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 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

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.

1. Trunk would not open. (We had to get this fixed so we got it fixed.) The wiring to the trunk was broken. Without a trunk that opens the convertible is pretty useless for anything but driving. Luckily we didn't have groceries inside when it stopped opening. I did call the FORD dealership (the 1st one) and was told to use the key to get it to open through the seats. The wiring was broken. Thank GOD no child had gotten in there! 2. 3rd Brake Light was not working. (We had to get this fixed so we got it fixed.) This is a hazard with a lower car. Other cars don't see you stopping without this feature. 3rd Brake light is also on that wiring harness and was fixed at the 2nd dealership. 3. Back-Up camera stopped working. (We wanted to get this fixed however, the cost was more than we had at the time.) It needs to be working. A person can see behind to back up. This is a safety issue for certain! We were told we would need to get another camera as it was also on the same wiring. This is a problem for backing up with a convertible that has a small window. If the top is down in good weather I can see, however, ..there is more driving done with the top up. 4. We also have had a problem with our heated/cooled seats. We were they were not on the same wiring. But, could be fixed for $$$. This was started last spring/summer. (2021) We have written FORD MOTOR Co. and they said there weren't problems with any of these items and they wouldn't be fixing them. Yes, there is a problem with them and they should be fixed.

This car has been in the shop and repaired almost every year since purchase for the same part/problem. The evaporator assembly has been completely replaced twice. The first time was 6 months after purchase and only 9000 miles on the car. The most recent time this part has went out, 11/23/2021, the cabin filled with smoke while I was driving. Smelled like a camp fire so I was concerned the car was on fire. I believe if I hadn-€™t pulled over, the car would-€™ve been engulfed in flames with me inside. This is a definite safety concern, and wonder why there has been no recall on this part. Especially if the car can actually catch fire. No check engine or warning lights appeared. Just a cabin full of smoke. Ford is now saying it-€™s the evaporator assembly, again, and it will cost $2600 to fix. I feel this should-€™ve been fixed the first time. This is an ongoing problem with this car from what I-€™ve read and believe Ford needs to do something about it. How many lives should it cost? Mine is worth more then $2600. Should be an easy fix for a multi billion dollar company!!!
