What 111 owners told NHTSA about the 2019 Ford Mustang Gt350r

My door pops open while driving. You can hear it and the dash lights up that the door is ajar. Have to pull over and open and close the door. This has happened multiple times during various speeds and road conditions. Ford has recalled the door latches on the years prior but this year is not included. It has been occurring for over a year about 3 times a month.

When the car is going 70+ MPH the doors will unlatch and open if they are not held shut. This was a recall on earlier models but not the 2019.

On several occasions, the passenger door becomes unlatched while driving. Sometimes multiple times in one commute. The door doesn't fully open, but certainly allows for wind noise and "DOOR AJAR" display to go off with audible alarms. Also, the passenger window's auto/short drop feature isn't working and the window does not go back up fully, allowing water, insects, and other hazards to enter the cabin of the vehicle. It seems to be an electrical issue, as unplugging the battery with the door open as the window is rolling down automatically will TEMPORARILY fix the issue. But, as soon as the door is opened, or the window is lowered, the issue reappears.

Passenger door unlocked and opened by itself while driving 75mph with no one in the passenger seat. Appears to be the same issues as the 2011 - 2017 mustang recall.

While driving on highways, passenger door will suddenly partially unlatch and open door warning tone and advisory displays on the dash. I must pull over in order to open and reclose the door. First event was several months ago and I assumed it was an isolated event. It has increased in frequency to at least once a week. The door is closed and locked yet it comes partially unlatched and seems to only occur at highway speeds between 60mph and 75mph. Highly distracting when driving on interstate highway and I am unsure if it comes unlatched all the way since I have not had a passenger when this occurs. Poses safety hazard both as distraction and unsafe door lock.

THE CAR WAS PURCHASED LAST NOVEMBER 2019, DURING THE FIRST MONTH, I NOTICED THAT THE ICP WAS NOT PROPERLY WORKING WHILE USING THE GPS- IT GIVES WRONG DIRECTION EVEN THE SETTINGS WERE CORRECTLY SET, LIKE IT WAS REMOTELY CONTROLLED. BESIDES THAT MY BATTERY WAS DISCHARGED THAT I NEEDED TO JUMPSTART IT AND TOWED IT BECAUSE THE 1ST TIME JUMPSTARTING DIDN'T WORK. IT HAPPENED 4X, BROUGHT IT TWICE TO FORD DEALER TO CHECK EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. IT EVEN SEND ME ALARM THRU FORD APP THAT IT WAS PUT ON "SLEEP MODE" EVEN IT WAS PARKED AND IT IS FREQUENTLY USED. NOT ONLY THAT, THE BOTH WINDOWS WERE OPENED WHEN I GOT BACK FROM AN HOUR ERRAND. WITH REGARDS TO THE SEAT BELTS, THERE'S NO WARNING THAT FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD WHEN NOT IN USED WHILE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DESPITE RIDING WITH SOMEONE. IT IS ALSO LOOSE AFTER REMOVING IT, YOU NEED TO PULL IT MANUALLY TO RETURN TO THE SHORT LENGTH WHEN NOT STRAPPED. THE ENGINE STALLS WHEN SHIFTED FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, IT NEEDS ABOUT 5-10 SECS TO WORK.
