2015 Ford Mustang Brakes

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.

THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THE 2015 MUSTANGS. THE RECALL ONLY INVLOLVES VEHICLES FROM CERTAIN STATES WITH HIGH TEMPS AND OR HUMIDITY BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE STATE OF MISSOURI WHICH SEES BOTH HIGH TEMPS AND HIGH HUMIDITY. DTC CODE P0504. BRAKE LAMP SWITCH HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED AND NO ISSUE WITH WIRING. POSITIVE THE PLASTIC STOP BUMPER IS THE ISSUE.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The break pedal stop pad broke into small pieces while I was driving today. My car suddenly would not go above 40 and while going up a hill I couldn’t go faster than 20. When I finally got home I realized that my break lights would not turn off. I did google and it said to look on the floor board and see if there was anything on the floor. The pieces I found were identified as the break pedal stop pad. Yes it is available for inspection and I took pictures of the broken bits from the floorboard. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My car suddenly was unable to go the speed limit in 6 o’clock traffic putting me as well as those driving behind me in danger of a collision and physical harm. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? A message did pop up that said uphill break assist unavailable within 5 minutes of me getting in the vehicle. I had no previous issues or warnings before this incident.

There is a circular pin in the brake pedal that interacts with the brake switch sensor that basically disintegrated. Not having this part does not allow me to brake properly and caused me to get into an accident and would not allow my car to accelerate properly. Also, without this part the car will not turn off. The dealership told me that they had never seen this issue; however, I have found many incidents on the internet where this is a common problem in Ford vehicles. There were no warnings at all.

Brake switch pad on the break pedal failed and fell out

Cheap plastic disk between the brake pedal assembly and the plumber rod that should only control lights dried up and broke off. This issue has been reported many times and you have not handled it properly. Not only do the brake lights come on but the uphill traction control goes crazy and the vehicle begins to lose power without notice. This could result in an accident and death as the car could be on a highway and suddenly lose power. Ford doesn't offer a replacement part for this. Other car manufactures have a similar plastic part. Fords solution is to spend nearly $1000 for a > $10 item. This needs to be taken more seriously than some of your other recall items you report.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD NOT HOLD WHEN THE VEHICLE IDLED TOO LONG ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ALLAN VIGIL FORD OF FAYETTEVILLE (275 GLYNN ST N, FAYETTEVILLE, GA 30214, (770) 461-1151) SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS WARMED UP RATHER THAN FROM A COLD START. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE FULLY ENGAGED. VEHICLE ROLLED DOWNHILL AND CRASHED INTO A FENCE. CONTACTED DEALER AND THEY SAID VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL.

WHEN THE CAR IS STILL SILENT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES IT RUN OUT OF BREAKS AND THE SOUND WHEN BRAKING IS DRY AND IT SEEM TO SHAVE. THE RECOMMENDATION ON THE FORD DEALER WAS NOT MUCH USE OF THE BREAKS, IN MY IMPRESSION THIS IS WAS COMPLETELY IRRESPONSIBLE

THE BREAK PEDAL IS TOO CLOSE TO THE ACCELARATOR AND IF YOU PRESS DOWN FAR ENOUGH OF THE BRAKE, YOUR FOOT MAY ALSO TOUCH THE ACCELERATOR, THUS CAUSING THE CAR TO ACCELERATE WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AS WELL AS THE DISTRICT OFFICE, BUT THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. FINALLY, THEY HAD SOMEONE RIDE WITH ME AND THEY NOTICED THAT AT A CERTAIN POINT, MY FOOT WAS COMING IN CONTACT WITH THE ACCERARATOR BY MAYBE 1/8". THE DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT FIXING IT BECAUSE THERE HAD BEEN NO RECALL ISSUED. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHERE I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS, EVEN AFTER I BECAME AWARE OF THE ISSUE. I CAN'T BELEIEV THAT I AM THE ONLY ONE IN THE COUNTRY WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM, AND MY FEET ARE NOT THAT BIG. I BELIEVE BY MOVING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE LEFT ABOUT 1/4" WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD DO IT WHEN/IF A RECALL WAS ISSUED. AS STATED BEFORE, THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED BEYOND A CERTAIN POINT, WHICH IS USUALLY WHEN HARD BRAKING, OR A QUICK SLOWDOWN IS REQUIRED AND THERE IS NO TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHERE YOUR FOOT IS IN RELATION TO THE ACCELERATOR.

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.. ?????

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE FOR A WEEKEND GET AWAY, I HAD TOTAL BRAKE LOSS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. BRAKE PEDAL BECAME REALLY HARD AND WENT DOWN ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO USED MY HAND BRAKE TO REASSURE MY SELF OF STOPPING AND NOT COLLIDING WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER PULLING OVER AND TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES, I CRANKED THE VEHICLE BACK ON TESTED THE BRAKES BEFORE I CONTINUED AND THEY FELT NORMAL, THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS 115. TWO DAYS LATER, AS I AM PULLING UP INTO MY DESIGNATED PARKING STALL OF MY WORK. BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AND NONEXISTENT, PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND HAD TO USE THE HAND BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY PURCHASING DEALER THAT SAME DAY. AT THE END OF MY WORKING DAY, I TURNED OVER MY VEHICLE AND TESTED THE BRAKES BEFORE LEAVING THE OFFICE, JUST TO MAKE I HAD BRAKES. AND JUST LIKE LAST TIME BRAKES WERE NORMAL. I DROPPED OFF MY VEHICLE ON THURSDAY AT 5:15 PM, TODAY IS MONDAY AND THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON THE PROBLEM.THE SERVICE ADVISOR, WHO IS WORKING ON MY CASE IS GIVING ME A PROJECTED RESPONSE DAY OF WEDNESDAY. THAT WOULD MEAN, THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD BE IN AT THE REPAIR FACILITY FOR A ABOUT 4 WORKING DAYS. THE PROBLEM THAT HE IS FORESEEING IS THAT THEY ARE HAVING DIFFICULTY REPLICATING THE ISSUE. AT THIS POINT I JUST WANT TO REST ASSURE THAT I WILL BE SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE. ALSO, I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS SIMILAR SITUATION. AND IN ONE OCCASION HE WAS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT THAT HAS BEEN RECORDED.
