I was simply going up a slight hill and the wrench light turned on I lost power she still accelerated but sluggish and changing gears was sluggish too. Turned it off at the house made sure my CAI was good and the light is off. I see tons upon tons of people complaining about the wrench light and the throttlebody. No codes. Something is wrong with them I see people have trouble with 12k on their Throttle body. I wanted to go on here to say that I believe it is EXTREMELY dangerous for the issue to come and go especially on busy roads. The problem comes and goes without a trace. So dangerous it deserves a recall just like my airbag and the hundreds of thousands who reported it

My car IS at the service department at planet ford in spring, tx. I noticed a smell of gasoline and took the vehicle in for inspection when I had the passenger airbag recall done. I special ordered the vehicle in the spring of 2009 through their dealership from ford. the vehicle currently has very low mileage, 28,000. the service manager informed me that the gas tank IS coming apart at the seam and that I would need to pay $3000 to replace the tank. I called ford customer care with my safety concerns and requested they send a representative to planet ford to inspect the tank for defect and what may have caused it. they told me the ford service manager at planet ford would have to do that. when I told my service rep at planet ford what customer care said, the ford rep/technician denied that they could do that and offered me know further help with escalating my concerns to ford. I want ford to see if there was something different with my custom order at their factory that caused it? I want ford to come and see what they built and sold me and to note the safety hazards to my life. I understand it's not under warranty. it makes no sense to me that the shrapnel in their defective airbags were more important to them than a defective gas tank that's coming apart at the seam and off-gassing badly. the gas fumes are very toxic and volatile and could cause an explosion or give me cancer. for the longest time, I thought the fumes were normal, since that mustang has the cap-less gas tank and I was associating the odor near the rear area where I filled-up. it took friends and family telling me 'no, that smell IS not normal." and that it urgently needs to be assessed.

Water pooling behind driver seat on floorboard. Very strong chemical smell in car. Condensation inside all windows everyday. Car parked on driveway next to house. Initially taken to dealer ~1 year ago for odor (no water yet). Could not identify problem, nothing done. Technician doing inspection last week thought it was mold causing the overwhelming smell and there must be a leak. Took to dealer following monday. Dealer determined a seam in the body needed to be repaired to stop the water leak. Dried and cleaned interior to get rid of smell. Unknown how long deodorizing will last though. Concerned about contact with mold.

In december 2018 my car began to make crunching, squeaking and chirping sounds coming from the front suspension when driving slowly over uneven surfaces, small cracks in road, going slowly over speed bumps or up driveway ramps. there IS also a noticeable shimmy in the steering wheel at over 30 mph. in january, my ford service advisor told me I need to replace both front control arm assemblies for approx $1,700 which comes as a huge shock to me considering my car has only 14,000 miles on it!!! I went home to do some research found a tsb for the replacement of the front lower control arms with a re-designed control arm with upgraded ball point shaft and hydro-bushing. Tsb# 09-24-16 link: https://latemodel.cachefly.net/downloads/tsb05-14/tsb09-24-16.pdf there are literally thousands of complaints on websites and blogs across the internet written by other mustang owners who have faced the same problem and had to find less costly and possibly dangerous aftermarket solutions. Apparently ford has known about this defect since 12/2009, has engineered upgraded replacement parts and yet has not moved to proactively replace these dangerous suspension/steering parts since then. Apparently, they are waiting until a customer comes in with a complaint to notify them! A driver could reasonably think this offending sound IS just a natural squeak on an aging car and choose to ignore it until the thin original ball joint shaft gives way causing an accident or even a fatality. I've already spoken with ford customer service supervisors and the ford dealer who both say there's nothing they can do about having ford fix this without putting the full cost and burden on the customer. This IS a terrific opportunity for nhtsa to compel ford to get these dangerous parts off the many cars still operating with these admittedly substandard parts. Thank you

- 10235153For 2000-2024 Ford and Lincoln vehicles, swapping a module from a vehicle for diagnosis purposes is likely to cause errors and is not recommended. It is also not recommended to order a replacement module using a vehicle identification number (VIN) from a different vehicle. Most modules on these affected vehicles are VIN/vehicle specific and hardware variations between modules do exist. Swapping a module from a vehicle or ordering a module using a different vehicle/VIN can cause ineffective repairs and additional vehicle down time. Make sure all appropriate Workshop Manual (WSM) procedures are followed when diagnosing the condition prior to all module replacements and only order modules using the correct VIN.
- 10209374Certain 2005-2014 Mustang, 2005-2006 GT, 2004-2011 Ranger, 2006-2012 Fusion & MKZ/Zephyr, 2006-2011 Milan, and 2007-2010 Edge & MKX Vehicles Driver & Passenger Airbag Module Quality Control Inspection: Ford Motor Company has determined that some vehicles claimed by dealers as repaired under Takata Airbag Safety Recalls 15S21, 17S42, 18S02, 19S01, and 21S12 may not have received the claimed repairs. The propellant in certain Takata airbag inflators can experience an alteration over time with exposure to certain climate conditions. A combination of time, high temperature fluctuations, and humidity contribute to the degradation of the propellant in the inflators. This degradation can cause the propellant to burn too quickly, creating high pressure inside the inflator, and in extreme cases causing the inflator to rupture in the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment. A ruptured inflator can send inflator parts toward vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death. Additional information regarding Takata recalls can be found at www.nhtsa.gov and www.safercar.gov.
- 10177863This article supersedes TSB 19-2026 to update the vehicle model years affected. Some 2000 and newer Ford/Lincoln/Mercury vehicles equipped with aluminum body panels may exhibit corrosion concerns appearing as bubbled and/or peeling paint with or without accompanying white dust. Panel replacement is recommended.
- 10164508Some 2010-2020 vehicles may exhibit distorted glass with a subtle orange peel pattern or streaking etched into the surface. This is caused by hydrofluoric acid which is used in some car wash solutions as a cleaning agent. Hydrofluoric acid can attack the glass and cause visual distortion and/or discoloration on the outer surface which cannot be removed by further cleaning. If this type of distortion is found, inspect the area of the glass that is covered by the cowl and/or molding. The portion of glass that is covered by the cowl or molding will not be affected by the acid. Hydrofluoric acid damage is not a defect in material or workmanship and is not a warrantable condition.
- 10163573Some 2009-2017 Expedition/Navigator, 2009-2014 F-150/Mustang, 2008-2009 Sable, 2008-2019 Taurus/Flex/MKT, 2013-2019 Police Interceptor Sedan/Utility, and 2011-2019 Explorer vehicles may exhibit inoperative or intermittent HVAC blower motor function at various fan speed settings. This may be due to a poor electrical connection at the blower motor speed control. If the blower motor speed control is determined to be the causal part, replacement of the electrical connector pigtail harness (14S411) to the blower motor speed control is also recommended to avoid repeat repairs. Use pigtail harness service part numbers 3U2Z-14S411-ZEA or CU2Z-14S411-FA, as both parts are interchangeable. Refer to Wiring Diagram, Cell 5 for recommended splicing procedures.
- 10160931On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission it is imperative that the converter pilot hub be greased with Motorcraft Multi-Purpose Grease Spray XL-5-A even if grease was not applied from the factory. Also verify that the engine/transmission alignment dowel pins are present as well as the engine crankshaft dowel pin, if equipped, when installing the transmission. Failure to adequately lubricate the converter hub greatly increases the likelihood of the flexplate cracking in the future. Missing dowels may cause a misalignment issue also resulting in a premature failure. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 307-01.
- 10156877Some 2009-2017 Expedition/Navigator, 2009-2014 F-150/Mustang, 2008-2009 Sable, 2008-2019 Taurus/Flex/MKT, 2013-2019 Police Interceptor Sedan/Utility, and 2011-2019 Explorer vehicles may exhibit inoperative or intermittent HVAC blower motor function at various fan speed settings. This may be due to a poor electrical connection at the blower motor speed control. If the blower motor speed control is determined to be the causal part, replacement of the electrical connector pigtail harness (14S411) to the blower motor speed control is also recommended to avoid repeat repairs.

- 10109070The Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual has been revised for diagnosing electronic throttle bodies (ETBs). The ETC_ACT and ETC_DSD PIDs should not used to diagnose possible ETB concerns. The IDS has a limited refresh rate when reading these PIDs and cannot display quickly enough to validate a concern.
