On 11/27/21 I was driving my 2019 mustang GT convertible with approx 15,000 miles. While going around a curve (not at an excessive speed) on dry pavement, the car became uncontrollable and began to spin out. As much as I tried to brake and steer into the slide, the car became more and more uncontrollable and felt as though it were speeding up. I only came to a stop after slamming into a tree and rolling over to the other side of the road. Vehicle is a total loss.
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.
