2015 Ford Mustang: stuck in gear or won't shift

Filed Aug 13, 2024 · Brakes, Lights · CA

There is a break pedal pad that is broken. It doesn't allow the car to accelerate correctly and car goes in limp mode. All break lights are illuminated when car is turned off. There is a recall for this, but I purchased my car in CA. I think the car was originally a Nevada car. Am I still eligible for the recall even if I didn't get the notification and my state of purchase was not mentioned?

I was driving home from work and all the sudden it went into limp mode, I could barely get her home. Then I found yellow pieces of plastic in my floorboard. My brake light would not go off so I had to unplug the battery. Very scary to have that happen on the interstate, luckily I got off on an exit.

A plastic clip ("Brake Pedal Bumper") broke and fell out of place, causing the brake pedal to no longer reach the brake light switch. The brake lights now remain illuminated permanently, even with the brakes released. This also caused the engine and transmission to go into "limp mode", the engine no longer revving over 2,000 RPM, the transmission not shifting, and hill-start assist and traction control no longer working, making the car unsafe to drive. The brake lights will remain on even when the car is completely shut off and locked, draining and damaging the battery. It is my understanding that this is a known issue, and there was a recall for this in certain states. (Safety Recall 22S02, Regional Recall 22R01). There should be a national recall for this, as the affected part appears to be of low quality, and causes safety issues when it fails, with the car's drivability and lighting affected.

The little rubber pad that it attached to the brake pedal disintegrated. Without that pad the vehicle goes into limp mode and won’t drive over 40. Don’t know why the brake switch is connected to other electronics in the vehicle that would make it go into limp mode. Very unsafe while driving on the highway.

My wife notice the brake lights were stuck one. Tired several different steps to see if the problem could be remedied. Such as starting the car, locking unlocking, nothing seem to care of the issue. After doing some research online on one of the mustang forums there were a few people that had the same issue. It seems that there is a little white plastic button on the brake lever that depresses the brake light switch. This seems to dry and crack and fall off the pedal assembly ,see attached photos. So instead of letting the car set all day and drain the battery I had my wife drive the car home. On the way home she experienced a running issue the car seem to shutter would not go above 30 to 40 miles an hour. Fortunately it was all side roads on the way home. If this had happened going down the interstate it could've been a big problem. From what I've read apparently the car goes into limp mode? Sensing that the brakes have been applied? From the research that I've been able to look into the little plastic button which is probably about two dollars to produce is not available separate. The only way that this can be replaced is a brake pedal assembly which I read is approximately $300 plus labor. Some people are purchasing a rubber clutch pedal bumper from toyota and putting in place of the plastic one ford had. My major issue is that if she was on the interstate in the car slow down to 30 miles an hour who knows what could've happened. I believe this to be a safety issue since the car does not run properly when this part fails. I've been told the replace pedal assembly has been upgraded from the original part.
