2016 Ford Mustang

The 10-speed automatic (10R80) in the 2022 Mustang GT exhibits harsh or delayed engagement, hard shifts between gears, and occasional malfunction indicator lamp illumination. The shifts can be violent enough to cause the car to lurch, particularly during spirited driving.

Ford issued a TSB for 2022-2023 Mustang vehicles with the 10R80 addressing PCM software calibration, solenoid ID strategy, sticking valves in the main control valve body, and CDF clutch cylinder sleeve axial movement. Start with a PCM reflash; severe cases require valve body replacement.

Some 2018-2022 Mustang vehicles (non-Shelby GT350) experience active exhaust valve failures, resulting in 'Drive Mode Not Available' or 'Exhaust Mode Not Available' messages on the dash. The exhaust may default to quiet mode and the check engine light may illuminate.

Ford issued TSB 22-2282 addressing an improperly seated exhaust system. The dealer will inspect and reseat the active exhaust valves and actuators. If the actuator motors are burned out, they need replacement. Updated software calibration may also be applied.

The brake fluid level sensor may not activate the visual warning indicator on the dashboard when brake fluid is low. This means the driver may not be alerted to a dangerous low-fluid condition that could compromise braking performance.

Ford issued a recall for certain 2020-2023 Mustangs. The dealer will update the body control module software to properly detect and display the low brake fluid warning. Contact your dealer to check your VIN.

Some 2015-2022 Mustangs experience driver or passenger seat pan looseness, lateral seat movement, or a clunk/thump noise during turns. The seat may shift noticeably side to side over bumps or during cornering.

Ford issued a TSB identifying worn or loose seat pan tracks as the cause. The dealer will inspect and replace the seat track assembly. Tightening the seat mounting bolts may temporarily help, but track replacement is the permanent fix.

Some 2018-2024 Mustang coupe models exhibit a sagging headliner or a visible gap where the headliner meets the upper door weatherstrip. The headliner may droop from the roof and worsen over time, especially in hot climates.

Ford issued a TSB to replace the headliner with an updated version that uses improved adhesive and mounting clips. The repair is labor-intensive but should be covered under the bumper-to-bumper warranty if within the coverage period.
