2017 Ford Mustang problems

“The contact owns a 2017 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that while reversing, the third brake light failed to function as intended. In addition, the rear-view camera flashed on and off. The contact replaced the third brake light housing, but the failure reoccurred. The contact purchased and replaced the third brake light three times; however, the failure reoccurred. The dealer was made aware of the failure, and the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V082000 (Back Over Prevention). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.”

“My 2017 Ford Mustang Convertible front door unlatched to the secondary safety position while driving at highway speeds. This became a huge issue on October 13, 2026 while taking a long-distance trip. The passenger door unlatched at least 10 times. During this trip, my car exceded the 150,000 mile limit to Ford customer satisfication program 21N10. When I contacted both my local dealer and the Ford customer service team, both said their is nothing they can do to help me. I am quite frustrated that Ford rejected my safety concerns on this known issue and was unwilling to recognize the extunuating circumstances of when this happened.”

“Was driving, all the sudden I heard a pop and a little bit of smoke and the smell of burning plastic came from under passenger seat. Pulled over, noticed it was coming from electrical harness under seat that controls the heated and cooled seats. Disconnected plug and saw that it had burnt out & caught fire. Have left it unplugged with no incident since.”

“The contact owns a 2017 Ford Mustang. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the front passenger's side door unlatched unintendedly, and became ajar.

The dealer informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V168000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages).

“I have attached a complaint which sets for the odometer fraud resulting in severe damage to my engine. I have also attached mileage discrepancies and the documentation created and maintained by AutoNation Ford Valencia which records my odometer at 26,250 in September 2022 and after taking my vehicle in for service of the air condition, I received it back with an odometer reading of 25,134 which appear on the odometer. Please review my complaint and supporting documentation.”

“I am bringing in my 2017 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Premium due to a serious transmission problem. The vehicle’s 10R60 / 10R80 automatic transmission becomes stuck in Drive/Sport mode and fails to shift properly, which is a significant safety concern since it prevents me from reliably selecting Park or Neutral when needed. I am aware of multiple Ford Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) and updates related to this transmission family, including but not limited to: - TSB MC-10236680 (May 30, 2023) – 10R60 / 10R80 Automatic Transmission – Harsh/Delayed Engagement And/Or Harsh/Delayed Shift - Identifies PCM/TCM software issues, solenoid strategy concerns, sticking valves in the main control valve body, and axial movement of the CDF clutch cylinder sleeve. - Calls for PCM/TCM reprogramming, adaptive learning drive cycles, and in some cases valve body or clutch component replacement. - TSB 23-2250 (2023) – 10R60/10R80 Harsh/Delayed Shifts / Engagement - Describes corrective procedures including Transmission Accelerated Main Control Break-In routine, adaptive learning cycles, and parts replacement if necessary. - TSB 18-2079 (2018) – 10R80 Harsh/Delayed Shifts, DTC P0711 -…”
