2024 Ford Mustang problems

ford logo

The Ford Mustang is a series of American automobiles manufactured by Ford. In continuous production since 1964, the Mustang is currently the longest-produced Ford car nameplate. Currently in its seventh generation, it is the fifth-best selling Ford car nameplate. The namesake of the "pony car" automobile segment, the Mustang was developed as a highly styled line of sporty coupes and convertibles derived from existing model lines, initially distinguished by "long hood, short deck" proportions.

Originally predicted to sell 100,000 vehicles yearly, the 1965 Mustang became the most successful vehicle launch since the 1927 Model A. Introduced on April 17, 1964 (16 days after the Plymouth Barracuda), over 400,000 units were sold in its first year; the one-millionth Mustang was sold within two years of its launch. In August 2018, Ford produced the 10-millionth Mustang; matching the first 1965 Mustang, the vehicle was a 2019 Wimbledon White convertible with a V8 engine.

The success of the Mustang launch led to multiple competitors from other American manufacturers, including the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird (1967), AMC Javelin (1968), and Dodge Challenger (1970). It also competed with the Plymouth Barracuda, which was launched around the same time. The Mustang also had an effect on designs of coupes worldwide, leading to the marketing of the Toyota Celica and Ford Capri in the United States (the latter, by Lincoln-Mercury). The Mercury Cougar was launched in 1967 as a unique-bodied higher-trim alternative to the Mustang; during the 1970s, it included more features and was marketed as a personal luxury car.

From 1965 until 2004, the Mustang shared chassis commonality with other Ford model lines, staying rear-wheel-drive throughout its production. From 1965 to 1973, the Mustang was derived from the 1960 Ford Falcon compact. From 1974 until 1978, the Mustang (denoted Mustang II) was a longer-wheelbase version of the Ford Pinto. From 1979 until 2004, the Mustang shared its Fox platform chassis with 14 other Ford vehicles (becoming the final one to use the Fox architecture). Since 2005, Ford has produced two generations of the Mustang, each using a distinct platform unique to the model line.

Through its production, multiple nameplates have been associated with the Ford Mustang series, including GT, Mach 1, Boss 302/429, Cobra (separate from Shelby Cobra), and Bullitt, along with "5.0" fender badging (denoting 4.9 L OHV or 5.0 L DOHC V8 engines).

Common 2024 Ford Mustang problems

The 2024 Ford Mustang is expected to have about average reliability when compared to the average new car. However, there are some common problems that owners of the 2024 Mustang have reported.

One issue that has been reported is with the Apple CarPlay feature, which works intermittently. When starting the car, it sometimes refuses to connect to CarPlay despite seeing the phone as a Bluetooth device. Sometimes it connects but there is no sound, and then randomly, the sound starts despite songs having been running the entire time.

Another issue that has been reported is with the cooling feature in the driver's seat. When turned on, it vibrates the backrest and sounds like a dentist's drill. If the driver pushes against the back of the seat, it gets even louder. This issue is not normal and is a cause for concern for some owners.

The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has also been reported to fail. Owners have reported getting messages saying there is a TPMS failure, and one or more tires have no reading. The next day, they are all functional, and then they drop off randomly some days later. This issue is also covered under warranty and is a common problem with the 2024 Mustang.

There have also been reports of body panel, electrical, and V8 valve issues with the 2024 Mustang. These issues were reported by a launch team member and are a cause for concern for some owners.

In addition to these issues, there have been reports of mismatched seats in the 2024 Mustang. Some owners have reported that the color of the Recaro logos is not the same, and even the seating material is different. This is a quality control issue that should have been caught during pre-delivery inspection.

Lastly, there have been reports of paint defects on the 2024 Mustang. A Chicago-based detail shop found a sizable air bubble in the paint on the driver's side front wheel well. This is usually a sign of improper surface preparation before painting. There were also paint chips and "boogers" found around the wheel wells, which could lead to chips if removed.

In conclusion, while the 2024 Ford Mustang is expected to have about average reliability, there are some common problems that owners have reported. These include issues with Apple CarPlay, the cooling feature in the driver's seat, the tire pressure monitoring system, body panel, electrical, and V8 valve issues, mismatched seats, and paint defects. These issues are covered under warranty and should be addressed by Ford dealerships.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-06-09
  • VIN: 1FA6P8THXR5
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
  • Summary: I visited the [XXX] in Greensboro, NC on [XXX], was inside the Y for around five minutes, and when I came out and got back to my car, the car would not start, the battery was completely dead. I called USAA Road Service, they came and said I had a very discharged battery. They helped me get the car started, and I got home OK. I do not know what caused the battery to fail. After the battery failed, It was inspected on July 9, 2024 by Green Ford in Greensboro, and then replaced by the Ford dealer. My safety was at risk because the dealer said the faulty battery probably was responsible for an accelerator problem I am experiencing (detailed in NHTSA complaint number 11619861) and a brake failure which I experienced (detailed in NHTSA complaint number 11619933). The Ford dealer that said the battery was defective, and as I said, replaced it (under the car's warranty). There was no warning that the battery would fail, and I do not know why it failed, and had no reason to believe it would fail. If the Ford dealer kept the failed battery, and still has it, it should be available for inspection upon request.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-10-03
  • VIN: 1FAGP8UH8R5
  • Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
  • Summary: –In the Owner’s Manual, there are numerous items of information not related to this car. By that, I don't mean a different variation (SL vs Rt). I mean it tells you to push buttons that do not exist. For example, in "visual mode", reviewing the steering wheel. –The Owner’s Manual says to accept a call, press the phone button on the steering wheel – no such button exists. The Owner’s Manual says to hang up a call, press the phone button. Again no such button. You can not say end call during a call– so no voice modes work in call mode. THIS FORCES YOU TO INTERACT WITH CAR BY REMOVING A HAND FROM STEERING WHEEL–THUS VIOLATING Florida Statute 316.305 -- Another example- Using visual, it points to a button on the wrong side of the wheel. If you click on the “G” represented on the bottom right of the steering wheel it shows “mode” buttons. Mode on the actual wheel is on the left hand side. This is just one example of several items in the manual that don’t match the actual car. Plus you have to “know” the correct terminology to search. In a paper manual you can normally get close and thumb through a few pages to find the right things– without that capability if you don’t know the exact wording you are lost. ---There are also numerous customizable setting that do not hold after “saving”. While these may not be safety issues themselves—the amount of interaction this vehicle requires to figure out “what now?”, Is a distraction and may cause accidents. Pics are of the owners manual installed on the car (we no longer get printed versions). 2 screens telling you to end call with buttons on steering wheel. @ pics of all buttons on the wheel. 1 pic of wheel layout according to installed manual (which doesn't match the actual wheel) ---According to Dealer the vehicle's software is up to date with current version.

SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-07-03
  • VIN: 1FA6P8THXR5
  • Components: SERVICE BRAKES
  • Summary: I was slowly backing out of a parking space at the Circle K gas station on July 3, 2024, on Battleground Avenue in Greensboro, NC, and applied the brakes when the warning alert sounded that there was cross traffic. I immediately applied the brakes, but to no avail. Application of the car's brakes, pumping the brakes, had no effect on stopping the backward motion the car. The car continued to roll backwards, and I very nearly collided with a car sweeping past the rear of my car, when I could not stop. When I drove to Green Ford on July 9, 2024 and told the dealership what happened (along with an accelerator problem, which I reported separately on incident report number 11619861), the dealership inspected my car and said the failed brakes (along with the accelerator problem) could have caused by a defective battery, which the dealership then replaced under the car's warrenty. The safety of everyone in the car could have been affected had a collision occurred, especially if the car's gas tank had been damaged in a collision, and if a fire had resulted.

ENGINE PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-07-03
  • VIN: 1FA6P8THXR5
  • Components: ENGINE
  • Summary: From a stop at a traffic light on [XXX], I made a right turn from [XXX] onto [XXX] in Greensboro NC, and after turning, the car did not respond when I pressed on the accelerator so as to go with the traffic. Instead, the car gradually slowed down. Before the car rolled to a stop in the middle of the road, the engine caught on and the car speeded up normally. The risk is that I would become stopped in the middle of a busy road and that someone rear end into me. If this problem were to occur as I was entering onto an interstate highway, where traffic routinely moves along at 70 mph and more, it would not be good. I took my car to Green Ford, the local dealership, on July 9, 2024. They found a defective battery (which was replaced under the car's warranty), and the dealership said the problems (accelerator and also brakes) were likely caused by a defective battery. (At the same visit the dealership also examined my brakes, which had failed, and which I am describing in a separate incident report). The accelerator problem occurred again on [XXX] when I pulled out of my apartment parking lot onto [XXX] , and after turning onto [XXX] , the car gradually started to slow down, and would have come to a stop. I pushed on the accelerator repeatedly and the car, before stopping, got up to speed (the speed limit is 35 mph on [XXX] ). The next day, on October 8, 2024, at the Green Ford dealership, the dealership could find nothing wrong with the car. On [XXX], on the way downtown (to the Ford Dealership) I experienced the accelerator problem several tines. The dealership did not examine the car again, but advised me to keep detailed notes for a week and after a week report back to them. .

SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-10-10
  • VIN: 1FA6P8TH4R5
  • Components: SERVICE BRAKES
  • Summary: The front wheels of the vehicle have different breaks - this is a factory fault (Manufacturing defect). The front right wheel has 6 piston brembo brake and the left front wheel has 4 piston caliper brakes, causing vehicle to put different braking power on both side - causing it to slid to the right side while breakin (The right wheel producing more breaking power than the left side). This is a safety hazard for me and public, the dealership I bought this car had run their own inspection before selling it to me but they passed the inspection which means they ignore this major fault. Even before that, this vehicle passed the PDI (pre-delivery inspection) at the ford production plant and the dealership sold it to me. Its been 3 months and I experienced vibration on the front left wheel and slid towards the right side on the highway and noticed the brakes are different. This is a big issue, safety hazard, public safety risk and I went through a lot once I found this issue.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-08-25
  • VIN: 1FA6P8CF7R5
  • Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
  • Summary: Unknown. Stress cracks on my tail light started to appear. I have asked others in the Mustang community and quite a few have reported the same cracks except they’ve had water getting inside the tail light. I have taken it to the dealer but have been told I caused it with no visible impact and even the service advisors stating there isn’t any sign of damage from myself or someone else. I have cameras to prove otherwise at home. I don’t want to drive my car and one day my tail light is out and get pulled over especially when there are some issues reported about cracks, moisture, etc. It could cause issues if you’re trying to signal someone from behind if you are getting ready to turn or hazards.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM

  • Date Of Incident: 2024-08-05
  • VIN: 1FA6P8CF1R5
  • Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
  • Summary: In the morning when I start the car, I have a blank digital instrumentation screen. No way to tell how fast you are driving or how much gas you have and no warning lights. Sometimes it will take over an hour to come back on. Took it to a Ford dealership and they said they could not duplicate the problem, but a service bulletin was out on is problem was out on this to make sure software was up to date. My car is up to date, and I was told Ford was working on the problem if that did not correct it with a time frame of October 2025. I think this is a real safety concern how do they expect me to drive a car with no warning display or knowing how fast I'm driving for a whole year.

    I like everything so far, I just need to understand all the fancy things.

    I really appreciate the detailed review of your Base Model with manual transmission! It's great to hear that you've adjusted to the two giant screens and that the car rides and sounds great. It's also fantastic to hear that many of the issues you had with your old '07 Mustang have been solved, such as the leaves/pine needles getting collected in the grommets where the air intake is behind the cowl. The bumpers also look more solid without as much wiggling about, which is a definite improvement. I'm glad to hear that the folding mirrors and independent rear suspension are a hit, and that the car goes over bumps much more smoothly. The cigarette lighter/USBs that turn off after some time when you turn off the engine are also a great feature. I can understand why you love the short-throw shifter, even if it took some getting used to. It's great that the seats that came with the car are very comfortable and provide lots of lumbar support. I also appreciate that you can easily move the seat forward/back when letting out rear passengers with a flick of the lever. The manual seat adjustment to move it up/down is also perfect. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the sound system and amplifier. Overall, it sounds like you made a great choice with the Base Model and I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying it!When I first got it, I was disappointed with the sound. However, I found a simple solution to improve it. By using the onboard 3-band EQ, I boosted the bass and treble, and scooped the mids. Now it sounds nice and boomy without that nasty 'boombox' or speakerphone sound that came with the default settings. I love the different drive modes, and the throttle response for each. For most applications, 'normal' is perfectly fine. But 'sport' is my favorite--the engine just roars and it's quick to respond to the accelerator pedal. Also, the 'slippery' drive mode is great as you cannot over-rev your car and spin out. Now, onto some things to be aware of: There are holes in the fender liners of the front wheels, which can result in getting dirt, water, salt, and gravel stuck inside the various cavities under your car. Without plugging these holes, you risk permanent damage to the bottom of your brand-new car. As of now, it's pretty easy to fix by plugging the hole up, which cost me $120 to get done by my local mechanic. The clutch pedal is very smooth, but when double-clutching, the pedal is too 'smooth' when returning to the up position. I am missing the immediacy of the pedal's disengagement, like it worked on my old '07 Mustang. Maybe with time, I will get adjusted to this new clutch. Lastly, I am not a fan of the new parking brake. It feels weird to have a power windows switch instead of a big lever like we are all used to. When I park, I need to double-check that I have indeed engaged it. Maybe it would make sense to have it automatically engage when shutting down the car--that would be pretty convenient. Perhaps with future firmware updates.

    I like the car as a whole, but I think it could be even better with a spoiler and a high-quality stereo system, like a shaker.

    What a fantastic driving machine! It's pure joy to drive.
