The weld that connects the clutch pedal bar to the tube it pivots in broke on my 2015 Mustang. This makes the pedal wobbly and can prevent the clutch from being fully depressed. For months, the clutch was squeaking. Upon inspection, I noticed the weld was broken. I have not been in an accident because of this, however, the clutch pedal is now loose and can at times hit the 'neutral' switch (which measures full depression of the clutch to allow the car to start), which prevents inconsistent depression of the clutch, leading to unsafe operation.

Grinding or squealing brakes by model year
What owners say
I have a 2015 mustang gt premium with a standard transmission and when ever I'm at a stop and press on clutch to put into 1st. Gear there is a thud sound like the clutch isn't holding. And going into 2nd. Gear there's a grinding feeling like synchros are broken.
Brembo brake kit squeals when driving at slow speed coming to a stop. My car as 13k miles on it
There is a high pitched squeal when applying the brakes in stop and go traffic, or turning around. Seems to happen more early morning (dew or wetness). This started with about 500 miles on the car, and service indicated the brakes needed broke in, still continues with 4,000 miles on the car.
Under light pressure the brakes squeal in a high pitch. Especially in stop and go traffic. They also squeal when braking around corners . I see excessive wear in the rear rotors for a car with less than 3000 miles also. The dealership said it was the composition of the rotor metal that it was no worries ..I worry . I was a master tech for 15years and this isn't correct . I bought a $50g car so I could have a good car and warrantee.. ?????
Loud thud when shifting, grinding during shifting of all gears, intermittent high RPM lockout. Ford claims its "normal".

- What is wrong
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, and 2015 Mustang vehicles originally sold or ever registered, in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Hawaii. Exposure to certain environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, high humidity, and salt air can cause the brake pedal bumper to corrode and separate from the brake pedal.
- Risk
- A separated brake pedal bumper can cause the brake lights to illuminate continuously, causing confusion to other drivers and increasing the risk of a crash. On automatic transmission vehicles, a missing brake pedal bumper can allow the driver to shift the vehicle out of the "PARK" position without depressing the brake, allowing the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the brake pedal bumpers and clutch pedal bumpers, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed on March 4, 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 13, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1‑866‑436‑7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S02.
