ODI #11731555ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that it was difficult to start the vehicle. While driving at 30 MPH, there was a significant amount of white smoke coming out of the exhaust pipes, reducing the visibility of the rear of the vehicle. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and it was determined that the engine was blown. The dealer determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000.

ODI #11730612ENGINE

The car is using a lot of engine coolant and oil. It is also burning the spark plugs. The check engine light comes out 6k miles after I install new spark plugs and it starts shaking, misfiring, running poorly, not accelerating properly and blowing white smoke through the exhaust on cold start. I know the engines have a defect from factory that causes them to do this. It usually needs a new head gasket, block or engine. Please advise. I read a forum that referred me to this website. The car is well taken care of and has 115k miles.

ODI #11729810ENGINE

Description of the Defect: My 2019 Ford Mustang EcoBoost experienced a premature engine failure caused by internal coolant intrusion, resulting in the need for complete engine replacement. This failure is not related to routine maintenance or a head gasket issue, but rather a known internal engine design defect that allows coolant to intrude into the cylinders over time. The vehicle exhibited symptoms including coolant loss without visible external leaks, rough operation, and engine malfunction. Upon inspection by a Ford dealership, the failure was diagnosed as coolant intrusion into the engine, with the only repair option being long‑block (engine) replacement. Ford has acknowledged this failure mode in Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 19‑2346, which documents coolant intrusion in EcoBoost engines and states that engine replacement—not head gasket repair—is the required corrective action. This bulletin confirms the issue is caused by an internal design flaw that develops over time. Why This Is a Safety Concern: This defect can lead to sudden engine misfires, loss of power, or complete engine failure while driving, which poses a serious safety risk to vehicle occupants and other road users. Engine failure at highway speeds or during normal driving conditions creates the potential for crashes, loss of vehicle control, or roadside breakdowns in unsafe conditions. The failure occurred at very low mileage (36,000 miles), indicating a premature and abnormal engine defect, not normal wear and tear. Yes, it is available for inspection upon request. Yes, it is diagnostic and confirmed by AutoNation Ford Bellevue [XXX] Direct line: [XXX] No, prior warning and symptoms. First appeared on March 16, 2026. No recall exists despite Ford’s TSBs acknowledging the defect. Ford later redesigned the EcoBoost engine, showing awareness of the issue, yet owners are forced to pay for costly engine replacements after warranty expiration.

The rear backup camera on my 2019 Ford Mustang intermittently stops working. At times the screen shows a blue screen or displays a “backup camera not available” message. The issue comes and goes without warning. This creates a safety concern when reversing, as visibility is reduced and the camera cannot be relied upon. The problem appears to be electrical and is not consistently functioning.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that the passenger’s and driver’s side door latches unlocked while driving approximately 70 - 75 MPH, and the doors became slightly opened. The contact grabbed the interior handle and closed the door. The contact had received information related to the door lock failures. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the vehicle could not be repaired under recall because an undisclosed campaign had expired in November 2025. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure by the dealer and confirmed that the recall campaign had expired. The failure mileage was approximately 144,000.

ODI #11713036STEERING,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

While driving at normal road speed, the vehicle suddenly displayed multiple warnings at the same time indicating that AdvanceTrac (electronic stability control), traction control, and ABS were disabled, and the vehicle entered a reduced functionality state. These warnings appeared simultaneously without any hard braking, loss of traction, or driver input at the time. The warnings and system faults then cleared in a cascading manner over a short distance, with each system returning one after another while continuing to drive, without shutting off the engine. After approximately a few thousand feet, all warning messages disappeared and the systems appeared to return to normal operation on their own. This has occurred more than once since ownership. The first occurrence happened at approximately 50 mph. The second occurrence happened at approximately 20 mph and occurred only seconds before an emergency braking event in the rain to avoid a collision. At the time the warnings appeared, the vehicle had temporarily lost ABS, stability control, traction control, and related braking assistance systems, creating a serious safety risk during an actual emergency maneuver. After the events, an OBD-II scan was performed and no stored fault codes or diagnostic trouble codes were present. However, for the next several engine on/off cycles, the steering and traction control behavior felt abnormal, as if the systems were only partially engaged, even though no warning lights or messages were displayed. No permanent warning lights remained illuminated afterward. The problem is intermittent and difficult to reproduce. No collision occurred, no repairs have yet been performed, and the cause is currently unknown

I am filing this complaint regarding a vehicle I purchased from Florida Fine Cars in Miami Gardens on [XXX}. The vehicle is a Ford Mustang GT with a Roush supercharger (VIN: [XXX] ). Immediately after purchase, the car exhibited serious performance and safety issues that were never disclosed by the dealer. Within hours of driving home, the vehicle showed severe power loss, hesitation during acceleration, and loud mechanical noises at highway speeds. These issues were not detectable during the brief, low-speed test drive the dealership provided. Additionally, by the next morning, the car emitted a strong plastic or chemical odor under the hood, which intensified in the Florida heat — suggesting a possible engine, exhaust, or emissions-related fault. The dealer misrepresented the condition of the vehicle, repeatedly claiming it was “fully inspected” and “in excellent condition.” However, a certified Ford dealership technician later confirmed that the car “ran like garbage” and required immediate diagnostic attention. These defects are potentially safety-related, as they directly affect the engine’s performance, drivability, and emissions integrity. The vehicle could stall, lose power during acceleration, or emit toxic fumes. Florida Fine Cars has refused to take responsibility, despite clear evidence that the car was sold with undisclosed defects. Their actions constitute false advertising, misrepresentation, and a disregard for consumer safety. I urge NHTSA to record this complaint and investigate whether similar vehicles sold by Florida Fine Cars (or others with aftermarket superchargers) have unreported safety or emissions defects. This poses a serious risk to consumer safety and compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I purchased this 2019 Ford Mustang Ecoboost 2.3L brand new in July 2019. It has been well maintained, regularly serviced by the authorized Ford Dealer where I purchase the car. It has never been in an accident, and has only 36,100 miles. This vehicle passed inspection last month. The check engine light came on, and then had rough cold starts. I have been informed by the service station that antifreeze is leaking into the engine, and a new engine is required (estimated cost of $11,000). After researching this matter, it appears that there is a design flaw with this vehicle, given the high number of similar occurrences with 2015-2019 Ford ecoboost vehicles. It is my understanding there is even a class action lawsuit related to this issue. Luckily, there was no accident resultant from this engine malfunction in my case, but the NHTSA should investigate this issue, given the high risk it poses to highway safety!

ODI #11672603POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

My vehicle recently had a head gasket leak due to a faulty engine block design. I noticed one day the coolant was lower than it should be but nothing concerning, over a month or so it got progressively lower & the car would also sputter/misfire on startups from time to time. This is due to coolant slipping through the gasket & getting into the cylinder & oil which can lead to catastrophic engine failure or worse. Eventually I got a check engine light & was told it was a misfire after running a diagnostic on the vehicles OBD2. I researched what the issue could be &it became more & more apparent that it was a head gasket issue. The oil was contaminated & coolant was getting very low. Apparently it’s a big issue since Ford is now facing a class action over the defect. The vehicle also has some issues with the transmission, for example ill start the car up on a cold California morning 50°F & let it warm up before driving & when I go into reverse after the car will jolt hard as if you were backing up & hitting something like a wall, even in the afternoon when you start it from a cold start & go into reverse it will do it. Not sure why but it’s concerning to say the least. The transmission also feels confused when shifting, when I’m in 4th about to push fit it will get confused & revs will drop slightly before going up again to up shift, also when downshifting due to braking the shifts can feel a bit hard, especially when needing to stopping fast. The engine & transmission are the most importantly parts of a vehicle & without them working properly is something no one should have to face.

A Ford dealership confirmed the issue and diagnosed it as an internal leak in the clutch drum assembly, referred to as a “CDF drum internal leak.” The vehicle has not shown any warning lights or dashboard messages, and the symptoms developed gradually before becoming consistent. The malfunction causes the car to unexpectedly lurch forward during normal driving, which poses a safety risk to myself and others, particularly in traffic, at intersections, or when merging. This unpredictable behavior could lead to loss of control or rear-end collisions. The transmission remains installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request; however, will be fixing it soon since it is my only car. To date, the vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership and not by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives.

A vehicle was listed for sale in June 2025 with an odometer reading of 115,152 miles. However, a CarFax report dated March 13, 2025, showed the mileage as 37,707. This is a discrepancy of over 77,000 miles in less than three months, raising serious concerns about odometer tampering or title fraud. The issue was discovered prior to vehicle delivery, and the transaction was canceled. The dealership has not provided any explanation for the mileage increase. This discrepancy may mislead future buyers and compromise the vehicle’s maintenance and safety records. The vehicle was not inspected by a mechanic before cancellation. The concern has been reported to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), California DMV, and CFPB.

We purchased a Ford Mustang for our daughter 6 years ago, and have had the following ongoing dangerous and expensive widespread issue, 6 incidents to date, caused by Ford knowingly using soy based wiring (as opposed to petroleum based) for environmental reasons, that attract rats like it was cheese. The rats have been eating through essential wiring and once in the car also eating hoses and insulation, putting our daughter’s and others lives in grave danger and costing us thousands of dollars in continuous repairs, the last time rats ate through her brakes! (luckily discovered by warning lights in her car before her brakes failed) Ford is very aware of this issue and receive many complaints but do nothing, except refer me to you after I filed a complaint with them. No warranty covers this. Only my neighbors who don't have cars with soy based wiring don't have this issue, showing that this is clearly the cause. In a futile attempt to combat this, we have expensive monthly exterminator rat service, noise makers in her car, glue pads under her car, in her car (removed when driving), spray peppermint and bleach, and check the car daily. (Governor Newsom banned rat poison in Calif making it more challenging) But these expensive and time consuming measures are not full-proof as evidence of our continual costly repairs, and nothing will work until the root cause is addressed, the soy wiring. Ford needs to replace soy based wiring with petroleum based wiring, pay for all rat damage retroactively and future repairs until the soy wiring is replaced. (I have copies of all repair receipts, dating so far from Nov 2019 through April 2025) Just one of many article links in a quick google search that shows this is a widespread issue: "Rodents can’t get enough of Fords soy coated wiring and that’s a big problem!"

I have taken my vehicle to Ford. Called Ford as well. And when at a stop, and while in drive, my car will lunge/ jerk and if my car was behind a vehicle too close could hit it. I also believe that If a person were in front of the vehicle it could lunge forward into them. I see in google that many 2019 mustang owners have reports this as well. This jerk/ lunge has happened a hand full of times. Two Ford dealerships and ford.com have advised they do not have reports from consumers on this.

My name is Michelle Wright and I have purchased Ford vehicles most of my life. I love Ford vehicles and have had amazing experiences with Westlie Ford and Landmark Ford. I purchased my vehicle at Vancouver Ford, which is the most unprofessional and unethical dealership. My story starts October 2021, when I purchased a 2019 Ford Mustang from Vancouver Ford. I paid cash for the vehicle and was provided an AutoCheck, not a Carfax the day I had purchased this car. Over the last 8 months I have had several issues that made think my car was an accident but was assured it was never in an accident. After pulling the Carfax, I realized it was in a wreck and had an accident date of July 2019. This led me to look for an accident report, which was filed by a Portland Police officer on July 23, 2019.

On 11/27/21 I was driving my 2019 mustang GT convertible with approx 15,000 miles. While going around a curve (not at an excessive speed) on dry pavement, the car became uncontrollable and began to spin out. As much as I tried to brake and steer into the slide, the car became more and more uncontrollable and felt as though it were speeding up. I only came to a stop after slamming into a tree and rolling over to the other side of the road. Vehicle is a total loss. I was lucky and only suffered minor injuries, but it very easily could have been much worse. The police and paramedics who arrived at the scene were expecting a fatality or severe injuries. In the end I was ticketed for failure to reduce speed. I'm losing my mind explaining to the police and insurance that the car sped up on its own and all control of the vehicle were lost. I am in danger of losing my license because of this and no one is believing that this could possibly happen and convinced me to state that I was probably driving too fast. This is a deadly problem. The internet is full of videos demonstrating this same problem: complete loss of control in a low speed turn. Before you ask, I wasn't racing, I wasn't drifting, I wasn't spinning my tires or doing donuts; I was just trying to go home to my kids who almost lost their father. If there is any saved data or physical evidence that needs to be saved, action is needed ASAP before the insurance company scraps it. Also, it should be noted that in the week leading up to the accident, the rear end would become loose when going around corners. I had planned to have it addressed at the next oil change.

The 10 speed automatic transmission is not shifting properly. The car lurches and it feels/sounds like the transmission is going to fall out of the car when putting the car in drive or reverse from park. There is hesitation while shifting during acceleration. The car should downshift to a lower gear when extra power is needed. Also, the transmission shifts hard when coming to a stop and feels like undo wear and tear is being placed on the transmission.

Engine – Timing Chain / Cam Phasers (3.5L EcoBoost)
COVERAGE:10 years / 150,000 miles from original sale date

Second-generation 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engines in 2017–2020 F-150 and other models exhibit timing chain wear, camshaft phaser rattling (especially on cold starts), and rough running. Ford extended coverage on the timing components and cam phasers under Special Service Message SSM 48685 and related programs.

Coverage eligibility depends on your VIN, original sale date, and current mileage. Always verify with an authorized dealer or manufacturer customer service — programs may have been updated since this database was compiled.
