The car will "shut down" (wrench error light) at any time, anywhere, any speed. Very dangerous!!! Error code p2111 throttle body actuator stuck open. I have seen numerous posts on this.

2015 ford mustang ecoboost is suffering from a fuel tank leak. Cel turned on while driving on freeway. There are no signs of undercarriage damage, but the evap on top of tank has a hairline crack.

Took my ford mustang to ford and they told me they had to replace the fuel vapour hose. Once job was completed i asked if it was covered since i had done research and it was a recall this mustang had. They said no, and ended up paying 350.84. Is there any way i can get a refund?

Fuel evaporator valve faulty. Valve would stick open, causing vehicle to stall directly after fueling. I ordered the part through a ford dealership. Replacement of fuel evaporator valve eliminated the issue. Part cost $45

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.

Started my car this morning and as i was backing out, i noticed it was idling roughly, causing the car to shake. When stopped, the car felt like it might die and the rpm was inconsistent while accelerating and the car was moving. Very rough riding. Also, engine light came on and begin blinking.
