This happened less than 48 hours after I drove my brand new 2012 off the lot at the Grapevine Ford dealership. They could not duplicate the issue, and I complained almost every day for several weeks. I finally contacted corporate and they looked the car over again. I complained that I should have a loner to drive, and that was like pulling teeth. They finally agreed, but we will NEVER buy another Ford, as much as we love Mustangs.

They did replace the sensor I read about online, and it fixed the problem. I will ask my husband the name of the sensor and update the info here later. I was finally told it was a known issue, and it did recur, a few months later. We have had NOTHING but issues with this automobile, and I hate paying a $800 monthly car payment for a car that is unreliable, unsafe, and falling apart. A Jaguar would give me less issues and would be worth the extra money. I am sorry about the lady whose nephew died from this issue, and I believe she needs to seek legal assistance, as I plan to take that route after the first of the year. I plan to list every issue we have had.

In fairness to Ford, I did make a complaint on Twitter, and corporate Ford contacted offering assistance, but the dealership was not as helpful as the people at Ford's corporate offices.
