2009 Ford Mustang Complaint Log

The clutch/flywheel/ and or other components of the drive train/engine/transmission connection are faulty and are known to fail for the 2007-2009 Shelby Ford Mustang GT 500 as documented in the numerous Ford Technical Service Bullitens (TSB). This vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Late this summer (2023), I was driving this vehicle with my kids in the car and attempting to merge on the entry ramp for the expressway. I experienced a sudden loss of acceleration and the RPMs immediately "redlined". I had to pull over to the shoulder of the expressway so I would not be rear-ended. I researched this issue and found hundreds of posts on Mustang forums documenting this known issue and the TSB issued by Ford. I have reached out to Ford directly and had my vehicle inspected at a Ford Dealership. The Ford Dealership indicated the issues were consistent with the known defective parts. There were zero warnings either by warning lights or symptoms and I am just fortunate to have been in an accident with my children. I only have approximately 27,000 miles on this vehicle and it is not modified in any way. I have the dealership documentation as well that I can email at a later date. I unfortunately do not have it in electronic format at this time.

The contact owns a 2009 Ford Mustang. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V319000 (Air Bags) and requested to be removed from the recall distribution list. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted.

The contact owned a 2009 Ford Mustang. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V081000 (Air Bags) and requested to be removed from the recall distribution list as he no longer owns the vehicle. The local dealer and the manufacturer were contacted. The VIN was unavailable.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON

WHEN IT RAINS, WATER IS LEAKING UNDER THE WINDSHIELD INTO THE DUCT WORK AND ONTO THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. HEAVY RAINS HAVE CAUSED AS MUCH AS 5 INCHES OF WATER TO LAY ON PASSENGER FLOOR. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED THE SMART JUNCTION BOX TO MALFUNCTION AND CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE. I NOW HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW BOX AND HAVE IT PROGRAMMED, WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. I HAVE READ ARTICLES ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER 2009 MUSTANGS. FORD HAS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. NOT ONLY IS IT EXPENSIVE TO FIX, IT ALSO IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE TO IGNITE WITHIN THE CAR. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD MUSTANG EQUIPPED WITH COOPER ZEON R53-61R20 TIRES, SIZE: 255/40/ZR19-XL (NA). WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD SOUND IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SWERVED TO THE RIGHT AND THE CONTACT WAS ABLE PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE ENTIRE CROWN AT THE MIDDLE OF REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WAS SPLIT AND DETACHED. THE CONTACT WAS ASSISTED IN CHANGING THE TIRE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE CONTACT CALLED MARVIS DISCOUNT TIRE CENTER AND WAS INFORMED THAT SINCE HE DID NOT PURCHASE THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE SERVICE, THEY COULD NOT ASSIST HIM. THE TIRE CENTER SUGGESTED THAT THE CONTACT CALL THE TIRE MANUFACTURER (COOPER TIRES). THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT IF THE CONTACT TOOK THE TIRE TO THE DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, THE MANUFACTURER WOULD POSSIBLY REFUND THE COST OF THE TIRE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT HE HAD THREE MORE COOPER TIRES THAT COULD HAVE THE SAME FAILURE. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,944.

MY SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2009 MUSTANG AND AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, HE SLOWLY ACCELERATED AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED QUICKLY ON ITS OWN. HE SAID THE GAS PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, HE TRIED PUSHING BRAKE AND IT WAS NOT STOPPING THE CAR. IT SENT HIM THROUGH ANOTHER INTERSECTION, HE ENGAGED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO NO AVAIL. LUCKILY HIS CAR WENT THROUGH AN AREA OF SOGGY GRASS THAT HELPED SLOW THE CAR DOWN, AND CAME TO A STOP BY RUNNING INTO HEDGES AND RESTING NEXT TO A BRICK CHURCH. HE DESCRIBED HEARING THE RPM'S REVVING UP ALONG WITH THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. HE ALSO DESCRIBED THE STEERING WHEEL AS "LOCKING UP".

PULLED UP A DRIVEWAY AND PUT MY 2009 FORD MUSTANG IN PARK, STARTED ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN. WOULD DECELERATE AFTER PRESSING AND RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL BUT WOULD START ACCELERATING AGAIN ON IT'S OWN. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WHEN RESTARTED ACTED AND DROVE FINE. HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY FORD. VERY UNSAFE PROBLEM.

RANDOM ACCELERATION. BACKED OUT OF PARKING SPACE , PUT CAR IN DRIVE AND PRESSED ACCELERATOR TO MOVE FORWARD. ACCELERATION INCREASED ON ITS OWN. REMOVED FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR, PRESSED THE BRAKE. ACCELERATION CONTINUED TO INCREASE, HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL HARD.. ACCELERATOR CONTINUED TO INCREASE ON ITS OWN. (COULDN'T STOP VEHICLE) HIT A CURB AND FLIPPED THE VEHICLE.

SERVO ON TRANSMISSION PUSHED SNAP OUT OF RETAINING GROOVE CAUSING LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED.SERVO PUSHED OUT OF TRANS,CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL THAN LURCHED AHEAD ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

CALLED DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, KEEPS SAYING PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE-KEEP GETTING DANGER DEFECTIVE MAILINGS - HOW CAN I GET FIXED IF NO PARTS??????????

TAKATA RECALL ISSUE GETTING PARTS TO COMPLETE RECALL. HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER AIRBAG RECALL RESOLVED FOR OVER A YEAR, PASSENGER AIR BAG PARTS NOT AVAILABLE TO DEALER. HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER A YEAR FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG PARTS.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE OF TH AIRBAG NOT BEING SAFE AN SIERIOUS INJURY COULD OCCUR IF IN AN ACIDENT. CALLED TO SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT ,ONE AIRBAG HAS BEEN REPLACED. WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE ALRIGHT TO DRIVE CAR, BEEN ALMOST A YEAR STILL NO RESPONSE ON REPAIR. FEEL LUCK IS RUNNING OUT ON WHEN SOMETHING SERIOUS IS GOING TO GO WRONG. DEALER REALLY DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH ME, EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE.

I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 40 MPH IN MID MORNING TRAFFIC. I WENT THROUGH A TRAFFIC SIGNAL ON A CITY STREET AT WHICH TIME MY ENGINE ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RPM. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE OR STOP IT EVEN THOUGH I HAD DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. I DID LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, SPUN AROUND TOTALLY MY VEHICLE AND ANOTHER AND THEN STOPPING AGAINST GUIDE WIRE. THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING WHEN THE CAR STOPPED. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND I WAS TRANSPORTED BY EMS TO THE ER.

I TOOK MY 2009 MUSTANG TO THE COLUMBUS, OHIO DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG RECALL WHICH EVIDENTLY THEY FIXED. THE NEXT DAY MY AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON WHICH IT HAS NEVER DONE BEFORE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD NOW THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS INOPERABLE AND IT WOULD COST $750 TO REPAIR AND NOW NEITHER AIRBAG WAS WORKING. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS UNDER RECALL AS WELL. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK AND THE SERVICE PERSON HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THAT RECALL CODE 17S01. I EVEN GAVE HIM THE CODE NUMBER. NOW THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPAIR SUPPOSEDLY BECAUSE THE PART OF THE AIRBAG THAT IS BROKEN IS NOT COVERED ON THIS RECALL.

MY CAR STALLED A FEW TIMES WHEN I STOPPED AT STOP SIGNS THEN IT DIDNT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR A FEW WEEKS. THIS TIME I WAS RUNNING INTO DUNKINS TO GET A COFFEE SHUT THE CAR OFF CAME OUT 2 MIN LATER STARTED THE CAR WENT TO DRIVE AWAY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. SHUT OFF CAR WAITED A MIN RESTARTED IT AND NO PROBLEM DROVE ON. A FEW DAYS LATER SAME THING RAN IN STORE CAME OUT AND IT DID IT AGAIN. BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC HE HOOKED IT UP TOLD ME IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. HE TOLD ME FORD HAD RECALLS ON MANY OF THE CARS FOR THIS BUT NO IDEA WHY THE MUSTANG WAS NOT RECALLED CAUSE IT USED THE SAME PART AS THE OTHER CAR. HAD TO GET IT REPLACED. THEY SAID IF I KEPT DRIVING IT LIKE THAT IT WOULD GO INTO LIMP MODE AND THATS VERY BAD WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSE THAT COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE MUSTANG WOULD NOT BE ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR TACHOMETER WAS RACING UP AND DOWN PERIODICLLY WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR BUT THE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE REASON AND SAID THE CAR WAS FINE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT KIND OF PHOTO YOU WANT BELOW. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL PART THE MECHANIC TOOK OUT OF MY CAR AND I HAVE THE INVOICE FOR GETTING IT DONE. IS THAT WHAT YOU NEED?
