Door lock not secure. It has happened a few times, usually on the highway, where the passenger side door has opened slightly while driving, causing the opened door light to come on. The door is visibly cracked opened, but it is still locked.

The weld that holds the clutch pedal broke causing the clutch pedal to not engage properly. Which led to not being able to shift gears which left the car unable to drive and left the stranded on the side of the road. The weld that hold the clutch pedal in place is insufficient and weak. While researching this issue I found many instances where this has happened to other drivers.

In October 2021 I attended my sisters funeral in Dallas Tx while in the parking lot I went to back up and backed into my Sons vehicle. No insurance claim was filed but I did pay out of pocket for the damage which was $2800. At the time I was unaware of the safety recall. My car still has no reverse camera clock or temperature reading and tpms system is failing as well. Last October I took the car to Johnston Ford in New Boston Texas. They kept the car for two and a half hours and fixed nothing. I repeatedly call back and always say they will return my call but to no avail. Please help I am lost without my reverse camera

The REAR VIEW CAMARA has STOPPED WOKING COMPLETELY rendering it UNSAFE when backing up.
- Miami, FL, USA
The rear view camera randomly became unavailable after starting the car. Restarting the car did the fix it. In my online research, it is said that the cause is a faulty wiring harness that Ford used between 2014 and 2017, which would affect my car (2015).

Door unlatches while on highway. Incident has been occurring sporadically during my husbands commute to work. However we both drove vehicle out of town on 5 hour road trip and it unlatched 4 times on 4/15/23 and 1 time on 4/16/23. Vendor says this VIN is not covered by recall for same issue. Online forum suggests this is happening to other owners for several model years of similar mustang convertibles

Hello. I'm waiting for the repair, but I have booked this car as part of my business and provision for my family. How can I know when it will be repaired? Ford has to fix it. Regards [XXX] USA&BR DEAL LLC INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

My vehicle is often showing a "service Advancetrac" warning, another warning that the hill start assist is disabled, and simultaneously the antilock brake warning light and the seatbelt warning light on the dashboard will light up. When this happens, the traction control shuts down and steering becomes more difficult. It seems to be a sensor malfunction or a problem with the powertrain control module, which would be consistent with NHTSA campaign no. 22V382, which was issued for newer model Mustangs.

Backup camera doesn't work. Received a recall letter from Ford but when I brought the car in for repairs they checked it and got it working. Three days later it again stopped working. They said that even though I received a recall letter from Ford the backup camera is not covered by the recall.

Evap Core has a small leak, which Ford is aware of being defective-??. this causes a small leak of Freon/Refrigerant to enter the cabin thru the a/c vents in the vehicle while driving and can cause some dizziness and you can loose focus and can cause an accident.
