Purchased a 2018 Ford Mustang sport edition and twice now once at about 15,000 miles and again at 20,000 miles, I lose half my power and the orange wrench light comes on. Ford has had my car for 4 days and does not know the cause of the problem.

My check engine light came on while on cruise control on the interstate going 80mph on a 75 and a few seconds after the check engine light came on, the car shut off and locked up and caused me to lose control. Car was taken to a dealership, and the entire bottom end was torn apart and a few engine components were replaced. After receiving the vehicle back from the dealership the vehicle continues to have electrical and engine problems. The car will at random times shut off while driving, main times is the freeway. Second issue is the car has loud knocking to the engine, sounds like a lifted knock, the car was taken to a dealership, and my car was next to a same year Mustang to compare sound and mine was definitely knocking compared to the other Mustang. Third issue is there is a constant squealing sound like a lose belt coming from the back side of the engine (this recently started) and the fourth issue is when I'm coming down to a stop or slowing down even without touching the breaks there is a metal clinging sound that doesn't stop until the car comes to a complete stop. The car only has 17K miles and is never abused, and has always been properly maintained.

I purchased a new 2018 Ford Mustang 2 dr 4 cyl ecoboost on July 9th 2018. On August 15, after having dinner with parents at the house, I went to visit some friends in davie and it was aprox 7:45 pm while driving on a 4 lane road divided by a median. Road has frequent speedbumps and the median has mature trees. While traveling on this road - I felt nauseous and placed both hands on the steering wheel and suddenly the road became blurry and I lost conciousness and struck a tree in the median. The car caught on fire and according to a police officer, he tried to revive me and to help me get out, however my legs were broken and injured. My right leg was broken and my left leg was badly injured. I was wearing a high boot on the left foot and no boot on the right foot in order to be able to drive comfortably. Seconds after the police officer removed me from the car, the car exploded. I believe that I was sold a defective car that leaked poisenous gases which caused me to pass out and crash I to a tree. Had it not been for the police officer, I would have died trapped in the burning car.
