Unexplained Mustang Issues after 2 weeks of Ownership

Have any of you experienced the following?

1. I depress the gas pedal, and there is this feeling coming from the car. It starts with a low growl, and works it's way up. It causes the hairs on the back of my neck to actually stand up.

2. If I depress the gas pedal further, the car actually PUSHES me into the back of my seat. Have any of you experienced this?! If I continue to depress the pedal, the mirrors appear to change, as images of other cars seem to shrink in size.

3. If I take corners too quickly, the lateral acceleration is so severe, it actually causes the sides of my mouth to stretch, and then curl upwards. This physiological symptom occurs repeatedly and is not easily controllable.

4. It causes the mouths of passengers to also curl upwards. This can sometimes occur before they even get into the car - usually when they first spot the Pony Projection lights.

These issues are not intermittent, and can be easily replicated if anyone wants proof.

Is there a TSB for these issues, or are they standard in every Mustang?

Have any of you experienced similar issues?

I experience 1-3 every day I drive my Mustang. The TSB for this issue is gagaring your car for the winter, and wishing it was June.

I would try changing the air in my tires before I took it to the dealership.



Also if it need to be escalated Deysha can help you with that.

Thanks Glenn.

My first thought was to contact Deysha; but, I think it goes deeper than that.

If you can believe it, I suspect these issues may be at the engineering and/or design level!! If that's the case, then I don't think any of the behaviour I'm witnessing will go away any time soon.

I haven't had any of these issues. I think you may need to sell the car and replace it with a Fiat 500.

Not sure about the cause because my old beat up 2000 F150 Lightning has very similar issues as the Mustang....must do more research.

These are common with new mustang owners. If you tire of these please purchase a prius.

I wouldn't recommend changing the air in the tires until you take it to the dealer. They may void your warranty for putting after market air in the tires.

If you just rotate the factory air you will not void the warranty!

Just keep your foot to the floor and stop at the gas station often.

The symptoms only get worse if have a 5.0. There is also the uncontrollable need to change every part in the car.

Thank goodness the OP revealed this information.
I thought it was just my car that did that.
Whew! What a relief.
