On this 2022 Ford Mustang, the rear camera keeps showing a blue screen so my son is not able to see behind him when in reverse. I initially saw on my Ford app that there was a Service Bulletin 25N17 saying that the camera would be replaced. I called two separate dealers and they told me they didn’t see the bulletin and I would have to pay to have diagnosed and repaired. Today I looked on Ford app and the bulletin is gone. I called Ford Customer Service and was told that the bulletin has been changed to a 15 year unlimited warranty but the updated part will not be available until at least 2/2027 and they will not provide a replacement with the current available camera and I would have to wait for the new updated camera. They told me to tell the dealer to look it up in their SSSC system. In the meantime, my son can’t see behind him when he backs up. The car is so low, you can’t see behind it when backing. Can something be done to force Ford into providing the camera replacement that they have now and later replace with the updated camera? We purchased the car new. It was at Ford today having a Fuel Jumper Line recall completed and they told me the backup camera wasn’t working and told me I needed to have it repaired at my cost. If I purchase an aftermarket replacement camera, will the Ford or the dealership have to reimburse me and replace it when the part is available?

Vehicle Information: 2022 Ford Mustang Date of Incident: XXX Description of Safety Defect & Crash: On XXX, this vehicle suffered a catastrophic concurrent failure of the electronic throttle control and steering systems, resulting in a violent injury crash. Prior to the incident, the vehicle was completely disabled due to electronic throttle errors, requiring us to rent a U-Haul tow dolly to physically haul the vehicle to Apple Ford in [XXX]. The dealership replaced the throttle body assembly to address a wrench/check engine light and airflow codes (DTC P050A). Exactly 30 minutes after picking up the vehicle from the dealership, while driving home at normal speed limits, the vehicle suffered a sudden, uncommanded wide-open throttle failure. The RPMs violently spiked and the supercharger engaged aggressively without driver input. Simultaneously, the steering wheel suddenly and aggressively forced itself completely to the right. The steering wheel violently locked in the rightward position; the driver actively attempted to pull the steering wheel back left, but the vehicle overrode his physical inputs completely. Because the electronic throttle and steering systems completely overrode driver control, the vehicle broke traction from the rear and veered sharply off the roadway, striking a tree. The uncommanded engine force was so severe at impact that the vehicle was launched into the air and rolled until stopped by a second tree. The driver sustained a broken fingertip and severe body bruising, requiring emergency hospital evaluation. Certified phone logs confirm the driver was on a hands-free call troubleshooting the initial mechanical instability up until the exact minute (12:19 PM) the final catastrophic failure occurred and a 911 emergency call was placed. The vehicle is currently being transferred to a Progressive Insurance facility for total loss processing. We are requesting a federal review .

It's the 4th time in the last 3 weeks that the passenger door which is locked just opens on its own. I start to hear the air hissing and I get a door open alarm in the dashboard. Scary because 2x it was while on I -4 and almost lost control of the car trying to figure out what was happening and trying to reach for the door.

Steering u-joint sticks and prevents steering wheel from turning without a catch/hitch . Not evident at lower speeds but is prevalent at speeds 50 and above. The photos attached show the part and one picture shows a YouTube video showing the EXACT problem. The video title is shown in picture: Dangerous Steering Problem And it is very scary at the higher speeds when it sticks and you have to exert force to move it to right or left. Trying to stay in a lane is a problem!! Electronic steering was checked by dealer last year and they found nothing as they probably didn’t test drive it at the higher speeds; has continued till today and after a road trip yesterday I went online and found this information!

Other cars for the same year model have a recall for the issue I’m having. 24S44 Is the ford recall code. Power steering is boosted and can oscillate side side. I’ve seen other mustangs with this recall have the same issue get repaired. Mine has the exact same issue. I didn’t notice it was an issue until I had an alignment.

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. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
