The lane assist kept pulling to the right when the lane markings were unclear. Entering highway, lanes go from 2 to 1. We were merging when a car tried to merge into us. We moved over to the right and the lane assist pulled us into a curb. We ended up in a roll over accident and NO air bags opened or went off.

The steering becomes uncontrollable for a second pulling to the right the wheel feels like it is locking up. [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I just bought a 2016 mustang gt from a local dealership. Since then I've had my car in their shop 5 times for a intermetint extreme pull to left. I have made several attempts to have this taken care of now it is getting to the point where I am having to research possible issues and tell their mechanics. This is the 3rd car I've been through in 2 months with this same issue a 2013 mustang gt and a 2015 mustang gt now my newest 2016 gt as they are getting to the point of tired of me and basically telling me it's time to deal with ford and figure out this issue and report back to them. I'm really starting g to lose faith in these vehicles
Bought a 2015 mustang gt feb 28 at 9pm with 19200 miles on it. March 1 I noticed the car had 3 different tires brands on it. The car pulls bad to the left under acceleration, when you let off the gas it pulls right. Laurel ford did a 4 wheel alignment on the car and it still pulls. Now they say it is the struts and the orded 2 new ones for the frount. I think it is the tires not the struts but they won't replace the tires because they would haft to pay for them. They only want to replace parts that warranty will pay for. They said no way they would pay for 4 new tires. This is a safety issue ⚠️ very dangerous driving the car because it is a manuel transmisaion and every time you accelerate the car pulls left holding the wheel straight does not stop it, it still pulls left, then right when you take your foot off the gas. What ford dealer would sell a car with 19,200 miles on it with 3 mis mached tires on it. Also the tires have different load and speed rateings on each one, like 101y, and 105y, and 100 y. I dont know wats wrong, I think laurel ford is stalling, why???? I have had the car for 15 days now still not fixed. I guess some one will look into this after some bodys gets killed like me and what ever car I hit head on at 70 MPH.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford mustang. While driving 50 MPH, the ABS independently engaged and the vehicle pulled to the right. The advancetrac (electronic stability control system) indicator illuminated. The dealer diagnosed that the steering angle sensor failed and the electronic power steering assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000.
My electronic power steering has failed 3 times-the car engages the brakes without warning and pulls to one side.then the "service the advance trac warning light "comes on. I have read that there are major safety issues with these electronic power steering rack assemblies.I am concerned about the my safety.I have read of total failures that have resulted in crashes and injuries.ford has refused to give me any help-they want to charge me about $3500.00 for the repair.I filed my complaint earlier today verbally with your team-complaint number-10967970
8 failures on front lower control arms. Begins as a sqeaking/groaning from the front end. To this point, has progressed to a wander in the steering, excessive tire wear and jerky steering.
At about 2000 miles I noticed the steering tending to pull to the left preventing the car from going straight down the road. It appears to happen on any road surface and was intermittent. The dealership suggested the mustangs steering is very sensitive and was responding to road conditions. They deflated the tires as well as conducting a diagnostic. As time passed the condition worsened and developed to the right as well as the left. In addition the car developed a clunk noise when the wheels were turned hard left or right, also intermittent. My dealer checked it out, saw the pulling to the right as the technician road with me, and completed an alignment. They were unable to reproduce the issue but I experienced it as I drove it off the lot following their "repair." it continues to happen and requires consistent attention to ensure that when the steering goes awry it can be corrected. The last repair was 12/2 and 12/3 and the car continues to manifest the same problem. The dealership insists that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle that they can determine. I intend to call the ford company.
Car is a 2007 ford mustang gt convertible with 19,500 miles. I have noticed that recently the car no longer tracks properly, and tends to pull to the left or right with unevenness in the pavement. When brought in to dealer for regular service, was informed that both front lower ball joints are loose. I have researched around the web and have found that this appears to be a fairly common problem with these cars. Car is just out of warranty despite its low mileage.
2007 ford mustang gt has intermittent braking problems, it pulled hard right/left. I have been to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle twice, the first time they felt it and cut the rotors. The second time they said they could not duplicate problem. I went to another dealership, who determined this car should go to engineering ,and probably should be bought back. At the time the service manager drove it the vehicle was all over the road. I contacted ford customer service on several occasions, most recent on 06/15/07, and they were supposed to contact me, nothing done as of yet. I am still driving this car and it is not safe. I had no choice, it was my everyday vehicle. I told ford they should get me a car to drive, but no response.
