Fuel/Propulsion System
My 2013 ford mustang would lose engine power at highway speed. Would still run very rough, chugging at about idle. After a re-start it would run for a short time and repeat the event. Had the throttle body replace with a new ford one and the problem returned two weeks later. The "wrench" light would come on and i would lose power. Very dangerous at freeway travel. Ford says their recall does not apply to mustangs.

Fuel/Propulsion System
Vehicle lost power while driving, engine wrench light came on, driveable but only in "limp" mode. After restart, engine appeared to work fine, however, same issue reoccurred several more times and continues to happen-similar to other ford vehicle throttle body recalls. Major safety issue as complete vehicle shutdown occurs without warning. No recall yet.

While refueling my vehicle in the new cap less fuel filler port, as i pulled out the nozzle excess fuel spilled out around the cap less filler port. The drains around the cap less port drained the spilled fuel inside the quarter panel of car which directed the fuel directly onto the drivers side muffler. If my car had been hot, the fuel would have ignited. This seems to me to be a very unsafe situation. *tr
