Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Had a flat tire and did not have a spare. So, I had the car towed to a service station to have the tire repaired. Then I bought a Ford spare tire kit for my 2015 Mustang and discovered the lug wrench did not fit the lugs on the car. The dealer stated the lugs on the car had to be replaced and I was responsible for the cost ($127.20). Since this is a latent defect, query why Ford is not responsible for replacing the lugs.”

NHTSA complaint #11016321, filed 2017-08, 8,500 miles“Ford has failed to make a spare wheel/tire available for the 2015 Mustang. It is not standard on all vehicles (a tire inflation kit is all it comes with) and the spare wheel/tire is on back order for all dealerships because supply is low and production is being prioritized over owner availability. Therefore, I am stuck without a spare wheel/tire. I have even tried to procure an aftermarket spare and 3 different tire stores have told me they do not have a compatible spare available. …”
NHTSA complaint #10702036, filed 2015-03, 7,000 miles“Bought a 2015 Mustang gt feb 28 at 9pm with 19200 miles on it. March 1 I noticed the car had 3 different tires brands on it. The car pulls bad to the left under acceleration, when you let off the gas it pulls right. Laurel Ford did a 4 wheel alignment on the car and it still pulls. Now they say it is the struts and the orded 2 new ones for the frount. I think it is the tires not the struts but they won't replace the tires because they would haft to pay for them. They only want to replace parts that warranty will pay for. They said no way they would pay for 4 new tires. …”
