“On 11/27/21 I was driving my 2019 mustang GT convertible with approx 15,000 miles. While going around a curve (not at an excessive speed) on dry pavement, the car became uncontrollable and began to spin out. As much as I tried to brake and steer into the slide, the car became more and more uncontrollable and felt as though it were speeding up. I only came to a stop after slamming into a tree and rolling over to the other side of the road. Vehicle is a total loss. I was lucky and only suffered minor injuries, but it very easily could have been much worse. …”

“While driving at normal road speed, the vehicle suddenly displayed multiple warnings at the same time indicating that AdvanceTrac (electronic stability control), traction control, and ABS were disabled, and the vehicle entered a reduced functionality state. These warnings appeared simultaneously without any hard braking, loss of traction, or driver input at the time. The warnings and system faults then cleared in a cascading manner over a short distance, with each system returning one after another while continuing to drive, without shutting off the engine. …”
