NHTSA Complaint #10430166 — 2011 FORD MUSTANG

APPROX. 1-2 TIMES A MONTH, AFTER LEAVING MY HOUSE AND DRIVING A SHORT, PAVED STREET GOING TO THE MAIN ROAD, MY ADVANCETRAC LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL START BLINKING, INDICATING THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM HAS BEEN ACTIVATED. ALONG WITH THIS THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE WILL BE ACTIVATED BY THE ABS SYSTEM. TYPICALLY WILL HAPPEN FOR 10-15 SECONDS THEN AS I COME TO A STOP TO TURN ON TO THE MAIN ROAD IT WILL STOP. WHEN I THEN TURN ON TO THE MAIN ROAD, AS I AM ACCELERATING, THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. SOMETIMES THE BRAKE PULSATING THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL IS LIGHT AND NOT TOO INTRUSIVE. SOMETIMES, IF ACCELERATING HARD ENOUGH, THE SYSTEM WILL CUT ENGINE POWER, AND ALTERNATELY PULSATE THE FRONT RIGHT AND REAR LEFT BRAKES, NEARLY PULLING ME OUT OF MY LANE, AS I FIGHT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. AGAIN THIS LASTS FOR ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS. AFTER WHICH CAR BEHAVES PERFECTLY FINE, LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED. IT NEVER LEAVES ANY DIAGNOSTIC CODES IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, OR ANY TRACE THAT IT EVER HAPPENED, THE FORD TECHS HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND I CAN NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN ON COMMAND. IS TOTALLY RANDOM. *TR
