Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Since aprox 500 miles I have noticed a very consistent 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 modified at all and its completely wrong for them to say this noise is normal.”

I bought it brand new on march first of 2014, and I noticed the problem not too long after buying it; I assumed it was normal because my previous 2007 Mustang had the same issue. I told some friends who suggest I take it to Ford. When I was describing what the problem the service tech new exactly what it was. They had a recall for 2011 to 2013 mustangs for what appears to be the same issue. They repaired the lower arm controls in the front. The issue is now gone. …”
