On this 2022 Ford Mustang, the rear camera keeps showing a blue screen so my son is not able to see behind him when in reverse. I initially saw on my Ford app that there was a Service Bulletin 25N17 saying that the camera would be replaced. I called two separate dealers and they told me they didn’t see the bulletin and I would have to pay to have diagnosed and repaired. Today I looked on Ford app and the bulletin is gone. I called Ford Customer Service and was told that the bulletin has been changed to a 15 year unlimited warranty but the updated part will not be available until at least 2/2027 and they will not provide a replacement with the current available camera and I would have to wait for the new updated camera. They told me to tell the dealer to look it up in their SSSC system. In the meantime, my son can’t see behind him when he backs up. The car is so low, you can’t see behind it when backing. Can something be done to force Ford into providing the camera replacement that they have now and later replace with the updated camera? We purchased the car new. It was at Ford today having a Fuel Jumper Line recall completed and they told me the backup camera wasn’t working and told me I needed to have it repaired at my cost. If I purchase an aftermarket replacement camera, will the Ford or the dealership have to reimburse me and replace it when the part is available?

- Risk
- Without a low brake fluid warning light, the vehicle may be driven with low brake fluid, reducing braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will update the body control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 11, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1‑866‑436‑7332.

What 2022 Ford Mustang owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Vehicle Information: 2022 Ford Mustang Date of Incident: XXX Description of Safety Defect & Crash: On XXX, this vehicle suffered a catastrophic concurrent failure of the electronic throttle control and steering systems, resulting in a violent injury crash. Prior to the incident, the vehicle was completely disabled due to electronic throttle errors, requiring us to rent a U-Haul tow dolly to physically haul the vehicle to Apple Ford in [XXX]. The dealership replaced the throttle body assembly to address a wrench/check engine light and airflow codes (DTC P050A). Exactly 30 minutes after picking up the vehicle from the dealership, while driving home at normal speed limits, the vehicle suffered a sudden, uncommanded wide-open throttle failure. The RPMs violently spiked and the supercharger engaged aggressively without driver input. Simultaneously, the steering wheel suddenly and aggressively forced itself completely to the right. The steering wheel violently locked in the rightward position; the driver actively attempted to pull the steering wheel back left, but the vehicle overrode his physical inputs completely. Because the electronic throttle and steering systems completely overrode driver control, the vehicle broke traction from the rear and veered sharply off the roadway, striking a tree. The uncommanded engine force was so severe at impact that the vehicle was launched into the air and rolled until stopped by a second tree. The driver sustained a broken fingertip and severe body bruising, requiring emergency hospital evaluation. Certified phone logs confirm the driver was on a hands-free call troubleshooting the initial mechanical instability up until the exact minute (12:19 PM) the final catastrophic failure occurred and a 911 emergency call was placed. The vehicle is currently being transferred to a Progressive Insurance facility for total loss processing. We are requesting a federal review . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
It's the 4th time in the last 3 weeks that the passenger door which is locked just opens on its own. I start to hear the air hissing and I get a door open alarm in the dashboard. Scary because 2x it was while on I -4 and almost lost control of the car trying to figure out what was happening and trying to reach for the door.
Steering u-joint sticks and prevents steering wheel from turning without a catch/hitch . Not evident at lower speeds but is prevalent at speeds 50 and above. The photos attached show the part and one picture shows a YouTube video showing the EXACT problem. The video title is shown in picture: Dangerous Steering Problem And it is very scary at the higher speeds when it sticks and you have to exert force to move it to right or left. Trying to stay in a lane is a problem!! Electronic steering was checked by dealer last year and they found nothing as they probably didn’t test drive it at the higher speeds; has continued till today and after a road trip yesterday I went online and found this information!

The vehicle is a 2022 Ford Mustang EcoBoost. While driving in traffic, the engine suddenly stalled and shut off without warning. This created an immediate safety risk as the vehicle lost power in the middle of active traffic flow, requiring me to quickly maneuver to avoid blocking traffic and potential collision. The issue appears consistent with a fuel delivery or fuel pressure failure, as the engine restarted immediately after the stall. Prior to this incident, the vehicle had shown intermittent warning signs including check engine light activation and suspected misfire-related alerts. The problem has not yet been fully reproduced or confirmed by a dealer as a root cause, although the vehicle has been presented for service and was found to have no active recall tied to the VIN according to the dealership. No formal inspection or diagnosis confirming the exact failed component has been completed yet. No police, insurance representatives, or manufacturer inspectors have examined the vehicle at this time. Warning lamps (check engine light) and possible misfire-related symptoms were present prior to the failure. These symptoms appeared intermittently over the weeks leading up to the stall, particularly after periods of low fuel operation. Based on the symptoms and behavior, the incident closely matches known fuel system issues reported in similar Ford Mustang EcoBoost vehicles, including those associated with fuel pressure loss leading to engine stall while driving. The suspected system involved is the low-pressure fuel delivery system (fuel pump or related components), which is available for inspection upon request.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that the rear-view camera image was blank or distorted.

The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed, and the failure was associated with the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 25V442000 (BACK OVER PREVENTION); however, the VIN was not included in the recall repair. The vehicle was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 103,244.
