The little rubber pad that it attached to the brake pedal disintegrated. Without that pad the vehicle goes into limp mode and won-??t drive over 40. Don-??t know why the brake switch is connected to other electronics in the vehicle that would make it go into limp mode. Very unsafe while driving on the highway.
The brake pedal stop bumper has fallen off and causing the exact issues in safety recall notice 22S02; NHTSA recall 22V011. This vin and others should also be added to this recall. Pictured item was located on the floors.
The plastic break switch pad broke when I was driving on the highway. I lost engine power and RPMs were erratic. Brake lights would not turn off even when brakes were not applied. I could not excellorate normally or maintain speed. Upon examination the pad was brittle and yellowing. There is already a safety recall for this part but only in certain states that does not include Arizona.

AdvanceTracService light, Hill Assist not available, Check engine light is on, Driver selection light comes on. I've taken it to the dealership and they cannot find the problem, but steering wheel and car was temporarily inoperable and turning the steering wheel was almost impossible. Suspension is off as well.
Rear camera wiring fails. Car was at dealer for repair in May and manufacturer or dealer has yet to address the issue. This includes third eye brake light and trunk lid
Touchscreen is dark. Tried to reset by pressing the Radio on Button and forward button the same time, checken all harnesses and connectors. Everything fine. Apparantly the APIM module failed.
Heated and cooled seats are not sufficiently grounded, causing burnt wiring beneath passenger seat, overcurrent to blower motor. This issue applies to multiple makes and models using the Ford\Motorcraft wire harness part number WPT-928.
While on vacation (my car was at home) a piece in my brakes broke and caused my break lights to be on constantly. When I tried starting my car the battery was dead. The break likes being on like they were ended up causing my battery to corrode by time I got home from the continuous energy drain. I was able to jumpstart my car but when I went to put my car in drive the vehicle would not accelerate over pretty much idling. When I got my car towed to the dealership (Gary Yeoman's) they told me the break bumper disintegrated and caused my break lights to be on and a vehicle acceleration override to be engaged.
The driver's side window will go up and down constantly when vehicle is turned off on my 2015 Mustang GT, so annoying and scary, hate for someones fingers to get caught in it, I can role them down and back up a million times and it still does it, I even open and shut the door multiple times, but still does it! Not sure what the insurance company would say about it if I told them. Maybe something to do with the lock, sensor, security system. When window is slighly down, it could be at risk for theft. (and Ford, lets not even dicuss your Shi* paint job!)
When using driver's memory functions, driver and passenger mirrors tilt in one direction to it's limits and clicks multiple times. Does not go back to preset setting unless the memory button is pressed another time.
I was driving my 2015 twin eco-boost car on a city street, when I I heard something under hood.and right at that moment smoke was rolling out from under the hood.when I stopped and got out, thats when a witness told me she saw flames coming out from under the car it melted everything under the hood.every wire was exsposed.I am waiting for report from fire department.I do have a picture of it.fire chief said battery exploded.
Climate controlled seats stopped working. While diagnosing the issue I found that connector C3265B on the front seat climate control module was burned severely and melted.
The rearview camera will intermittently display a blank or distorted image. When placing the car in reverse the camera will intermittently display a blank screen or distorted image while reversing the vehicle. This reduces the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. This happens when both stationary and in motion. This is the same issue that my 2020 Ford Mustang GT VIN [xxx] has just received a recall notice for. The camera began to fail the summer of 2020. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
