steering wheel separating from the column. Dealers reportedly attributed the problem to the battery in one case and quoted a steering gear replacement in another. Reported from a few thousand miles up to about 100,000 miles, frequently right after start-up.
What to check: Start the car and confirm no AdvanceTrac or power steering warning appears; ask whether the steering gear or electronic assist unit has been replaced.

“I was driving a 2014 Ford Mustang convertible from the long beach airport (rental) and lost steering on the freeway at about 60 MPH. I was in the far right lane and as I approached full speed, the car began to veer into the lane to the left of me. As I tried to correct, there was a delayed response by the steering mechanism by about 3-4 seconds. The car then veered back right, and again, another delayed response. I was veering widely between the width of two lanes while this was occurring. …”
NHTSA complaint #10522577, filed 2013-07, 6,000 miles“The vehicle has under 7,500 miles and a service advancetrac warning just came up on my commute to work this morning. Was driving on a nice road in downtown riverside and had no impact or other events prior to the light turning on. The vehicle's braking is not apparently inhibited. Ford states that this is out of warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #11014661, filed 2017-08, 7,500 miles - Air bags
Airbag warning light and seat/harness faults
- 48 complaints (13%)
- median 40,338 mi at 3.2 yrs old (32 state mileage)
- 25 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 2014–2026
Owners describe the airbag warning light coming on shortly after purchase and dealers diagnosing a seat sensor or a seat airbag harness. In at least one case the part was reportedly unavailable, leaving the car at the dealer for an extended period. Another complaint describes only the passenger side airbag deploying in a multi-impact crash. Reported from very low mileage up to around 50,000 miles, sometimes within days of taking delivery.
What to check: Check that the airbag light goes out after start-up and ask whether any seat sensor or harness repairs have been recorded.

“The car was making a dry pass by at a drag strip (non racing) while driving the car ignition cut off, causing a loss of control. Car hit rear quarter panel and then hit the front tire and suspension ripping the front bumper off. Driver was injured but not bad. Had car towed to a Ford dealer, where we were told we would have to pay $4,000 to have a Ford represenative look at, to determine cause for the car to shut off and air bags not deploy.”
NHTSA complaint #10636914, filed 2014-09, 3,800 miles“Was hit on passenger side and slammed in to barrier wall on the driver side and only the side airbag on the passenger side deployed. Had recall on airbag fixed but did not work”
NHTSA complaint #11390035, filed 2021-01, 50,000 miles - Transmission and drivetrain
Manual transmission vibration and hard shifting
- 19 complaints (5%)
- median 13,850 mi at 2.4 yrs old (16 state mileage)
- 1 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 2013–2022
Owners of manual cars describe a vibration or shake felt through the shifter, seat and steering wheel when decelerating or lifting off the throttle, and difficulty getting the car into gear, notably second and third. Several say the dealer called the vibration a known characteristic that would not cause long-term problems, and some report it worsening over time until gears became hard or impossible to select. Others describe gear lockout or a shudder when downshifting. Often present from new or under about 25,000 miles, sometimes worsening past 50,000 miles.
What to check: Drive a manual car through deceleration in second and third and try every gear; ask whether any transmission work was done and whether the vibration was documented.

“Every since I bought this 2014 Mustang gt with the getrag m-82 6 speed manual transmission it has had nothing but shifting problems third gear lock out, notche shifting since I've bought it is Ford ever going to recall and fix these transmission problems? This is my daily driver and it does it every day when I'm driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11328566, filed 2020-06, 54,000 miles“Purchased car new in 2014 and noticed vibration in transmission upon deceleration. I was informed by the dealer that this was a known issue but it was not going to cause and long term issues, after the warranty had expired I started experiencing shifting issues intermitently, I have contacted the dealer on several occasions as this has progessivley gotten worse to check for known issues or if they were going to do anything about it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11414317, filed 2021-04, 1,000 miles
Buying note. Verify that both airbag inflator recalls on this model year were completed before purchase, since parts availability drove long delays. On a test drive, pay attention to manual-transmission vibration and gear selection or automatic downshift behavior, and confirm the power steering and AdvanceTrac warnings stay off.
Summary written with AI from a sample of 60 NHTSA complaints for this model year (picked at random, with complaints that state a mileage and recent ones taken first), then checked automatically against the source records.

Example complaints
Air bags: “I have been trying for three months to get my local Ford dealership (freedom Ford of morgantown) to cooperate with me to get this safety recall done. It's apparent they would rather make money instead of fixing recalls. My vehicle does not see rain or snow.”
NHTSA complaint #11233787, filed 2019-07, 27,000 milesTransmission and drivetrain: “Having rear end whinning noise, Ford worked on rear end components 6 times now. The last repair they did the replaced housing and carrier- pretty much brand new rear end. I'm still having rear end noise and they refuse me of any further repairs. Vehicle is in motion when I hear this noise only when accelerating, as soon as I take my foot off the gas it stops. I have a long history of this problem with them in fords records.”
NHTSA complaint #11002412, filed 2017-06, 19,460 milesSteering: “Vehicle had an immediate loss of power steering when making a right hand turn. Vehicle continued to have no power steering for two blocks. Made it to my driveway turned the car off, restarted and then all was okay. Does not explain the sudden loss of power steering. Luckily I was in my residential neighborhood at 35mph”
NHTSA complaint #10861775, filed 2016-04, 5,198 milesEngine: “The water pump failed on the 3.7 v6 and there was a tsb16-0074 that has a check valve in it to prevent the failure of the water pumps. Problem was noticed when car had already pulled out of the garage. . There was a puddle of water under the front center of the car. My wife drove to the salon. I went there to check and add one gallon of antifreeze to the radiator overflow.”
