I currently own a 2014 Mustang GT with a manual transmission and notice my emergency brake release button was cracking. The button is made of cheap plastic and the dealer does not have a replacement release button. They only sell the whole emergency brake, which I feel that Ford should she be responsible of replacing the emergency brake button, since this is a safety issue that you cannot engage the emergency brake or disengage the emergency brake button when parking your vehicle on a hilly driveway or any hill at all. Which I leave in Northern California that is very hill and feel that if my car ever comes disengaged out of 1st gear it would cause serious damages to others, such as crashing into a building or other cars or even a fatality.

2014 FORD MUSTANG Experiencing exact same issues as when car is parked and shifting into the gear intended by the driver. That could cause the vehicle to roll away or move in an "unexpected direction". This is the same issue as the recall issued for other Ford vehicles: (but 2014 Ford Mustang is not listed) 2013-2019 Escape 2013-2018 C-Max 2013-2016 Fusion 2013-2021 Transit Connect 2015-2018 Edge "A damaged or missing bushing may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear, and cause the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction, " the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in a statement. "Additionally, the vehicle may roll after the driver selects the 'Park' position. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash or injury." My daughter had several near missed with this safety issue - and when I asked for diagnostics the dealer wanted to charge $ $139.99 plus taxes. The recall needs to be issue to include : 2014 FORD MUSTANG

I was going up a steep driveway. I made it to the top, then needed to get back down. I put my car in reverse and proceeded to back down the driveway. Suddenly and without warning, my brakes and steering went out. The whole car shut off and the battery light turned on. Not being able to brake or steer, my car rolled down the driveway into a fence before coming to a stop. This caused extensive damage to my vehicle.

The vehicle has under 7,500 miles and a service advancetrac warning just came up on my commute to work this morning. Was driving on a nice road in downtown riverside and had no impact or other events prior to the light turning on. The vehicle's braking is not apparently inhibited. Ford states that this is out of warranty.

At startup, while leaving the neighborhood a dry clear day (no rapid acceleration), experiences a loss of power. Traction control light comes on. When brakes applied, grinding sound occurs then normal driving resumes and light turns off. First occurred 2 years ago. Since brakes rotors changed, still occurs, much more often now, on date indicated, happened 3 times within 1/4 mile, less than 1 mile total drive.

My vehicle and the subject of this complaint is a 2014 Ford Mustang GT. The date of the incident is approximate as is the vehicle mileage. I was traveling northbound on N brooks St. In brazoria tx. I was in a school zone and my speed was 25 mph. I approached an intersection controlled by a blinking red light and applied my brakes to bring my vehicle to a stop. My vehicle did not come to a complete stop but continued across the intersection in what I can describe as a slow jerking motion. I took my vehicle to gulf coast Ford in angleton tx on 5/12/15 and spoke to the service manager. He did not know what the problem could be and said he would do some further checking and call me back. He has not contacted me. I placed a phone call to him today 5/15/15 and was told he had a guest in his office and would return my call. He has not returned my call this is the first time an incident like this has happened.

When brakes were applied to disengage cruise control, brakes acted as if they had lost power, and cruise control failed to disengage. This has subsequently occurred four more times, most recently in early October.

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.
