The contact owns a 2015 Ford Mustang. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V082000 (Back Over Prevention). The vehicle was dropped off at the dealer for service and remained at the dealer for two days. The contact was then informed that the mechanic in charge of servicing the recall was out sick; the dealer was uncertain if the recall repair had been serviced prior to the mechanic's absence. The contact chose to take possession of the vehicle, and the recall was removed from the vehicle. Recently, the contact stated that the trunk failed to open manually or with the key fob. The contact decided to tie a string to the emergency truck release, which was inserted through the back seat to open the trunk. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, where the contact was informed that the wiring to the trunk and backup camera were all connected. The contact was informed that the trunk failure could lead to a rear-view camera failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The contact was then referred to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 118,000.

Ford is refusing to repair the rear camera wiring defect. The dealer attempted multiple times and Ford is refusing to replace it, instead the dealer is asking for $1000 dollars.

The passenger side door will open by itself. This happened twice within the last month with a passenger in the seat and once with no passenger. The warning lamp will come with an alert to say that the passenger side door is open. This puts the safety of those in the car at risk of falling out, or possibly an accident if the door completely opens. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by anyone. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

I am writing to formally request an investigation into a potential recall issue regarding a heated seat module and module plug on my vehicle. Below are the details of my vehicle for your reference: * Make/Model: 2015 Ford Mustang Ecoboost * VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): [XXX] * Mileage: 183,367 I have encountered a burning/melted plastic smell along with smoke coming from my heated/cooled seat module box while operating the vehicle. This issue has impacted safety, and reduced functionality. I have contacted the dealership, and had the part inspected but the issue persists. Upon reviewing similar concerns online and through forums, I noticed other owners reporting comparable problems, starting with many different 2015-2020 ford model vehicles, which leads me to believe this may be a widespread issue. I respectfully request that Ford initiate an investigation to determine if this problem warrants a recall. I also ask for guidance on how to address this issue in the interim to ensure the continued safety of myself and others on the road.

Heated and cooled front seats stopped working. On inspecting the connector plug it is scorched or burned where the ground plug is located.

i was driving on a highway and experienced a total failure of my electrical system which completely shut down with in 15 seconds i lost control of the car as i could not even move the wheel, subsequently T-boned by another car iwhich could not stop fast enough suffering total loss of my car of note prior to the accident (Sunday AM) on friday I had a battery replaced @ Firestone, see reciept attached that was the last repair for the care

Brake lights don’t function brake switch bumper broke off and lights stay on but not bright when brake is depressed. Loss of power random misfire cut from loss of power. Brake switch fault in computer

The contact's husband owns a 2015 Ford Mustang. The contact while reversing, the rearview camera image was distorted and black. The contact stated that the failure had increased, causing the rearview camera to become inoperable. Additionally, the contact stated that the tailgate had failed to open while using the key fob, while pressing the tailgate release switch inside the cabin and the release button on the decklid. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the decklid wiring harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V082000 (Back Over Prevention) because the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

A plastic clip ("Brake Pedal Bumper") broke and fell out of place, causing the brake pedal to no longer reach the brake light switch. The brake lights now remain illuminated permanently, even with the brakes released. This also caused the engine and transmission to go into "limp mode", the engine no longer revving over 2,000 RPM, the transmission not shifting, and hill-start assist and traction control no longer working, making the car unsafe to drive. The brake lights will remain on even when the car is completely shut off and locked, draining and damaging the battery. It is my understanding that this is a known issue, and there was a recall for this in certain states. (Safety Recall 22S02, Regional Recall 22R01). There should be a national recall for this, as the affected part appears to be of low quality, and causes safety issues when it fails, with the car's drivability and lighting affected.

Third tail light and rear tail lights remained illuminated after the car was turned off. Driver discovered the brake light switch (rubber/plastic piece) had crumbled into the floor board preventing the tail lights from turning off, thus, becoming a hazard to other motorists on the road as the tail lights remained illuminated even while driving. While the vehicle was being driven, the driver could not accelerate to the appropriate speeds as the car was "thinking" the brakes were being applied and could only approximately drive at 40-50 MPH. The vehicle has been inspected and the above information was confirmed as the issue. No other warnings/messages occurred prior to the piece breaking.

Wire under passenger sear for heated seats has burning smell. Wire was replaced but happens again. Will need to replace entire plug.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that the local dealer had previously marked the NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V082000 (Back Over Prevention) recall repair as completed because no failure was found upon inspection of the vehicle. The contact stated that the trunk later failed to open, and the trunk emergency release mechanism was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, where it was diagnosed that the deck lid wiring harness had failed, and the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V082000 (Back Over Prevention). The dealer sent a diagnostic report to the manufacturer; however, the manufacturer declined to cover the repair. The manufacturer informed the dealer that another dealer had already marked the recall as complete upon inspection of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 15,600.

Mileage: 15,600

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Mustang. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and while the vehicle was parked, the windows went up and down, the doors unlocked, the back-over prevention camera engaged, the trunk opened, and the exterior lights engaged independently. Additionally, the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the harness that extended from the rear to the front of the vehicle had failed. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V082000 (Back Over Prevention) however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage approximately 85,000.

Back up camera goes in and out, fuel pump started making bad sounds a few month after buying it like screeching sounds got the car around 39000

The little rubber pad that it attached to the brake pedal disintegrated. Without that pad the vehicle goes into limp mode and won’t drive over 40. Don’t know why the brake switch is connected to other electronics in the vehicle that would make it go into limp mode. Very unsafe while driving on the highway.

Backup camera recall repair failed to connect the problem. Backup camera still not functioning.

The brake pedal stop bumper has fallen off and causing the exact issues in safety recall notice 22S02; NHTSA recall 22V011. This vin and others should also be added to this recall. Pictured item was located on the floors.

The plastic break switch pad broke when I was driving on the highway. I lost engine power and RPMs were erratic. Brake lights would not turn off even when brakes were not applied. I could not excellorate normally or maintain speed. Upon examination the pad was brittle and yellowing. There is already a safety recall for this part but only in certain states that does not include Arizona.

AdvanceTracService light, Hill Assist not available, Check engine light is on, Driver selection light comes on. I've taken it to the dealership and they cannot find the problem, but steering wheel and car was temporarily inoperable and turning the steering wheel was almost impossible. Suspension is off as well.

Rear camera wiring fails. Car was at dealer for repair in May and manufacturer or dealer has yet to address the issue. This includes third eye brake light and trunk lid

Touchscreen is dark. Tried to reset by pressing the Radio on Button and forward button the same time, checken all harnesses and connectors. Everything fine. Apparantly the APIM module failed.

Heated and cooled seats are not sufficiently grounded, causing burnt wiring beneath passenger seat, overcurrent to blower motor. This issue applies to multiple makes and models using the Ford\Motorcraft wire harness part number WPT-928.

While on vacation (my car was at home) a piece in my brakes broke and caused my break lights to be on constantly. When I tried starting my car the battery was dead. The break likes being on like they were ended up causing my battery to corrode by time I got home from the continuous energy drain. I was able to jumpstart my car but when I went to put my car in drive the vehicle would not accelerate over pretty much idling. When I got my car towed to the dealership (Gary Yeoman's) they told me the break bumper disintegrated and caused my break lights to be on and a vehicle acceleration override to be engaged.

The driver's side window will go up and down constantly when vehicle is turned off on my 2015 Mustang GT, so annoying and scary, hate for someones fingers to get caught in it, I can role them down and back up a million times and it still does it, I even open and shut the door multiple times, but still does it! Not sure what the insurance company would say about it if I told them. Maybe something to do with the lock, sensor, security system. When window is slighly down, it could be at risk for theft. (and Ford, lets not even dicuss your Shi**y paint job!)

THE REARVIEW CAMERA WILL INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAY A BLANK OR DISTORTED IMAGE. WHEN PLACING THE CAR IN REVERSE THE CAMERA WILL INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAY A BLANK SCREEN OR DISTORTED IMAGE WHILE REVERSING THE VEHICLE. THIS REDUCES THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF WHAT IS BEHIND THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THIS HAPPENS WHEN BOTH STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

BACKUP CAMERA AND TRUNK BRAKE LIGHT DO NOT WORK DUE TO KNOWN FLAW IN TRUNK WIRING HARNESS DESIGN. WIRES INSIDE THE HARNESS BREAK FROM OPENING AND CLOSING TRUNK DUE TO COMPRESSION. DEALERSHIP HAS REPAIRED ONCE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY BY CHEAPLY REPLACING SECTIONS OF BROKEN WIRE AND CRUDELY WRAPPING THE ENTIRE HARNESS WITH BLACK ELECTRICAL TAPE, HOWEVER MORE WIRES HAVE BROKEN IN NEW LOCATIONS ALONG THE HARNESS. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH A TECHNICAL BULLETIN PUBLISHED BY FORD. HOWEVER THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE COMMON WITH 15-17 MUSTANGS. DESPITE CLEARLY EXPLAINING WHAT WAS WRONG, THEY CLAIMED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $125 DIAGNOSTIC FEE BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW IF THE WIRING MIGHT HAVE BEEN CHEWED BY 'VARMINTS.'

MY ENGINE HAS RANDOMLY SHUT OFF THREE SEPARATE TIMES NOW. I HAVE ABOUT 12,000 MILES ON MT 2015 MUSTANG GT W/PP MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE FIRST TIME I WAS PARKED AND IT WAS IDLING, MY FRIEND AND I BOTH WITNESSED THE IDLE DIP, THEN 3-5 SECONDS LATER THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE SECOND TIME (WAS MUCH MORE DANGEROUS) I WAS CHANGING LANES BECAUSE OF A CAR FAST APPROACHING FROM BEHIND, I DOWNSHIFTED FROM 3RD TO 2ND GEAR (30-40MPH), LET OUT THE CLUTCH SMOOTHLY, PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR DID NOTHING, I LOOKED DOWN AND THE RPM WAS AT 0 AND "PRESS CLUTCH TO START" WAS DISPLAYED ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER SCREEN. I QUICKLY DEPRESSED CLUTCH AND RESTARTED ENGINE AND TOOK OFF TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE THIRD TIME HAPPENED TODAY 3/15/2016 I WAS AGAIN AT IDLE AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN WITHOUT ME TOUCHING ANYTHING, IT AGAIN DISPLAYED "PRESS CLUTCH TO START". I'VE READ IN FORUMS THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE INTERMITTENTLY, THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN HAVE DEADLY CONSEQUENCES. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE CORRECTLY RATHER THAN SENDING EVERYONE HOME WITH THE "WE DIDN'T FIND ANY ISSUE" GO-TO RESPONSE. HOPEFULLY PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO GET INJURED, OR GOD FORBID DIE, BEFORE THIS ISSUE IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM AN IDLE POSITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT FROM FIRST GEAR AND STALLED. ALSO, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED TO ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE SHIFTING ISSUE WAS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE AND THAT A DIMMER SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,171. THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2015 MUSTANG GT WITH COOLED SEAT OPTION. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN NOVEMBER OF 2014 AND TRIED THE COOLED SEATS THEY WORKED WELL DURING THOSE COLD LATE FALL DAYS FOR THE HANDFUL OF TIMES I USED IT. AFTER IT GOT COLD DURING WINTER AND SPRING I DID NOT USE THE COOLED SEAT FEATURE AGAIN UNTIL APPROXIMATELY MAY 1, 2015. AT THIS TIME THE LOWER SEAT COOLER WOULD COOL THE SEAT BUT THE UPPER SEAT COOLER WOULD NOT COOL THE SEAT FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME. IN FACT QUITE THE OPPOSITE OCCURRED. WITH THE SEAT COOLING SET TO MAXIMUM OF 3 BARS THE LOWER COOLER WOULD GET THE SEAT COLD BUT THE UPPER SEAT COOLER WOULD ACTUALLY WARM THE SEAT UP. SEVERAL TESTS CONFIRMED THIS HAPPENING FOR BOTH SEATS, DRIVER AND PASSENGER. DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE THERMOELECTRIC DEVICE BURIED AND ENCLOSED IN THE SEAT BACK, THE BACK SIDE OF EACH SEAT BACK WOULD ACTUALLY WARM AS WELL TO LEVELS VERY HOT TO TOUCH AFTER AS SHORT OF TIME OF 5 MINUTES OF USE. IT APPEARS THAT MANY OTHER 2015 MUSTANG OWNERS WITH THIS OPTION ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. ALSO 2015 FORD F150 OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME DESIGN TED COOLING DEVICE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS AS WELL. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REGISTERED MY COMPLAINT BUT NO FIX IS OUT THERE CURRENTLY FROM FORD THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FAULTY DESIGN. ITS EQUIVALENT WOULD BE PUTTING A ROOM AIR CONDITIONER INSIDE A ROOM AND EXPECTING IT TO COOL THE AIR. ON TOP OF THAT WITH PROLONGED USAGE THE MATERIAL ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT WHERE THE TED VENTS ITS WASTE HEAT GETS HOTTER AND HOTTER AND COULD POSE A FIRE RISK WITH PROLONGED USAGE IN THE VEHICLE. CURRENTLY WE HAVE NO INFORMATION WHETHER OR NOT FORD IS EITHER AWARE OR EVEN HAS ANY INTENTION OF ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE I DO NOT USE MY COOLED SEATS FUNCTION CURRENTLY BECAUSE IT ONLY WORKS ON THE BOTTOMS AND HEATS US THE UPPER SEAT WHILE IN USE. THE UPPER SEAT WILL ACTUALLY BE COOLER IF LEFT OFF.

I EMAILED THE FOLLOWING TO FORD ON 2/9/2015 WITH NO RESPONSE TO DATE FROM THEM HELLO, I DON'T KNOW WHO TO CONTACT OR HOW TO GET MY POINT TO THE RIGHT PERSON, I AM HOPING YOU WILL MAKE SOMEONE TAKE NOTICE. I RENTED A 2015 MUSTANG WHILE ON VACATION IN JANUARY. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY KNEE HIT THE KEYS ( RENTAL CARS ALWAYS HAVE THE EXTRA KEYS AND INFO TAG MAKING IT BULKY ANYWAY ). THE KEYS TURNED THE IGNITION TO ACCESSORY AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC AT 70 MPH. AFTER THE NEWS REPORTS OF THE OTHER IGNITION RECALL THAT I HAVE SEEN ON ABC AND MY FIRST RESPONSE TRAINING, I STAYED CALM AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE SURE FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND SOMETHING IS DONE BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT. I NOTIFIED THE RENTAL COMPANY OF THE ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND LET ME KNOW THAT YOU HAVE AT LEAST READ MY MESSAGE. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE SURE NOONE GETS HURT AND THE ISSUE IS AT LEAST DUPLICATED AND INVESTIGATED. THANK YOU.

I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING SOUTH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. I WENT OVER A BUMP THAT I USUALLY GO OVER WHEN HEADED IN THAT DIRECTION AND THE DRIVER DOOR ALL OF A SUDDEN OPENED/UNLOCKED ITSELF. IT WAS LOCKED OR ELSE THE DASHBOARD WOULD OF INDICATED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS NOT IN PARK BEFORE SETTING OFF ON MY TRIP. *TR

FIRST OCCURRENCE (MID DECEMBER 2014): I WAS COMING UP TO A RED LIGHT AND THE TURN WAS SLIGHTLY UPHILL. I APPROACH THE LIGHT AND DROP THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL (CLUTCH WAS FULLY ENGAGED CONTINUOUSLY AT THIS POINT) AND WHILE BRAKING, AS I APPROACHED THE RED LIGHT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN MY CAR'S RPMS JUST DROP COMPLETELY TO 0. IT DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO CATCH IDLE. THIS WAS ABOUT 1.5 MONTHS AGO. I FIGURED THAT IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WITH THE TUNE I'M RUNNING SO I CALLED UP BAMA AND HAD THEM SEND ME A FRESH TUNE AFTER EXPLAINING WHAT HAD HAPPENED. ALSO, NOT SURE IF THIS HELPS OR IS RELEVANT INFORMATION BUT I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 40 MIN BEFORE THAT AND DID A PULL ON THE HIGHWAY 2 MIN BEFORE THE CAR DIED. SECOND OCCURRENCE (2/25/2015): TODAY WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING I WAS SWITCHING LANES AND AS I MERGED INTO THE LANE I ENGAGE THE CLUTCH FULLY AND WAS BRAKING TO ADJUST TO THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AND WAS PREPARING TO DOWNSHIFT INTO GEAR, BUT BEFORE I COULD DOWNSHIFT THE RPMS KEEP DROPPING AND GO PAST NORMAL IDLE AND DROP TO 0 AGAIN WITHOUT EVEN TRYING TO CATCH IDLE AGAIN. SO I QUICKLY START IT BACK UP AGAIN AND IT DROVE FINE AFTER THAT. THIS CAN BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE IF NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY. MORE AND MORE MUSTANG OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND I HAD TO SWITCH DEALERSHIPS BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM REFUSES TO WORK ON MY CAR SINCE IT IS LOWERED. FORD RACING OFFERS LOWERING SPRINGS FOR THE VEHICLE WHICH IS A FORD PART. IF SOMEONE WAS TO HAVE THESE SPRINGS INSTALLED AND THE CAR WAS LOWERED WITH FORD PARTS DOES THAT MEAN THE DEALERSHIP WILL REFUSE TO WORK ON IT IF IT DOESN'T FIT ON THEIR LIFTS THEN AS WELL? I HAVE REPORTED OTHER ISSUES AS WELL WHICH FORD HAS CLAIMED TO BE NORMAL JUST BECAUSE IT IS OCCURRING ON OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL. THE CSM AT FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS BEEN A HUGE HELP SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. *TR

UPON APPROACHING A RED LIGHT WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL PRESSED DOWN, AND MANUAL TRANS IN NEUTRAL THE ENGINE DIED. ALSO HAD "RUN POWER ON" ON THE DASH. BUMPED THE START BUTTON AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. DESCRIPTION OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES: TEMPS OUTSIDE WERE MID 80'S. (CAR WAS STILL COLD ENGINE WISE AND I HAD THE A/C ON FULL BLAST WHEN IT DIED.) DASH BOARD INFORMATION/TOUCH SCREEN READOUT SAID IT WAS 70 DEGREES OUTSIDE WHILE TEMPS WERE IN THE MID 80'S. AND AS I WAS DRIVING, (CITY TRAFFIC) I WOULD SHIFT AT OR AROUND 2500 RPM. WHEN I PRESSED IN THE CLUTCH TO SHIFT THE RPM'S WOULD JUMP ABOUT 1000 RPM'S UNTIL I LET THE CLUTCH OUT. THIS OCCURRED ABOUT THREE OR FOUR TIMES OUT OF TEN TO FIFTEEN SHIFTS. ABOUT 3 MILES UP THE ROAD I PULLED OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND OPENED THE DOOR TO TURN OFF THE STEREO AND TOUCH SCREEN. CRANKED IT UP AND RIGHT AWAY THE OUTSIDE TEMP READING WAS THE ACTUAL 85 DEGREES. NO MORE REVS ON SHIFT AND RAN FINE ALL THE WAY HOME FOR THE NEXT 15 MILES. REPORTING THIS DUE TO MULTIPLE ISSUES OF THIS BEING REPORTED BY OTHER 2015 MUSTANG OWNERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND MUSTANG RELATED WEBSITES. *TR

PURCHASED BRAND NEW FORD MUSTANG GT PREMIUM 5.0 AUTOMATIC FROM LOCAL FORD DEALER. ON FIRST TEST DRIVE, DID NOT NOTICE PROBLEM. CAR SAT A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO ME LEAVING FOR AN APPROXIMATE 750 MILE RETURN DRIVE HOME FROM VA TO TN. I HAD THE CAR HEATER ON - THE HEATER SEATS ON - NO MODIFICATIONS DONE TO THE CAR - 2 DAYS LATER OUT ON ROAD NOTICED A "STRONG ODOR" ( MORE SPECIFICALLY LIKE "MODEL AIRPLANE GLUE ODOR ). I WAS GETTING DIZZY, SLEEPY, AND VERY NAUSEATED. PULLED OVER RESTED. DROVE CAR WITH WINDOWS DOWN, HEATER ON AS IT WAS COLD. ODOR PERSISTED AND "SICK FEELING" CONTINUED ENTIRE DRIVE HOME. COORDINATING WITH FORD SERVICE CENTER AND BBBAUTOLINE - TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SUB TOTAL OF 5 VISITS TO HAVE ODOR EVALUATED. 6TH VISIT WITH "EXPERT FORD" FIELD TECH WITH SOME SORT OF "DEVICE" TO MEASURE SMELLS ( I ASSUME ) - WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE CAR - I ASKED FOR WORK ORDER AND A COPY OF EXPERT'S REPORT. WROTE TO SALES MANAGER REQUESTING THESE REPORTS. I HAVE BEEN DENIED ACCESS TO THESE REPORTS (KIND OF ODD? 6TH VISIT AND ONLY NOW THEY REFUSE TO ISSUE?) BBBAUTOLINE HAS NOW MADE DATE FOR ARBITRATION. TOLD TO BRING CAR IN FOR EVALUATION BY ARBITRATOR - HAVE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS AS TO WHY.NUMEROUS ARTICLES ADDRESSING TOXIC ODORS - MULTIPLE SENSITIVITY DISORDER.S I'M NOT A SCIENTIST OR AN ENGINEER. JUST A 61 YR OLD MAN WANTING TO ENJOY HIS $44K MUSTANG - CAN'T HAVE TO DRIVE WITH WINDOWS DOWN AND HEATER FULL UP, STILL FEEL LIGHT HEADED AND NAUSEA. ANY SUGGESTIONS APPRECIATED. *TR
