Consumer Description
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THE 2012 MUSTANG HAS A DEFECTIVE PART CALLED A THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. FORD IS AWARE IT IS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THEY WERE REPLACING THIS PART FREE OF CHARGE PRIOR TO JANUARY 2015. CURRENTLY IT IS NOT UNDER A SAFETY RECALL BUT IT MOST CERTAINLY SHOULD BE. WHEN YOU DRIVE A CAR WITH THIS DEFECT YOUR CAN AN ACCELERATE, OR DECELERATE, AT ITS OWN WILL. IT DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE COMMANDS THE DRIVER GIVES. IT JUST SUDDENLY SLOWS OR SPEEDS UP AS IT LIKES. IF YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS IT MAY BE HARD TO UNDERSTAND HOW UNSAFE THIS CAN BE. IT IS NOT NAN EXPERIENCE I RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. FORD DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A PROBLEM, BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR AS A RESULT. TRY TOOLING ALONG I-95 AT 65 MILES PER HOUR AND HAVING YOUR CAR SUDDENLY SLOW AND SHUDDER ALMOST TO A STOP...FUN TIMES. THIS DEFECT CREATES AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION THAT 100% UNACCEPTABLE AND YOU REALLY SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEONE, (LIKE ME) GETS KILLED. I AM SURE SOMEONE HAS ALREADY HAD ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.
