Electric seat won't move. Have read countless others having same problem online. The issue is a factory defect. Magnets inside electric motor of power seats are put in place with glue that comes undone easily inside motor causing it to be unable to move. Dealerships and shops cost to replace is insane, never below $1000. This is a huge safety concern as I moved my seat far back while relaxing before work and when I got off later the seat would not move. Ford should be responsible for replacing these defective parts immediately.

The last two mustangs I purchased (both were new cars) developed electrical issues after the warranty expired. My current 2011 mustang has had numerous electrical issues within the cabin of the car. In addition to the electrical issues, the hood developed problems with the paint such as bubbling, peeling and rusting. My frustration with ford grows more intense each time the air-conditioner, along with numerous other devices associated with the dashboard, quits operating and the windows will not function. I often find myself encountering this issue on a ninety plus degree day. The electrical issue can occur when moving or at a complete stop. There is no pattern to when it happens, or which electrical items will quit functioning. It does happen more often with warmer temperatures and the air-conditioner is in use. However, it also occurs when the air-conditioner is not in use.

The car will "shut down" (wrench error light) at any time, anywhere, any speed. Very dangerous!!! Error code p2111 throttle body actuator stuck open. I have seen numerous posts on this. Ford really needs to fix this!!! I will no longer let my child drive this car. So unsafe!! It happened to me several times a day probably three times in the last week. The vehicle is in motion, highway, city, straight, turns, fast, slow.

I am having major electrical issues which ford will not address. Sometimes this is intermittent, sometimes it is constant. Here is what happens: I get a barrage of errors on the dash, the radio and air conditioner will cycle on and off multiple times (sometimes will remain off); rear brake lights stop working, rear turn signal stops working. It does this randomly, sometimes for an extended period. I worry that someone may not check the brake lights or turn signal and be severely injured or killed in an accident. I have alerted ford about this and believe that it fell on deaf ears. The car can be in motion, stationary, city, highway, rain, snow, sleet, or sun, driven aggressively or gently. Nothing seems to trigger the problem, it just happens. The car has been garaged a large part of its life.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford mustang. While pulling into the driveway at 5 MPH, the power steering failed and seized without being able to turn the wheel. A message that stated "service trac control" and other unknown warning indicators illuminated. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 51,000.

Electrical system problem. There does not seem to be a trigger in regard to rain, hot, or cold weather conditions or how it is being driven. I have had a ford dealership work on this to no avail. I will start with the safety aspect that is affected. It will do all of these things at once and then slowly come back online, sometimes the errors do not correct themselves. 1. No brake lights 2. No rear turn signal 3. No heat/air (it will turn on and off) - which is bad in inclement weather for old people 4. Brake light, traction control light, tire pressure monitor, service engine, all have errors. 5. Radio will turn on and off. It will cycle through these things failing, they may fail multiple times per minute or just stay in fail mode, or they may just correct themselves. This started to happen infrequently and slowly stepped up to very frequently. I will attach a link to a youtube video that will show my car. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1zqr4wbvqw

I was driving on the freeway going 60mph when all of a sudden my cars power just cut off and it went into limp mode and had the worst idle at 1100 RPM until I turned off the vehicle. I then turned it back on and the limp mode light went away but a few more miles up it cut power again and almost caused a wreck as I had to quickly think and get to the side of the freeway. It happened 2 more times that day til I got it home and got the engine code p2111. I found out later its a faulty throttle body that they used in fusions and other models and everyone is having this same issue of it randomly cutting off. It's a faulty throttle body that should be recalled!

The car was in motion going down the interstate about 70 MPH. All of the sudden the car speed dropped slowly until it reached about 20 MPH with the gas pedal all the way to the floor and it would not pick speed back up. The service light came on and I pulled over. When the gas pedal was pushed while the car was in park it would not rev at all. Once the car was back in motion it would not go over 15mph. After the car was turned off and the battery reset the car was working like normal for a few days. Once again driving down the interstate out of nowhere the service light came on and the cars speed declined once again, once the car was turned off and reset it worked fine. This problem keeps happening with no warning
