The contact's husband owns a 2015 Ford Mustang. The contact while reversing, the rearview camera image was distorted and black. The contact stated that the failure had increased, causing the rearview camera to become inoperable. Additionally, the contact stated that the tailgate had failed to open while using the key fob, while pressing the tailgate release switch inside the cabin and the release button on the decklid. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the decklid wiring harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V082000 (Back Over Prevention) because the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

A plastic clip ("Brake Pedal Bumper") broke and fell out of place, causing the brake pedal to no longer reach the brake light switch. The brake lights now remain illuminated permanently, even with the brakes released. This also caused the engine and transmission to go into "limp mode", the engine no longer revving over 2,000 RPM, the transmission not shifting, and hill-start assist and traction control no longer working, making the car unsafe to drive. The brake lights will remain on even when the car is completely shut off and locked, draining and damaging the battery. It is my understanding that this is a known issue, and there was a recall for this in certain states. (Safety Recall 22S02, Regional Recall 22R01). There should be a national recall for this, as the affected part appears to be of low quality, and causes safety issues when it fails, with the car's drivability and lighting affected.

Third tail light and rear tail lights remained illuminated after the car was turned off. Driver discovered the brake light switch (rubber/plastic piece) had crumbled into the floor board preventing the tail lights from turning off, thus, becoming a hazard to other motorists on the road as the tail lights remained illuminated even while driving. While the vehicle was being driven, the driver could not accelerate to the appropriate speeds as the car was "thinking" the brakes were being applied and could only approximately drive at 40-50 MPH. The vehicle has been inspected and the above information was confirmed as the issue. No other warnings/messages occurred prior to the piece breaking.

- Shelbyville, TN, USA
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that the local dealer had previously marked the NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V082000 (Back Over Prevention) recall repair as completed because no failure was found upon inspection of the vehicle. The contact stated that the trunk later failed to open, and the trunk emergency release mechanism was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, where it was diagnosed that the deck lid wiring harness had failed, and the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V082000 (Back Over Prevention). The dealer sent a diagnostic report to the manufacturer; however, the manufacturer declined to cover the repair. The manufacturer informed the dealer that another dealer had already marked the recall as complete upon inspection of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 15,600.

The little rubber pad that it attached to the brake pedal disintegrated. Without that pad the vehicle goes into limp mode and won-??t drive over 40. Don-??t know why the brake switch is connected to other electronics in the vehicle that would make it go into limp mode. Very unsafe while driving on the highway.

The plastic break switch pad broke when I was driving on the highway. I lost engine power and RPMs were erratic. Brake lights would not turn off even when brakes were not applied. I could not excellorate normally or maintain speed. Upon examination the pad was brittle and yellowing. There is already a safety recall for this part but only in certain states that does not include Arizona.
