Back up camera works and then it doesn't. I refuse to go to dealership just to have them say it is working then to leave and it not working again. I've read forums and threads it is a very very common. Ford needs to fix this too many owners having same issue. This is a safety concern.

Wiring to the rear deck gets pinched when trunk opens/closes. Rear camera and trunk release do not work and 'trunk ajar' dash notification will not turn off. This is a known design defect by ford. I have created 2 separate cases with ford customer care and they refuse to take responsibility for full repairs.

Unable to open trunk in 2015 mustang convertible. The key fob, dash release button and outside release button will not open trunk. Also found out back up camera is out too.

The car intermittently will not start. The dealers say they can't fix the car without a computer error code which they are not getting. I have been stranded with the car on several occasions. I have checked on-line and find that other mustang owners are having exactly the same experience and their cars are not getting fixed either. I also contacted ford customer service directly but have had no feedback from them. I…

Backup camera malfunctioning, have had serviced several times and the expense is getting higher and still no fix. Ford knows there is a problem and they refuse to fix but this is a safety issue these cars have soo many blind spots you can't see backing up without it. It seems to be worse when car heats up, it rolls or goes blank and won't come on at all most days. It starts intermittently so when you carry it to…

Rodents have been chewing on the wiring under the hood. I feel this is due to the soybased wiring coating that is being used on newer vehicles. 1st incident. The ac wiring was effected. 2nd incident 2 weeks later engine wires were chewed up. This seems very similar to the current honda rodent issues that a class action lawsuit is currently filed for. The vehicle was parked under my carport over night. It is a daily…

The first time i was parked and it was idling, my friend and i both witnessed the idle dip, then 3-5 seconds later the engine shut off. The second time (was much more dangerous) i was changing lanes because of a car fast approaching from behind, i downshifted from 3rd to 2nd gear…

The push button ignition switch is located directly under the radio control buttons. The ignition button will shut the car off while in gear and in motion. This happened while i was in a parking lot, going about 5 mph. My husband accidently pushed the ignition button instead of the radio control button and shut the car off. Ford has no solution to this hazardous design flaw, and told me they can't re-engineer the…

First occurrence (mid december 2014): i was coming up to a red light and the turn was slightly uphill. I approach the light and drop the car into neutral (clutch was fully engaged continuously at this point) and while braking, as i approached the red light to make a right turn my car's rpms just drop completely to 0. It didn't even try to catch idle. This was about 1.5 months ago. I figured that it might be…
