Example complaints

“It's the 4th time in the last 3 weeks that the passenger door which is locked just opens on its own. I start to hear the air hissing and I get a door open alarm in the dashboard. Scary because 2x it was while on I -4 and almost lost control of the car trying to figure out what was happening and trying to reach for the door.”
NHTSA complaint #11754318, filed 2026-08“The Mustang window is supposed to retract approximately 1/2 when the door is opened or shut. My vehicle does this BUT the window will not return to the fully closed position when the door is shut. This is a safety Hazzard as the window tries to fully close but then goes down a 1/2 and returns to fully closed repeatedly while I am driving; this leads to driver distraction on the road, a very hazardous situation. It also leaves the vehicle vulnerable to theft as with the window 1/2 down it is very easy for a thief to stick in a wire and activate the automatic door unlocks.”
NHTSA complaint #11578073, filed 2024-03“The contact owns a 2022 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that the convertible top required excessive force to be opened or closed.
