What is your Mustang doing?
Each one opens a sheet built from the owner reports of that problem on the 2015 model year.
Is the 2015 Ford Mustang reliable?
The 2015 Ford Mustang has 436 owner complaints on file with NHTSA, 2.1 times the median of 205 for 2015 coupes on this site. Of the 12 Mustang model years since 2014, it has the most complaints. Complaint counts rise with sales as well as faults, so read what owners report below before deciding.
At a glance
- Next to other model years
- Complaints filed before 2015 aren't in the files this site reads, so the 2015 count runs short and isn't compared with the model years next to it.
- Top problem
- No problem dominates. The largest, infotainment, covers 71 of the 436 complaints (16%), and brake wear is next with 50 (one complaint can fall under more than one problem, so these overlap). A quarter of the 42 owners who gave a mileage for infotainment saw it by about 15,000 miles, and half by about 36,000.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 33 of the 436 complaints (8%) report a crash, a fire or an injury, a little above the 6% typical of vehicles on this site. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 26 reports mention a crash, 7 mention a fire and 19 people were hurt. The most crash reports, 11 of 26, fall under airbag.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- Brake wear has a recall on the same system (15V-832 and 22V-011). Infotainment and tail light failure have none. A recall on the same system doesn't always cover the failure owners describe, so compare its summary with the complaints.
- When owners filed
- Filings peaked in 2019 at 50 (full calendar years only). In 2025 there were 25. So far in 2026, 10 more have come in. Filings on record start in 2015.
When each problem shows up
Each bar covers the middle half of the mileages owners reported for that problem. A quarter saw it earlier, a quarter later. The tick is the median. Most reported: infotainment, screen or backup camera fails, 71 complaints.
middle half of reports, median tick. The heavier grey bars have 75 or more reports.

How this compares
436 complaints is 1.6 times the median 2015 model on this site and 2.1 times the median 2015 coupe. Among the 7 Mustang model years here it ranks 1st for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
Service bulletins for the 2015 Ford Mustang
Ford filed 145 bulletins and other notices with NHTSA that list the 2015 Ford Mustang. 36 of them deal with a problem owners have reported on this car. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
