NHTSA Complaint #10616512 — 2012 FORD MUSTANG

THE 2012 MUSTANG IS EQUIPPED WITH AN SYSTEM CALLED ADVANCTRAC. IT IS AN ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM THAT WORKS IN COORDINATION WITH THE ELECTRONIC ASSISTED POWER STEERING. THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING MY CAR TOTALLY SHUT DOWN NOSE DIVED AND TURNED RIGHT BACK ON. WHEN IT RETURNED TO POWER THE ADVANCTRAC SYSTEM HAD TOTALLY SHUT. THE WHEEL WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM SHUTTING DOWN. HAD THIS BEEN IN A CORNER AT SPEED ON A HIGHWAY I WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY LEFT THE ROAD. UPON INVESTIGATING MY CAR I FOUND A BLOWN 100AMP FUSE BY MY BATTERY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ALL ANYONE NEEDS TO DO IS HIT THE INTERNET AND SEE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS EXACT ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. BE IT FROM THE FUSE OR SOMETHING ELSE THIS SHUTDOWN IS FREQUENT. IN LIEU OF RECENT ISSUES WITH GM I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT FORD IS IGNORING THIS. THIS CAN AND COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ANYONE. I CONTACTED FORD AND THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY BLEW ME OFF SO NOW I AM CONTACTING YOU. HOPEFULLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. *TR
