NHTSA Complaint #10650442 — 2011 FORD MUSTANG

I BOUGHT MY CAR USED AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, 2014. SHORTLY AFTER MY CAR STARTED BREAKING DOWN. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST RAN, NO CODES CAME UP. A FRIEND OF MINE THAN LET ME BORROW HIS MOBILE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. THE NEXT TIME I BROKE DOWN I WAS ABLE TO GET A CODE, THAT CODE WAS P2111 (TAC SYSTEM STUCK OPEN). ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL FORD SHOP THIS IS GOING TO COST ME OVER $600. AGAIN, I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, HOWEVER, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MANY OTHER FORD VEHICLES. THAT'S WHEN I WENT TO MY LOCAL FORD AND MENTIONED 'CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03' THEY INFORMED ME OF THE "MANY" FORD VEHICLES THAT ARE COVERED TO BE FIXED UNDER THAT RECALL OR WHATNOT. HOWEVER, FORD MUSTANGS WERE NOT ON THAT LIST. I FEEL THIS IS UNDOUBTEDLY A FORD ISSUE, ONE OF WHICH THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED OUT OF YOUR POCKET AND NOT MINE. IT'S VERY SAD TO HAVE THE EXCITEMENT OF GETTING A NEW CAR AND NOT EVEN BEING ABLE TO DRIVE IT OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE YOU ARE SCARED FOR YOUR LIFE! I HAVE NOW BROKEN DOWN COUNTLESS TIMES, MOSTLY BACK TO BACK (ON THE FREEWAY). IT MAKES MY PERSONAL WORLD AS WELL AS MY PROFESSIONAL LIFE A LIVING HELL SINCE I'M HAVING TO RENT CARS OUT OF MY OWN POCKET EVERY TIME MY BOSS NEEDS ME TO DRIVE OUT OF TOWN FOR HIM. AN ABSOLUTE JOKE IF YOU ASK ME. ANYHOW, ITS BEEN MONTHS NOW THAT I'VE MEANT TO CREATE THIS COMPLAINT. I HAVE NEVER NEEDED TO DO THIS BEFORE SO IF THERE'S ANOTHER STEP I MAY BE MISSING OR IF ANY QUESTIONS NEED TO BE ANSWERED, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO GIVE ME A CALL. THANK YOU! I WILL BE ANXIOUSLY WAITING BY THE PHONE :) *TR
