Ford Mustang Reviews

I’ve just bought Mustang Ecoboost 2018 with special order. It has only 400 miles on it and there is annoying noise from front driver side. It sounds like a air flow/ leakage but since I am not a mechanic I cannot say that it is not something more serious. I took the car to FORD FAIRWAY GREENVILLE, SC since it is under warranty at the moment to fix it. Car stayed there all day. Feedback was this noise is characteristic for these cars!!! It is brand new car!!! I have driven different Mustang before buying this car at another dealer and that car had no noise like that at all! They tried to create some excuses that they contacted Ford engineer...bla...bla...bla. They even did not tape or try to make more diagnosis on the car at all.

Purchased my 2018 Mustang GT in December and the LCD Panel went out first week in February. Was told part was on backorder and that it would not be available until April. Was given Ford Edge loaner and was really unhappy about that given I purchased a slick Mustang GT for a reason. I have escalated this issue to Ford Exec Offices and they are yet to respond. Just want all to be aware of this issue!

I have been looking for a locking gas cap or locking gas cover door for my 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost, including the local Ford dealership and aftermarkets. I have not been able to find any caps or doors. It has been almost three years since this car was made. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

We purchased our new Mustang from Hastings Ford in Greenville, NC in Nov 2017 for my Wifes Birthday. This was our fourth Mustang and we really loved the Mustang until this purchase. On Dec 13th 2017 my Wife was driving in a 20 MPH zone and made a right turn at almost a stop and the accelerator suddenly sped up on its own which caused her to go up on the curb and hit a building. The car stopped and she put it in reverse and it did it again. She finally turned the car off. We had it towed to the body shop, we checked the car mat and it did not cause the problem. The body shop took it to a local Ford dealer and they checked the computer and stated that there were no codes listed. We researched and it states that if the throttle body fails that there would be no code sent.

2016 Mustang GT Premium currently has 40,000 miles. 1st Issue - At around 15,000 miles the stereo head unit started glitching and skipping music while connected to my son's iPhone or my iPhone either by Bluetooth or cable. My son brought it into the Santa Cruz, CA Ford dealer 4 times where they updated the software a few times and changed the entire head unit, still with no resolution.

2015 Ford Mustang V6 - A/C evap coil is broken, AGAIN! 1st one replaced at 19k, under warranty. Second one replaced at 40k, not under warranty. (The part # is 19850.*, where * is the version. My first replacement was version W, My second replacement is version Y. They started on version A.). Thanks a lot Ford.

The evaporator cores of Ford Mustangs are defective. The company knows about it, but is definitely not warning consumers. While my Mustang Ecoboost is a 2016, it appears that this defect is hitting 2015-2017 models. My evaporator core started leaking shortly after my warranty expired - around the 37,000/2.5 year mark. I am now on the hook for $1.7K. Replacing the evaporator core requires tearing into the dash and putting it back together... a full day's work for 2 technicians. I was told by my dealership that they have seen many Ford cars and trucks with this problem. They knew right away what was going on... and of course never mentioned it to me during my routine service appointments. But, I digress.

I was extremely excited when I purchased my 2015 model Mustang as a birthday present to myself on June 19th, 2015 because this was my first "NEW" vehicle purchase. Here I am on a HOT SUMMER LOUISIANA DAY WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING! I was told that the car basic warranty expired, so there's nothing that they can do about it, and I'm extremely dissatisfied! I should not have to pay to get a 2015 model vehicle air conditioning repaired! This is absolutely too early for drastic maintenance as such!

I love this car. I bought it last year and currently has 22k miles. It has that many miles on it because my daughter and I took a four thousand mile cross country trip on Route 66 to California. It did amazing on the drive through the deserts of New Mexico, Arizona and the Mojave in California and the mountains in Utah and Colorado. We were even in the mountains in Yosemite. Never had a single problem and still love my car.

Ok here is my beef for the Ford Mustangs. Back in 2015 I had a Fiesta. I took it in for a oil change. Before I left a salesman had pressured me into buying a 2016 V6 Mustang. Beautiful car to say the least but a piece of ** mechanically. Here is my story. Not too long after buying the car it left me stranded on the side of the road at night all alone and scared to death. I had to have it towed into the Ford dealership. They said it was the electronic throttle body, fixed it, but I notice the AC kept surging in and out and every time it was on it would pull down the performance of the car really bad. Finally they had to replace the fan motor. Then the thing would vibrate the whole dash board and sound horrible, so just this week the car once again stranded me but this time it cut off with me in incoming traffic and almost got me in a bad wreck.

Got a 2017 Mustang GT - 4months ago. 3 weeks ago and 520 miles the car won't start. (Thank goodness for the place in the cup holder where you place the key and start that way.) Now our 4th trip to shop. The key fob still doesn't work, no backup camera, no radio. Told the battery amps. were low. Told problem was fixed. Drove home 13 miles same problem - going back to the shop on Monday-- Never again.

I am the unhappy owner of a 2010 Ford Mustang. Five weeks ago my car started cutting out/dying with no indicators or service lights sometimes while stopped and other while driving. It has currently been sitting at Plantation Ford for the last ten days. Prior to that it was in/out 4 times for the same issue. They have replaced parts. Released the car to me only to have the same issue the same day or a few days later. They have replaced the O2 Sensor, then another trip was the ERP value, which turned out to be defective. It was replaced all of this at my expense. Along with no vehicle and having to Uber to/from work. Finally, after it was determined the part was defective. It was replaced then they realize it was the PCM that was bad all along Then they agreed to put me in a rental. A few days into the rental, I was sent a text message to return the rental and pick up my car. Because the part was on backorder and wouldn't be available until August.

In December of 2011, my wife realized a life-long dream: ownership of a Ford Mustang. At the ripe old age of 57, I purchased our first (and only) brand-new vehicle - a base model V6 Mustang. This being our only brand-new vehicle ever, I was looking forward to years of reliable driving but purchased the extended service contract anyway for peace of mind. Probably the smartest thing I ever did in my life. We babied that car. Kept it garaged, polished and very well maintained. Used only premium fuel. Exceeded all the maintenance schedules/requirements. Minor issues were taken care of immediately. Drove it modestly. I'm too old to race around like a lunatic abusing the drivetrain.

I bought a 2015 EcoBoost Mustang Convertible - 50-year limited edition package. I special ordered my car. Waited an extra month for it, my car has been in the shop 5 times and it's not even 2 years old to me yet. So, the problem is the passenger seat belt doesn't retract and gets stuck in the door jam, last year when I brought it to their attention they changed the seat belt that worked for a month. It's now back in the shop and they say there is nothing wrong with it, just take it out of the feeder and that should stop the problem. There is also the problem that the seat belt comes across my neck and not my chest, I'm 5'3, my sister and spouse are 5'8 and they both have the same problem. I believe the problem is the feeder is too high on the seat but I'm not an engineer and Ford told me there has been no other complaints regarding the seat belt.

I bought my car in May 2016, and I was very happy with it, but short after the issues began. The radio has some kind glitch that you have no access of any function of the radio's panel. Again, only once I managed to bring the car to dealer when the problem was active, and they just hard reset the unit. The problem seemed to be fixed at that time, but couple days later it happened again. Since then I could never take the car to dealer and reciprocate the problem, so they say "nothing is wrong with it". Again, until today I still have the same issue with the unit. Now, the car has been in service 6 times and only has 16000 miles on it. Now to add to all this nonsense, the trunk lid was touching the passenger taillight and scratching the trunk's inside lid. I brought the car to dealership around August 2016 to be fixed. Now, June 2017 it is doing the exactly same thing. So, I guess wasn't really fixed.

We purchased a 2017 Ford Mustang GT with cloth interior on 4/7/2017 from Planet Ford in Spring TX. Since day 1 I could smell fumes that would make my eyes burn, and my husband started getting headaches that wouldn't stop, felt lethargic, always tired and couldn't concentrate. We brought the car to the dealership where we purchased it and it is still there over a week later. They can smell it also. In fact 1 of the service advisors said it was so bad he could taste it. We have contacted Ford Corporate and have been contacted by the Regional Manager. Hopefully the dealership agrees to take care of this situation. My husband has no more symptoms since he has been driving a rental car. If you are experiencing the same thing, please contact Ford Corporate, these chemicals being used in the interior of these cars are dangerous and life threatening.

My 2015 Ford Mustang has broken AC in just 1.5 years. Thank God it still has warranty. Fix it and sell trade off is the only option. Their service ever since we bought the car has been very rude. Their salesperson calls me to extend warranty and says I have only one time offer to extend warranty and I say, "I have to consult with my husband." He says, "You can after you have paid activation charges and there will be 30 days to consult while underwriting occurs and if you choose otherwise we will refund." I said, "Not possible without consulting." He hangs on me. They call me and hang on me.

For anyone contemplating on purchasing a Ford Mustang, or any other Ford vehicle, I highly recommend you search other options first. I purchased a BRAND NEW Ford Mustang about two months ago, 1,500 miles in and nothing but issues. I have taken the car to the dealer I purchased it at and they act like it is a joke and couldn't care less about me or my brand new pile of junk. I have taken this car in to three different Ford dealers, explained the transmission issues, and they claim they will try to fix it but have yet to find a solution. The car makes crazy noises going from park to drive, park to reverse, drive to reverse and reverse to drive. To make things worse, on the highway the car will be unresponsive to the throttle, I can floor it and it will not pick up speed.

Found a big puddle of coolant on my garage floor underneath the engine of my 2014 Ford Mustang. The car is only 38 months old and has just under 37K. Had a local mechanic look at it thinking it may just be a leaking hose. Nope, they ran a full diagnostic and did a pressure check to find out that the water pump was leaking. They documented with photos and a report and advised me to bring it into Ford being that it would be covered under the powertrain warranty. After Ford Service looked at it they claimed there was no leak to the water pump, but advised me that the air conditioning system was leaking, which was not under warranty and would be an $800 fix. Decided to forego the air fix and just drive the piece of crap with no air for a while. Remember, just under $37K. Had to e-mail Ford the local mechanics report and photos to convince them something was wrong with the water pump. Waiting to hear back what has been done.

I have owned my Mustang EcoBoost for 2 years and I really can't complain aside from the depreciation and some hiccups with the dealer. Aesthetically the car is great. I love the look of the 50 years edition grill and the performance pack rims that match the black paint perfectly. I daily drive my car and I have taken it up and down from NorCal to SoCal twice now so it has seen some road. The car gets decent gas mileage especially for making 300ish HP. The computer does exaggerate on the gas mileage though. It says I average 27 MPG when it's really closer to 25 MPG when I do the math (again not a really big issue).

Bought a 2016 GT Mustang. Bad vibration on freeway, drove it for 4 months. Like that ends up driveshaft out of alignment. It's clunking really hard when shifted from reverse to drive. Dealership can't duplicate so they say there's no problem. They aligned it still clunks. Shout out to Ryan of Norco, CA. I also had the Cilajet applied. My poor black car was totally swirl marked because of it. I know black is a pain but they ruined the paint job. All they want to do is get it buffed out. Heck no that will add more swirls. When they sold me the Cilajet they said I wouldn't have to wax it for yrs. 2 weeks later I had to buy wax. RRR. Also at 1 year the air conditioner broke & I guess they have to rip the dash off, take out front seats. Well 6 days later they get it all back together, broke the windshield doing it & put holes in the dash where the side of your knee hits.

After reading about other owners' problems with the Ford corrosion issues the consumer needs to stay away from the Ford product until they address the current issue we are experiencing. They have known about this issue since 2004. The real truth is they know and refuse to do anything to protect the buyer - period. Let us stand together for once. I have a nice vehicle that looks like crap because of product failure!

My wife and I bought this 2015 Mustang Ecoboost March 11, 2015. We drove it and notice the odor smell of gasoline. We went back to the dealer and inform them about the problem. They said probably when the staff over spill the gas. So accepted it. Then months and months still the same. So went back to the dealer to inform them about it. Finally they arranged the schedule to find out causing the bad odor of gas inside the car. To make the story short we will return the car on 2nd year lease and we already bought the 2017 RS CAMARO and we don't smell any gas odor. But in fairness to FORD MUSTANG 2015 I love the style and performance but the only issue we experience is the bad odor gas inside the car.

Bought a 2016 Mustang GT with pp. Fell in love with it the day I saw it. Two days after driving it noticed it had a loud thump when putting in 1st gear, and then into 2nd, and then into 3rd. Took it back to Ford. They said "we cannot do anything because it is the way it was designed at the factory." "So it is design flaw" I said and they said yes, but still not going to do anything about. Called and emailed Ford. Got some runaround for about 5 or 6 emails. They would not say it was a design flaw outright but they hinted it might be. So they said "we are looking into it." That was 5 months ago. No more emails, no more calls, no more anything. But I am going to guess if it was their new GT that sells for over 200 grand they would not let it leave the factory.

I bought the 2016 v6 Mustang car at the end of May 2016 from Galpin Ford (#1 dealer in the U.S.). Less than four months and 7800 miles, the car failed while driving it. Sudden and total power loss, nearly rear-ended in traffic. I re-started the car and noticed serious mechanical noise from the top end of the engine. Classic lifter/tapper noise. Car had to be towed through 50 miles of mountain roads. Ford would not tow it to where I bought it, but only to the closest dealership. Now, they are talking about providing a loaner car (funny. they loaned me a v6 and a v4 for consecutive weekends when they wanted to sell it to me). Stay tuned for more updates. I have ZERO CONFIDENCE in a car that fails after less than 120 days of ownership. I want either a new car or a full refund.

Bought a new 2016 Ford Mustang V6 back on 9/18/2016. 26k/mi. Out the gate, I had issues with the ECM & the rev's just dropping a few hundred RPM's every 30 seconds but multiple people have told me this is normal. Personally, I don't think it should be. Then came my first gas tank fill up. Now this is an odd issue, I don't think I've seen reported anywhere else but I had to manually hold the handle for the entire fill-up. I don't know what I was thinking but I let that go on for months before having it fixed. Not sure what they did, think they replaced the throttle body and some seals to correct the pressurization issue within the gas tank. Really wasn't a big gripe because I could fill up at certain pumps without issue & I just frequented those particular pumps.

I own 2014 Ford Mustang V6. Today I had bad experience. After work I was trying to go home. After warmed up my Mustang, I put the drive gear. I slowly moved with idle and I had to turn for getting out of the parking lot. But all of sudden the brake was not working and sponged, so I hit a car. My car got damaged and I had to towed. That is not right and if I would be in highway it could happened more and more dangerous. The Ford Motor Company has to find out what's going on with all the Mustang from now!!!

Failure at 65K, out of warranty at 36K, unacceptable, pull out the whole dash to replace. On top of that, new evaporator out of stock and backordered for a month. Sure is hot in July in Florida! Had to rent a car for that period of time waiting for part to come in. $553.00 for part alone. Ford customer service said best line of recourse is with dealer Service department. The dealer was very fair waving the $1200.00 service bill. Still no response from Ford to cover rental car $665.00 and part. For a car less than 2 years old what a mistake. Evaporator backordered and out of stock, Hmmm, am I the only one with this problem? This will be the last Ford if this is not set straight. Camaro! Hmmm.

First I saw this car I was amazed how beautiful it looks... Eye catcher, compliments everywhere. I bought it March 11th, 2015. By March 27th my car got flooded with rain on the passenger's side. Took it to service, they took 2 days fixing the main window seals... April 15th my car was full of water again. They didn't do anything to fix it. Took it again to service and finally fix it. By May, the radio and Bluetooth stopped working. 2 more days getting serviced... Was working until now August 22nd, 2016. The radio - Bluetooth - rear view camera - stopped working. The AC unit is not working. They told me the evaporators in the new mustangs are failing and need to be replaced. Is going to take 3-4 weeks, come on.

This was my dream car. It's been a nightmare situation from day 2. I was called to come back in because I wasn't approved. They told me I needed a cosigner. My cosigner got there (I put 6500 down) and then they said I didn't need one after all. Embarrassing inconvenience. Now with 6K miles, it is not driveable. Seems like me to be the electronic throttle body, which is a known problem. Dealership is backlogged 30 days before even diagnosing it. My only option were to purchase an extended warranty again spending more money.

2013 Mustang convertible - When the car is parked during a rain storm, water fills up both rear quarters and barely weeps out. There has been no water under the rear seat, nor in the rear carpet. Fished a wood dowel down into area and measured 6" of water. When driving, one can hear the water sloshing. This experience seems different than anything discussed on the internet. Is there a way to unplug these cavities, easily?

I love Mustang. I really do. My car broke water pump around 30k, advance trac light in 20k. Now I'm doing maintenance. All I needed is ac/drive belt. Stores don't have it. Everything is complicated about this car. Its very unorthodox. Stereo you have to buy dash kit. Battery terminal is so different. I dunno I be the judge.

New EcoBoost Premium Convertible. Right inside pillar headliner has a tear in it at 500 miles. Checked left side. A hole is starting to form on the inside of the headliner on that side... Went to dealer, took pictures, have to contact Ford blah blah blah...say they may have to replace headliner. Okay so it is replaced. What caused the issue. Will it happen again. I want the entire top replaced or the whole car replaced because I see this as an ongoing problem. Nice to spend 40k on a lemon... Should have got the Camaro.

I was recently in a car accident, rear ended and pushed into an oncoming car. My daughter was in the passenger front seat with her seat belt on. Her face hit the dashboard while wearing her seat belt, cut her lip wide open!!! Also, with the impact we had, I do not understand why the AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE!!! This could happen again!!!

We purchased our Mustang about a year and a half ago and I was in love with this car the moment I saw it. Driving this car is so much fun and the horsepower that comes with it is amazing. It's such a sleek beautiful looking car. When we purchased the car we also bought the tire warranty, which came in handy six months later.

I contacted customer service to complain about the aluminum hood paint problem on my 2011 Mustang. They felt that the car and no longer being under warranty, this was not their problem. Investigating online and talking to body shop experts, this problem has been an ongoing problem for years with many Ford aluminum hoods. I have a garage-kept car with only 32,500 miles and the corrosion, bubbling and cracking on the paint is of no fault of mine. Ford does not want to do anything, and has declined my letter to have this problem taken care of. I feel that Ford should stand behind their paint issues, and this should be a recalled.

My next step will be to tweet Mark Fields asking his thoughts on what I've described below. My 2013 Mustang convertible (Never winter driven) has a problem with oxidation of the aluminum hood where the paint is bubbling at the front edge in several spots. Car is just off warranty but called Ford anyway to complain. They blew me off. Car is now at a body shop to be repaired at my expense. In my complaint to Ford I requested a call back only if they could explain why its normal for a 3 year old car to basically rust from the perspective of aluminum. If they could explain to me why its normal I would speak to them and accept the answer. Will be interesting to hear that explanation.

I've had my 2015 Eco Boost convertible for a little over year, garage kept and <9000 miles on it. I had it serviced @ 5,000 miles and will continue to do so even though the recommended service is 7500 miles. My 1st issue was the puddle lights turning a neat running "mustang" to one running in a blinding snow storm. I took it back to Ford and did replace the lights under warranty but took two trips because they were out of the R/H light. Wonder how long these will last before it starts "snowing" again?

Performance-wise, the car is exceptional! However, as far as product support and customer service on the part of Ford Motor, Co. is concerned, they score an "F". As incredulous as it may sound, I have a 2016 Mustang GT with only 400 miles on it for which Ford is playing hardball on paint defects/damage on all horizontal surfaces. The issue was reported to the dealer almost immediately as it took a few days of ownership to notice the marks under the lights in my garage. As reported by the dealer, Ford has taken a rather hostile position of rejecting the initial warranty claim and has been leaning toward a possible one-time concession. So basically the deal sounds like a repair could be made as a customer "so-called courtesy" and that would be it. So if the questionable paint would peel 6 months down the road, I could forking out thousands for a paint job. So much for Quality 1! For me and mine... no more Ford products!

We purchased a 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible with an ECO boost engine from Crossroads Ford in Cary, NC on February 21, 2015. About 3 months ago, we noticed smoke coming from the exhaust on several occasions. This only seems to happen when the car is idling. We called Crossroads Ford to express our concern about this issue. Because there was a recall on the car for an unrelated issue, we took it back to the dealership and at that time, we talked to the Service Manager, Chris **, concerning the smoke coming from the exhaust.
