What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Airbags
Reports naming the air-bag system — deployment behaviour, inflators, sensors and warning lights.
From owner reports, verbatim
there was a recall for my airbag in may of 2015, i purchased the vehicle in june of 2015. in october of 2015 i was involved in a serious MVA. my airbag did not deploy properly and the metal shards cut my face open. along with the faulty airbag my seatbelt did not lock up properly and i was almost ejected out of the vehicle. i started receiving mail and phone calls about fixing my faulty airbag in january of 2016. i had no idea there was even a recall for my vehicle until after my accident.
The contact owns a 2007 Ford Mustang. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 19V001000 (Air Bags) and 15V319000 (Air Bags) and requested to be removed from the recall distribution list. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted.
Body & structure
Reports naming the vehicle structure, frame, body panels, doors, hood and trim.
From owner reports, verbatim
A complete failure of the electrical system due to a design flaw where a main electrical wire harness inside the firewall on the drivers side fills up with water over time and soaks the wire harness causing a complete failure of the car to operate. This leading to a breakdown in traffic and dangerous necessity to get out into traffic to escape electrical smoke.

Driver assistance
Reports naming forward-collision avoidance, lane keeping, back-over prevention, cruise control and related electronic driver-assistance systems.
From owner reports, verbatim
THERE'S A CHRONIC HESITATION WHEN YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR FROM A YIELD/MERGE TYPE SITUATION AT LOW-SPEED. IT'S NOT EVERY TIME BUT MANY TIMES. TODAY I WAS GOING AROUND A CAR THAT WAS SITTING IN THE ROAD WITH IT'S FLASHERS ON (IE DOUBLE PARKED) AND THERE WAS A CAR IN THE OTHER LANE ON THE 2-LANE ONE-WAY STREET AND I STEPPED ON THE PEDDLE TO ACCELERATE SLIGHTLY AND IT TOTALLY CHOKED AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET HIT IN THE REAR AND THEN IT KICKED IN. I NOTED THIS WAY BACK WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND AT THAT TIME I THOUGHT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GEARING WHICH IT STILL COULD. I TOLD SERVICE ABOUT THE ISSUE AND I EVEN TOOK THEM FOR A DRIVE BUT OF COURSE THAT TIME IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I'VE TRIED OVER YEARS TO ID THE PROBLEM MORE BUT WHILE I CAN SEE SOMEWHAT OF A PATTERN IT'S NOT GUARANTEED. ALTHOUGH ONE OF THE MOST LIKELY SITUATIONS IS GOING UP A HILL, TURNING SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT WHILE SLOWING FOR A YIELD SIGN BUT NOT STOPPING AND THEN PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR ONLY TO GET A HICCUP OR CHOKE OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. THERE ARE ALSO ISSUES FILLING THE TANK BECAUSE OF A LACK OF ENOUGH SPACE FOR FUEL TO REPLACE AIR CAUSING THE SELF-SHUTOFF OF THE PUMP TO KICK-IN NOT FILLING YOUR TANK. I RAISE THIS UP AS THIS COULD BE SOME TYPE OF PRESSURIZATION CONSISTENCY. THERE'S ALSO THE AGGRESSIVE ACCELERATOR WHERE YOU PUSH IT A TINY BIT AND IT WANTS TO TAKE OFF ENOUGH TO SQUEAL THE TIRES SOMETIMES.
I WAS DRIVING AROUND OUR LOCAL LAKE DOING 25 MPH. I HAD JUST COME AROUND A CURVE AND WAS HEADED FOR ANOTHER CURVE PRETTY QUICKLY. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED SPEEDING UP ON ITS OWN. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND I HIT THE BRAKES TO TRY TO SLOW DOWN AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR CONTINUED TO SPEED UP ON ITS OWN. MY SPEED GOT UP TO ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN I CAME UP ON A CURVE. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AGAIN AND TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL BUT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AT THIS POINT. IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND I MISSED THE CORNER AND LANDED IN A POND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LAKE IN ABOUT 3 1/2 FEET OF WATER. MY CAR WAS THEN SUBMERGED UP THE TOP OF THE TRUNK IN WATER.
Electrical
Reports naming the electrical system — wiring, battery, charging, control modules, infotainment and electrical accessories.
From owner reports, verbatim
The vehicle has experienced repeated and ongoing electrical system failures, including chronic battery drain that causes the vehicle to fail to start, erratic HVAC operation where controls do not function as intended, and persistent water intrusion into the doors and interior areas. The HVAC malfunction has resulted in the inability to properly defrost or defog the windshield while driving, significantly impairing visibility and creating an immediate safety hazard. These issues appear consistent with failure or corrosion of the Smart Junction Box (SJB) or related electrical control components. Replacement Smart Junction Boxes are unavailable through both Ford and aftermarket sources, preventing proper repair of the defect. The electrical instability and water intrusion present a risk of sudden loss of vehicle operability, impaired visibility, and unpredictable electrical behavior while the vehicle is in motion, creating a safety risk to the driver, passengers, and others on the road. The issues are recurring and reproducible.
The contact owns a 2007 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that upon entering the vehicle, there was an abnormal clicking sound coming from an unknown location with the vehicle turned off. The contact became aware that the battery was completely drained. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that electrical components were draining the battery while the vehicle was turned off. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 30,000.
Fuel system
Reports naming fuel storage or delivery — tanks, pumps, lines, injectors and fuel leaks.
From owner reports, verbatim

EVERY TIME YOU GO TO PUT FUEL IN THE CAR, THE PUMP WILL KICK OFF LIKE THE FUEL TANK IS FULL BUT IT'S NOT. THEN THE WHOLE TIME YOU ARE TRYING TO PUMP GAS IT WILL KICK OFF PROBABLY 20 MORE TIMES UNTIL YOU ARE DONE. THIS IS BEEN ONGOING EVERY SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. WHAT SHOULD BE A FIVE MINUTE JOB TO FILL UP YOUR GAS TANK CAN TAKE AS MUCH AS 20 MINUTES. IHAD ANOTHER 2007 FORD MUSTANG THAT DID THE VERY SAME THING BUT I RAN OFF A LOW SHOULDER AND PART OF THE ESTIMATE WAS THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK AND IRONICALLY I NEVER HAD THAT ISSUE AGAIN ON THAT CAR. I OWNING 2 OF THIS SPECIFIC CARS BEING OF THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL, I FEEL IT'S DEFINITELY A DESIGN OR RECALL ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED

Other / unspecified
Reports whose component NHTSA recorded as unknown, or that do not map to one of the categories above.
From owner reports, verbatim
Remote services turned off traction control during a snow storm, and caused the throttle to get struck open.
AS I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65MPH/HOUR I HEAR A SLIGHT POPPING NOISE COME FROM THE FROM PASSENGER TIRE AND THEN FOLLOWED THE TIRES PRESSURE DASH LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AT MY FIRST OPPORTUNITY. MY TURE HAD GONE COMPLETELY FLAT WITH OUT HITTING ANY BUMPS OR POT HOLES. I PUT THE SPARE ON AND RETURNED HOME. MY BOYFRIEND INSPECTED THE TIRE USING SOAPY WATER AND REALIZED THE AIR WAS ESCAPING FROM THE RIM WALL (STR P245/40 R20) AND NOT THE TIRE ITSELF. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION WE REALIZED MANY STRESS FACTURES ON THE RIM ON ALL FOUR TIRES NOT JUST THE ONE THAT LOST ALL THE AIR ORIGINALLY. I REPLACED MY TIRES PIRELLI ALL SEASON PLUS AND SCORPION VERDE TIRES WITH MY STOCK TIRES. I RESEARCHED THE TIRES FOR A RECALL AND NOTICED A RECALL ON OTHER TIRES THAT WERE THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL JUST DIFFERENT SIZES HAD THE SAME ISSUE, A FAILED RIM WALL CAUSING IT TO BREAK OFF CAUSING ACCIDENTS, THAT MY AFTERMARKET TIRES WERE HAVING. MY TIRES ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALLED PIRELLIS SO THEREFORE I HAVE NOT BEEN USING MY TIRES FOR FEAR THE OTHER 3 TIRES WILL ALSO WORSEN AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. STR P245/75 R 20 AND STR P245/40/ R20 ALL SEASON PLUS AND SCORPION VERDE MODELS ALSO THE SEAT BELT LIGHT NEVER TURNS OFF EVEN WHEN THE SEAT BELTS ARE PROPERLY ENGAGED WHICH CAUSES A BEEPING WHILE DRIVING.

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
