    I was driving to work one early morning when all of a sudden my steering wheel froze and couldn't steer my car and almost crashed on the freeway. My 2012 mustang v6 has electric power steering. There is something wrong with the power steering and can kill someone.

    Takata recall i was notified last year that my car was recalled. Ford still does not have parts to fix or a plan to fix. This car is just sitting because i will not allow my children do drive a car that has been recalled for airbags that could cause death. How long does ford have to repair? I have to pay insurance, personal property tax on a car we won't use. People also do not want to purchase my car because it has…

    Takata recall - in early november 2015 i was driving my 2012 ford mustang when i experienced a minor fender bender, less that 10 mph. Surprisingly, the airbags deployed causing my passenger, a young boy with a stomach bag and other illnesses to have to get checked in the hospital.

    I was driving on the highway at 70 mph when the car just satlled out. I had to steer to the right land and coast to the shoulder. I then turned the car off....no warning lights came on. After a couple of minutes it restarted. I was told at the dealership it as a throttle body that needed to be replaced.

    The problem with the vehicle started when i tried to start it. When i turned the key the vehicle took a few seconds longer than usual to start up. As i began driving down the highway my vehicle wouldn't shift gears out of 40mph and caused the engine to have high rpm. When i turned off the engine at a gas station and tried to start it back up. Vehicle would not start and i had to get it jumped. Vehicle still doesn't…

    While trying to shift from 1st to 2nd it wont go into 2nd gear, it feels like something is blocking the gear and it also has done it going from 2nd to 1st. During one instance when i was turning and tried to shift into 2nd gear and couldn't i was almost hit by an oncoming car but they were able to go around me at the last second. I also have a vibration in the transmission at around 2500 rpm's.
