Owners have filed 80 complaints with NHTSA about the 2024 Mustang. Below, they are sorted by the problems owners describe and by the areas NHTSA files them under. NHTSA does not verify complaints.
Counted from the complaint text: a complaint counts once for each problem it describes (how we match them). Some complaints describe none of these.
A complaint can name more than one area, so shares add up to more than 100%.
The highlighted bars are the 2024 model year. Newer model years have had less time on the road, so their counts are lower. Counting complaints filed in each model year's first three years, the 2016 Mustang drew the most (68).
