Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The weld on my clutch pedal broke while driving. This should be a safety recall because it could have caused an accident, death, or injury. The quality of the weld on the clutch pedal is very poor and seems to be a common issue. I was driving around 40mph when this happened. This makes the car inoperable due to the clutch shifting to one side preventing the vehicle to start normally.”
NHTSA complaint #11415380, filed 2021-05, 54,000 miles“At random times my drivers side window goes up and down about 1/2 inch. This happens when the car is in motion as well as when its parked. It happens when its running and when its not running. It happens with the keys in it and out of it. There's no rhyme or reason to it. Shortly after the window issue started I began having issues with the drivers side door locks. The doors lock on their own even with the keys in it. I also have issues trying to unlock the door. I have to try several times before it will actually unlock.”
NHTSA complaint #11228797, filed 2019-07, 32,000 miles“The vehicle came stock with perlli p zero 275/40/r19's summer tred on rear. I am an 80 year old driver and do not burnout nor race the vehicle. At 7,000 miles the tire tread had worn to the indicators to replace tires. This was noticed after the vehicle had done 180 degree loss of traction several times. I recently have replaced these tires with all season tires at 7250 miles. Please reflect the perllies are prone to very premature wear.* * * this characteristic may cause loss of control and serious injury, death, and property damage.* * * thank you”
NHTSA complaint #11033342, filed 2017-10, 7,000 miles“Well know issue with the Ford mustangs. My evaporator/condenser have failed before the vehicle hit 40k miles. No recall no sympathy from Ford just a 2200 dollar repair bill right after the warranty ended. Air no longer functions, electric fan runs all the time and the blower motor makes a painful noise on the defrost setting.”
NHTSA complaint #11413333, filed 2021-04, 38,974 miles“Cluster panel on my wife's 2017 eco boost Mustang completely went out and navigation screen went totally blank today 3/7/20 while driving from vero beach to melbourne fl to take a class.
