2014 Ford Mustang

UPON ACCELERATION TO PASS A SLOW VEHICLE A STRONG ODOR STARTED TO FILL THE VEHICLE, ALMOST LIKE A PROPANE SMELL. THIS I LATER LEARNED TO BE EXHAUST FUMES, OR I SHOULD NOTE, UNBURNED FUEL PASSING THROUGH THE SYSTEM. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED, AND ONLY DOES THIS UNDER ACCELERATION WHEN PASSING SLOWER VEHICLES OR USING MORE POWER TO ASCEND HILLS OR MOUNTAIN TYPE ROADS. VEHICLE THROWN NO SES CODES. VEHICLE DOES NOT STUTTER OR HESITATED, BUT AS NOTED DOES PRODUCE A FOUL SMELL UNDER HARDER ACCELERATION. *TR

2014 FORD MUSTANG. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SHE HEARD A TICKING SOUND, AFTER DRIVING FOR 15 MINUTES. THE DEALER STATED THE ENTIRE LONG BLOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER THE LONG BLOCK WAS REPLACED, THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, AND THE ENGINE WAS REVVING HIGHER THAN NORMAL. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING BY ITSELF IN GEAR AND THERE WERE PRESSURE ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE CONSUMERS CONCERN. THE NEXT TIME THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER, THE IGNITION WAS REPLACED. THE RPM'S CONTINUED TO REV, IDLE WAS VERY ROUGH, EVEN WITH THE AC OFF. THE TICKING NOISE WAS STILL PRESENT, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD TO THE TOUCH. *JB

I HAD A BLOW OUT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND I COULD NOT STOP IT I ENDED UP HITTING A CURB WHICH ACTUALLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND THE TIRE ROD WAS BROKE THE STEERING WAS OUT THE SUSPENSION WAS OUT THE COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS OUT I WAS THANKFUL THAT MY CHILD TO JUST BE BRUISED BECAUSE THERE WAS A HOLE ON SIDE OF TIRE BIGGER THAN 1/2 DOLLAR. I WAS TOLD THE TIRES WOULD NOT BLOW OUT (AT DEALER SHIP) AND PAID EXTRA WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR FOR THE PROTECTION. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REGARDING THE DAMAGE THE VEHICLE OCCURRED JUST BECAUSE OF A BLOW OUT . THE WOMAN WAS EXTREMELY RUDE AND SAID YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE HIT A CURB ANY EXPERIENCE DRIVERS OUT HERE KNOWS IF YOU HIT A CURB IT DOES NOT CAUSE THIS DAMAGE AND I AM THANKFUL FOR MY INSURANCE AS THEY ARE LOOKING INTO THE VEHICLE AS SERIOUS DEFECTS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DAMAGE TO THIS VEHICLE HAPPENED AT THE TIME OF THIS SO CALLED BLOW OUT AND THAT IS WHY I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE SO I TRULY BELIEVE THAT WHEN THE DAMAGE OCCURRED TO THE DRIVER SIDE BACK TIRE WAS THE RESULT OF MAYBE A ROD HITTING THE BACK TIRE CAUSING THE BLOW OUT BECAUSE I HAVE DRIVEN A VEHICLE FOR OVER 35 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS MUCH DAMAGE NOR THIS MUCH PROBLEM DUE TO A BLOW OUT. NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON MY VEHICLE UNTIL I GOT STOPPED NOT EVEN LOW PRESSURE TIRE ...WHEN THE STEERING WENT OUT IT FELT LIKE I WAS TRYING TO DRIVE A CAR WITH THE KEYS OFF , THE STEERING WHEEL FROZE.... AT THIS TIME I STILL DO NOT KNOW ALL THE DAMAGE AS THIS WAS JUST VISUAL INSPECTION FROM THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ATTEMPTING TO FIX MY NEW CAR ...I DO BLAME FORD FOR THIS AS THIS WAS UNUSUAL AS I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT YET THE CAR LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN IN A HEAD IN COLLISION. *TR

FROM DAY 1 UNTIL PRESENT WITH 6400 MILES, THIS CAR ON HARD ACCELERATION, BRINGS IN EXHAUST FUMES SO SEVERE THAT THE FUMES WILL MAKE YOU PHYSICALLY SICK AND WILL EVEN SET OFF A CARBON DIOXIDE DETECTOR ( THIS HAPPENS WITH ALL WINDOWS SHUT AND THE AIR ON RECIRCULATE). NORMAL DRIVING, NO PROBLEM IF ENGINE RPMS ARE KEPT BELOW 1500 RPM --- BUT---- DON`T TRY TO GET UP TO SPEED MERGING ON A FREEWAY OR ANY HIGH REVVING SITUATION. FORD DEALER WON`T DO ANYTHING UNTIL IT THROWS A COMPUTER CODE, WHICH IT HAS NOT. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A JOKE AFTER SPENDING HOURS ON THE PHONE. I THINK I BOUGHT A MODERN YUGO. *TR

THE CAR WAS MAKING A DRY PASS BY AT A DRAG STRIP (NON RACING) WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IGNITION CUT OFF, CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL. CAR HIT REAR QUARTER PANEL AND THEN HIT THE FRONT TIRE AND SUSPENSION RIPPING THE FRONT BUMPER OFF. DRIVER WAS INJURED BUT NOT BAD. HAD CAR TOWED TO A FORD DEALER, WHERE WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY $4,000 TO HAVE A FORD REPRESENATIVE LOOK AT, TO DETERMINE CAUSE FOR THE CAR TO SHUT OFF AND AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOY. *TR
