I was driving down the road and the air-conditioning in the car stoped working. The car only blows out hot air now. I'm not sure how many people have filed a complaint but this is a massive problem for the vehicle that a simple google search reveals. This problem is ramapnt and the car is 3 years old. Ford claims they have no responsibility for $50,000 dollar car having mechanical failures 3 years after it was built. The customer service rep told me to talk to the appropriate government Agency if I didn't like

On Friday, July 19, 2019, my son was driving on I-75 in Florida, going from univ of tampa to fernandina beach. While driving on the highway (approx 70 mph), the driver's side door unlatched - this happened to him twice on the trip. He pulled over & had to close the door. He mentioned that this had happened to him once before a few weeks ago. There is a Ford recall for this problem for 2015 Mustangs but no recall for 2016. Vehicle has been repaired 7/23/19.

There is a small crack in the caulking around my rear windshield that allows water to enter the vehicle. As a result the rear passenger seat and seatbelt get wet. The headliner also shows water damage. This happens while the car is parked. My driveway has a slight upward slant and it seems to be worse than when my car is parked on a level surface.

First the ac was blowing hot air. I had it service last year. This year the car was blowing cold air on the passenger side. I had the blendor replaced. 3 months later the car again began to blow warm air I had it checked and now 30 days later the car makes a whining noise when the ac or defrost is turned on. The noise becomes louder as you accelerate. I searched the internet and there are a lot of these complaints concerning this model vehicle. There are also a lot of youtube videos describing the same issue some starting with in 9 months of purchase. I also purchased this car new and have maintained the required service. The vehicle is stationary and it continues when in motion.

Driving on the dallas, tx highway 35- rlthornton headed sound in the peak of traffic in the fast lane (far left hand lane) going about 35miles and car stops. My feet was pressed on the acceleration but the car would not move. No engine warming or lights came on. The cars behind be began to swerve and brake to keep from hitting me. The abrupt engine shut off could have caused accidents or even worse fatalities. (my life) because the car was unmovable and failed to start, 911 had to be called for assistance with getting me out of arms way of other drivers and on the right side of the highway. I called the dealership, to inform them of the matter. Had the car towed at the expense of $120 dollars. 2 days have passed and my car hasn't been looked it. I was told that they might get to my car by Friday, 8/31 and that no rentals were available. My biggest concerned is the safety of my life and others. After researching around it appears that others have also experienced this problem. The Mustang is Ford biggest seller but consumers have the right to know of any issues such as this being reported. Why, because lives matter.
