I have documented eight separate unsuccessful attempts to repair outstanding recalls on my vehicle due to Ford’s repeated refusal and continued failure to provide a loaner vehicle for the duration of the repair. Whether the required time is half-day or one week it makes no difference, I cannot run my business without a vehicle. Please advise how to proceed. Thanks

THE 2006 FORD MUSTANG V6 COUPE SEATS POSE A DANGEROUS THREAT NOT ONLY FOR THE WAY THEY ARE BOLTED INTO THE CAR'S FRAME AND RUST AWAY BUT THE FACT THE SIDES OF THE SEAT CLOTH RIPS AWAY, EXPOSING THE INTERNAL STUFFING. AS STUFFING FALLS OUT, THE SEAT'S SOLID STRUCTURE IS LEFT, WHICH WILL CAUSE A SEVERE BACK INJURY IF IN A CAR ACCIDENT. THE 2006 FORD MUSTANG V6 COUPE MANUEL TRANSMISSION SYNCHRONIZER POSES A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE SECOND GEAR NO LONGER FUNCTIONS, POSING A SEVERE THREAT IN SWITCHING GEARS AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE SUSPENSION CONTINUOUSLY CAUSES THE BALL JOINTS AND CONTROL ARM TO DAMAGE YEARLY. THE THREAT OF A BALL JOINT GOING OUT CAN CAUSE A TIRE TO DETACH AND CAUSE A SERIOUS WRECK.

2006 MUSTANG GT: TOOK THE CAR TO HOLMAN FORD DEALERSHIP FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. WHEN REMOVING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG THE THREADED HOLES ON BOTH THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY AND THE HOLES ON THE FRAME OF THE CAR WERE STRIPPED. I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO WAY TO SECURE THE ASSEMBLY BACK ONTO THE CAR SAFELY. THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED FORD CORPORATE FOR A REMEDY. IT'S BEEN 2 MONTHS SINCE I DROPPED THE CAR OFF FOR THE RECALL AND OTHER NON RELATED REPAIRS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CORPORATE AND WAS ISSUED A CASE NUMBER. IT'S BEEN A WEEK WITH NO RESPONSE FROM CORPORATE OR THE DEALERSHIP. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF AND WHEN THE REPAIR IS DONE, WILL THE REPAIR BE DONE CORRECTLY AND WILL THE CAR BE SAFE TO DRIVE. I FEEL AS IF ANY REPAIR IS DONE IT WILL BE JUST BE A QUICK FIX AND NOT SAFE. I'M AT THE MERCY OF THE DEALERSHIP AT THIS POINT TO RETURN MY CAR IN A SAFE AND SECURE CONDITION. I HAVE A FEW PICTURES THE DEALERSHIP SENT ME SHOWING THE STRIPPED THREADED HOLES. AT THIS POINT I'M NOT SURE WHAT COURSE OF ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN. I GET RECALL NOTICES ON A WEEKLY BASIS WHICH INFURIATES ME CONSIDERING I HAVEN'T HAD MY CAR FOR 2 MONTHS FOR THAT EXACT ISSUE.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. I DON'T OWN THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. TRANSFERRED TITLE TO MY EX SPOUSE IN 7/18. MARYLAND MVA CONFIRMS VEHICLE RETITLED. I KEEP GETTING NOTICES FOR RECALL WITH MY PA ADDRESS ON THEM AND FORD WON'T CHANGE OWNER NAME OR ADDRESS. THEY ACTUALLY SEND THE RECALLS TO ME IN ANOTHER STATE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN TITLED OR REGISTERED IN. I HAVE TRIED AND TRIED TO GET FORD TO SEND THE RECALL NOTICES TO MY FORMER SPOUSE WHO HAS THIS VEHICLE. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO COMMUNICATE TO EACH OTHER DUE TO "NO CONTACT" ORDERS IN PLACE. I THINK MY FORMER SPOUSE HAS A RIGHT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED BUT I CAN'T OR HAVE ANYONE I KNOW FORWARD THESE NOTICES TO THEM AND FORD JUST SITS THERE AND DOES NOTHING. I HAVE EVEN WENT TO THE POINT OF HAVING A LETTER SENT TO ME BY THE MARYLAND MVA CONFIRMING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RE TITLED AND HAS A NEW OWNER AND FORD STILL WON'T ACCEPT THAT, THEY INSIST THEIR "THIRD PARTY" COMPANY GETS THE INFORMATION FROM THE REGISTERED VEHICLES IN EACH STATE. THE REGISTRATION FOR THIS VEHICLE WAS CANCELLED IN MY NAME AND THE PLATES WERE RETURNED TO THE MARYLAND MVA MONTHS AGO. THE LATEST RECALL NOTICE CAME YESTERDAY. IS IT GOING TO TAKE AN ACCIDENT OR POSSIBLE DEATH AND LAWSUIT FOR FORD TO COMPLY AND CHANGE THE OWNER INFORMATION? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO GET THIS CORRECTED. I KEEP GETTING THE RUNAROUND AND APPARENTLY IT IS VERY CRITICAL THAT IT IS ADDRESSED.

THIS IS JUST THE RECENT EVENT. HAPPENS MORE THE HALF THE TIME WHEN FUELING VEHICLE. WHILE STATIONARY, NEWER MODEL MUSTANG HAVE A SPLIT FUEL TANK EACH HOLDING EIGHT GALLONS. ONE HALF ON DRIVER SIDE , OTHER HALF PASSENGER SIDE , UNDER THE BACK SEATS, THE DRIVERS SIDE WILL FILL AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT TAKE ANY FUEL. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE TRYING TO FILL THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE FUEL SPILLS ON THE GROUND . WHICH NOT ONLY CAUSES A FIRE PROBLEM , BUT MAYBE MORE IMPORTANTLY A SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FROM GOOGLING IT THINKING I MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIX IT OR IF I NEEDED A NEW TANK AND OR PARTS. WHAT I FOUND OUT WAS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SPLIT TANK. FIRE IS A DEADLY AND PAINFUL ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN. THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT IS PERMANENT. MAYBE IT IS AN EPA PROBLEM.

Summary

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SENSOR WERE SENDING MY CAR INTO "LIMP MODE", AND VERY NEARLY CAUSED TWO ACCIDENTS BEFORE I COULD HAVE THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE FIRST INSTANCE OF "LIMP MODE" CAME WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY IN COMMUTE TRAFFIC. IT WAS WARM, TRAFFIC WAS ERRATIC STOP-AND-GO, AND I HAD THE AC ON. AFTER A PERIOD OF COASTING AT IDLE, TRAFFIC OPENED UP; BUT WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR STAGGERED AND NEARLY STALLED. I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO HEAT AND THE AC. THE CAR THEN JERKED FORWARD BEFORE RUNNING SMOOTHLY AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME, I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, AGAIN IN FREEWAY COMMUTE TRAFFIC. TRAFFIC WAS AT A STOP FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, AND THEN I HEARD A NEWS REPORT THAT THERE WERE ACCIDENTS AHEAD. I MOVED OVER TO THE 4TH LANE OF 5, IN PREPARATION FOR EXITING AT THE NEXT OFF RAMP. WHEN I TRIED TO PULL OUT AND SPEED UP INTO THAT LANE, THE CAR AGAIN STAGGERED AND THEN STALLED; I MANAGED TO RE-START IT AND GET MOVING AGAIN AS A TRUCK CAME RACING TOWARDS ME, WITH THE DRIVER HITTING HIS BRAKES AND HORN. I BARELY AVOIDED A CRASH.

"TAKATA RECALL" ALTHOUGH I CHECK MY MAIL AND HAVE CONTACTED LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIPS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO COMPLETE RECALL 16S26. THIS CAR WAS OE PURCHASED IN FLORIDA, UNTIL 2013 WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND DROVE IT TO VERMONT. THE MILEAGE IN FLORIDA WAS OVER 70,000. I HAVE ASKED FOR HELP TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED, CALLING FORD AND CHECKING WITH DEALERS.. NO LUCK. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE PRIORITY GIVEN THE FACT THAT IT WAS DRIVEN IN A HOT, HUMID CLIMATE FOR THE BULK OF ITS' LIFE. I ASK NHTSA TO INTERVENE IN THIS CASE AND GET MY VEHICLE THE SAFETY PRIORITY IT NEEDS.

TAKATA RECALL - LETTER FROM FORD TODAY (3/26/18) "PLEASE CALL YOUR DEALER WITHOUT DELAY AND REQUEST A SERVICE DATE FOR RECALL 16S26 TO RECEIVE YOUR FREE REPAIR". I DID. SERVICE REP SAID THEY COULD NOT SCHEDULE ME BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA WHEN OR HOW MANY OF THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE COMING. ME : WILL I GET ANOTHER (3RD) LETTER TELLING ME WHEN THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE ? THEM : NO, YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO KEEP CALLING BACK. ME : AARRRGGHHHHH. ALSO IN THE LETTER, "IF YOU HAVE DIFFICULTIES GETTING YOUR VEHICLE REPAIRED PROMPTLY ... CONTACT OUR FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER 1-866-436-7332. I DID. WHEN I ASKED WHY FORD DEALERSHIPS DON'T KNOW WHEN OR HOW MANY PARTS THEY ARE GETTING I WAS PUT OH HOLD. AFTER 19 MINUTES ON THE PHONE I WAS TOLD PARTS "SHOULD BE AVAILABLE BY FRI. 4/9/18" AND THAT IT WAS UP TO ME TO KEEP CALLING TO SEE WHEN AND IF MY DEALERSHIP HAD THE PARTS AVAILABLE. (1) IN THIS DAY AND AGE, IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK THAT THE DEALERSHIPS BE RESPONSIBLE FOR NOTIFYING AUTO OWNERS WHEN THE FREAKING PARTS ARE AVAILABLE SO THEN THEY COULD CALL TO SCHEDULE THEIR REPAIR ??? (2) LETTER STATES "IF AN INFLATOR EXPLODES SHARP METAL FRAGMENTS COULD STRIKE THE PASSENGER OR OTHER OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." DOESN'T THIS MAKE THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT ALL ? I'VE ONLY OWNED IT SINCE JULY 2017 AND BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL HAVE DRIVEN IT LESS THAN 500 MILES YET MY INSURANCE PAYMENTS OF $50/MONTH KEEP ON A COMIN'. THIS RECALL PROCESS IS (A) BROKEN, AND (B) FRUSTRATING SINCE I REALLY SHOULDN'T BE DRIVING THIS CAR AT ALL, YET FORD SAYS DON'T WORRY, JUST DON'T ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. YOU WOULD THINK FORD WOULD PAY A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION TO THEIR DEDICATED MUSTANG OWNERS ... WOULDN'T YOU ?? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, DOUBT THERE'S ANYTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT HOW THEY MANAGER THEIR RECALL. LET ME REITERATE - AAARRGGHHH. :-(

THERE'S NO BACK SEAT FOR ADULTS BC IT'S A. CONVERTIBLE. THAT LEAVES THE TRUNK FOR A PASSENGER. I'M AFRAID OF GETTING SUED BY SOMEONE GETTING HURT IN MY CAR DUE TO THE NEGLIGENCE OF FORD MOTOR CO.

COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS SHOWED MANY THINGS MESSED UP, EVEN AFTER REPLACING ALL OF THOSE (AND I AM SURE SOME WERE UNEEDED) THE CAR IS STILL IN LIMP MODE, HAS NO POWER AT ALL AND HAS BEEN BASICALLY DOWN FOR 3 YEARS.

AFTER PATIENTLY WAITING FOR A YEAR AND A HALF FOR A LETTER STATING NEW AIR BAG INFLATORS WERE AVAILABLE, I CALLED FORD LAST WEEK TO GET A RECALL STATUS. THE FORD REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT MY RECALL WAS VALID BUT FORD COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN A REPLACEMENT AIR BAG INFLATOR WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THIS RESPONSE FROM FORD WAS OUTRAGEOUS SINCE THE TAKATA AIR BAG ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR SOME YEARS NOW AND FORD HAS HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME TO FIND AND PROCURE REPLACEMENTS.

Summary

TAKATA RECALL: FORD WILL NOT AUTHORIZE A RENTAL CAR WHILE THE AIR BAG RECALL IS BEING RECTIFIED. I HAVE CALLED ALL MY LOCAL UTAH DEALERS AS WELL AS SPOKEN TO MANY MANAGERS AT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND THE ANSWER I GET IS THAT FORD WILL NOT PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR. I WAS ASSIGNED CASE NUMBER 13037449 AND THIS IS TIED TO THE VIN. THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE FOLKS WERE OF NO HELP AND SAID THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT YET THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL. I HAVE A LETTER FROM FORD STATING THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO A RUPTURED INFLATOR DISCHARGING METAL FRAGMENTS, STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. MY SPOUSE IS ALWAYS A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE, AND WE DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE OUTSTANDING SAFETY RECALL. WITH ONE CAR OUT OF COMMISSION DUE TO A SAFETY RECALL, FORD SHOULD AUTHORIZE USE OF A RENTAL CAR, PAID FOR BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY.

TAKATA RECALL. ON TWO OCCASIONS I ASKED FORD TO INDICATE WHETHER OR NOT THE SIDE AIR BAGS INSTALLED IN MY MUSTANG WERE SUPPLIED BY TAKATA AND IF SO WOULD THEY BE RECALLED. ON BOTH OCCASIONS FORD SIDESTEPPED MY REQUEST AND REFUSED TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS DIRECTLY. I BELIEVE FORD IS BEING DISHONEST, ONLY TRYING TO LIMIT THEIR LIABILITY, AT MY SAFETY AND EXPENSE. NOTE: FORD HAS RECALLED BOTH THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS BUT HAS ONLY REPLACED ONE.(SEE ATTACHED LETTERS). PLEASE INSTRUCT FORD TO INDICATE IF THE SIDE AIR BAGS ON MY MUSTANG WERE SUPPLIED BY TAKATA, INSTRUCT FORD TO RECALL THEM IF THEY WERE AND INSTRUCT FORD TO EXPEDITE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TAKATA AIR BAGS NOT YET REPLACED (THE SECOND FRONTAL AIR BAG RECALL IS OVER A YEAR OLD). NOTE: THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT FORD HAS HAD ENOUGH TIME TO RESOLVE ANY TECHNICAL OR PRODUCTION ISSUES AND THEIR DELAYS ARE UNREASONABLE.

AFTER CALLING THE LOCAL FORD DEALER, REDLANDS FORD FOR MONTHS AND ALWAYS BEING TOLD THEY COULD NOT GET THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL AND TO TRY AGAIN NEXT MONTH FINALLY ON 7/24/17 WE WERE EXCITED TO HEAR THEY HAD THE DRIVERS SIDE PARTS IN AND WE SCHEDULED THE REPAIR FOR 7/25/17. WE DROPPED THE CAR OF IN THE MORNING ON 7/25 EXCITED TO FINALLY GET THIS FIXED. WHEN WE RETURNED AT 4:45 TO PICK UP THE CAR WE WERE DISAPOINTED TO NOTICE IT WAS STILL PARKED WHERE IT HAD BEEN THAT MORNING. ON INQUIRING WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD NEED TO KEEP THE CAR ANOTHER DAY AS THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE PART. WHEN I INFORMED THEM WE WERE TOLD YESTERDAY THE PART WAS IN STOCK WHEN WE SCHEDULED THE SERVICE WE WERE TOLD DIFFERENT MODELS REQUIRE DIFFERENT PARTS. WHEN I TOLD HIM THEY HAD VERIFIED THE PART BY THE VIN NUMBER AND ASKED WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PART HE HAD IN STOCK HE REFUSED TO ANSWER ONLY SAYING THEY COULD REORDER THE PART FOR THE NEXT DAY. I ASKED WHY THEY HAD NOT CALLED ME WHEN THEY NOTICED THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART HE IGNORED MY QUESTION SAYING THEY NEEDED TO REORDER THE PART. I ASKED HIM WHY IF THEY COULD ORDER THE PART AND GET IT IN THE NEXT DAY THEY HAD WAITED 15 MONTHS TO DO SO. AGAIN HE IGNORED MY QUESTION INSISTING I LEAVE THE CAR SO THEY COULD ORDER THE PART. WE TOOK OUR CAR AND LEFT, FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE DEALER AND NOW WITH YOU. WE NOW HAVE THE IMPRESSION NEITHER FMC NOR THE LOCAL DEALERS HAVE ANY INTENTION OF COMPLETING THE RECALL REPAIRS AND ARE JUST MAKING LIFE DIFFICULT SO WE GIVE UP.

OK, 5/22/2015 WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AB, IT WAS REPLACED, TODAY THE CAR IS IN FOR THAT RECALL OF 2015?. WE RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THE PASSENGER AB IS RECALLED, HOWEVER FORD DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS. TODAY I CALLED FORD ABOUT THE DRIVERS SIDE, THEY HAD NO RECORD OF THE CAR BEING REPAIRED 5/2015. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY? WAS THE AB EVER FIXED?, ON THE DRIVERS. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THE CAR. THE PASSENGER SIDE COULD TAKE UP TO THE END OF DEC. 2017 TO BE REPLACED. THE COMPLAINT IS THE DRIVERS, THE REPLACEMENT BEING RECALLED!, PLUS FORD HAS NO RECORD OF THE 2015 REPLACEMENT. TODAY IT'S A GOSCH FORD, HAVING THE DRIVERS SIDE AB REPLACED. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS, AND JUST PURCHASED A F150, 2016 RECENTLY FROM GOSCH. I FEEL SOMEONE IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE REPAIR. I HAVE THE INVOICE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, AND IT STATED DRIVERS AB INFLATOR REPLACEMENT COMPLETED.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS NOTIFIED BY LETTER DATED JULY 2016 OF THE RECALL16V-384 AND SO FAR THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. THE DEALER TOLD ME YESTERDAY THEY MAY HAVE THE PART WITHIN THE NEXT QUARTER BUT ARE NOT SURE. IT WILL BE ALMOST A YEAR SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. APPARENTLY FORD DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ITS CUSTOMER'S. I WAS TOLD BY A REPRESENTATTVE AT FORD HEADQUARTERS I COULD SUE THE DEALER IF A PASSENGER WAS INJURED OR DIED AS A RESULT OF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. THE BOTTOM LINE IS I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG REPLACED IMMEDIATELY AND SOMETHING DONE SO FORD IS NOT ABLE TO CONTINUE TO RISK LIVES FOR SUCH AN EXTENDED PERIOD WHEN IT KNOWS OF A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT.

Summary

TAKATA INFLATORS. DUE TO THE OUTSTANDING RECALL OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ON MY MUSTANG, MY FORD DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT TAKE IN AS A TRADE OR WOULD HAVE TO OFFER ME LESS THEN THE CAR WOULD BE WORTH AS A TRADE IN BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT RESELL THE CAR AND WOULD TAKE IT STRAIGHT TO AUCTION. SINCE FORD WAS ORIGINALLY RESPONSIBLE AS THEY ARE THE MANUFACTURER THAT INSTALLED THIS AIR BAG WHEN THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED, AND THIS IS THE REASON THAT THE VEHICLE HAS THIS ISSUE, THEY SHOULD BE STEPPING UP AND COMPENSATING EITHER THE OWNER OR ANY DEALER THAT WOULD TAKE THIS CAR IN ON TRADE FOR ANY LOSS IN VALUE SO THAT THE PRESENT OWNER IS NOT TIED TO A VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE LOST VALUE DUE TO THIS RECALL ISSUE.

Incident Date: 11/03/2016
Crash: No
Fire: No
Summary

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. THE ACCELERATOR WAS BEING DEPRESSED SLIGHTLY TO EITHER MAINTAIN OR SLOWLY ACCELERATE TO A SPEED BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. THE GAS PEDAL THEN PRESSED TO THE FLOOR ON ITS OWN CAUSING THE ENGINE TO REV LOUDLY AND ACCELERATE TO BEYOND 50 MPH ON THE FIRST INCIDENT (NEARLY 70 ON THE SECOND MAJOR INCIDENT). WHEN THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE TO STOP THE ACCELERATION. BRAKING ONLY SLOWED THE RATE OF ACCELERATION. PRESSING IN THE CLUTCH WAS INEFFECTIVE. THE INCIDENTS ARE RANDOM. NO IMMEDIATE CAUSE HAS BEEN DETERMINED. BOTH TIMES, THE DRIVER AND FELLOW DRIVERS WERE ENDANGERED BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF CONTROL CAUSED BY THE INCIDENT. THANKFULLY, NO CRASHES HAVE ENSUED YET. NOTHING SHORT OF TURNING OFF THE ENGINE ENTIRELY AFFECTS THE INCIDENT AS IT OCCURS WHICH CAUSES FURTHER ENDANGERMENT. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ROUGHLY 4 TIMES IN THE SPAN OF ONE MONTH'S TIME. TWO WERE MINOR CASES IN WHICH THE ACCELERATOR RIGHTED ITSELF QUICKLY. THE OTHER TWO WERE MAJOR INCIDENTS RESULTING IN LACK OF SPEED AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS BELIEVED THE ISSUE IS ARISING FROM THE MECHANICAL NATURE OF THE ACCELERATOR. WHEREAS MOST VEHICLES ARE A SINGLE PIECE PEDAL, THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR IS A TWO-PIECE MECHANISM. UPON RESEARCHING SIMILAR INCIDENTS, IT HAS BEEN MADE KNOWN THAT THIS ISSUE ARISES IN THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR OF THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS, SOME OTHERS. HOWEVER, THE COMPANY REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL TO PREVENT FURTHER INCIDENTS WHICH, QUITE FRANKLY, IS RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT ON THE PART OF THE COMPANY. NO REPAIR INVOICES, POLICE ACCIDENT REPORTS, INSURANCE CLAIM FORMS, ETC. HAVE BEEN FILED AS THESE INCIDENTS HAVE ONLY OCCURRED OVER THE COURSE OF THE MOST PREVIOUS MONTH. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED PROMPTLY BY THE COMPANY.

I HAVE HAD 2 RECALLS, FOR BOTH DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS. IN BOTH INSTANCES, IT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO GET THESE REPLACED. MEANTIME I AM DRIVING AROUND IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. WHEN I ASKED FOR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE UNTIL MINE IS REPAIRED, I WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T DO THAT. IT WAS BAD ENOUGH WHEN IT WAS ON MY SIDE, BUT NOW IT'S ON THE SIDE WHERE MY MOTHER, WHO SUFFERS FROM DEMENTIA, USUALLY SITS. I HAVE ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT WITH HER, WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING AND INJURING OR KILLING HER. I PURCHASED THEIR PRODUCT IN GOOD FAITH, AND NOW, THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN, I AM FORCED TO DRIVE AROUND IN A POSSIBLE DEATH TRAP. I DON'T THINK ASKING FOR A TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT VEHICLE IS AN UNREASONABLE REQUEST.

NOW I GET A RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE WITH AGAIN WITH "NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE" I PAID EXTRA FOR ADDITIONAL FOR SIDE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR AND I WOULD LIKE FOR SOMEONE LIKE FORD, OR THE GOVERNMENT TO FIND OUT IF THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ARE JUST AS DANGEROUS AS THE THE OTHERS INSTALLED.

Summary

FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS, CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH WATER LEAKING ONTO MY PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD. I HAVE TO PUT PLASTIC BAGS OUTSIDE THE WINDSHIELD UNDERNEATH THE WIPERS EVERY TIME IT RAINS. THIS DOESN'T KEEP ALL THE RAIN FROM COMING IN BUT IT HELPS. I CAN NO LONGER GO THROUGH A CAR WASH BECAUSE IT FLOODS THE INSIDE OF MY CAR. I NOW HAVE A PLASTIC BUCKET ON THE PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD IN CASE IT RAINS WHILE I AM DRIVING SO THE INTERIOR DOESN'T GET FLOODED. THERE IS NOW A MILDEW SMELL IN MY CAR. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SO IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT WE CONSUMERS HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL FOR AN ISSUE THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME. THE LAST TIME I CHECKED WITH A DEALER A FEW YEARS AGO THEY SAID IT WOULD COST APPROX. $800-900 TO TRY TO FIX; I'M SURE SOME PEOPLE HAVE AN EXTRA GRAND LAYING AROUND BUT I SURE DON'T. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE!! IT IS A SAFETY AS WELL AS A HEALTH HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IF PEOPLE HAVE SMALL CHILDREN. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE CAR AND IT STARTED AT ABOUT 70,000 MILES.

WHILE DRIVING THE PAN HARD BAR BROKE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO WOBBLE BACK AND FORTH UNCONTROLLABLY. I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AT A LIGHT I WAS PREVIOUSLY STOPPED AT. I HEARD A NOISE AS IF I HAD RAN OVER SOMETHING AND AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN MY CAR SOUNDED AS IF IT HAD A FLAT. I PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED THE TIRE AND SAW NOTHING. ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE OVER 10MPH RESULTED IN INTENSE WOBBLING AND UNABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE. IF AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH. RESEARCHED ONLINE AND MULTIPLE OTHERS HAD SAME INCIDENT WITH UNKNOWN REASONS THE BAR BREAKS CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL.THIS BAR HOLDS BETWEEN REAR WHEELS SO VEHICLE WILL STAY STRAIGHT. I AM JUST THANKFUL I WAS AT A SLOW SPEED AND NOT DRIVING ON A FREEWAY OR HIGHER RATE OF SPEED THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN LOSING MY LIFE OR SOMEONE ELSE'S NOT HAVING CONTROL OF BACK PORTION OF MY VEHICLE. EVEN HAVING IT TOWED THE TOW OPERATOR SAID IT WASN'T EVEN STABLE ON BACK OF HIS TRUCK.

TAKATA RECALL -- I AM THE OWNER OF A 2006 MUSTANG GT, FOR WHICH I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BY MAIL IN DECEMBER 2015. I PHONED THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY TO SCHEDULE THE SERVICE ON THE CAR, BUT WAS TOLD THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE THAT WEEK. THE CAR WAS ESSENTIALLY OFF THE ROAD IN STORAGE THE REMAINDER OF THE WINTER. I PHONE THE DEALER ON 4/28/2016, AND WAS TOLD THAT PARTS WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THEY WERE "HOPING THE PARTS WOULD BE IN, SOON." THIS IS AN UNCONSCIONABLE DELAY FOR A PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT IN "SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH," ACCORDING TO THE RECALL NOTICE. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THE SITUATION?

Summary

TO WHOM IT CONCERNS, BACK IN OCTOBER OF 2013, I PURCHASED A USED, BUT VERY WELL KEPT, 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT PREMIUM. AFTER A YEAR OR SO, I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM THAT HAS LEFT ME AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. WHILE SLOWLY PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE TO PARK MY CAR, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP, ABOUT TO SHIFT INTO PARK, WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO THROTTLE UP OVERPOWERING THE BRAKES CAUSING THE BACK WHEELS TO SPIN AND THE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD. THE HARDER I PUSHED DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE MORE IT THROTTLED UP UNTIL IT SHOT ME UP AND OVER THE CEMENT WHEEL STOP IN FRONT OF THE PARKING STALL AND ONTO THE GRASS MEDIAN AT WHICH TIME I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND SLAMMED THE SHIFTER UP INTO PARK. I WAS DUMBFOUNDED! I THOUGHT MAYBE SOMEHOW WHEN MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WAS ALSO CATCHING THE SIDE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THUS MAKING IT SEEM LIKE THE HARDER I PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE MORE THE ENGINE WOULD THROTTLE UP AS WELL. I EVENTUALLY SHOOK IT OFF AND WENT ABOUT MY DAY. THREE DAYS LATER, WHILE PULLING INTO MY BROTHERS GARAGE AND AGAIN, COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT THROTTLED UP AGAIN THE SAME WAY AND MY BROTHER WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF THE CAR. HE THOUGHT I WAS PLAYING UNTIL HE SAW THE PANIC ON MY FACE. HE NO SOONER JUMPED OUT OF THE WAY WHEN THE CAR SHOT FORWARD ALMOST HITTING HIM! THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN NEVER KNOWING WHEN OR WHERE. IT ALSO HAS DONE THIS WHILE JUST SLOWING DOWN TO ALMOST A STOP. I CONTACTED FORD WHO CLAIMED IGNORANCE AND WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP. LOOKED ONLINE FOR OTHERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF POSTS, EVEN LAW SUITES AGAINST FORD. I NOTICED PEOPLE DESCRIBING THE ACCELERATOR STICKING OR GOING TO THE FLOOR. THAT CAN'T HAPPEN, THERE'S NO CABLE CONNECTION TO THE THROTTLE. ELECTRICAL OR COMPUTER DEFECT IN FORD'S DRIVE BY WIRE SYSTEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED! HELP!

FOR A WHILE NOW I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AFTER RAIN - WATER FLOWING THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE FIREWALL AND ALONG THE PASSENGER SIDE KICK BOARD WHERE THE SMART CONJUNCTION BOX (FUSE BOX) IS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A FORD DEALER WHO SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT AND WOULD BE $95.00 TO START LOOKING IN TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS PAST SATURDAY, I PARKED MY VEHICLE THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE IT SEEMS THIS ISSUE CAN BE DIRECTLY RELATED TO WATER DAMAGE. WATER SEEPING IN TO THE FUSE BOX. I ALSO FOUND ONLINE WHERE THERE ARE A NUMBER OF MODEL YEARS THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE.

FORD MUSTANG IN 2006 NOTICED DAYS LATER HEAT COMING UP FROM THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. IT WAS EXTREME & I TOOK TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES IN THE FIRST 3 MONTHS, BUT FORD DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING WAS WRONG. I DON'T TAKE THE CAR OUT ON LONG TRIPS AS THE CAR HEATS UP TOO MUCH IN THE INTERIOR AND THE FLOOR BY MY FEET GETS TOO HOT FOR COMFORT. I HAVE ABOUT 25K MILES ON THE CAR AS I WILL ONLY TAKE IT ON SHORT LOCAL ROUTES. TWO YEARS AGO THE FUEL TANK STOPPED WORKING RIGHT. I BELIEVE IT IS THE VAPOR LOCK SYSTEM. I HAD AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE WITHIN 1 MONTH OF OWNING THE CAR. I REPLACED ABOUT 4 BATTERIES WITHIN 6 MONTHS & CONTACTED THE DEALER AT LEAST 6 TIMES. THEY THOUGHT TO REPLACE THE STEREO, BUT EVEN AFTER THAT WAS REPLACED I STILL HAD THE ISSUE. I WAS STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES BY A DEAD BATTERY. THE DEALER & CORP SAID THERE WAS NOT AN ISSUE - THAT I JUST WASN'T DRIVING THE CAR ENOUGH & SUGGESTED I GET A CHARGER. AFTER A NEW BATTERY, I'D DRIVER THE CAR EVERY DAY, BUT WITHIN A WEEK OUR TWO, I'D HAVE A DEAD BATTERY AGAIN. I ASKED CORP HOW MANY MILES MUST I BE REQUIRED TO DRIVE IN ORDER FOR MY CAR TO WORK & THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID SHE DIDN'T KNOW, BUT SHE KNEW IT HAD TO BE MORE THAN WHAT I WAS DRIVING. AFTER ABOUT 5 YEARS, I FOUND A FUSE "FIX" FOR THIS ISSUE (THANKS TO A AAA SERVICE PERSON WHO WAS REPLACING ANOTHER BATTERY) & NOW I AM ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR, BUT I STILL DON'T TRUST I WON'T BE STRANDED AGAIN. I STILL CAN'T TAKE IT MORE THAN 20 MILES WITHOUT THE HEAT ISSUE BEING A PROBLEM AND FILLING THE TANK IS AN ISSUE DUE TO WHAT I THINK IS A VAPOR LOCK PROBLEM LIKELY CAUSED BY THE HEAT ISSUE. I SOUGHT HELP FROM MY FORD DEALER & CORP, BUT I HAVEN'T HAD ANY OF THESE ISSUES TAKEN SERIOUSLY. TODAY, AFTER HEARING ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE HEAT ISSUE, I CALLED UP DEALER & CORP & THEY BOTH SAID THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE DONE AS MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL.

Summary

WHILE TRAVELING TO WORK I UNKNOWINGLY APPROACHED A PATCH OF BLACK ICE AT SPEED OF 35MPH. UPON REALIZING THE ROAD CONDITION I LIFTED THROTTLE TO COAST OVER THE ICE IN AN ATTEMPT TO SAFELY DECELERATE. THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED CAUSING AN UNCONTROLLABLE SLIDE. THE CAR ROTATED 90 DEGREES RIGHT BEFORE STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I MANEUVERED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO INSPECT FOR DAMAGE AND FIND THE CAUSE. THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE DISC WAS GLOWING RED. IT HAD UNKNOWINGLY BEEN DRAGGING. WHEN I LIFTED THROTTLE, THE ICY CONDITION IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DRAGGING PASSENGER REAR BRAKE CAUSED THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE TO LOCK UNEXPECTEDLY. THE CAR HAS A POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT DIFFERENTIAL, THIS CAUSED THE OPPOSITE WHEEL TO LOCK. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO BE UNCONTROLLABLE WHEN THROTTLE WAS NOT APPLIED ON ICY PATCHES OF ROAD, AT ANY SPEED. I SLOWLY NAVIGATED THE CAR TO A NEAR BY GAS STATION AND CALLED OFF FROM WORK. AFTER BECOMING AWARE OF THE CONDITION, I WAS ABLE TO VERY SLOWLY DRIVE THE CAR HOME. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THE SAME CONDITION THAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN FORD TSB 06-5-4 "PARK BRAKE CABLES THAT FREEZE IN COLD WEATHER DUE TO WATER INTRUSION, AND SUBSEQUENTLY LEAD TO DRAGGING REAR BRAKES" ARE ALSO CONDITIONS THAT IF UNKNOWINGLY DRIVEN IN, COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL WITH FATAL CONSEQUENCES TO THE DRIVER, OTHER DRIVERS, AND PEDESTRIANS. *TR

Summary

I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO ALERT THE NHTSA OF A AIR BAG SAFETY ISSUES IN MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG. RECENTLY A SAFETY DEFECT ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED ABOUT PARTICULAR MODELS OF VEHICLES THAT RECEIVED AIR BAGS FROM THE MANUFACTURER TAKATA. I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF DOING THE RESEARCH ON THE ISSUES OF WHICH THE AIR BAG WHEN DEPLOYED CAN SEND SHARDS OF METAL OR SHRAPNEL INTO THE UPPER REGION OF BOTH THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER. MY YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, AND TIME-FRAME OF VEHICLE PURCHASED MATCHED WITH THE VEHICLES IDENTIFIED AS BEING AFFECTED WITH ONE EXCEPTION, MY VEHICLE RESIDES IN A COLD WEATHER STATE. AS MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANT I CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY TO HAVE THE ISSUE REMEDIED TO BE RELAYED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN. PRIMARILY THE CLAIM THAT LIVING SOMEPLACE WITH COLD WEATHER SOMEHOW PROTECTS ME FROM EXPERIENCING THIS DEADLY ISSUE. TO NOTE. COLORADO IS A STATE THAT DOES IN FACT REACH TEMPERATURES BETWEEN THE MONTHS OF MAY-OCTOBER OF 100+ DEGREES ON A MULTIPLE DAY BASIS(PLEASE REVIEW WEATHER REPORTS). IN ADDITION DEPENDING ON WHERE IN COLORADO YOU ARE LOCATED THERE ARE AREAS OF HUMID + HOT WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT YOU CAN EXPERIENCE. I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO HAVE MY AIR BAG DISABLED BY FORD TO PROTECT MY WELL BEING UNTIL A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION IS COMPLETED, NOR HAS FORD REACHED OUT TO CONSUMERS TO IDENTIFY WHAT STEPS THEY ARE TAKING TO ENSURE THEIR SAFETY. MY WELL BEING IS NOT BEING PROTECTED AS IT SHOULD AND I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THE ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE AIR BAGS IN MY VEHICLE REMOVED AND REPLACED TO ENSURE THAT NOTHING AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL OCCURS. WHILE THE MANUFACTURERS OF THE AIR BAG AND/OR CAR COMPANY'S MAY NOT FEEL I AM AT RISK, THEY ARE NOT DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH WHAT EQUATES TO A POTENTIAL IED IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND I SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO TAKE THAT CHANCE. *TR

Summary

AS OF TODAY MY 2006 MUSTANG HAS 58,953 MILES ON IT AND IT IS ON IT'S THIRD ALTERNATOR. THE FIRST ONE FAILED AT AROUND THE 56,000 MILE MARK AND WAS REPLACED. MY FRIEND AND I HAD TRAVELED ABOUT 60 MILES N FROM SACRAMENTO TO AN AREA BETWEEN ALTA AND DUTCH FLATS AND I HAD TURNED OFF THE AC AND PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN. I HEARD A STRANGE CRACKLING SOUND AND I PULLED OVER ABOUT A HALF A MILE AFTERWARDS AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, WE SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND LIFTED UP THE HOOD. AND THAT WAS THE END OF THE 2ND ALTERNATOR IT HAD LASTED ABOUT 1600 MILES. THE SPARKS THAT WERE SHOOTING OUT OF THE ALTERNATOR LOOKED LIKE A 4TH OF JULY SPARKLER, AND WE'RE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. AND I'M ON THE 3RD ALTERNATOR WITH LESS THAN 59000 MILES. TWO MONTHS LATER MAYBE 600 MORE MILES AND WATER FROM THE SPLIT IN THE WIPER COWLING RUNS INTO THE CAR WHICH WENT UNNOTICED FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I HAD STANDING WATER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD AND SOME IN THE REAR AS WELL. MY REPAIR ESTIMATE OF ALMOST $600.00, PLUS A RENTAL CAR AND NOT INCLUDING PULLING THE CARPET AND HEATING THE FLOORBOARD AS RUST PREVENTION. MY FEELING IS IT'S NOT OVER YET AS I HAVE READ A LOT OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE NOTICED THE ENGINE HAS STARTED TO CRANK LIKE IT MIGHT NOT START. FORD POSTS RECORD PROFITS ALL THE WHILE REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FINANCIAL HARDSHIP TO LOYAL CONSUMERS WHO JUST WANTED TO OWN THEIR PRETTY MUSTANG, AND PAID WELL FOR IT. WE ARE REAL, WE HAVE LIVES THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THIS IN REAL AND MEANINGFUL WAYS.......HELP US! LISTEN TO US, FOR EVERY PERSON THAT FOUND THEIR WAY TO THIS WEB SITE AND POSTED THEIR COMPLAINT THEIR ARE HUNDREDS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS WHO AREN'T EVEN AWARE OF THIS PROCESS. WE HAVEN'T GONE OUT AND CAUSED THIS DAMAGE TO OUR CARS, WE ARE NOT AT FAULT AND WE DESERVE REMEDIATION. PLEASE HELP. *TR

Summary

SOME YEARS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD CAUSE PULLING OF THE CAR. WHAT I MEAN BY THIS IS THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL FORWARD AS IF SOMEONE WERE TOWING IT FROM THE FRONT. THIS WOULD TAKE PLACE AFTER THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD BEEN USED MINUTES OR HOURS PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE BEING SHUT OFF. ONCE THE CAR WAS TURNED ON AGAIN, EVEN AN HOUR LATER, WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO MAINTAIN ITS SPEED (USUALLY 10 MPH OR 15 MPH) UNTIL THE BRAKE WAS PRESSED EVEN THOUGH THE CRUISE CONTROL WASN'T ACTIVATED. THIS WAS SUPPOSEDLY "FIXED" BY FORD THROUGH A $600 "REPAIR" OF THE "COMPUTER" THAT CONTROLS THE THROTTLE (I HAVE DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT THIS REPAIR). I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS SITE. SO NOW I AM REPORTING THE FOLLOWING TERRIFYING INCIDENT. THIS 2006 FORD MUSTANG, ABOUT 2 YEARS PRIOR, HAD ITS CRUISE CONTROL ON WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FROM 40 OR 50 MPH TO 60 TO 70 MPH. THE BRAKE SLOWED THE CAR BUT THE REVVING WAS OUT OF CONTROL. LUCKILY I WAS ON AN OPEN HIGHWAY AROUND 10PM BUT HAD TO DRIVE INTO A GAS STATION (LUCKILY NOTHING HAPPENED) AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AS THE ENGINE REVVED HITTING THE UPPER RPMS. I HAD TO SHUT OFF THE CAR WITH THE IGNITION (LEAVING IT IN THE PARK GEAR AND PRESSING THE BRAKE, MIND YOU!) AND WHEN TURNED ON THE CAR AGAIN (NOW IN PARK), THE CAR AGAIN, DANGEROUSLY REVVED. I THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO BLOW OUT. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AGAIN, PARKED STILL AT THE ENTRANCE OF THIS GAS STATION. I WAITED SOME MINUTES AND TURNED THE CAR ON AGAIN, SWEATING PROFUSELY AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, AND THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY NORMAL. I WAS CONVINCED THIS HAD TO DO WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. I HAD AAA TOW THE CAR HOME AND THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO FORD WHO CLAIMED THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AGAIN AND GAVE IT AN "UPDATE". I NEVER USED THE CRUISE CONTROL AGAIN AS YOU CAN IMAGINE AND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE RPMS OR ACCELERATION. *TR

Summary

A FEW WEEKENDS AGO I PURCHASED A VERY NICE LOOKING 06 MUSTANG GT WITH 87,000 (APX) MILES. CAR HAD JUST BEEN CLEANED UP VERY NICELY AND LOOKED LIKE A GOOD DEAL. ON THE WAY HOME I TOOK IT THROUGH THE CAR WASH AND CAME TO DISCOVER WHY IT HAD BEEN SO CLEANED OUT. WATER BEGAN POURING IN UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. LIKE A WATER FALL. THE WATER DIDN'T STOP UNTIL THERE WAS A GOOD 4 INCHES ON THE FLOOR. WHAT A NIGHTMARE. THE WATER SMELLED TERRIBLE. I SMELL A AWFUL MOLD/MILDEW SMELL NOW THAT WON'T GO AWAY. THERE WERE SMALL ELECTRICAL ISSUES AT THE TIME THAT SEEM TO HAVE CLEARED UP... FOR NOW. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED THE DRAINAGE HOLES UNDER THE COWL WERE PLUGGED AND AN INVESTIGATION VERIFIED THE PROBLEM. CLEARING OF THE DRAINAGE HOLES TOOK ONLY A FEW MINUTES, BUT I FEAR THE DAMAGE MAY BE THERE AND WILL CAUSE SERIOUS ISSUES IN THE FUTURE IF THE WIRES SHOULD EVER RUST. AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE IS SCARY. ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS CONTROL.. WELL.. THE ENTIRE CAR. CRUISE CONTROL, WINDOWS, ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, AIR BAGS, ETC. I'D HATE MY AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING. AND THE MOLD IN THE CARPET CAN'T BE HEALTHY EITHER. FORD NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND REPAIR THESE VEHICLES AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. THIS IS NOT ONLY AN INCONVENIENCE, BUT THE ELECTRICAL ASPECT OF THE SITUATION MAKES THIS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS GAMBLE. WHEN THIS CAR IS PAID OFF, I'M GETTING A DIFFERENT SUMMERTIME FUN CAR, AND IT WON'T BE ANOTHER FORD. UNLESS FORD TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE. *TR

LOST FUNCTION OF BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS AND FLASHERS. FORD DEALER IN WINSTON SALEM, NC SAID THE DRAIN BELOW THE WINDSHIELD HAS STOPPED UP AND DIVERTED THE WATER VIA THE WIRING TO THE SJB THEREBY SHORTING IT OUT. HAD NEW SJB INSTALLED AND WATER REMOVED FROM PASSENGER FLOOR AREA. TOOK 2 DAYS FOR CARPETING TO DRY OUT. COST WAS 610.38 PLUS THE SJB. THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT FOR NOT HAVING BRAKE LIGHTS OR TURN SIGNALS. IT IS NOW JULY 1, 2014 AND THE SAME PART HAS FAILED AGAIN BUT WITHOUT THE WATER ISSUE. THE CAR IS GOING BACK IN THE SHOP TOMORROW. I HOPE I DON'T GET REAR ENDED ON THE WAY TO PARKWAY FORD. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF ISSUES INVOLVING THE LOCATION OF THE SJB POSTED ON THE INTERNET. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED, IF THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ALREADY. *TR

Summary

WHILE TRYING TO PASS A CAR TO MY RIGHT, DURING MID-LEVEL ACCELERATION, MY ENGINE EXPERIENCED UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION FROM 40MPH TO 70MPH BEFORE I COULD RESPOND AND TURN THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION, KILLING THE ENGINE. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN TWO YEARS. THE FIRST TIME WAS UNDER HARD ACCELERATION WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE RED-LINED AND I HAD TO PUT THE CAT IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT OFF THE IGNITION. THE NEXT THREE TIME I EXPERIENCED THIS WAS DURING MODERATE TO LIGHT ACCELERATION IN PASSING CARS BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 35MPH AND 45 MPH. I HAVE ELIMINATED THE FLOOR MAT AS A CAUSE FOR THIS. I HAVE THE ANCHOR AND GROMMET TYPE MAT THAT CANNOT SLIDE FORWARD. MY FEAR IS THAT A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER WOULD HAVE CRASHED IN ANY OF THESE FOUR OCCURRENCES. *JS

BREAKING WOULD NOT REALLY SLOW IT DOWN. SHE WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO THROW THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TI SHIITE DOWN BUT THE VEHICLE KEPT REVVING.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ONE CHILLY MORNING I COULD NOT FEEL ANY WARM AIR COMING FROM THE HEAT OR THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER. I HAD TO RETURN TO HOME BECAUSE THE WINDOWS WERE FOGGING UP AND I HAD NO HEAT. I DROVE ANOTHER CAR TO WORK THAT DAY. I LATER DISCOVERED THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING GASKET HAD A SLOW LEAK AND ALLOWED MOST OF THE ANTIFREEZE TO LEAK OUT. THIS WAS THE REASON THE DEFROSTER WAS NOT WORKING ALSO THE THERMOSTAT IS NO LONGER IN CONTACT WITH ANY FLUID, ONLY THE PLASTIC HOUSING, AND THE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR NEVER READ MUCH ABOVE COLD WHILE MY ENGINE IS OVERHEATING INTERNALLY DUE TO LOW COOLANT. AFTER REPLACING THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING AND SENSOR I STILL SMELL ANTIFREEZE LEAKING FROM SOME WHERE POSSIBLY THE HEAD GASKET AND HAVE TO TOP OFF THE RADIATOR MORE FREQUENTLY. I BELIEVE THIS DESIGN, PLACING THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR IN THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING, IS A SAFETY HAZARD. FIRST OFF IF YOU HAVE A COOLANT LEAK THE DEFROSTER WILL JUST STOP WORKING WHILE YOUR TEMPERATURE READING WILL BE NORMAL OR STILL COLD. SECONDLY ENGINE FAILURE COULD OCCUR, DUE TO A FALSE TEMPERATURE INDICATION, AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. *TR

ON MONDAY FEBRUARY 24 2014 AT AROUND 12:45PM, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I WAS SITTING IN MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC DUE TO CONSTRUCTION ON THE GRAND CENTRAL PARKWAY(QUEENS NY) HEADING TOWARDS THE VAN WYCK EXPRESSWAY(EAST TO BROOKLYN NY). AS TRAFFIC STARTED TO MOVE UP SLOWLY, I HAD PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE FORWARD AND WITHOUT HESITATION THE CAR JUMPS FROM 7 MPH TO FULL THROTTLE. EVEN WHEN I HAD APPLIED THE BRAKES ( I FELT THE BRAKES ON THE ROTORS BUT IT DIDN'T STOP) THE VEHICLE HAD STAYED STUCK ON FULL THROTTLE AND HAD STRUCK THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. IT BOUNCED OFF THE 1ST VEHICLE AND IT WAS AT THIS POINT I HAD PLACED BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES, TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS STANDING ON THEM WITH MY HEAD HITTING THE ROOF OF THE CAR. THE CAR PROCEEDED ON (STILL IN FULL THROTTLE AND BRAKES APPLIED) AND SMASHED IN BETWEEN TWO OTHER VEHICLES FURTHER UP AND AFTER THAT COLLISION THATS WHEN THE CAR FINALLY HAD CAME TO A STOP. I NEVER HEARD OR SEEN ANY VEHICLE TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN LIKE THAT. TWO DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT I HAD ASKED AROUND ON FACEBOOK ON SEVERAL MUSTANG ENTHUSIAST/CLUB PAGES AND NO ONE HAS HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. A WEEK LATER MY INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED OUT MY VEHICLE AND LEFT ME WITH NO CAR AND NOW I'M LEFT TO PAY $3000 DOLLARS DIFFERENCE ON MY LOAN AND $500 TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I ALSO ASKED ON FORD'S FACEBOOK PAGE AND I WAS GIVEN A NUMBER FROM A CUSTOMER RELATIONS REPRESENTATIVE. I HAD CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS AND "WHAT WILL I LIKE TO DO WITH THIS?". A FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME ABOUT CAR COMPLAINTS.COM AND I CAME ACROSS MORE THAN 20 COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO WAS TOLD RECENTLY TO CHECK THIS WEBSITE TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I LOVED THAT CAR AND THAT WHOLE SITUATION LEFT ME DEPRESSED AND FRUSTRATED. *TR

WHEN SOMEONE FINALLY DIES FROM THIS INCIDENT WHICH HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES BY CONSUMERS BOTH ON THIS SITE AND WITH TSB'S FROM FORD ISSUED AS EARLY AS 2007 THEN SOMEONE WILL TAKE NOTICE JUST LIKE WHAT JUST HAPPENED AT GM. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. THERE ARE MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL FAILURES DUE TO A SERIOUS WATER LEAK AFFECTING THE ENTIRE CAR. MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE FEB. 8 2014 AND WE JUST PICKED IT UP FOR THIS ISSUE WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED ONCE BEFORE. NOW WITH ANOTHER FEE OF $1,200.00 PAID WE PICKED UP OUR CAR AFTER 2 MONTHS AND UPON DRIVING THE CAR HOME THE AC IS NOT WORKING AND THE SENSOR LIGHTS ARE ON FOR THE DOOR!!! WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR SOMEONE TO REALIZE THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM HERE? THIS COMES AFTER AN EXTENSIVE WATER LEAK THAT CAUSED SERIOUS MOLD DAMAGE INSIDE THE CAR ALONG WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES,ONE OF WHICH A NEW BATTERY WAS NEEDED. THIS WAS FIRST "REPAIRED" IN 5/2013 BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE IN 12/2013 THERE WAS A MASSIVE INTERIOR FLOOD WHICH LEAD TO A MASSIVE INTERIOR MOLD PROBLEM AND THE CAR ALSO WOULD NOT START AND WAS TOWED TO TWO SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS. NO ONE WANTS TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY AND THERE IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF DATA OUT THERE SUPPORTING THE FACT THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS EARLY AS 2007. THE MANAGER AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT ALTHOUGH HE WOULD ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CAR BECAUSE FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL HE WOULD NOT LET HIS WIFE OR CHILDREN DRIVE IN THAT CAR!! *TR

I WAS STOPPED COMPLETELY. THE TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN IN THE INTERSECTION. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND STAYED THERE. I FLEW THRU THE INTERSECTION AT TOP SPEED WITH THE BRAKE PUSHED AS HARD AS I COULD WITH NO DECELERATION AT ALL. I TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 150 YARDS WIDE OPEN. I STOMPED THE GAS PEDAL AND TRIED TO GET IT TO RELEASE WITH NO LUCK. I FINALLY TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND JUMPED A CURB TO GET IT STOPPED JUST BEFORE I WOULD HAVE REAR-ENDED A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. FLAT SPOTTED 2 BRAND NEW FRONT TIRES. IT WAS TERRIFYING! IT COST ME $721.32 TO GET THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. AFTER I GOT HOME I GOOGLE FORD ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AND DISCOVERED THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT IN 30 STATES AGAINST FORD FOR THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED AND I NEED A REFUND FROM FORD FOR THE DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY AND 2 NEW TIRES. *TR

MY MUSTANG IS IN MINT CONDITION (OTHER THAN THE CORROSION OF THE HOOD). MY MUSTANG HAS LESS THAN 20K ORIGINAL MILES, LIVES IN THE GARAGE AT HOME AND AT WORK. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON THE CAR, AND HOLDING THE MUSTANG TO BE A CLASSIC; WITHOUT A CORRODED HOOD! I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND TOLD THEM MY STORY. THEY (CUSTOMER SERVICES) TOLD ME THEY HAD NO COMPLAINTS AND NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE AND COULD NOT HELP ME, SINCE MY MUSTANG WAS WAY UNDER THE MILES LIMIT, BUT OVER THE YEARS. I ASKED FOR CORPORATE AND WAS DENIED THE CONTACT INFORMATION. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND LATER FOUND OUT THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY OUT AND OUT BOLD FACED LIED. THEY AT THAT TIME WERE BEING SUED, "MARCH 15, 2013 NYTIMES - JUDGE ALLOWS SUIT OVER ALUMINUM CORROSION IN FORDS TO MOVE FORWARD." GOOGLE, "FORD MUSTANG HOOD BUBBLE OR CORROSION" YOU PULL UP MANY COMPLAINTS. GOOGLE, "LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD MUSTANG HOOD", YOU PULL UP MANY COMPLAINTS. 89 FORD MUSTANG COMPLAINTS: HTTP://WWW.AUTOSAFETY.ORG/VIEWCOMPLAINTS/64/71/ALL/ALL/1. ON DECEMBER 27, 2004 FORD ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. ISSUE: SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A BUBBLING OR BLISTERING UNDER THE PAINT ON ALUMINUM BODY PARTS. THIS IS DUE TO IRON CONTAMINATION OF THE ALUMINUM PANEL. BACKGROUND: FORD'S SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH LABORATORY HAS PERFORMED A NUMBER OF TESTS ON VEHICLE BODY PARTS RETURNED FOR CORROSION RELATED CONCERNS. TESTING HAS REVEALED THAT THE ALUMINUM CORROSION WAS CAUSED BY IRON PARTICLES WORKING THEIR WAY INTO THE ALUMINUM BODY PART, PRIOR TO IT BEING PAINTED. FORD STILL DENIES THIS! ATTENTION FORD CORPORATE OR CUSTOMER SERVICE DO THE RIGHT THING HERE AND REPLACE THESE HOODS! *TR

Summary

THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE HAS LOST ALL TENSION AND NO LONGER WORKS TO KEEP BACK WHEELS FROM MOVING. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WHEN PARKED ON A HILL THE CAR IS ONLY SUPPORTED BY THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO THE CAR SEEMS TO ROLL FORWARD EXCESSIVELY WHEN PUT IN PARK WITHOUT THE BRAKE ON. I FEEL AS IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

WATER FIRST NOTICED LEAKING INSIDE THE VEHICLE ON 5/2013 AND WAS -TSB PERFORMED ON SEALS AT COWL PANEL. CAR LEAK WAS NOT FIXED AND STARTED LEAKING AGAIN AT SAME SIGHT, THIS TIME WITH EXTENSIVE MOLD SPORE DAMAGE WHICH CAN BE A SIGNIFICANT HEALTH RISK. THIS CAR HAS HAD MULTIPLE(AT LEAST 5 TIMES)CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON,SEVERAL TIMES THE CAR HAS JUST STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND SO FAR 2 BATTERIES AND 2 ALTERNATORS HAVE BEEN PUT IN TO THIS CAR AND IT MAKES YOU WONDER IF WATER HAS BEEN LEAKING SINCE PURCHASE INTO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THIS CAR. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM AT FORD SINCE 2007 BUT A RECALL WAS NEVER ISSUED.

2006 FORD MUSTANG-CAR BROUGHT INTO DEALERSHIP ON 5/2013 WITH C/O WATER LEAKING ON PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD. THIS WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED.CHECK CAR ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON FOR THE FIFTH TIME AND THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR FOR THE SECOND TIME. CAR NOW(2/14) WOULD NOT START AND THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR IS FULL OF MOLD SPORES! I HAVE READ THE FORUMS ON LINE AND IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS LEAK SINCE 2007 AND NEVER RECALLED THIS BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A "SAFETY" ISSUE HOWEVER I THINK IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THERE IS WATER LEAKING ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, THE WINDSHIELD ON THE INSIDE LOOKS LIKE IT IS RAINING AND THE CAR HAS HAD MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES SEVERAL OF WHICH THE CAR HAS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. NOW ON TOP OF THIS WE HAVE A MAJOR HEALTH ISSUE AND THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. *TR

Summary

I OWN A 2006 MUSTANG GT WHICH CURRENTLY HAS 64,000 MILES. THE GAS PEDAL/THROTTLE RESPONSE SYMPTOMS I'M EXPERIENCING ARE; A SIGNIFICANT LAG OCCURS UPON PRESSING DOWN UPON THE PEDAL, WHEN PRESSING DOWN THE GAS PEDAL MOVES ABOUT 1 INCH AND THEN THE ELECTRONIC FUEL SYSTEM REACTS AND THE CAR THEN JUMPS/ACCELERATES MUCH TO RAPIDLY TO A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER RPM THAN ANY INITIAL START-FROM-STOP REACTION SHOULD BE. EVEN MORE CONCERNING ARE THE HUNDREDS OF ON-LINE FORUM REPORTS REFERENCING RUN-AWAY MUSTANG THROTTLE PEDALS STICKING WHILE AT SPEED OR ACCELERATING WITH TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MUSTANG'S SYSTEMS UNTIL VEHICLES ARE ACTUALLY TURNED OFF. THESE CONDITIONS I BELIEVE REPRESENT TRUE SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE DESIGN OF FORD MUSTANGS FROM 2006 ON WHERE THE ELECTRONIC PEDAL SYSTEM WAS UTILIZED. *TR

Summary

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, TURNED A RESIDENTIAL CORNER AND ACCELERATED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY LOOP. WITHIN SECONDS, I REALIZED THE ACCELERATOR WAS NOT COMING BACK UP. IT FELT AS THOUGH IT HAD GOTTEN STUCK OR SUCKED DOWN INTO THE FLOOR BOARD. MY MIND WAS RACING--WHAT TO DO! I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE BUT WITH ME DEPRESSING THE BRAKES AND THE ACCELERATOR RACING THE CAR, MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE. MY CAR IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. OTHER THAN A NEW BATTERY, IT IS PRIMO AND HAS BEEN BABIED! I SAW A CLEARING IN THE TRAFFIC AND HEADED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AS NOT MUCH FURTHER UP THE ROAD WAS TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT. I KNEW IF I GOT UP THAT FAR, AN ACCIDENT WOULD OCCUR. I HAD TO STEER AWAY FROM TRAFFIC! I PUT IT IN 2ND, THEN 1ST, WHILE STILL DEPRESSING THE BRAKES. IT DID SLOW IT SOME AND I CAME TO A STOP. I THREW IT INTO PARK, BUT IT WAS STILL SCREAMING AND ACCELERATING. MY TIRES WERE SMOKING AND I COULD SMELL THEM. I THEN TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND THE NIGHTMARE ENDED. I AM A 53-YEAR OLD WOMAN WHO LOVES MY MUSTANG, BUT I ABOUT DIED TODAY AND COULD HAVE TAKEN OTHERS WITH ME. MY DAUGHTER AND FRIENDS CAME TO MY RESCUE. I STARTED MY MUSTANG UP ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES LATER AND SHE WAS FINE. I PUTTED SLOWLY DOWN THE ROAD TO THE FORD HOUSE AND SHE IS IN THE SHOP. DIAGNOSTICS SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. $800. THAT IS JUST MONEY, BUT WHAT TO DO NOW? DO I KEEP HER WHEN SHE IS FIXED, COULD IT HAPPEN AGAIN, OR DO I TOTALLY TAKE THE SAFE ROAD AND TRADE HER IN? I LOVE MY CAR, BUT I COULD HAVE DIED TODAY AND TAKEN SOMEONE ELSE'S LOVED ONE'S WITH ME. THE THOUGHT OF THAT HAS GRIEVED ME ALL DAY AND I HAVE BEEN INCONSOLABLE. *TR

Summary

DRIVING HOME FORM A TRIP I STARTED HEARING A SLAPPING/TICKING NOISE FORM UNDER THE HOOD. INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM AND SEEMS TO BE COMING FORM TIMING CHAIN COVER/ VALVE COVER AREA ON PASSENGER SIDE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER AND A MECHANIC VISIT IT IS A TIMING CHAIN GUIDE/TENSIONER. ITS A COSTLY REPAIR AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON 05-09 MUSTANGS FORM INTERNET RESEARCH. THEY USE THE TIMING CHAIN CAUSE THEY SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR, CAUSE THEY WONT BREAK. I THINK THE GUIDES SHOULD ALSO LAST, BUT THEY ARE MADE OF PLASTIC AND CAN BREAK AT ANYTIME. I THINK THIS IS A PLOY BY FORD OR A DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS PLASTIC CONTAINED INSIDE OF A MAJOR CAR PART THAT CAN BREAK EASILY, MAY CAUSE CHAIN TO SLIP OFF AND SHUT OFF ENGINE CAUSING BLOWN ENGINE, OR WORSE WHILE ON HIGHWAY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED BY STAINLESS OR ALUMINUM FOR STRENGTH AND BETTER SUPPORT. *TR

THREE TIMES IN THE PAST TWO YEARS, WITH VEHICLE AT A COMPLETE STOP AND WITH FOOT FIRMLY ON BRAKE PEDAL, THE ENGINE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY TO FULL THROTTLE. MANAGED TO KEEP VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL AND AVOIDED OTHER VEHICLES, BUT IT IS BOTH SCARY AND DANGEROUS. ON JUNE 5, TOOK TO PURCHASING DEALERSHIP (STATE COLLEGE FORD, PA), BUT THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. SERVICE MANAGER TOLD US IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN AS THERE IS A TRIPLE-CHECK SYSTEM TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE GAS PEDALS AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 45 YEARS, CURRENTLY HAVE FOUR VEHICLES, AND DROVE PROFESSIONALLY FOR 25 YEARS. I'VE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE. ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO, THEY TOLD ME NO. THEY TOOK IT FOR A COUPLE TEST DRIVES AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. PLEASE ADVISE.

Summary

I WISH TO FILE A COMPLAINT FOR A 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT THAT I OWN. I STARTED TO SMELL A MUSTY ODOR AROUND NOV 2012. SHORTLY AFTERWARD, I NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT WATER LEAK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THAT WENT THROUGH THE TESTING PROCESS TO CONFIRM THERE IS A TSB RELEVANT TO MY CAR. IT COST ME $146.00 TO FIND TSB 08-26-7 APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE. FURTHER RESEARCH REVEALED THIS HISTORY OF WATER LEAKING HAS CAUSED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ON SOME CARS IN ADDITION TO THE ISSUES I EXPERIENCED. IT APPEARS THE TSB REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING NON WEAR PARTS WITH NEWLY DESIGNED PARTS SUGGESTING THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DESIGN RELATED ISSUE. THE REPAIR COST ME $716.00 IN TOTAL. I HAVE GREAT DIFFICULTY PAYING THIS TO CORRECT A DESIGN RELATED DEFECT WHICH MADE MY CAR UNFIT FOR USE DUE TO WATER LEAKING NEAR THE ELECTRICAL BOX, A MOLD SMELL AND ONE DRIVER BEING AN ASTHMATIC. I ASKED FORD FOR RELIEF WITH MY EXPENSES. MY REQUEST WAS DENIED. I AM OF THE OPINION A RECALL IS APPROPRIATE AND REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION.

TRAVELING TO TEMPLE, TEXAS TO VISIT MOM FOR HER BIRTHDAY; I SET MY CRUISE AT 70 MPH AS USUAL WHILE TRAVELING. I APPROACHED A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE, SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO ONE COMING, TURNED MY SIGNAL ON AND TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL TO INCREASE SPEED. WHEN I PASSED THE VEHICLE AND GOT BACK IN MY LANE, MY CAR CONTINUED TO GAIN SPEED AND WAS QUICKLY UP TO 85 MPH AND INCREASING. I TOUCHED THE BRAKES TO SLOW IT DOWN AND THEY WOULD NOT HOLD OR SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE.I WAS TERRIFIED KNOWING THERE ARE A LOT OF CURVES ON THAT PARTICULAR ROAD AND POSSIBLY NO WAY TO AVOID HITTING SOMEONE. I LOOKED FOR THE SAFEST PLACE TO PULL OVER AND SAW AN EMPTY CHURCH PARKING LOT AND HOPED I COULD GET THE CAR STOPPED IN THAT AREA. BY THIS TIME, I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD, I MANAGED TO GET IT THERE BUT NOT BEFORE HITTING A HISTORICAL MARKER AND SNAPPING IT OFF AT THE BOTTOM. THE IMPACT SEEMED TO SLOW ME A LITTLE BIT AND I GUIDED IT BETWEEN TWO BIG TREES AND MANAGED TO GET THE SPEED DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH, SLAMMED THE GEAR SHIFT IN PARK WHILE THE ENGINE WAS STILL RACING AND TURNED THE KEY OFF. I WAITED ABOUT 5 OR TEN MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL RACING AT A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN IN A FEW MINUTES AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL RACING; I TURNED IT OFF, CALLED SOMEONE TO COME GET ME AND CALLED A WRECKER TO PICK UP THE CAR. THIS WAS THE MOST TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE I HAD EVER HAD IN MY 46 YEARS OF BEING LICENSED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE! *TR

Summary

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON SATURDAY TWO DAYS EARLIER, I DROVE TO WORK THEN HOME APPROXIMATELY 130 MILES WENT TO DINNER WITH A WIFE AND FRIENDS. ONE OF MY FRIENDS FROM NORWAY WANTED RIDE IN CAR AND EXPERIENCE THE POWER. FORTUNATELY ON A CLEAR 6 LANE HIGHWAY I KICKED IT HARD ONLY THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE PEDAL FUNCTIONED AS NORMAL RETURNING TO UPRIGHT POSITION. I KICKED THE PEDAL 8 OR 9 TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE FINALLY RESPONDED. IT RUINED A SET BRAKE PADS. THE DEALER SAYS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH CAR - SAID THE FLOOR MAT MUST HAVE GOTTEN STUCK UNDER THE PEDAL. I SAID GO LOOK AGAIN WHEN I BOUGHT THE USED CAR TWO DAYS AGO THERE ARE NO FLOOR MATS IN IT. HE HAD NO FURTHER RESPONSE. SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED TODAY MARCH 23, 2012 JUST OVER A YEAR LATER BASICALLY A DUPLICATE OF THE ORIGINAL. I THINK THAT THESE DRIVE-BY-WIRE CARS HAVE SOME SERIOUS ISSUES REGARDING FAIL SAFE FEATURES OF THE COMPONENTS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED A NUMBER STICKING THROTTLES IN MY LIFETIME BUT AT LEAST WHEN A MECHANICAL LINKAGE STICKS THERE IS AN IDENTIFIABLE CAUSE AND REMEDY. THIS ELECTRONIC CRAP AND THE LACK OF DIGINITY BY BOTH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER TO RESPOND TO A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN IS FRIGHTENING. I BOUGHT FORD'S MUSTANG TO ENJOY IT - NOT BE TERRIFIED THAT EVERYTIME I OPEN THE THROTTLE THAT IT MAY BE MY LAST. I HAVE SEEN A NUMBER COMPLAINTS ON THE VARIOUS MUSTANG FORUMS AS WELL AS ON THIS SITE MAYBE FORD COULD AT LEAST HONESTLY INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

DRIVING MY 2006 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MUSTANG SCS ON THE FREEWAY AND ACCELERATED TO PASS A CAR WHEN THE THROTTLE WENT TO THE FLOOR AND BECAME STUCK. I HAD INTENDED TO ACCELERATE FROM ABOUT 65 TO 70. I TRIED TO BRAKE AND THIS PREVENTED ME FROM SPEEDING UP PAST 85 BUT DID NOT STOP THE CAR OR EVEN SLOW IT DOWN. THE THROTTLE WAS COMPLETELY STUCK. THIS LASTED FOR ABOUT 12 - 15 SECONDS AND THEN RELEASED ON ITS OWN. FLOOR MATS WERE NOT IN THE WAY AT ALL; THE FIRST THING I CHECKED. PLUS, I'D BEEN DRIVING PERFECTLY FINE UP TO THAT POINT AND DID NOT IN ANY WAY SHIRT THE MATS AROUND WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE A LOT OF POSTS ABOUT THIS IF YOU GOOGLE "2006 MUSTANG ACCELERATOR STUCK". I HOPE THAT FORD WILL FINALLY BE ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

Summary

FORD MUSTANG 2006 - CAN NOT PUT GAS IN GAS TANK. WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF WITHOUT PUTTING GAS IN TANK -- GAS JUST SPILLS ONTO YOUR FEET -- CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. FORD KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM - THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN & MANY COMPLAINTS. FORD SAYS THERE IS "NO FIX". SUGGESTS GETTING GAS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATION. I HAVE HAD CAR TO FORD SERVICE 4 TIMES -- SO FAR SPENT $300 ON SUPPOSED FIXES. NOW THEY SAY THERE IS NO FIX. SO - I HAVE A CAR, WITH 20,000 MILES ON IT, THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE. MUST STAY CLOSE TO HOME, JUST IN CASE I CAN'T GET ANY GAS INTO IT. SO FAR HAVE FOUND ONE GAS STATION WHERE I CAN PUT IN GAS IN THE CAR. FORD IS OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKING ON THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR MANY YEARS -- THE COPY OF FORD SERVICE BULLETIN THAT I HAVE IS DATED 2007 -- THE SERVICE BULLETIN TSB 07-21-12 - STATES THAT THE PROBLEM CAN BE IMPROVED BY USING A DIFFERENT GAS STATION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. LOCAL FORD DEALER JUST SHRUGS THEIR SHOULDERS AND GIVES ME A COPY OF SERVICE BULLETIN THAT SAYS THERE IS NO FIX. TIRED OF HAVING GAS SLOSH ONTO MY FEET AND THE SIDE OF THE CAR. *TR

WHENEVER I GET HEAVY RAINFALL OR TAKE MY CAR TO A CAR WASH I EXPERIENCE THE UNPLEASANT SITUATION OF HAVING MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE FILL UP WITH WATER. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I ATTRIBUTED IT TO A FREAK THING. THE NEXT FEW TIMES I STARTED DOING ALITTLE INTERNET RESEARCH AND FOUND ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME THING. I HAVE GONE BACK TO THE DEALER AND CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY DIRECT AND STILL HAVE NO RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE , FORD SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. I SPENT ALOT OF MONEY FOR THE "CAR OF MY DREAMS" AND NOW HAVE TO SHOP VAC WATER OUT OF IT AND RIDE AROUND WITH THE RUG FOLDED OVER TO DRY OUT THE METAL AND RUG UNDERNEATH. MY FRIEND WHO ALSO OWNS A 2005 MUSTANG HAS TO RIDE AROUND WITH A POT ON HIS FLOOR TO CATCH THE WATER AS IT FLOWS IN! THIS IS A DISGRACE AS WELL AS A HEALTH HAZARD FROM BREATHING IN THE MOLD FUMES THAT THE WET RUG EMITS! *TR

Summary

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2006 PREMIUM V6 FORD MUSTANG, AND I REGULARLY GET MY VEHICLE SERVICED. MY MOST RECENT SERVICE VISIT WAS FOR AN OIL CHANGE ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER STANDARD PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE THAT IS PERFORMED WITH THE OIL CHANGE; PERFORMED 05/20/11. UPON COMPLETION, THE SERVICE ADVISER TOLD ME THE MECHANIC FOUND COOLANT RESIDUE ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT AND IT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING. ON 06/24 I DECIDED TO DRIVE TO NEVADA FOR THE WEEKEND, AND MY ENGINE OVERHEATED DUE TO THE COOLANT LEAK. I HAD A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT WITH NO CELL PHONE COVERAGE AND LITTLE TO NO TRAFFIC ON THE ROUTE I TOOK. IT TOOK OVER SIX HOURS BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO ATTAIN HELP AND HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD SERVICE FACILITY - WHICH COSTED OVER $500 TO TOW. I WAS ADVISED THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING CRACKED AND LEAKED, POSSIBLY DUE TO IMPROPER TIGHTENING. MY ENGINE APPARENTLY IS OUT OF WARRANTY NOW, SO I AM FACING A 4000+ DOLLAR SERVICE BILL FOR AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. HAD I BEEN TOLD RESIDUE COULD BE A SIGN OF A POTENTIAL LEAK THAT COULD CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE, I WOULD HAVE PAID WHATEVER WAS NECESSARY TO REPAIR THE DEFECT. I THOUGHT I COULD CONFIDE IN MY FORD DEALERSHIP IN MAINTAINING MY VEHICLE, BUT APPARENTLY I CANNOT. I AM APPALLED WITH THIS EXPERIENCE THAT SERVICED MY VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND MY ENGINE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, BECAUSE THIS IS CLEARLY NEGLIGENCE ON FORD'S BEHALF FOR NOT ADVISING ME COOLANT WAS LEAKING AND MY ENGINE COULD POTENTIALLY FAIL. MY ADVISER ONLY TOLD ME THERE WAS RESIDUE FOUND, AND IT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING I HAD TO WORRY ABOUT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TT

AT 12:00 PM MY SISTER IN LAW CALLED ME AND SAID HER 06 MUSTANG GT WAS HESITATING WHEN ACCELERATING, I ADVISED HER TO BRING IT TO MY SHOP AND I WOULD CHECK IT OUT. I CHECKED TO SEE IF ANY CODES WERE SET, AND THE CODES WERE CLEAR. I TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THERE WAS A 4-6 SECOND DELAY BETWEEN PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE RESPONSE OF THE ENGINE ACCELERATING. I TURNED RIGHT ONTO THE MAIN ROAD OF OUR TEST DRIVE AREA AND ACCELERATED AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR TO FULL ACCELERATION AND THE REAR TIRES SPUN AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD NOT RETURN TO THE RELEASED POSITION. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND COASTED BACK INTO MY PARKING LOT. I, AT THAT POINT WENT TO MY OFFICE AND CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND ASKED THE PARTS MANAGER IF THERE WERE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE STICKING ACCELERATOR AND HE ADVISED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON CERTAIN MUSTANGS WHERE THEY PUT A SHIELD UNDER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THIS VEHICLE DIDN'T FALL INTO THE V.I.N. PARAMETERS. THERE WERE NO ADDITIONAL MATS OTHER THAN THE FACTORY MAT WHICH IS HOOKED INTO THE MAT HOOKS ON THE CARPET AND THAT THERE WAS PLENTY OF CLEARANCE FROM THE PEDAL TO THE MAT. PERSONALLY IT SEEMED LIKE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVE BY WIRE ACCELERATOR. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MY SISTER, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2006 MUSTANG WITH ONLY 7500 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE OWNED IT NOW FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. TODAY I WAS DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND THE ENGINE JUST TURNED OFF. I PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. I DROVE HOME WITH NO ISSUES. I WAS ALMOST ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. IF YOU COMPLETE A GOOGLE SEARCH ON 2006-2009 MUSTANGS, THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE LISTED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, I CHECKED ALL THE FLUIDS IN THE CAR AND THEY WERE ALL FINE. IT DID NOT SOUND LIKE THEIR WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE; THIS SEEMS MORE LIKE A GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM, SOMETHING THAT FORD SHOULD RECALL AND FIX. BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF, THE STEERING WAS HARD TO CONTROL, IF I WAS GOING AT A FASTER SPEED, I MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. THIS COULD HAVE CREATED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

AFTER CHANGING THE BATTERY ON MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT WITH 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION IT IDLES VERY ROUGH AND SOMETIMES DIES DURING DRIVING OR IDLES SO LOW THE POWER STEERING IS NOT FULLY FUNCTIONAL RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE STEERING EFFORT. THE CAR RAN FINE UNTIL THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. I FOLLOWED THE RELEARN PROCEDURE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL BUT IT DID NOT HELP. *TR

Summary

FLOOR MAT PROVIDED BY ROUSH GOT STUCK BEHIND THE GAS PEDAL AND CAUSED MY CAR TO ACCELERATE TO WHAT FELT LIKE 90-100 MPH. I ATTEMPTED TO PASS TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME AND SLAMMED MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE AHEAD; HOWEVER, UPON PASSING THE TRAFFIC ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY NORTH, WHICH HAS A SPEED LIMIT OF 65 MPH, MY GAS PEDAL BECAME STUCK OR JAMMED IN THE MAT AND ACCELERATED TO WHAT FELT LIKE 90-100 MPH. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL THEN ACCIDENTALLY TO REVERSE HEARING A MECHANICAL CLUNK, DURING WHICH TIME I REPEATEDLY SLAMMED MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN LUCKILY, THE GAS PEDAL RELEASED AND I WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING LIKE NORMAL. LATER THAT DAY, I NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR MAT WAS STUCK BEHIND THE GAS PEDAL AT WORK; IT MAY HAVE SLID UNDER THE GAS PEDAL WHEN MY FOOT LIFTED UP FROM THE FLOOR OR THE EXACT TIME I AM NOT SURE SINCE WHEN I ENTER MY CAR I DO NOT LOOK TO SEE IF MY FLOOR MAT IS STUCK BEHIND THE GAS PEDAL. HOWEVER, I AM FILING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THE FLOOR MAT PROVIDED BY FORD WITH MY 2006 ROUSH STAGE II FORD MUSTANG HAD NO HOLE TO LATCH ONTO THE HOOK ON THE FLOOR OF THE CAR AS WELL AS THE ROUSH FLOOR MAT PROVIDED WITH PURCHASE OF THE CAR AND USED THAT DAY, DID HAVE A HOLE TO CONNECT TO THE HOOK ON THE FLOOR, BUT DOES NOT FIT THE HOOK. I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURERS DID NOT ENSURE 100% THAT THEIR FLOOR MATS ARE SECURED TO THE FLOOR; INSTEAD, IN THIS EXAMPLE, IT SLID ON THE FLOOR AND BECAME STUCK BEHIND MY GAS PEDAL. I HAVE SINCE REMOVED THE ROUSH FLOOR MAT FROM THE FLOOR AND DO NOT USE A FLOOR MAT, NEITHER THE ONE PROVIDED BY FORD NOR THE ONE PROVIDED BY ROUSH. THIS COMPLAINT IS MORE A COSMETIC DESIGN FLAW THAN A MECHANICAL PROBLEM, SINCE NO TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD WHICH I COMMUNICATED TO FORD BY MAIL. OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE WENT THROUGH WITH AN INSPECTION OF MY VEHICLE AT MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING DAY (WHICH I SCHEDULED), BUT THE CAR DRIVES FINE TODAY AND THERE IS NO LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. *TR

Summary

THIS IS REALLY UNBELIEVABLE [AND YES THIS IS YET ANOTHER LEAK THREAD]. I HAVE BEEN HAWKING THE ENTIRE LEAK ISSUE, AND A MEMBER HERE IN A RECENT POST HAS IDENTIFIED THE SMOKING GUN - CLEAR PROOF THAT FORD IS HIDING A KNOWN LEAK PROBLEM WITH A BAND-AID. MANY HAVE ASKED AND WONDERED WHY A PIECE OF WHITE FOAM EXISTS OVER THE ELECTRICAL BOX (SJB) WITHIN THEIR PASSENGER COMPARTMENT SIDE KICK PANEL. WELL, IN RESPONSE TO ONE OF THE THREADS HERE, ONE OF OUR MEMBERS HAS NOW POSTED THIS: "... IN FORD'S FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL UNDER THE SECTION ON REPLACING THE ELECTRICAL BOX ...(SJB) ... INSIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE KICK PANEL, FORD REFERS TO THE FOAM SHEET OVER THE SJB AS A "WATERSHIELD" AND CAUTIONS NOT TO REMOVE IT WHEN INSTALLING THE NEW BOX ..." IF THIS IS TRUE, AND IT SHOULD BE VERIFIED BY SOMEONE WITH ACCESS TO THE MANUALS [WHICH I DO NOT HAVE], HERE ARE THE FACTS: FORD DESIGNS AND BUILDS A VEHICLE WITH AN ELECTRICAL BOX (SJB) LOCATED INSIDE THE PASSENGER CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. IN FACT, THE SJB IS NESTLED BETWEEN THE OUTER FENDER AND THE INTERIOR KICK PANEL. BUT FOR SOME REASON - CLEARLY KNOWN TO FORD - THEY FIND THE NEED TO INCLUDE A FOAM "WATERSHIELD" TO PROTECT THE SJB FROM WATER INFILTRATION. CERTAINLY THIS IS [XXX] PRODUCT QUALITY AT IT'S FINEST, BUT IT WOULD SEEM THAT IT IS FAR MORE. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT IT IS PROOF POSITIVE FOR THOSE WITH THE PROBLEM TO DEMAND THAT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) FORCE A RECALL OF THE VEHICLE IF ONLY ENOUGHOWNERS NOTIFIED NHTSA ACCORDINGLY [ANOTHER TOPIC/STRATEGY DISCUSSED ON THESE FORUMS]. IT'S BLACK AND WHITE. THE SN197 LEAKS, AND FORD HAS KNOW ABOUT IT FOR A LONG TIME, AND HAS YET TO TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. AND NO; A TSB DOES NOT QUALIFY. THE MANUFACTURER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THE VEHICLE. WRITING A CHECKLIST - TO BE USED ONLY WHEN A OWNER COMPLAINS ABOUT THE PROBLEM - IS NOT THE SAME AS FIXING THE PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE UNTIL RECENTLY, JULY 2010, WHEN THE CAR STALLED ABOUT 5-6 TIMES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO CROSS THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC. I HAD 2 PEOPLE NEARLY RUN INTO ME BEFORE I COULD ACTUALLY GET IT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE. THEN, IT WOULDN'T START BACK UP WITH ME. I HAD TO LET IT SET FOR A FEW MINS, TRIED AGAIN AND IT FINALLY STARTED BACK UP. HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP, AND THERE IS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE, NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPLACED BEC I AM ON UNEMPLOYMENT AND DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY RIGHT NOW.

Summary

2006 MUSTANG GT MANUAL TRANSMISSION. REPLACEMENT OF BATTERY RESULTS IN ENGINE STALLING WITH AIR CONDITIONING ON WHEN CLUTCH DEPRESSED.. THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES ON REPLACING BATTERY THE COMPUTER NEEDS TO RELEARN IDLE. THIS DOES NOT WORK AT LEAST NOT IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN OVER A NUMBER OF DAYS WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING AND DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH EITHER COMING TO STOP OR TURNING A CORNER THE ENGINE IDLE WILL DROP FAR ENOUGH WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL STALL RESULTING IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES POSSIBLY CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE VEHICLE RAN CORRECTLY BEFORE THE BATTERY REPLACEMENT AND ONLY HAS 22,000 MILES. GOOGLING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET FINDS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WHICH ARE IDENTICAL OF WHICH OWNERS OF THE 4.6L FORD V8 (NOT JUST MUSTANG) ARE REPORTING IDLE AND STALLING PROBLEMS AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY AND WITH THE ISSUE NOT RESOLVING ITSELF AS THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES RESULTING IN EITHER A COMPUTER REFLASH OR THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT. THIS DEFECT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. FORD SHOULD RECALL AFFECTED VEHICLES AND HAVE THE DEFAULT IDLE SETTING SET FOR A HIGHER VALUE SO THE AIR CONDITIONER WHEN ENGAGED DOES NOT RESULT IN THE ENGINE STALLING. THE IDLE OF ENGINE IS ERRATIC WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON SINCE IT IS ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING DUE TO THE LOW IDLE SPEED < 500RPM. BY NOT USING THE AIR CONDITIONER THE IDLE SPEED WILL RETURN TO ITS NORMAL SPEED OF AROUND 600 TO 700RPM BUT STILL FLUCTUATES SLIGHTLY. NOT BEING ABLE TO USE THE AIR CONDITIONER IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH EAST. THE CONTROL FEED BACK OF THE IDLE SYSTEM IS INCORRECTLY OPERATING WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER LOAD ON IT. *TR

I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND WAS STOPPED BY POLICE FOR HAZARDOUS DRIVING. WHEN I EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED, I DID NOT RECEIVE A CITATION BUT HAD TO GO ACROSS A CURB AND STAND ON THE BRAKE WHILE PULLING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP.

MY DAUGHTER'S 2006 FORD MUSTANG ACCELERATOR STUCK THIS AFTERNOON AND ALMOST CAUSED HER TO HIT A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. WHILE STARTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY SHE NOTICED ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO END THE PASSING MANEUVER WHEN THE ENGINE ACCELERATOR "STUCK" WIDE OPEN. THE PEDAL ITSELF HAD COMPLETE FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT AND NO MATTER WHAT SHE TRIED TO DO TO GET IT "UNSTUCK" THE ACCELERATOR REMAINED AT FULL THROTTLE. FULL BRAKES WERE UNABLE TO SLOW THE CARS SPEED. THE THROTTLE FINALLY RELEASED AFTER ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS OF FULL ACCELERATION AND SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE HITTING ANY OTHER VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE CALL A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, NEVADA FORD AT (417)667-3385 OR (800)999-3368 AND ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT ANY SAFETY RECALLS OR INFORMATION ON THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE FROM FORD. I JUST DID A QUICK SEARCH ON LINE AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT STICKING ACCELERATORS ON FORD MUSTANGS. SHE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED FROM MILER-QUINN IN HARRISIONVILLE MISSOURI ABOUT FEBRUARY OR MARCH OF THIS YEAR AND HAS NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL THIS. NOW I BELIEVE THERE MAY HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE ORIGINAL OWNER DUE TO THE LOW PRICE MY DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE THE CAR FOR, $10,500.

FORD SAID THERE IS NO CODES IN THE SYSTEM AND THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE SITUATION TO VERIFY. THEY ALSO SAID THAT I MIGHT BE TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD A PASSENGER VERIFY THAT MY FEET AND THE FLOOR MAT WAS COMPLETELY AWAY FROM THE GAS PEDAL AS THE ENGINE REVVED OVER 3500 RPM. THE CAR OPERATED NORMALLY FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS UNTIL THIS PAST WEEK WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT'S OCCURRED AROUND 20 TIMES WITH 3 OF THEM DURING DRIVING WHERE THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN. FORD HAS SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL A CODE SHOWS UP OR A PART ACTUALLY BREAKS. HOPEFULLY, I WON'T HAVE AN ACCIDENT BY THAT TIME. *TR

Summary

ON AUG 5, MY COOLANT WAS AT NORMAL LEVELS AT A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE EXAM. IN THE DARK IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD ON AUG 7, MY CAR OVERHEATED. THE NEXT MORNING, THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE MECHANIC WHO SAW THE CAR WED AS THE CAR COULD NOT MAKE IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND FORD WOULD NOT COMPLIMENTARY TOW THE CAR. THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE COOLANT HAD DRAINED OUT AS THERMOSTAT HOUSING 2L2Z8592BA WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAD BROKEN. THEY EXPLAINED THAT LATELY THEY HAVE SEEN THIS IN MANY FORDS AS FORD HAS CHANGED THIS PART'S MATERIAL AND IS NOW MAKING IT OF A LESS DURABLE MATERIAL. A REPLACEMENT PART WAS ORDERED FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR WHO ALWAYS NEEDS TO PART NUMBER TO ORDER ANY PART. THEY SAID THEY DID NOT NEED THE PART NUMBER THIS TIME WHICH INDICATES THAT THEY HAVE HAD TO ORDER THIS REPLACEMENT PART FREQUENTLY. THE REPAIR COSTS WERE $610. I HAVE THE PART IF ANYONE NEEDS TO EXAMINE IT OR PHOTOGRAPH IT, BUT THEY MAY NOT KEEP IT UNLESS I AM REIMBURSED IN FULL FIRST. THIS PART LASTED THE LIFETIME OF MY 99 MUSTANG AND 91 EXPLORER AND SHOULD HAVE LASTED THE LIFETIME OF THIS CAR. IT LASTS THE LIFETIME OF OTHER COMPANY'S CARS. PLEASE LOOK INTO A RECALL OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART FOR SAFETY REASONS AS IT CAUSES CARS TO STOP WORKING UNEXPECTEDLY. ON AN EXPRESSWAY THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IF A WOMAN IS DRIVING ALONE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD SHE WOULD DRIVE THROUGH IN A LOCKED CAR BUT WOULD NOT STOP IN FOR SAFETY REASONS, WHEN THE CAR STOPS WORKING UNEXPECTEDLY FROM THIS PROBLEM SHE COULD BECOME THE VICTIM OF A VIOLENT CRIME THAT WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED IF HER CAR CONTINUED WORKING. *TR

Summary

2006 FORD MUSTANG IS LEAKING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF WATER ONTO FRONT FLOOR BOARD AREA, BENEATH DASH. WATER IS SATURATING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, INCLUDING FUSE BOXES AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, CAUSING WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A SERIOUS HAZARD. AN INTERNET SEARCH OF "MUSTANG LEAK" WILL PRODUCE MULTIPLE HITS OF MANY OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM. FORD HAS RELEASED TSB 08-26-7 DETAILING THE PROBLEM FOR MODEL YEARS 2005 - 2009. CONSIDERING SO MANY YEAR MODELS INVOLVED, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE. FORD HAS YET TO RECALL THIS ISSUE AND ACCORDING TO THE LOCAL DEALER, FORD DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM RELATED TO SAFETY, WHICH EXPLAINS THE LACK OF RECALL. EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF WATER POURING ONTO THE INTERIOR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS A POSSIBLE SAFETY CONCERN. THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THIS INCIDENT. IT BEGAN 5 MONTHS AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. CURRENTLY, VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED TO BE REPAIRED AT A LOCAL BODY SHOP FOR AN UNDETERMINED COST AT THIS TIME. AGAIN, THERE WERE NO EVENTS, CRASH OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

THE DEALER CHECKED OUT THE CAR AND FOUND NOTHING AWRY. BASED ON MY OWN ANALYSIS I SPRAYED WD-40 INTO THE TIE ROD AND ROLL BAR BUSHINGS AND REALIZED A SHORT-TERM BENEFIT (NOISE GONE). BUT THE NOISE IS NOW BACK, AND I FEAR THAT THE CAUSE IS SIGNIFICANT. I'LL TRY AGAIN WITH MORE ROBUST LUBRICANTS, BUT I STILL HAVE A CONCERN FOR THE ROOT CAUSE. *TR

I AM CONTACTING YOU TO ATTEMPT TO URGE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE LARGE NUMBERS OF ISSUES ON 2005-06 FORD MUSTANGS (REFERENCE TSB 06-5-4). THIS TSB REFERS TO A DEFECTIVE BRAKE CABLE ORIGINALLY INSTALLED ON THESE CARS IN WHICH THE RUBBER BOOT IS PRONE TO PREMATURE FAILURE. THIS FAILURE ALLOWS MOISTURE INTO THE BRAKE HOUSING. IN VERY COLD TEMPERATURES THE PARKING BRAKE WILL FREEZE DISABLING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE PURSUED REPAIR OF THIS ISSUE WITH MY FORD DEALER AS WELL AS FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY STATE THAT AT THIS TIME THE NUMBER OF FAILURES HAVE NOT REQUIRED THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL. THIS IS THEIR POSITION EVENTHOUGH THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE OEM HARDWARE WITH UPGRADED MATERIALS. THIS IS CLEARLY A FAILURE IN A COMPONENT AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED REGARDLESS OF THE WARRANTY WHICH EXPIRED LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO.

WHEN FUELING MY 2006 MUSTANG, I FIND IT HARD TO FILL THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM UNTIL IT IS OVER 1/2 TANK. DEALERSHIP ASSURES ME THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE SADDLEBAG PORTION OF THE FUEL TANK. ALSO, I HAD TO PUT A NEW CLUTCH IN MY CAR AT 17,000 MILES. I HAD THE MAINTENANCE PACKAGE SO FORD HAD TO PICK UP THE TAB FOR THIS REPAIR. I ALSO HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SO I WAS ABLE TO GET A LOANER BUT I SEEM TO BE DRIVING A FORD FOCUS ALLOT SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR. THIS WILL BE AN EXPENSIVE CAR IF I HAVE TO PUT A CLUTCH IN EVERY 17,000 MILES OR SO. I ALSO HAD THE RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION ARM REPLACED AT 19,000 MILES. AT THIS TIME I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION STARTER STICKING AND CAUSING A SCRATCHING NOISE WHEN I START MY CAR. THIS HAPPENS MAINLY IN THE MORNING WHEN IT'S COLD SO I'M HAVING A HARD TIME CONVINCING THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE STARTER IS BAD BUT I WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT UNTIL I GET RESULTS.

I JUST WONDER HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE WILL HAVE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM AND WHY IT WAS NOT ON RECALL, SO THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, AS WE HAVE JUST STARTED SMELLING THE MOLD, NO TELLING HOW LONG IT WAS THERE BEFORE. FEBRUARY 14 IS THE DAY WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO THE MOLD, AND BREATHING THE MOLD SPORES. *TR

CANNOT FILL FUEL TANK MORE THAN 1/2 FULL. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE BEGINNING OF OWNERSHIP. 4 TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP INCLUDING TANK, FILLER NECK & SENDER REPLACEMENT HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. AS AN EXPERIENCED AUTO TECHNICIAN OF 27 YEARS I INSPECTED THE DESIGN OF THE FUEL TANK AND DETERMINED THAT THE "SADDLEBAG" DESIGN IS FLAWED AT THE TOP AND CENTER, WHERE THAT SECTION IS ONLY ABOUT 5 MM THICK AND IS HIGHER THAN THE TOP LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES, NOT ALLOWING FUEL TO FLOW INTO THE RIGHTHAND SIDE. I HAVE AN APPOINT WITH THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN FT PIERCE ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19TH, 2007. AT THAT TIME I INTEND TO RELAY MY OPINION ON THIS MATTER, HOWEVER I'M NOT EXPECTING A SATISFACTORY ANSWER FROM THEM. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WHEN MY WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED TO DRIVE BUT MY VEHICLE WAS JERKING REALLY BAD.

THEY KEPT MY CAR OVERNIGHT AND WHEN I PICKED IT UP THE NEXT DAY THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND WHEN THEY TURNED IT ON NO WRENCH LIGHT. ONE WEEK LATER, MY CAR DID THIS AGAIN...EXCEPT THIS TIME I LEFT MY VEHICLE ON SO THEY COULD SEE THE WRENCH LIGHT. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP...FAULTY. ONLY HAD 20,000 MILES ON MY 2006 MUSTANG V6. NOW IT IS NOV. AND MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS GONE. AFTER OWNING 6 STANDARD VEHICLES THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER HAD A CLUTCH GO OUT. DEALERSHIP SAID I GOT THE LAST PART IN THE US...BACKORDERED TILL MARCH 2008. I HAVE SINCE GONE TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE 2 TIMES...FIRST TIME WE STOOD IN LINE TO BE TOLD THAT THEY HAD TEST DRIVEN IT AGAIN AND THEY HAD TO RE-DO THE JOB. WENT TO PICK IT UP LAST NIGHT AND ALMOST GOT STRANDED WITH MY TWO KIDS BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. FIRST IT WAS STUCK IN 1ST GEAR...HAD TO TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. SO THEN I TRIED TO PUT IT IN FIRST AND NO LUCK. THEN I TRIED ONE LAST TIME GOT IT TO MOVE ABOUT 20 YARDS FORWARD BEFORE I NOTICED THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THIS WAS AT 9PM...CALLED THIS MORNING AT 11AM AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS READY AND IT WAS THE STARTER. YEAH RIGHT. GOT ONE INVOICE LAST NIGHT ONLY NEED TWO MORE BEFORE THEY BUY MY LEMON BACK!!

Summary

DURING IDLE SPEED, CAR SHUTS OFF BELOW 1,000 RPMS AND HAS TO BE RE-STARTED. DURING STARTUP, CAR DOES NOT CRANK UNTIL ABOUT THE THIRD TIME IT IS TURNED OVER. THOUGHT AT FIRST THAT THIS WAS DUE TO BAD GAS. SO I FINISHED RUNNING TANK OUT WITH HEET, FILLED IT UP WITH GAS FROM A DIFFERENT COMPANY AND IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. IT IS NOT GAS. IT DOES TIE INTO THE DELIVERY OF THE FUEL OR THE IGNITION OF THE CAR WITH IS POSSIBLY A SENSOR PROBLEM. THERE ARE SENSORS THAT ARE NOT TIED INTO THE COMPUTER AND RELAYS AND DO NOT SHOW UP WITH THE CHECK SERVICE LIGHT. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED LAST MONTH, BUT THEN RE-OCCURRED DURING THIS MONTH MORE THAN ONCE AND THE MOST RECENT WAS YESTERDAY, 10/06/06. IT IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE OR THE SENSORS. I HAVE GIVEN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT VARIOUS IDEAS, SINCE THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON, AS TO WHAT COULD BE CAUSING IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT IF THERE WAS NO LIGHT ON IN THE CAR THEN IT WAS MY PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY NEED A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON IN THE CAR. IT IS NOT THE GAS THAT I HAVE PUT IN MY CAR. I RUN 87 OCTANE FROM SHELL. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH GAS FROM SHELL. ALSO, THE FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM IN THE CAR STICKS AND SHOWS EMPTY AND BOUNCES FROM EMPTY TO FULL TO HALF-FULL FOR MY TANK AND THE MILES PER EMPTY GAUGE ON MY DISPLAY METER JUMPED FROM 5 MILES TO EMPTY TO 300 MILES TO EMPTY DOWN TO 150 MILES TO EMPTY. *NM

A 2006 FORD MUSTANG, WITH 5400 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, WAS INVOLVED IN A TWO VEHICLE TRAFFIC COLLISION. THE DRIVER OF THE MUSTANG REAR ENDED A FORD RANGER PICKUP TRUCK AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. UPON IMPACT, THE AIRBAG OF THE MUSTANG FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT FAILED TO LOCK AND RESTRAIN THE DRIVER. SINCE BOTH RESTRAINT SYSTEMS FAILED, THE DRIVER OF THE MUSTANG STRUCK THE STEERING WHEEL WITH HER CHEST. EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED BY THE MUSTANG. AFTER THE COLLISION, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS FLASHING, AND THE SEAT BELT WAS FOUND FULLY EXTENDED AND WOULD NOT RETRACT. *JB

Summary

2006 MUSTANG GT BUILT JAN 2006 HAS PROBLEMS DURING FUELING OPERATIONS. UNABLE TO GET MORE THAN 1/2 TO 3/4 FULL TANK DUE TO FUEL PUMP CUT-OFF. MOST LIKELY CAUSE IS DEFECTIVE DESIGN OF "SADDLEBAG" FUEL TANK AND INADEQUATE TANK VENT. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE "REVISED" FUEL SYSTEM WHICH HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO THE SAME PROBLEMS REPORTED WITH THE EARLIER DESIGN. THIS PROBLEM GREATLY DIMINISHES ENJOYMENT OF VEHICLE AND DECREASES THE VALUE AS THE CAR HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM. *JB

Summary

MY 2006 MUSTANG WAS JUST TAKEN IN TO THE DEALER FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FILL THE TANK WITHOUT DIFFICULTY. THE FIRST FEW MONTHS I OWNED THE VEHICLE I HAD TO FORCE GAS INTO MY TANK BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT FILL COMPLETELY. THE NOZZLE WOULD CONTINUALLY SHUT OFF AND NOT FULLY FILL THE TANK. AT THIS POINT THE PROBLEM HAS CHANGED AND NOW THE NOZZLE WILL "NOT" SHUT OFF AND IT OVER FLOWS *EVERY* TIME I FILL UP. THE DEALER HAS RECOMMENDS THAT I TRY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS UNTIL I FIND ONE THAT I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM FILLING THE TANK AT. THIS IS NOT A FIX AND IT IS NOT CONVENIENT HOWEVER I HAVE TRIED ALL THE FORD RECOMMENDED GAS STATIONS BP, SHELL, AMOCO ETC. THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM AND THE GAS TANK FILLING PROBLEM IS AN ON GOING ISSUE. NOT ONLY IS THIS ENVIRONMENTALLY UNSOUND BUT IT IS ALSO DANGEROUS AND CONSIDERING THE COST OF GAS IT IS ALSO EXPENSIVE FOR ME. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR MY VEHICLE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE ALREADY HAS THE REVISED DESIGN GAS TANK, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM I HAVE STILL PERSISTS. *JB

Summary

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF A 2006 MUSTANG GT I HAVE EXPERIENCED TROUBLE IN FILLING THE GAS TANK. AFTER SO MUCH GAS HAS ENTERED THE TANK THE GAS STARTS TO SPEW BACK OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. TO ME THIS CREATES A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD IF THE GAS WERE TO SPEW BACK ONTO THE PERSON FUELING THE CAR. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS TO I KNOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF RECALL AND FORD SHOULD BUY BACK ALL OF THESE VEHICLES THAT AREN'T SAFE TO FUEL. NO VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO OTHER HUMANS ON THE ROAD AND SOMETIMES FACTORY ERROR BUT THERE IS NO REASON TO NOT FEEL SAFE TO FUEL YOUR VEHICLE. *JB

Summary

ON 5/18/06 I DROVE FROM BRANSON, MO TO KANSAS CITY, MO. I STAYED IN KANSAS CITY TILL SUNDAY ONLY DOING IN TOWN DRIVING THE FOUR DAYS THREE NIGHTS I WAS THERE. DURING THE TRIP HOME SUNDAY MID-DAY I WAS AVERAGING BETWEEN 65 AND 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER ABOUT 45 MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE HOME I APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT. AFTER ABOUT A 45 SECOND STOP AT THE LIGHT I WENT TO ACCELERATE. AS I SHIFTED INTO SECOND GEAR THE CAR DROVE NORMAL FOR ABOUT 35-40 SECONDS, SUDDENLY LOST POWER THEN JOLTED FORWARD. I ENCOUNTERED THIS SPORADIC JOLTING FOUR TIMES DURING MY DRIVE HOME. TWICE IN SECOND GEAR AND TWICE IN FOURTH. THREE OUT OF FOUR TIME NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES ACCORDING TO MY PERSONAL RESEARCH. I DON'T FEEL AS THOUGH THESE VEHICLES ARE SAFE TO DRIVE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. THE FORD MUSTANG WAS MY DREAM CAR SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL AND IT HAS TURNED INTO MY WORST NIGHTMARE. THIS VEHICLE HAS PUT ME IN LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS MORE THAN 3 TIMES ALREADY. *JB

AFTER 1 DAY OF THE CAR BEING IN MY POSSESSION I HEARD A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR END OF THE CAR. MOSTLY GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS AT LOW SPEEDS. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 5 MONTHS AND I HAVE SPENT MORE TIME DRIVING MY 2001 ESCORT THAN I HAVE MY 2006 GT.

FUEL SPILLAGE OCCURRED ON ALMOST ALL SHUT OFF INCIDENTS, NO MATTER WHAT PRESSURE FUEL WAS TRANSFERRED AT (BY REGULATING HANDLE). AFTER RESEARCH ON INTERNET, FOUND MANY OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINING OF SAME ISSUE (SEE ALLFORDMUSTANG.COM'S 2005+ FORUMS) WITH SOME HAVING RESOLVE AFTER TANK AND / OR FILLER TUBE /VENT REPLACEMENT. TRIED THEIR SUGGESTION OF PLACING NOZZLE IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS DID NOT HELP. ALSO REFERENCE FORD SERVICE BULLETIN 06313 (NHTSA ITEM NUMBER 10019387) TAKING TO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW.

Summary

TOOK DELIVERY OF MUSTANG PREMIUM CONVERTIBLE (V6) ON 1/6/2006. DROVE HOME 17 MILES. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP AND TURNING ONTO SIDE STREET, THE ENGINE APPEARED TO ACCELERATE AND THEN STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. DURING SUBSEQUENT DRIVES, ENGINE APPEARS TO ACCELERATE FROM A FULL STOP BUT THEN STALLS. IF ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED QUICKLY ENOUGH, THE ENGINE DOES NOT STOP; HOWEVER, IT MAY EXHIBIT THE STALL A SECOND TIME. DEALER INDICATES THAT NO INFORMATION IS RECORDED ON COMPUTER INDICATING REASON FOR FAILURE. THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. NEXT STEP IS TO INSTALL A "BLACK BOX" TO RECORD EVENT ACTIVITY DURING THE STALL. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. IT ALSO IS VERY INTERMITTENT BUT, IF IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, IT WILL BE FOLLOWING A FULL STOP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. THE FAILURE CAN OCCUR DURING A TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC OR WHILE MOVING STRAIGHT AHEAD FROM THE STOP - EITHER OF WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. *JB

WHEN FILING GAS TANK WITH THE FUEL NOZZLE SET FOR FAST DELIVERY, THE GAS OVERFLOWS ONTO THE CAR. IT DOES NOT TRIGGER THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF ON THE FUEL NOZZLE. DEALER INDICATED THAT THIS IS THE "NEW" TANK DESIGN WHICH CONSISTS OF TWO CHAMBERS. THE RIGHTMOST CHAMBER FILLS FIRST AND THEN OVERFLOWS INTO THE SECOND CHAMBER. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS SUPPLIERS, DIFFERENT BRANDS, AND EVEN DIFFERENT STATES. THE ONLY WAY TO GUARANTEE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE OVERFLOW ONTO THE CAR IS TO CHECK THE GALLONS USED AND SLOW DOWN THE FLOW SO THAT THE NOZZLE TRIGGER GETS TRIPPED. DEALER HAS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. *JB

STRESS FRACTURES ON FORWARD FACE OF REAR SPOILER ATTACH STRUTS (BOTH MOUNTS). VEHICLE LESS THEN A MONTH OLD WITH LESS THEN 600 MILES. 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT. NO APPARENT REASON FOR CRACKS IN COMPOSITE SPOILER. CRACKS ARE NOT SURFACE CRACKS (VERY DEEP) AND DO AFFECT SPOILER MOUNT INTEGRITY. FRACTURES ARE LOCATED ON THE FORWARD FACE / BOTTOM OF THE STRUTS, CENTERED AND STARTING AT FORWARD MOUNT BOLTS AND EXTENDING UPWARD. SUSPECT SPOILER ATTACH NUTS ON STUDS, OVER TORQUED DURING FACTORY INSTALLATION. MULTIPLE FISSURES EXTEND OVER TWO INCHES ON EACH STRUT AND MAY RESULT IN SPOILER DETACHING FROM TRUNK DECK LID. FORD DECLINED WARRANTY REPAIR, STATING CRACKS WERE CAUSED FROM "AN OUTSIDE SOURCE." FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IN COMPOSITES, AS AN AIRCRAFT MECHANIC, SUSPECT STRESS FRACTURES FROM MOUNTING ERROR, EXPOSED VIA AIRFLOW OVER SPOILER, CREATING A DOWN FORCE AND OVER LOADING STRUT MOUNTS. TWO SEPARATE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AGREED THAT FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY IMPROPER MOUNTING OF SPOILER AND NOT CAUSED BY OWNER. FORD WARRANTY DOES NOT AGREE, BUT DOES AGREE THAT SPOILER MUST BE REPLACED IF EXHIBITING THESE CRACKS AS THIS MAY CAUSE INJURY / DAMAGE TO OTHER PERSONS / VEHICLES AS SPOILER MAY DETACH WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION. *JB

Summary

WHILE DRIVING AT 20-25 MPH GOING INTO A RIGHT HAND TURN THE CAR MADE A LOUD POP. THE LEFT REAR TIRE LOST CONTROL. THE REAR END WITH POWER ONLY ON THE GOOD WHEEL WAS LOSING CONTROL AND WITHIN A SECOND THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS OFF THE WHEEL. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN 1 CITY BLOCK TO THE CLOSEST PLACE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. BOTH LEFT FRONT AND REAR WHEELS ARE DESTROYED FROM CRUNCHING ON THE CONCRETE THE ONE BLOCK OF DRIVING TO GET SAFELY OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. ONCE STOPPED THE CAR COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. HAD TO CALL 24 HR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOW THE VEHICLE. A PRELIMINARY LOOK AT A FORD SERVICE GARAGE FOUND THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM TOTALLY SEPARATED FROM IT'S ATTACHMENT POINT. THE REAR SWAY BAR AND THE REAR AXLE HAD BEEN SHIFTED OUT OF POSITION ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC. THIS CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, AVERAGING 33 OR SO MILES A DAY ON HIGHWAY, AND STATE MAINTAINED ROADS ONLY. THERE IS NO REASON I KNOW OF FOR THIS OUTSIDE OF A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE VEHICLE. LOOKS LIKE A RECALL OF 2006 MUSTANG GT'S WOULD BE APPROPRIATE. HAD I BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, I MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ALIVE TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. I'M OUTRAGED TO SAY THE LEAST, BUT ALSO DISAPPOINTED. AGAIN, THE FACT THAT THE LEFT WHEELS WERE DESTROYED ALONG WITH THE TIRES WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN HAS INDICATED TO ME THE VEHICLE PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE CAR DID HAVE FACTORY INSTALLED TRACTION CONTROL WHICH I ASSUME MAY HAVE HELPED KEEP THE CAR FROM CRASHING INTO A HOUSE WHEN THE REAR END LOST CONTROL IN THE TURN. NEVERTHELESS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT I THINK ALL MUSTANG OWNERS OF THE 2006 GT SHOULD BE AWARE OF. FORD SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF IT ALSO. THE FINAL ASSEMBLY LOCATION IS SHOWN AS FLATROCK MICHIGAN. I CAN'T SAY I HAVE ANY DESIRE TO DRIVE A MUSTANG EVER AGAIN, EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS THE FIRST ONE I HAVE BOUGHT. *NM

I HAVE USED TWO DIFFERENT STATIONS WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I ALSO TALKED TO A COWORKER WHO OWNS A 2005 MUSTANG AND HE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, AND ONLY AVOIDS THE PROBLEM BY PUTTING IN A FEW DOLLARS WORTH OF GAS AT A TIME. NEVER FILLING UP.
