2014 FORD MUSTANG Experiencing exact same issues as when car is parked and shifting into the gear intended by the driver. That could cause the vehicle to roll away or move in an "unexpected direction". This is the same issue as the recall issued for other Ford vehicles: (but 2014 Ford Mustang is not listed) 2013-2019 Escape 2013-2018 C-Max 2013-2016 Fusion 2013-2021 Transit Connect 2015-2018 Edge "A damaged or missing bushing may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear, and cause the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction," the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in a statement. "Additionally, the vehicle may roll after the driver selects the 'Park' position. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash or injury." My daughter had several near missed with this safety issue - and when I asked for diagnostics the dealer wanted to charge $ 139.99 plus taxes. The recall needs to be issue to include : 2014 FORD MUSTANG

Door latch failure caused by high heat environment, vehicle initially purchased in the state of Arizona. When the door is attempted to be closed it will either bounce open catching on a latch jammed in the closed position, or when closed it will effortlessly push open without the need to engage the door handle. Ford Corporate told me this would be a free recall service, but when I showed up for my appointment the DGDG dealer attempted to charge me $200 for a diagnostic. I don't need a diagnostic I know what's wrong, I don't appreciate being lied to or taken for a fool.

THE RADIO MADE A LOUD BOOM. SPOOKED ME OUT AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WREAK. THE RADIO CONTINUES TO DO LOUD BOOMS AND DOES NOT MAKE ANY NOISE. I HAVE RESEARCHED IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND YES THERE ARE MANY WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE RADIO WILL ONLY FLASH TIME AND WILL NOT PLAY SOUND. I USE THE RADIO FOR THE HANDLESS LAW PASSED LAST YEAR. I ALSO USE IT TO TELL ME WHERE TO GO. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

AIR CONDITIONING / VENT SYSTEMS. AC STOPPED WORKING, JUST PRIOR WHEN I USED MY DEFOGGER I NOTICED A FILM ON MY WINDSHIELD. AFTER IT STOPPED THIS FILM WAS SO MASSIVE, I WAS IN SERIOUS RAIN STORM AND I COULD NOT SEE OUT, I HAD TO REALLY OPEN WINDOWS WITH RAIN POURING IN TO GET FILM OFF, I HAD PROB DRIVING WITH WINDOW OPENED SO MUCH I CLOSED TO A QUARTER, AND AGAIN THE FILM CAME BACK ONLY THIS TIME I HIT FLOODING ON I-75 SHORTLY BEFORE MY EXIT, CAUSING ME TO SWERVE INTO THE PATH OF A TRACTOR TRAILER, THANK GOD FOR MANUAL I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT AND ESCAPE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED FORD AND I ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT, THERE WAS A FEE OF WHICH I JUST DIDN'T HAVE AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COME OFF REPAIR BILL WHICH WOULD BE $2000.00 MY WARRANTY ONLY EXPIRED THE MONTH PRIOR. UNBELIEVABLE! I HAVE DONE LOADS OF RESEARCH, AND HAVE SEEN WAY TOO MANY MUSTANGS OF VARIOUS YEARS AND SPOKE WITH OWNERS AND ALL OF US HAVE SAME EXACT ISSUE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS AND ALL FORD SAYS IS "IT HAPPENS". THIS IS NOT A COMFORT ISSUE BUT A SERIOUS CONDITION THAT CAN GET SOMEONE KILLED IF THEY NEED THEIR FOGGER. CAN YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS I HAVE PUT UP A WEBSITE AND AM BEGINNING TO COLLECT SIGNATURES FOR PROOF. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING MINOR WITH SO MANY VEHICLES WITH EXACT SAME ISSUES. ALL WE ASK IS THAT YOU CONTACT MUSTANG OWNERS AND INVESTIGATE. ALL COMPLAINTS INVOLVE FOLLOWING REPAIRS, LEAKING ANTIFREEZE AND FOGGING ON WINDSHIELD, REPAIRING COMPRESSORS, EVAPORATORS, SEALS, ETC.

WATER CLOGGED UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT OF FORD MUSTANG 2014 CONVERTIBLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY PARKED IN FRONT OF HOME ALONG THE CURB FOR 15-20 DAYS AND ITS RAINY SEASON IN CALIFORNIA. A PUDDLE IS FORMED ON THE LEFT SIDE UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. CAR WAS PARKED DOWNHILL SO WATER ACCUMULATED IN THE FRONT. IT'S BECAUSE OF THE WATER WHICH GETS ACCUMULATED OVERTIME IN THE LEFT/DRIVER DOOR IN SOME MODELS OF MUSTANG. OVERTIME, IT CROSSES THRESHOLD AND STARTS LEAKING INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IDEALLY, WATER SHOULD BE DRAINED AUTOMATICALLY. BUT TO REMOVE WATER FROM DOOR YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE BLACK PLUG AT BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. AND NO WAY TO REMOVE WATER FROM INSIDE OF THE CAR. IT POTENTIALLY CAUSES SERIOUS DAMAGE TO INTERNALS OF CAR AND MOLDS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS PEOPLE FACING THIS ISSUE AND ITS COMMON IN SOME MUSTANGS. IT'S CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED. HTTPS://MUSTANGFORUMS.COM/FORUM/3-7L-V6-TECHNICAL-DISCUSSIONS/696287-WATER-SLOSHING-AROUND-INSIDE-DRIVER-S-DOOR.HTML

TAKATA RECALL - WE HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS LETTERS, POSTCARD AND EMAILS ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL AND WE HAVE TRIED, UNSUCCESSFULLY NUMEROUS TIMES TO SET UP A DATE AND TIME FOR THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT WITH OUR DEALERSHIP. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE TO SEVERAL PEOPLE TELLING THE ISSUES REPEATEDLY TO EACH PERSON I SPOKE TO. I WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER I WAS TOLD WHOM DID NOT ANSWER AND I LEFT A VERY DETAILED MESSAGE REGARDING THE REASON FOR MY CALL, THE SPECIFICS OF THE CAR AND MULTIPLE WAYS TO CONTACT MYSELF OR MY FIANCE. I HAVE HAD TO CALL SEVERAL MORE TIMES DIE TO NOT RECEIVING ANY RETURN CALL FROM ANYONE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A MONTH. I HAVE LOOKED TO SEE IF I COULD SCHEDULE AND APPOINTMENT ONLINE AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THAT OPTION AVAILABLE. THEREFORE I HAVE HAD TO TAKE TIME AWAY FROM OTHER OBLIGATIONS TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP TO COMPLAIN TO ATTEMPT TO HAVE THIS REMEDIED. INITIALLY THEY WERE RECEPTIVE AND NOW FOUR DAYS LATER THEY HAVE REVERTED BACK TO FAILING TO RETURN MY PHONE CALLS. I HAVE ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH CORROSION ON THE BATTERY AND THE BATTERY WIRE CABLES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. DESPITE MAKING THE DEALERSHIP AWARE OF THIS THEY HAVE FAILED TO TAKE ANY STEPS TO EVEN DETERMINE THE ISSUE. ADDITIONALLY, MY SECURITY SYSTEM ON MY CAR WAS APPARENTLY BYPASSED BY THIEVES AND I HAVE TALKED TO THE TOP BOSS OF THIS DEALERSHIP AND HE HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE SECURITY SYSTEM IS IN FACT DISABLED AND THAT WITHOUT THEM RUNNING A DIAGNOSTICS TEST ON THE CAR THEY CANNOT DETERMINE TO WHAT EXTENT THE SECURITY SYSTEM IS DAMAGED, IF IT IS REPARABLE, OR IF THERE MAY BE MORE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE COMPUTER / ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. MY SECURITY SYSTEM HAS BEEN NON-FUNCTIONAL FOR A MONTH AT THIS POINT AND I CANNOT GET THE DEALERSHIP TO SIMPLY RETURN MY CALL TO REMEDY THIS.

AIR CONDITIONER CLUTCH CATASTROPHICALLY FAILED AT 52000 MILES. THIS CREATES A VISIBILITY PROBLEM WHEN THE INTERIOR WINDSHIELD IS FOGGED UP AS IT CANNOT BE PROPERLY DEFOGGED WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE SECOND MAJOR COMPONENT TO FAILURE ON THIS VEHICLE IN 5 WEEKS, AS THE WATER PUMP WENT OUT AUGUST 10TH WHILE DRIVING AND DUMPED ALL THE COOLANT, QUICKLY OVERHEATING THE MOTOR.
