What 2015 Ford Mustang owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
All wheel nuts had to be replaced when new tires were replaced Cost for the nuts $226. NO inspected or change the nuts that were swollen. by Ford. Did the recall No06tice end last year in August.
It stolen
Brought in for service. Ford found Swollen distorted lug bolts. Could not rotate tires. Potential safety issue. All need to be replaced.
The aluminum top part of my wheel lug nuts rounded off and had to be replaced.
Pueda revisar todos los untos de mi carro sobre todo el sistema de traccion. I can check all the toes in my car over the entire traction system.
The mustang has the ecoboost performance package with 19" ebony black painted wheels. The car has only 30,000 miles on it despite being 5 years old the lug nuts on each wheel had to be replaced because the nuts were swelling and a standard size wrench could not remove them. This problem was detected at 25,000 miles and verified by the ford dealer recently. Today, the ford dealer replaced the lug nuts, which cost $13.03 apiece plus installation and tax for a total of $316.91. However, the real problem is the potential that a wheel could not be removed in case of a flat tire out on a highway. In addition, I can't believe that lug nuts whose threads were not stripped need replacement which appears to be at 30,000 mile intervals. I have cars that have over 100,000 miles on them and never have lug nuts needed to be replaced. There is a safety issue here because being able to change a tire when necessary should not require a major operation.
Electric power streering wheel failure under cold weather condition
Had a flat tire and did not have a spare. So, I had the car towed to a service station to have the tire repaired. Then I bought a ford spare tire kit for my 2015 mustang and discovered the lug wrench did not fit the lugs on the car. The dealer stated the lugs on the car had to be replaced and I was responsible for the cost ($127.20). Since this is a latent defect, query why ford is not responsible for replacing the lugs.
Wheel lugs de-laminate requiring replacements to be purchased. Factory provides lug wrench will not fit the de-laminated lugs making a tire removal impossible on the road to change a flat tire.
