Description of the problem | With only 500+ miles on my car to date, i have experienced multiple occasions where my 2015 mustang gt's engine shuts off without warning when i am approaching a stop and disengage the manual transmission to coast to a stop. The car does not give any indication that it is experiencing any issues prior to or during the shutdown. The engine simply dies. This latest incident nearly caused an accident because when i was approaching the red light i put the car in neutral while slowing down and the light subsequently changed quickly to green--and my engine died. The car behind me had already accelerated expecting me to proceed but i was coasting while trying to restart the car. Fortunately, there was no rear end impact and i restarted the car and proceeded. This is a serious safety issue and what makes it worse is how random it is. Ford needs to figure this out quick before somebody gets hurt or killed in an accident related to this issue. For the record, there are many others with this same model car that are experiencing the same dangerous issue and are posting their experiences online at the mustang generation 6 forum. |
