Consumer Complaints(111 total, showing 10)

POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

My vehicle experienced a blown head gasket due to a faulty engine block design at 56K miles. The car started running rough for 10 seconds upon a cold start up and was also misfiring. This is due to coolant intrusion through the gasket and it got into cylinder 3 which could have caused catastrophic engine failure or worse.There are several class-action lawsuits against Ford for the defect.Ford has not taken any steps to address this issue with the ecoboost engines on 2015-2019 models. Additionally, Ford did NOT provide relief to me and I had to pay out of pocket to fix this.

STRUCTURE

My door pops open while driving. You can hear it and the dash lights up that the door is ajar. Have to pull over and open and close the door. This has happened multiple times during various speeds and road conditions. Ford has recalled the door latches on the years prior but this year is not included. It has been occurring for over a year about 3 times a month.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The Back-up camera blanks out; blinks on and off; message says to see the dealer who wants $185 just to diagnose the problem. Is there a recall? and if not it should be. vehicle has 31,000 miles on odometer. Problem has be occurring since June 2025 and is still ongoing.

VISIBILITY

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, it was extremely difficult to see through the rear glass. Upon closer inspection, the contact became aware that the rear glass made objects appear warped. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 3,700.

POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

My vehicle recently had a head gasket leak due to a faulty engine block design. I noticed one day the coolant was lower than it should be but nothing concerning, over a month or so it got progressively lower & the car would also sputter/misfire on startups from time to time. This is due to coolant slipping through the gasket & getting into the cylinder & oil which can lead to catastrophic engine failure or worse. Eventually I got a check engine light & was told it was a misfire after running a diagnostic on the vehicles OBD2. I researched what the issue could be &it became more & more apparent that it was a head gasket issue. The oil was contaminated & coolant was getting very low. Apparently it’s a big issue since Ford is now facing a class action over the defect. The vehicle also has some issues with the transmission, for example ill start the car up on a cold California morning 50°F & let it warm up before driving & when I go into reverse after the car will jolt hard as if you were backing up & hitting something like a wall, even in the afternoon when you start it from a cold start & go into reverse it will do it. Not sure why but it’s concerning to say the least. The transmission also feels confused when shifting, when I’m in 4th about to push fit it will get confused & revs will drop slightly before going up again to up shift, also when downshifting due to braking the shifts can feel a bit hard, especially when needing to stopping fast. The engine & transmission are the most importantly parts of a vehicle & without them working properly is something no one should have to face.

POWER TRAIN

The 10-speed automatic transmission (10R80) in my 2019 Ford Mustang GT began malfunctioning around 84,000–85,000 miles, displaying a consistent hesitation followed by a sudden jolt during acceleration between 15–30 mph. A Ford dealership confirmed the issue and diagnosed it as an internal leak in the clutch drum assembly, referred to as a “CDF drum internal leak.” The vehicle has not shown any warning lights or dashboard messages, and the symptoms developed gradually before becoming consistent. The malfunction causes the car to unexpectedly lurch forward during normal driving, which poses a safety risk to myself and others, particularly in traffic, at intersections, or when merging. This unpredictable behavior could lead to loss of control or rear-end collisions. The transmission remains installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request; however, will be fixing it soon since it is my only car. To date, the vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership and not by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives.

ENGINE

5.0 GT Engine continues to lose power and has loud “clicking” when idling. First appeared after May 2025 oil change. Mustang dealer ran codes check - nothing shows up. Mustang dealer has recorded a video / audio of sound and recommends engine replacement. The engine only has 22,000 miles on it .

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

There is TSB that was issued on the shift forks of the 2018-2019 Ford mustangs where aluminum shift forks were originally installed which led to cracking and breakage. Due to this a TSB was issued reverting back to them using steel. My son purchased a 2019 Ford Mustang with only 9000 miles on it three months ago and this part has broke and no one wants to cover the Repair. This should be covered Repair. There should be a recall.

ENGINE
