2016 Ford Mustang Speed Control & Cruise Problems

Brake Stop Lamps Remain On When I was driving, my car was having throttle/acceleration issues. When I had my foot on the gas, my car would accelerate and the RPMs would rise, but then all of a sudden the acceleration stopped as if I was not applying throttle. I had to constantly take my foot off the gas and reengage for the car to drive home. When I parked my car, I noticed that my brake lights were all on even though my car was turned off & it is draining the battery out. I did some research & found out there is a recall for this issue (22S02) for the 2015 Ford model & Dealership mentioned that recall doesn't apply to my vehicle. So I have to get the repair done by replacing the break light switch & Break pedal bumper assembly with my local Auto zone shop and pay from my pocket.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET THE ENGINE WILL SHUTDOWN WITH NO WARNINGS. YOU START LOSING SPEED BUT ALL THE REST OF THE DASH LIGHTS AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING CONTINUE TO WORK. THIS CAUSES A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION WHERE OTHER PEOPLE COULD RUN INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR. AS OF 12/17/2018 I HAVE TOOK THE AT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES WHERE THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY THEN WITH IN THREE DAY THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN GOING DOWN THE STREET AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME THE CAR WAS TOOK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE POWER CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED AND WITHIN THREE DAY THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN AGAIN GOING DOWN THE STREET SEVERAL TIMES. AS OF 12/17/2018 THE CAR WAS TOOK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD TO VERIFY FOR THEMSELVES THAT THE CAR WAS DOING THIS HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING BACK AT THIS POINT YET. THIS CONDITION HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE HIT FROM BEHIND THREE TIMES.

LOST POWER IN INSANELY BUSY IRVING/DALLAS INTERSECTION NEAR MAJOR HIGHWAY - COULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE ACCIDENT! 5400 PLUS MILES. FORD 2016 MUSTANG, V6 FROM A STANDING POSITION, SECOND CAR IN LINE AT RED LIGHT. LIGHT CHANGES, TRAFFIC STARTS TO MOVE, I STEPPED ON GAS AND NOTHING! HAD TO CREEP ACROSS TWO LANES OF BUSY TRAFFIC AND LIMP UP ONTO A SIDEWALK AS THAT THERE WAS NO BREAKDOWN SHOULDER. THAN GOD THE CURB WAS ABOUT 2 TO 3 INCHES HIGH. WRENCH ICON ON DASH: "SEE MANUAL". TURNED ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON - RPMS SURGED TO THE RED AND THEN DROPPED TO BELOW 1000. TRIED THE OFF/ON THING ABOUT 3 TIMES - SAME RESULTS. ENGINE WAS CHUGGING, MISSING, EVEN EXHAUST WAS CHUGGING LIKE SOME OLD JALOPY! CHECKED THE ELECTRONIC GAUGE READINGS - EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL EXCEPT THE VACUUM PRESSURE - IT WAS BETWEEN 5 AND 0! AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO DEALERSHIP, FORD ROADSIDE ASSIST AND TOW COMPANY; TURNED CAR OFF AGAIN - 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE LATER, RESTARTED IT - AND IT WAS RUNNING PERFECT - ENGINE LIGHT HOWEVER WAS ON. VACUUM LEVEL WAS RUNNING BETWEEN 17 AND 20. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP; IT'S A WEEK NOW AND I HAVE JUST LEARNED FROM THEM THAT IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY. WAS TOLD THAT "FORD HAD A BAD BATCH OF THESE" ON THIS ENGINE SIZE (V6). THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE REP STATED IT'S TAKEN AS LONG AS A "COUPLE OF MONTHS" BUT FORD IS GETTING FASTER AT GETTING THE PART OUT, SO IT COULD BE A WEEK TO TWO WEEKS TO GET IT IN. I HAVE SEEN REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM FOR EXPLORERS - FROM JUN 5TH 2016 - STATING THAT FORD HAD 7000 THROTTLE BODIES ON BACK ORDER! THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THESE THINGS LOSING POWER LIKE THIS ON HIGHWAYS AND IN MAJOR TRAFFIC. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS THROTTLE BODY!
