2013 Mustang V6, 6R80 Automatic Transmission. Lead frame is failing, I am getting code P0720. My vin falls outside of the recall, so I have to spend $850 to get lead frame fixed. Airbag light turns on, dashes through my odometer, and car stays stuck in 5th gear until I cycle key.

My 2013 Ford mustang 2dr coupe is stalling losing power and engine is completely shutting down while I'm driving on the highway which could cause a fatal crash. The engine light and oil light comes on after this happens but the oil light eventually goes off. This recall is on several vehicles but not mine. The dealership has a week of waiting to take my car in. So in the meantime I have to put myself at risk and continue to drive my car. Something needs to change as to notifying use car owners of recalls.

I BOUGHT A USED 2013 V6 FORD MUSTANG USED IN AUGUST 2019. ALMOST SINCE THE BEGINING I'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT STALLING OUT. THE ENGINE ITSELF DOESN'T STOP RUNNING BUT THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION AND IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS IS PRESSED. THIS HAS MOSTLY HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN NOT MOVING. IT HAS HAPPENED MOSTLY WHILE ON CITY STREETS. THIS HAS TODAY I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PUT A CODE READER ON THE PORT AND RECEIVED THE CODE "P2111 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK OPEN." I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS ALLEGED WITH THE 2005-2012 FORD ESCAPE VEHICLE.

MY 2013 FORD MUSTANG FEELS AS IF IT DROPS INTO 1ST GEAR WHILE AT A SPEED OF 40 TO 60 MPH FEELS AS IF THE CAR BRAKES ON ITS OWN RPMS WILL GO UP BUT SPEEDOMETER WILL BE ON 0 MPH. I THINK THE F 150 IS HAVING A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND MY MUSTANG DOES HAVE THE V6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
