Ford Mustang 2017 — Problemas reportados

2017 Ford Mustang EcoBoost unintended downshift; potential relevance to Ford Recall 26S28 / NHTSA Recall 26V237 and Investigation EA26001 I am submitting a vehicle safety complaint concerning a sudden, unintended downshift in my 2017 Ford Mustang EcoBoost while traveling on Interstate 10 with my wife and son. I request that Ford investigate my vehicle and that NHTSA evaluate whether the lead-frame safety concern addressed by Recall 26S28 / 26V237 may also affect Mustang vehicles and other Ford models equipped with related 6R80 transmission components. On 9/26/2026, while driving on interstate I-10 in New Orleans approximately 60–70 mph, my vehicle suddenly and erratically downshifted to what appeared to be first or second gear. I could not independently verify the precise gear during the emergency. As I attempted to reach the shoulder, the vehicle remained in a low gear, which I understood to be second, and eventually entered limp mode. The abrupt change in speed and inability to accelerate normally created a near-collision situation with other vehicles traveling at interstate speeds. My wife, son, and I were placed in immediate danger. Before this event, I had noticed no signs of transmission trouble. I brought the vehicle to Supreme Ford of Slidell for diagnosis. After the dealership had the vehicle for more than a week, a service representative told me that it needed a replacement transmission costing more than $10,000. Based on my subsequent discussions with the dealership, I understood that the recommendation relied on a diagnostic scan showing a Shift Solenoid A fault. I was not provided with an explanation of additional testing establishing why replacement of the complete transmission was necessary. I returned the vehicle to my garage for further investigation. I tested all existing transmission solenoids, and all passed the testing I performed. Based on those results and my subsequent repair outcome, I identified the molded lead frame as the source.

My 2017 Ford Mustang Convertible front door unlatched to the secondary safety position while driving at highway speeds. This became a huge issue on October 13, 2026 while taking a long-distance trip. The passenger door unlatched at least 10 times. During this trip, my car exceded the 150,000 mile limit to Ford customer satisfication program 21N10. When I contacted both my local dealer and the Ford customer service team, both said their is nothing they can do to help me. I am quite frustrated that Ford rejected my safety concerns on this known issue and was unwilling to recognize the extunuating circumstances of when this happened.

I have attached a complaint which sets for the odometer fraud resulting in severe damage to my engine. I have also attached mileage discrepancies and the documentation created and maintained by AutoNation Ford Valencia which records my odometer at 26,250 in September 2022 and after taking my vehicle in for service of the air condition, I received it back with an odometer reading of 25,134 which appear on the odometer. Please review my complaint and supporting documentation.

I have experienced a concerning issue twice while driving. On both occasions, I was traveling at approximately 72 mph with all doors closed and locked when the vehicle indicated that the passenger door was ajar. Although the door did not fully open, it appears that the latch may not have remained securely engaged. My concern is that if I have a passenger in the vehicle and this occurs again, it could create a serious safety risk. I would like to know what may be causing this issue and what can be done to correct it. Could this be related to a defective door latch, sensor, or another component?

Was driving, all the sudden I heard a pop and a little bit of smoke and the smell of burning plastic came from under passenger seat. Pulled over, noticed it was coming from electrical harness under seat that controls the heated and cooled seats. Disconnected plug and saw that it had burnt out & caught fire. Have left it unplugged with no incident since.

Horn when first pushed does not work....Push it 3-4 times rapidly and it works fine...Intermittent....Yesterday a kid not paying attn pulled out in front of me on a bicycle....I hit the horn, horn did not work, came sooooo close to hitting him......With a horn operating properly it would not have been as nearly deadly as it was......Took it to my dealer, was told it is a common known problem, about $1000.00 to troubleshoot and fix....This is a extremely dangerous defect, known to everyone and should be a recall.....The expense to fix is ridiculous to the point that very few are getting it fixed and it is a continuing deadly issue.....

Our 2017 has had an ongoing problem through the years with the passenger door opening at speed. Sometimes going 70 mph on the interstate. Lately it has happened more and more. Yesterday, my wife called me at work, very upset saying that the passenger door popped open again on her way to work. I have read that Ford has had some issues with driver side doors opening, but have not seen a recall for the passenger side. This is very dangerous and scares my wife. Ford seems to be very slow with giving attention to safety issues. Last year, our rearview camera on the same car was supposed to have been repaired. They did part of the job but said they are waiting on a part. That was October of 2025. I have heard nothing back. I have contacted the dealership, who tells me they will get back with me, but they basically have not. Meanwhile, I still have a nonworking backup camera. I know they are bogged down with recalls, but these are ongoing, very serious safety issues.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that the driver's and passenger's side seat belts were seizing. The occupants were concerned about being stuck inside the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The mechanic removed the inside panels of the seat belts and greased and cleaned the parts. The contact stated that the failure was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V614000 (Seat Belts). The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where an inspection was performed, and it was confirmed that the seat belts were working as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 27,000.

This is a Mustang convertible. The doors would be open all of the sudden when the car is running especially on highway. It's not wide open but ajar. The wind would blow into the car, noisy and scary. Both doors have this issue, mainly on driver side. The passenger side also happened once on highway when my daughter was there. This typically happen in a long drive like couple of hours. The first time this happened is couple of years ago. This issue happened more and more often in the past year. I found online that this issue was reported and some of the cars were recalled. However, my car is not one of those that were recalled. I believe this is a big deal and should be taken care of seriously. Thank you.

While driving my recently purchased 2017 Ford Mustang Convertible from Florida to North Carolina, the passenger-side door repeatedly unlocked and partially opened while the vehicle was traveling at interstate speeds. This occurred approximately 12 times during the trip. The door appeared to latch normally when closed, but would unexpectedly unlock and pop open while the vehicle was in motion. This created a significant safety concern due to the risk of occupant injury, driver distraction, and potential loss of vehicle control. I am aware that Ford has issued recalls related to door latch failures on certain Mustang models; however, my vehicle's VIN is not included in the recall population. Based on my research, numerous owners of Ford Mustang Convertibles from model years around 2017 have reported experiencing similar door latch and door-opening issues. Given the frequency of the occurrences and the obvious safety implications of a vehicle door opening while traveling at highway speeds, I believe this issue warrants further investigation.

Recall performed and tech stated parts were bad and needed desperately and parts were ordered. I have a repair invoice to prove it in my vehicle history. I rescheduled appointment for recall completion and service manager was very rude and stated recall doesn’t even have parts out until 11/2026. When I questioned if recall was performed improperly per TSB she placed me on hold for a while and she said parts department doesn’t have parts for me /never ordered anything and I can’t get the recall done.

Recall 22V0820000, Ford recall 22S06 was completed in 2023. That recall failed. The dealership, and Ford corporate have refused to fix this under the recall which is required.

This Recall has been out for more than 6 months without remedy. Is there anyway to get this resolved soon? Why hasn't there been any solution placed within a timely matter? I want to make sure that I am safely secured in my seat. I want to be able to trust that the seatbelt used will save my life if need be.

"I am reporting High Desert Ford (formerly Sunland Ford) for refusing to perform the remedy for Safety Recall 25S89 (NHTSA 25V572) on my 2017 Ford Mustang. Despite my vehicle exhibiting the exact 'distorted/blank image' defect described in the recall, the dealership refused the repair based on two non-compliant grounds: 1. Digital vs. Physical Defect: The dealer stated that because no 'Diagnostic Trouble Codes' (DTCs) were present, they would not replace the camera. This ignores the fact that NHTSA 25V572 identifies the root cause as internal PCB corrosion—a physical hardware failure that Ford acknowledges causes visual distortion regardless of digital codes. 2. Illegal Tie-In (Magnuson-Moss Violation): The dealership is conditioning my federal safety remedy on the removal of an aftermarket dash display. They claim diagnosis is 'impossible' with it installed, yet simultaneously claimed the vehicle 'passed' inspection. This constitutes an illegal tie-in provision under 15 U.S.C. § 2302(c), as they have failed to provide any technical proof that the display caused the internal camera corrosion identified by Ford. I have video evidence of the safety failure which the dealership refused to review. By denying this repair, High Desert Ford is knowingly leaving a vehicle on the road with a defect that increases the risk of a crash."

While backing up my rear view camera finally went completely out. I have 3 recalls and it's been way over a year or better all I keep getting is notices that they don't have my parts. Over a year really. Can you help me get my car fixed? I have 4 small grandchildren age 1-9 which 2 of them I pick up daily. I want to make sure I do everything I can to keep them safe. If I was a year late on my car payment they would not wait. I think I have been more than patient.

I am bringing in my 2017 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Premium due to a serious transmission problem. The vehicle’s 10R60 / 10R80 automatic transmission becomes stuck in Drive/Sport mode and fails to shift properly, which is a significant safety concern since it prevents me from reliably selecting Park or Neutral when needed. I am aware of multiple Ford Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) and updates related to this transmission family, including but not limited to: - TSB MC-10236680 (May 30, 2023) – 10R60 / 10R80 Automatic Transmission – Harsh/Delayed Engagement And/Or Harsh/Delayed Shift - Identifies PCM/TCM software issues, solenoid strategy concerns, sticking valves in the main control valve body, and axial movement of the CDF clutch cylinder sleeve. - Calls for PCM/TCM reprogramming, adaptive learning drive cycles, and in some cases valve body or clutch component replacement. - TSB 23-2250 (2023) – 10R60/10R80 Harsh/Delayed Shifts / Engagement - Describes corrective procedures including Transmission Accelerated Main Control Break-In routine, adaptive learning cycles, and parts replacement if necessary. - TSB 18-2079 (2018) – 10R80 Harsh/Delayed Shifts, DTC P0711 - Calls for PCM reprogramming to correct transmission shift concerns. Given these official Ford bulletins acknowledge issues with this transmission design, I am requesting that the dealership: 1. Check for and apply all available PCM/TCM software updates as outlined in the above TSBs. 2. Perform adaptive learning drive cycles or Transmission Accelerated Main Control Break-In procedures where applicable. 3. Inspect for valve body or CDF clutch cylinder defects if symptoms persist. 4. Confirm whether this VIN is covered for these repairs under TSB or goodwill consideration, given the clear overlap between my symptoms and Ford’s published bulletins. Because this is a safety issue (vehicle stuck in gear, inability to properly engage Park/Neutral)

Backup camera malfunctioning, took vehicle into dealership 1 to have it repaired under recall. Camera still malfunctioning after 2 visits to dealer, was told I was going to get charged diagnostics fee if taken back. Year later, took it to dealship 2 to have it looked at again. dealership found nicked wire from initial repair as stated in repair order, but problem still persists and now being charged a diagnostics fee as Ford refuses to fix problem.

Driver's seat belt cable rusted, causing cable to fail under normal operation.

Trunk stopped working about a year ago along with the backup camera. I understand this is a known issue & recall however I haven’t had the time to bring it in. Finally brought it in & they will only replace the wiring harness which fixed the trunk but not the backup camera which is what I understand to be the main issue of the recall so it makes no sense. If the wiring harness doesn’t fix the main safety issue why aren’t they responsible for replacing the camera? Thanks,

While driving 45mph, my passenger door suddenly opened, and I received a notification on my car's dashboard warning me that the door had opened. When it was safe to pull over, I was able to shut the door but this has been the second time this has occurred, the first being about 2 months earlier while I was driving on the free way going 65mph. This is very dangerous since if my door opened while I was driving, my belongings could fall out of my car while driving, my passenger would be put at risk, and my door could potentially hit another car next to me. Ultimately, my passenger door's lock failed and it is available for inspection upon request. The door failing to stay locked while driving put me and my passenger at risk. The vehicle has not been inspected since I looked online and many others with my car have this issue, but Ford requires hundreds of dollars just to inspect which I can not afford right now. There was a warning sign on my car's dashboard that my passenger door opened while I was driving.
