My 2013 Ford mustang 2dr coupe is stalling losing power and engine is completely shutting down while I'm driving on the highway which could cause a fatal crash. The engine light and oil light comes on after this happens but the oil light eventually goes off. This recall is on several vehicles but not mine. The dealership has a week of waiting to take my car in. So in the meantime I have to put myself at risk and continue to drive my car. Something needs to change as to notifying use car owners of recalls.

Vehicle intermittently hesitates to accelerate after coming to a complete stop.this first occured in 2019 and only happened a hand full of times until november 2020. In recent instances it has repeatedly stalled at stop lights and in traffic situations where I need to slow to a near stop, such as a yield or sharp turn.the rpms jump high and engine revs but doesn't hardly move for several seconds, after which it jerks suddenly forward and a yellow wrench light comes on in the dashboard. It has become a daily occurence and mechanics have suggested it to be related to a computing error that the ford dealership should address.

I bought a used 2013 v6 ford mustang used in august 2019. Almost since the begining I've had a problem with it stalling out. The engine itself doesn't stop running but the car loses acceleration and it does not accelerate when the gas is pressed. This has mostly happened when the car is in motion but has also happened when not moving. It has happened mostly while on city streets. This has today I had a problem with this and the check engine light came on. I put a code reader on the port and received the code "p2111 throttle actuator control system stuck open." I believe this is the same problem that was alleged with the 2005-2012 ford escape vehicle.

Speedometer shut off while driving on highway. Then the transmission downshifted and car started to swerve as the transmission RPM went into the red. I had to hit brake to get control of vehicle. The car has under 80,000 miles. I slowed the vehicle down and pulled over to the shoulder. I shut the vehicle off and then checked around vehicle. I then got I. And restarted and all gauges came back on and resumed cautiously to my destination at a reduced highway speed of 45mph rather than 65moh. Luckily no vehicle was behind me or beside me when the vehicle swerved.

After having my car for 5.5 years, it started to shift gears on its own (it's an automatic) and brake/stall when I'm going low speeds. Especially when I'm at a stop light or stop sign, it will not allow me to accelerate (been stuck in middle of intersections about 5 times) even with my foot on the accelerator. The engine does not shut off...so I will turn my car off and back on to get going again. One time I was on the free way with a full tank of gas going 65 MPH and my dash board went completely red and speedometer went to zero...the car did not stop until I manually turned if off on the side of the road. Also, it once did the opposite when I was trying to brake before a red light, the car jolted/accelerated forward while my foot was on the gas. I've replaced the air filters, battery, alternator, and engine's wire harness (all at separate times) and the issue remains.

Was driving my 2013 mustang home from my parents house the car didn't want to shift or move even at full throttle stop in the middle of the road shut the vehicle off and restarted it drove home just fine. Went to drive it later that night and again car didn't want to shift nor move but this time I lost my speedometer and all my digital display in the center went blank. As the days and weeks went by the problem started becoming more frequent so I took it to an auto zone to get the codes checked had codes p0720 and p0722 (output speed sensor inside molded lead frame) come up on the code reader. I then called my cousin who is a ford dealer mechanic to look up my codes and he told me to come by the shop and showed me what the codes were from the software from ford they used. We then looked up to see if there was a recall on the part and found a recall from ford for the 2012 mustang with the 6r80 which is the same auto transmission that I have. The cut off build date for the recall was february 2012 and my vehicle was made in august of 2012. I also read of other people with the same year and transmission that I have having the same issues as me. I called ford customer service to see if I they would extend the recall to cover 2013 mustangs they said they would not. I personally have had multiple times where the shifting has almost caused a wreck. An instance here recently was I was pulling out of the parking lot of the company I work at and the car started off fine then stalled and didn't want to go and almost got t boned. Another instance was a couple days before thanksgiving and I was headed to my parents house and just merged onto the highway and the car started acting up and could of easily caused a pile up near the ramp and got someone killed.bought the car from a ford dealership with 34k miles now has about 76k miles.

My vehicle has failed without warning four times in the past 3 months. Once the vehicle fails it is in a no-start condition. Furthermore, there is random stalling when I'm driving the vehicle and the has been for quite some time. Once in the vehicle fails it will not restart. The first time my car failed was upon startup when I was at work for 4 hours. I came out to my car to start it and it would not start.
