Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“On April 6th, the AC in the car began stalling and a few days after the engine started making all sorts of noise and failing and ultimately stopped working. I kept the car in my garage until I was able to obtain the money to replace the engine. I just yesterday picked up my car from the shop that replaced the engine (where I paid $13,000). The car is back in the shop and having same stalling issues.”

NHTSA complaint #11681540, filed 2025-08

“While driving approximately 45 mph and entering a highway, my 2022 Ford Mustang GT California Special suddenly lost power and shut off completely. The engine stalled without warning, creating a dangerous situation with surrounding traffic. I had to coast the vehicle and restart it. This vehicle has an open safety recall (NHTSA Recall Number 25V455 / Ford Recall 25S75) related to a low-pressure fuel pump failure that can cause engine stalling while driving. The recall has been open for several months, and there is currently no available remedy or repair from the manufacturer. …”

Had to do repairs at top part of engine for timing chain guides not lubed correctly. brought back 1000 miles after due to a ticking noise ( ford says typewriter tick normal after oil change ) Vehicle has 2,477 miles on it with a very loud ticking noise and ford says no fix NORMAL been to two dealers and changed oil 3 times and each time gets louder. For a 50k plus vehicle this is unacceptable”

NHTSA complaint #11583644, filed 2024-04

“The vehicle is a 2022 Ford Mustang EcoBoost. While driving in traffic, the engine suddenly stalled and shut off without warning. This created an immediate safety risk as the vehicle lost power in the middle of active traffic flow, requiring me to quickly maneuver to avoid blocking traffic and potential collision. The issue appears consistent with a fuel delivery or fuel pressure failure, as the engine restarted immediately after the stall. Prior to this incident, the vehicle had shown intermittent warning signs including check engine light activation and suspected misfire-related alerts. …”
