STRUCTURE:BODY

Right after picking up my 2015 Ford Mustang from dealer service on July 23, 2025, the hood suddenly flew open while I was driving, completely blocking my view and creating a serious risk of collision. The dealership had performed multiple recalls and a multi-point inspection but did not flag any hood latch issue. The vehicle was released as “safe to drive,” yet this happened immediately after leaving their service. This was an extremely dangerous situation that could have caused a serious accident. The force of the hood flying up also caused major damage to the hood and surrounding components. The dealership took the car back and even offered me a rental, but they are refusing to take responsibility or repair the damage, claiming they are not at fault. I am reporting this because it is a serious safety issue and I want to ensure it is properly investigated to prevent similar incidents. I am also requesting that the dealer or manufacturer repair the damage or reimburse me for the cost to fix it, as this was caused immediately after their service.

POWER TRAIN

The 2015 Mustang has been driven about 62,000 miles. The car has not been driven excessively in the 8 + years my wife and I have owned it. I recently heard a noise from the car. I brought the car to a local reputable repair shop. They determined, that there was a problem with the differential. They took the housing case off and found metal shreds in the case. They feel that a bearing failed caused the complete differential failure. I talked to Ford and they have no open recalls for this and recommended contacting the NHTSA. The car is at the repair shop waiting for parts to repair the differential at a cost of approximately $3,000.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

My vehicle had a recall: Ford recall 22S06 involves 2015-2017 Ford Mustangs due to a potential issue with the rearview camera. The wiring for the rearview camera may be loose or damaged, causing the camera to display a blank or distorted image. This can reduce the driver's visibility behind the vehicle, potentially increasing the risk of a crash. The dealership at Ford Chapman Automobile claims the issue is fixed but they never fixed anything on my backup camera. It was blinking and they said it is normal for this vehicle. My backup camera is not working and they are refusing to fix it. I have contacted Ford but they also refer to the report from the dealership and say according to the dealership the problem is fixed and there is nothing that could do. My car has very limited visibility and this causes problems when backing up.

The passenger side door will open by itself. This happened twice within the last month with a passenger in the seat and once with no passenger. The warning lamp will come with an alert to say that the passenger side door is open. This puts the safety of those in the car at risk of falling out, or possibly an accident if the door completely opens. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by anyone. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

STRUCTURE:BODY

The driver side fills with water during heavy rain. This is not due to a leak in the convertible top or any window seals. The water is coming from below. The water is at risk of causing rust build up, electrical malfunction, and mold growth. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealer or independent service center, every time I bring it up they say they don't cover leaks so I have yet to be able to get it checked out. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the the first appearance. This has happened numerous times since 6/17/2023
