So the car has a actuator control system stuck open. I have had it at the ford dealership twice now and will be going back on monday again for the same issue. When it starts up it runs at the 1 rpm then it goes down from there, not letting the car getting any fuel or speed for it to go forward or backwards. I have cleared the codes and works for a few days but then it does it again. This last time the code wouldn't…

Electrical system problem. There does not seem to be a trigger in regard to rain, hot, or cold weather conditions or how it is being driven. I have had a ford dealership work on this to no avail. I will start with the safety aspect that is affected. It will do all of these things at once and then slowly come back online, sometimes the errors do not correct themselves. 1. No brake lights 2. No rear turn signal 3. No…

The car stopped taking gas on the highway. We had to stop, shut off the engine and restart. Within 2 weeks it happend several times, 1 week after the first time it happened 7 times in one hour. The ford garage sent us home after the first time, we should watch. Then we should wait 4 weeks for a repair (missing parts). Finally they repaired it 1 day prior to our departure back home. It was the throttle body which had…

This began as of last thursday. I have a 2011 ford mustang that i bought just last august. As i was driving on the freeway, a wrench light came on and my car seemed to have stalled on me. I thought maybe it was because it was pouring down raining so i was able to pull over into a parking lot since i was exiting the freeway. I turned off the car after it seemed to vibrate a bit, waited a few moments, turned it back…

My advanced trac light was on-dashboard. I took it into dean sellers ford (2600 w maple rd, troy, mich 48084) and was told that i needed to replace the epas because it failed. This car has only 25,400 miles on it and the cost was $1047.00 plus labor of $505.50. Total cost $1549,00 plus i had to pay $60,00 for a rental car. A car with this many miles on it, should not need to have this kind of repair (epas component)…

The "service autotrack" light came on as i was pulling out from a parking space in the morning, and the power to the back wheels was reduced. I took the vehicle to the dealership for service, and was informed of a manufacturer defect in the gpas system that could cause the steering to fail. The dealership kept the vehicle, as it is unsafe to drive due to this gpas system defect. Ford is not currently manufacturing…

Electronic Stability Control · Service Brakes
Twice while accelerating to get up to highway speeds, on clear, flat, dry, and smooth pavement the advanctrac system activated for no reason. It starts by very aggressively pulsing the front right brake, followed by the rear left brake, then alternating brakes all the way around causing the car to swerve almost out of control, at higher speeds like 65-70 it probably would cause total loss of control. The advanctrac…

Approx. 1-2 times a month, after leaving my house and driving a short, paved street going to the main road, my advancetrac light on the dash will start blinking, indicating the stability control system has been activated. Along with this the right front brake will be activated by the abs system. Typically will happen for 10-15 seconds then as i come to a stop to turn on to the main road it will stop. When i then…
