My wife notice the brake lights were stuck one. Tired several different steps to see if the problem could be remedied. Such as starting the car, locking unlocking, nothing seem to care of the issue. After doing some research online on one of the mustang forums there were a few people that had the same issue. It seems that there is a little white plastic button on the brake lever that depresses the brake light…

The stop pedal pad brok and the brake light were always on. The car stopped braking at all suddenly! I did not crash because the loss of braking happened while parking in a low transit street. Firts there was loss of acceleration randomly in a highway. I found the pieces of the brake pedal pad in the car floor. This is a severe risk factor for crash because when the stop pedal pad brakes the car will not brake…

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford mustang. While operating the vehicle on a busy highway, the speed would not exceed more than 40 mph and the rear brake lights remained illuminated at all times.

The brake pedal was replaced and the…

The incident took place in last summer. My brake light switch pad broke into pieces while i was trying to merge into a city highway from a freeway. Suddenly i could only accelerate for 2 seconds whenever i step on gas, and i also noticed my brake light never stops even after i turned my car off. I almost got into an accident and got killed. This problem is a very common problem among new mustang models after 2015.…

Brake lights would not shut off and stayed on steady so people behind could not tell whether or not i was braking ....when driving car would drop speed for no apparent reason like it was going to stall out. I found small plastic debrie on floor mat i guess it was a washer type thing from brake switch brittle and broken is pieces? This all happened while driving.

A plastic pad attached to the brake pedal arm that's required in order for the brake light switch to operate correctly apparently disintegrated. As a result, the brake lights were on continuously. I noticed it when ithe car was parked at home, but do not know when it happened.

When driving the brake stoplight switch pad that attaches to the brake pedal assembly fails due to it being brittle plastic. This causes the on board computers to believe the brakes are being applied and drastically slowing the vehicle down from highway speeds to less than 50mph and preventing acceleration. I was accelerating to interstate speeds when the vehicle suddenly felt like the brakes were applied. This…
