2015 Mustang 2.3 L ecoboost, when at ideal for more then 5 - 10 min. It starts smoking white smoke from the tail pipes, the longer it sits the heavier the smoke gets. Steering : sometimes when turning left the steering wheel doesn't return to center, I have to pull the steering wheel, as if it is stuck. Transmission feels like it shifts hard sometimes and sometimes it does not. Passenger airbag : when someone is riding with me the airbag turns off. Driver side seat: Has cooled seats. Doesn't work all the time, states it is on, but not feeling anything cool. Contacted Ford and they will not do much about it. Except tell me to bring it to the shop.

Car is experiencing a vibration problem at 65 to 75 mph, in 6 gear, and engine is at 1750 RPM. Vibration is duplicated again, in 5th gear, and engine is at 2500 RPM. Also, with car in the stop position, car in neutral, with clutch in or out, slowly revving the engine vibration occurs at 1500 to 1750 rpms. Also if you quickly rev the engine to 2500 RPM and drop revs slowly vibration reoccurs at 1750 to 1500 RPM. This problem has been present with initial purchase of vehicle, dealership said it was tires and drive it for awhile. The car has since been in the dealership 5 times, replaced all 4 tires, force road balanced 3 times, and has been to second Ford dealership for confirming vibration problem. Second dealership also had another new Mustang experiencing same vibration and could not be fixed. Ford Motor Company has declared the vibration problem is within specs for Mustangs and has declared it "normal operating characteristics" for Mustangs. At this point my case with Ford has been closed. If this vibration problem is occurring in 40 percent of Mustangs as a prior complaint has stated then Ford motors need to address it and not ignore it.

As I am turning on my vehichle to go to work like normal my automatic shifter became so hard to move into gear that I had to use two hands. When I was able to select the correct gear my car kept on shaking and making a huge "clunk" noise that you can feel it by sitting in the car. The "clunk" noise became more prominent when selecting reverse from the park position. If one selects drive to reverse the noise and feel is still there just not as prominent.

Ford acknowledged the issue, but did not offer a solution. The dealership believes it is a safety concern. Ford is still not addressing it.

www.mustang6G.com/forums/showthread.php?T=14267 vehicle exhibited the sound shown in the video. It took an independent shop to diagnose and find the problem to be shown in the transmission bellhousing of the MT82. Dealer finally heard the issue and service manager acknowledged it sounded from the trans, but now dealer is saying the problem isn't occurring. They have failed to follow my instructions on reproducing the issue. This could cause a severe transmission failure and loss of control but no attempts to remove the trans to inspect has been done.
