2015 FORD MUSTANG Service Brakes Problems

While driving home, driving speed was 55 mph, car engine bogged down and orange wrench icon illuminated on dash. I was not far from home and was able to continue and "limp" home. Car would not go faster than 10-15 mph. When I parked car in garage and shut car off, the brake lights stayed on. There was no warning lights or anything wrong with car before incident. Car has not been inspected by dealer or service center. Doing further research online, I was directed to look at drivers floorboard for plastic pieces. I did find broken, yellowish colored plastic pieces on floor board. According to others, which have been experiencing the same issue, the brake light switch stop bumper pad has failed. I was able to find a recall (Safety recall 22S02) that has been issued for this problem, but the recall is region specific. I do not live in the regions listed in recall.

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

There is a break pedal pad that is broken. It doesn't allow the car to accelerate correctly and car goes in limp mode. All break lights are illuminated when car is turned off. There is a recall for this, but I purchased my car in CA. I think the car was originally a Nevada car. Am I still eligible for the recall even if I didn't get the notification and my state of purchase was not mentioned?

Hi, I was driving on the freeway and suddenly my car stopped accelerating. I would push the acceleration pedal but it wouldnt speed up. And for a few times it would speed up very much. This was very rapid fluctuation. I also noticed that the cruise control was not working. This was very scary being on the highway with this kind of speed fluctuation. After i came back home, i noticed that the brake light wouldnt turn off at all. After doing some research i found that the brake light switch broke and the car was sensing that the brake was being applied and hence was doing acceleration fluctuations. I also found out that there are many other same vehicles which has the same issue.

Related to Regional Recall 22R01, the rubber bumper on my brake pedal that engages the brake light switch failed and placed the vehicle in a low power mode. This failure occurred while merging onto the interstate and almost resulted in my being rear-ended by a semi truck. Having never been notified of this regional recall, I was able to verify this was the case after searching forums and YouTube and identifying the pieces of the broken bumper in my floorboard. I find it to be HORRENDOUSLY unacceptable that this was allowed to be handled as a regional recall and no notice was ever produced, as it is a safety-related issue that could have resulted in grievous bodily harm. I am located in Kentucky, which is not part of the named region.

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.

The brake pedal stop bumper in my car disintegrated in the middle of the day and fell off. The brake lights do not turn off anymore and the vehicle can be started and shifted without needing to press the brake. I found a recall # 22S02 for this exact issue but my vehicle is not covered by it (assuming due to region). The vehicle has not been inspected yet.

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.

I ran into the existing issue described in "Part 573 Safety Recall Report" NHTSA Recall Number 22V-011, but in a state not listed under the recall (vehicle purchased used in Pennsylvania in 2017). As a result of this part failing, my brake lights remained engaged permanently, and the car's engine power would increase and decrease rapidly (presumably because it thought I kept hitting the breaks). At time of writing I still have the broken pieces of the original part. I plan to take the vehicle into service within the week. There are no warning lights when this occurs since everything I'm the car is technically "operating correctly" - it just thinks the breaks are engaged constantly, and so has erratic behavior. The original recall lists high humidity as a cause, which Pennsylvania definitely has. I keep my vehicle outside 24/7, so it has definitely been part of many temperature swings.

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.

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.

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.

As I was driving on the freeway, out of nowhere my car started losing gas power which almost caused me to get rear ended. Later on that night I almost lost full control of the car when it lost power since I started swerving. through out the night it continued to lose power and then the "hill side assistance" light came on notifying me that it was not available/functioning and my break lights would not turn off at all, even when the car was off and locked. I took it to the dealer and they could not find the problem. Then I took it the a mechanic which he was able to temporarily fix it but it was not a permanent fix. we had to create the part, as the ford company did not have it anywhere. If I would have been on the street I would have lost control and who knows if a pedestrian could have been walking, It could have ended tragic. this is something that needs to be review and fix by ford company. This is a severe safety issues, it seems not only my car is having the same issue but other ford mustangs as well. Since the dealer did not have that small piece, they attempted to sale me the entire part which was $500. not every one can afford the entire part, and for a small piece which should cost no more than $20 that can cause injuries should not be ignored.

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.

THE CLUTCH PEDAL OF MY MUSTANG FAILED AT JUST OVER 90,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN THE PEDAL WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO BE OPERATED SAFELY AND REQUIRED TWISTING MY LEG IN ORDER TO PUSH THE PEDAL DOWN. AFTER LIMPING THE VEHICLE HOME, I INSPECTED THE PEDAL AND FOUND THAT WELD THAT JOINED ONE SIDE OF THE PEDAL ARM TO THE PIVOT BAR HAD BROKEN OFF COMPLETELY, AND THE OTHER SIDE HAD CRACKED. THIS ALLOWED SIGNIFICANT LATERAL MOVEMENT OF THE PEDAL, WHICH CAUSED IT TO HANG UP IN THE ASSEMBLY WHEN PUSHING IT IN. THERE WAS NO ABUSE LOADING OF THE PEDAL THROUGH THE LIFE OF THE CAR. AS A MECHANICAL ENGINEER, I CAN SAY WITH CONFIDENCE THAT THE WELD THAT BROKE OFF WAS BAD/COLD, AND THAT ONCE IT BROKE, SHIFTED ALL THE PEDAL LOADS TO THE OTHER SIDE, RESULTING IN ITS FAILURE. THIS DESIGN IS NOT ROBUST TO TYPICAL MANUFACTURING QUALITY VARIATIONS DUE TO THE WELDS BEING ONLY 90 DEG AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE. MY FAILURE IS ONLY ONE OF DOZENS THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN MODEL SPECIFIC FORUMS AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA. I HAVE ENCOURAGED OTHERS WITH THIS ISSUE TO REPORT THEIRS.

FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS. WHEN I GO TO WORK. EVERYTHING IS FINE. WHEN I LEAVE WORK. I BACK THE CAR UP ABOUT 15-30 FEET. THEN PULL OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. WHEN I PULL OUT. AS I PRESS THE GAS & START GOING FASTER. THE CAR STALLS, JERKS AS IF THE BREAKS ARE PUSHED, THEN STARTS DRIVING AS NORMAL AGAIN. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. BUT MY FORD PLACE SAYS IT HAS TO DO IT WITH THEM DRIVING FOR THEM TO KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHAT THE ISSUE IS. THEN THIS PAST WEEK. THE SAME THING HAPPENED. BUT IT HAPPENED FOR A LONGER TIME AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BRINKED THE WHOLE TIME I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE. SO A FRIEND AT A FORD BODY SHOP TOLD ME IT WAS PROBABLY MY ABS SENSOR. ALSO THE HOOD OF MY CAR STARTED TO LOOSE PAINT FOR NO REASON. NO RUST. IT'S JUST FLAKING OFF. THE FLACKING STARTED NEAR THE HEADLIGHT UNDERNEATH THE TOP OF THE HOOD. & IS SLOWLY COMING TOWARDS THE TOP OF THE HOOD. MY 36,000 MILE WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED RIGHT AFTER I NOTICED THE ISSUE. AND THEY WOULDN'T COVER IT. I DON'T THINK THAT'S RIGHT!

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.

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.

ON JULY 4TH, MY 2015 FORD MUSTANG, HAD A BREAK PEDAL ISSUE, THE PEDAL WOULD LOCK AND WOULD NOT ALLOW VEHICLE TO STOP. THE FIST TIME HAPPEN TO ME WILE DRIVING 55 MPH AND I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE IT WAS EARLY IN THE MORNING ON A NOT BUY AVENUE SO I WAS ABLE TO TOP THE CAR WITH THE HAND BREAK. HOWEVER, IN THE PROCESS I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. THE TOW THE VEHICLE WITH 882 MILES AND RETURNED TO ME WITH 882 MILES. SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE I HAD PURCHASE THE RENTAL CAR OPTION AND THE CAR WAS NOT PROVIDED TO ME UNTIL THE DAY AFTER THE INCIDENT. IN ADDITION, THEY ONLY CONDUCTED A VISUAL POINT INSPECTION AND REPROGRAMMED THE PCM. I SPOKE TO MY CASE MANAGER AT FORD AND THEY GUARANTEE THAT THEY HAD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN. UNFORTUNATELY ON AUGUST 1ST ONLY A MONTH LATER AND AT AROUND 1500 MILES, THE BREAK PEDAL LOCKED AND THIS TIME I WAS INVOLVE IN AN ACCIDENT. ALTHOUGH I WAS DRIVING ONLY 35 MPH, MY VEHICLE SUFFER SEVER DAMAGES. I TOW THE VEHICLE TO FORD AND EXPECTED A RENTAL CAR, BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE RENTAL, WHICH IS STUPID BECAUSE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD COVER THE EXPENSES OF THE RENTAL. I FEEL LUCKY THAT I HAD THE ACCIDENT AT A LOW SPEED AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY INJURY TO MY SELF. HOWEVER IF IT WOULD BEEN AT A HIGHWAY SPEED I COULD BE DEATH AND POSSIBLE MANY OTHER, DUE TO AN ISSUE THAT I HAD PRESENTED TO FORD A MONTH IN ADVANCE. I HATE FORD, I AM SCARE TO DRIVE, AND EVERY TIME I HEAR A HONK I PANIC. TODAY IS A WEEK SINCE THE ACCIDENT AND DEALERSHIP HAS NOT EVEN LOOK AT THE CAR SINCE THEY ARE STILL WAITING ON FORD INSTRUCTIONS. THE DEALERSHIP EXCUSE IS THAT THEY NEED TO DRIVE THE CAR TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE, HOWEVER THE WHEEL AND TIRE AND THE ARM THAT HELP TO GIVE THE DIRECTION OF THE CAR IS DAMAGE AND DOES NOT ALLOW THEM TO DRIVE IT. NOW FORD WANTS TO DRIVE IT!!
