2010 Ford Mustang

THE CAR WILL PUT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL WHEN STOPPED, AND WILL REQUIRE AN ACCELERATION TO CAUSE THE CAR TO ENTER FIRST GEAR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD. THIS IS NOT EVERY TIME, BUT IS INCONSISTENT, AND LEADS TO A RISKY SITUATION WHERE THERE MAY BE A MOMENT OF UNRESPONSIVENESS. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *LN

I PURCHASED A 2010 FORD MUSTANG ON FEBRUARY 17TH, 2010. ON DECEMBER 14TH, 2010 WITH 12,00 MILES ON THE CAR, GOING NORTHBOUND ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY WENT OUT AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. ON DECEMBER 22ND, 2010 THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME WITH THE REPLACED REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY. ON DECEMBER 27TH, 2010 THE NEWLY REPLACED REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY AGAIN WENT OUT LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE SAME HIGHWAY A FEW YARDS SHY OF THE PREVIOUS BREAKDOWN. THE "ENGINEERS" ARE STATING THAT THE REAR END CARRIER AND AXLES ARE SEIZING IN THE HOUSING. *TR

WAS PULLING INTO PARKING SPOT AT CHURCH AND THE CAR SURGED FORWARD AND HIT A CONCRETE WALL. FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL COMING TO A STOP; WAS GOING SLOWLY WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LUNGED FORWARD. THE BUMPER AND HOOD WERE DAMAGED AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. TOOK TO FORD DEALERSHIP TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC, BUT THEY SAID ALL CODES WERE "WITHIN SPECS". THIS WAS THE FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH SURGE. NECK A LITTLE STIFF AND SON HURT ELBOW (BUT IS OK). NOW WILL HAVE CAR BODY REPAIRED AND HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. SCARY. *TR

LED USE IS MISSING THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF RIGGER FOR CORRECT HUMAN FACTORS! THE OPERATING FREQUENCIES OF PWM (PULSE WIDTH MODULATION) LED'S (LIGHT EMITTING DIODE) IS TO LOW FOR SOME VIEWERS! THIS IS A VERY REAL CONDITION KNOWN AS FLICKER FUSION OR CRITICAL FUSION FREQUENCY AND DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME EFFECT ON ALL VIEWERS. THE LAMPS LOOK AS IF THEY ARE ALL OVER THE ROADWAY AND COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL! IT IS JUST ABOUT IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO THIS!!!! ALL MANUFACTURES USING LED'S OR OTHER FAST RESPONSE LAMPS NEED TO CONSIDER HUMAN FACTORS, THE OPERATING FREQUENCY IS CRITICAL AND NEEDS TO BE OVER 3000 HERTZ (CYCLES PER SECOND). THIS LACK OF CONTROL HAS PUT PROBABLE 10% OF THE DRIVERS AND PILOTS ARE AT RISK! A RECALL IS NEEDED TO FIX THIS TRAVESTY THAT IS OUT OF CONTROL. IT STARTED WITH CADILLAC'S SRX AROUND 2000, NOW IN 2010+ FORD, 2010+ MERCEDES AND VOLKSWAGEN HAVE GONE OVERBOARD AND JUST ABOUT ALL THE VEHICLES THEY BUILD ARE OPERATING AT THIS DANGEROUS AND VERY DEADLY OPERATING FREQUENCY. THE OPERATING FREQUENCY NEEDS TO BE >2500 HERTZ! THE USE OF PWM IS NOT THE PROBLEM IT'S THE OPERATING FREQUENCY! ALL MANUFACTURES THAT USE PWM NEED TO CONSIDER HUMAN FACTORS! *TR

I REAR ENDED A LARGE JACKED-UP TRUCK THAT HAD A STEEL TUBE BUMPER AT 50MPH. THE TRUCKS BUMPER GRAZED THE TOP OF MY FRONT BUMPER AND DID EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY FRONT END WHERE THE RADIATOR EXPLODED AND THE HOOD IS TOUCHING THE ENGINE. BUT MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AT 50MPH! WHEN I HIT THE TRUCK MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF RIGHT AFTER THE IMPACT, BUT SO DID MY ABS, ADVANCETRAC TRACTION CONTROL AND LIGHTS AND CHIMES STARTED TO GO OFF. IF MY CAR SHUT DOWN DUE TO THE IMPACT AT 50MPH WHY DIDN'T MY AIRBAGS GO OFF? THANK GOODNESS NO ONE WAS INJURED, BUT SOMEONE ELSE MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. WITH A LOT MORE JACKED UP TRUCKS AND STEEL PIPE BUMPERS I THINK FORD AND OTHER CAR MANUFACTURES NEED TO FOCUS ON A NEW SAFETY FEATURE AND NOT JUST RELY ON THE BOTTOM SECTION OF THE BUMPER GETTING HIT FOR THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. MY ENTIRE FRONT END IS PUSHED INTO THE ENGINE, BUT THE BUMPER IS INTACT EXCEPT SOME SCRAPES ON THE TOP. I'M JUST SCARED TO KNOW THAT THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF AT 50MPH WITH THAT KIND OF DAMAGE ON A 2010 VEHICLE!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD MUSTANG GT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER FANS WERE BUILT WITH A DEFECTIVE MATERIAL WHICH ALLOWED ROAD DEBRIS TO BEND THE FAN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FANS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO TOOK A COMPLAINT BUT OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATLEY 75,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH WHEN HE NOTICED THAT THE HOOD SCOOP WOULD NOT REMAIN PROPERLY SECURED TO THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,000.

FLICKER EFFECT! THIS NEEDS ACTION NOW; THE OPERATING FREQUENCY ON SOME VEHICLES DID NOT CONSIDER HUMAN FACTORS. THE OPERATING FREQUENCY NEEDS TO BE ABOVE 3000 HERTZ, THIS NEEDS A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS ON ALL VEHICLES THAT DO NOT CONFORM. THE CHOICE OF FLICKER FUSION THRESHOLD OPERATING FREQUENCY IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED OR MAYBE IT ALREADY HAS! WHAT IS NEEDED: RECALL ALL DELENATORS, ROAD SIDE SIGNS, SIGNAL LIGHTS AND VEHICLES THAT USE PWM "PULSE WIDTH MODULATION". AND ARE OPERATING BELOW 3000 HERTZ!! SET A STANDARD FOR THIS!!! *TR

THE OPERATING FREQUENCIES OF PWM (PULSE WIDTH MODULATION) LED'S (LIGHT EMITTING DIODE) IS TO LOW FOR SOME VIEWERS! THIS IS A VERY REAL CONDITION KNOWN AS FLICKER FUSION OR CRITICAL FUSION FREQUENCY AND DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME EFFECT ON ALL VIEWERS. A RECALL IS NEEDED TO FIX THIS TRAVESTY THAT HAS GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL. IT STARTED WITH CADILLAC'S SRX AROUND 2000, NOW IN 2010 FORD AND VOLKSWAGEN HAVE GONE OVERBOARD AND JUST ABOUT ALL THE VEHICLES THEY BUILD ARE OPERATING AT THIS DANGEROUS AND DEADLY FREQUENCY. THE OPERATING FREQUENCY NEEDS TO BE >2500 HERTZ, I DID TEST THIS! POLICE CARS BUILT BY FORD ARE PUTTING THEM AT HARMS WAY. THE BUSSES FORD AND GM BUILT ARE IN THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN SHIFTING INTO THIRD GEAR, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ENGAGE UNLESS THE VEHICLE WAS ALMOST AT A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE YET THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE TRACTION CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE MODULE WAS REPLACED WITH A SECOND DEFECTIVE MODULE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE MODULE WAS ON BACK ORDER AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,000.
