Summary

THERE'S A CHRONIC HESITATION WHEN YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR FROM A YIELD/MERGE TYPE SITUATION AT LOW-SPEED. IT'S NOT EVERY TIME BUT MANY TIMES. TODAY I WAS GOING AROUND A CAR THAT WAS SITTING IN THE ROAD WITH IT'S FLASHERS ON (IE DOUBLE PARKED) AND THERE WAS A CAR IN THE OTHER LANE ON THE 2-LANE ONE-WAY STREET AND I STEPPED ON THE PEDDLE TO ACCELERATE SLIGHTLY AND IT TOTALLY CHOKED AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET HIT IN THE REAR AND THEN IT KICKED IN. I NOTED THIS WAY BACK WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND AT THAT TIME I THOUGHT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GEARING WHICH IT STILL COULD. I TOLD SERVICE ABOUT THE ISSUE AND I EVEN TOOK THEM FOR A DRIVE BUT OF COURSE THAT TIME IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I'VE TRIED OVER YEARS TO ID THE PROBLEM MORE BUT WHILE I CAN SEE SOMEWHAT OF A PATTERN IT'S NOT GUARANTEED. ALTHOUGH ONE OF THE MOST LIKELY SITUATIONS IS GOING UP A HILL, TURNING SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT WHILE SLOWING FOR A YIELD SIGN BUT NOT STOPPING AND THEN PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR ONLY TO GET A HICCUP OR CHOKE OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. THERE ARE ALSO ISSUES FILLING THE TANK BECAUSE OF A LACK OF ENOUGH SPACE FOR FUEL TO REPLACE AIR CAUSING THE SELF-SHUTOFF OF THE PUMP TO KICK-IN NOT FILLING YOUR TANK. I RAISE THIS UP AS THIS COULD BE SOME TYPE OF PRESSURIZATION CONSISTENCY. THERE'S ALSO THE AGGRESSIVE ACCELERATOR WHERE YOU PUSH IT A TINY BIT AND IT WANTS TO TAKE OFF ENOUGH TO SQUEAL THE TIRES SOMETIMES.

Summary

AS I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65MPH/HOUR I HEAR A SLIGHT POPPING NOISE COME FROM THE FROM PASSENGER TIRE AND THEN FOLLOWED THE TIRES PRESSURE DASH LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AT MY FIRST OPPORTUNITY. MY TURE HAD GONE COMPLETELY FLAT WITH OUT HITTING ANY BUMPS OR POT HOLES. I PUT THE SPARE ON AND RETURNED HOME. MY BOYFRIEND INSPECTED THE TIRE USING SOAPY WATER AND REALIZED THE AIR WAS ESCAPING FROM THE RIM WALL (STR P245/40 R20) AND NOT THE TIRE ITSELF. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION WE REALIZED MANY STRESS FACTURES ON THE RIM ON ALL FOUR TIRES NOT JUST THE ONE THAT LOST ALL THE AIR ORIGINALLY. I REPLACED MY TIRES PIRELLI ALL SEASON PLUS AND SCORPION VERDE TIRES WITH MY STOCK TIRES. I RESEARCHED THE TIRES FOR A RECALL AND NOTICED A RECALL ON OTHER TIRES THAT WERE THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL JUST DIFFERENT SIZES HAD THE SAME ISSUE, A FAILED RIM WALL CAUSING IT TO BREAK OFF CAUSING ACCIDENTS, THAT MY AFTERMARKET TIRES WERE HAVING. MY TIRES ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALLED PIRELLIS SO THEREFORE I HAVE NOT BEEN USING MY TIRES FOR FEAR THE OTHER 3 TIRES WILL ALSO WORSEN AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. STR P245/75 R 20 AND STR P245/40/ R20 ALL SEASON PLUS AND SCORPION VERDE MODELS ALSO THE SEAT BELT LIGHT NEVER TURNS OFF EVEN WHEN THE SEAT BELTS ARE PROPERLY ENGAGED WHICH CAUSES A BEEPING WHILE DRIVING.

THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT GO INTO OVERDRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY SO I PULLED OVER AND THEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE MANUALLY SWITCHED FROM GEAR TO GEAR AND THEN DROVE FINE. THE THE VEHICLE STARTS DOING THE SAME THING AFTER WARMING UP. NOW REVERSE AND 3RD ARE OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS WARM. IVE HAD SENSORS BANDS AND OTHER THINGS REPLACED. EVERYTHING SHORT OF A NEW TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED. NOW I CANT FIND A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP THAT WILL REBUILD IT DUE TO SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS THEY DO NOT WANT TO PUT A WARRANTY ON IT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. SOMETHING IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE OR LICENSED TECHNICIANS WOULD REPAIR THEM AND WOULDNT CARE TO OFFER A WARRANTY. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS OFF AND ON SINCE 2017. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT ALL THE COMPLAINTS HAVE NOT RESULTED IN A RECALL.

WAITED OVER AN HOUR TO BE INFORMED THAT THE PART WASN'T IN THE SHOP AND THEY WOULD CALL WHEN IT WAS. I HAVE NOW CALLED TO GET BOTH AIRBAGS REPAIRED AS EACH TIME I TAKE OFF I LOSE PAY. ARE YOU GOING TO PAY FOR MY TIME OFF OR A RENTAL CAR? I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACKORDER AND THAT THERE WAS NO ETA AND AS SOON AS THEY WERE AVAILABLE THEY WOULD CALL ME. I MADE THE CALL ON AUGUST 27, 2018 HERE IT IS OCTOBER 3 WITH STILL NO CALL BACK. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET THE REPAIRS DONE WHEN THE REPAIR SHOP CAN'T GET THE PARTS IN AND CALL THEIR CUSTOMERS!!!

TAKATA RECALL I KEEP GETTING A RECALL LETTER FOR THE AIRBAG OF MY FORD MUSTANG. I LIVE IN THE CITY OF OXNARD AND EVERYTIME I GET THIS LETTER, I CALLED MY FORD DEALERSHIP IN OXNARD AND THEY NEVER HAVE THE PART. I AM ALWAYS TOLD THAT THEY RUN OF IT AND UNTIL NEXT MONTH BUT NEXT MONTH IT IS THE SAME ISSUE. I STARTED TO BELIEVE THEY DO NOT EVEN HAVE ANY PARTS AT ALL AND ARE PROBABLY TELLING ALL OF THE CUSTOMER THE SAME STORY. I DO NOT KNOW, BUT IF YOU OPEN AN INVESTIGATION YOU WILL KNOW. I JUST HOPE I DO NOT GET IN ANY CAR ACCIDENTS AS I HAVE WHAT IS KNOWN "GLASS BONES" AND AN AIRBAG FOR ME WILL MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. PLEASE FOLLOW UP WITH FORD DEALERSHIP ON GETTING PARTS FOR RECALL 16S26/NHTSA RECALL 16-V-384. IT IS JUST SO HARD TO BELIEVE THAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS DONE FOR OVER A YEAR AND I AM STILL HEARING THE SAME STORY FROM THEM.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD STATING THAT PARTS WERE IN STOCK FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL AT MY DEALER. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND BROUGHT MY CAR TO WYNNE FORD TAKING TIME OUT OF MY DAY ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY HAD ONLY RECEIVED 8 UNITS AND THEY WERE ALREADY GONE. THEY HAD NO IDEA WHEN MORE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS SINCE THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED AND STILL NO REPAIRS AVAILABLE. I DO NOT CONSIDER THIS TIMELY CORRECTIVE ACTION. FORD'S TEMPORARY SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM WAS TO NOT LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS HARDLY A VIABLE SOLUTION IN A 4 PASSENGER VEHICLE WITH A FAMILY OF 4. WHEN I CALLED THE FORD HELP LINE I WAS DIRECTED TO SOMEONE TO WHOM ENGLISH IS NOT THEIR NATIVE TONGUE. THEY WERE RUDE AND UNHELPFUL. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET A LOANER VEHICLE THROUGH THE WEB SITE BUT THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN 22 MONTHS FOR A TEMPORARY FIX. FORD IS STILL TURNING OUT VEHICLES AND THEY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN ACTION USING PARTS ON HAND INSTEAD OF PUTTING THEM IN NEW VEHICLES.

MY LOCAL DEALER WAS VERY HELPFUL AND REFERRED ME TO THIS WEB SITE AND IT SHOWS THAT IT HAS NO RECALLS BUT I HAVE NOTICED THAT ALL OTHER 2007 MUSTANGS IN USA HAVE BEEN RECALLED IS THERE ANY WAY THAT YOU COULD CHECK OUT MY VIN AS I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AUSTRALIA AS WELL AND THEY CALLED IT A GRAY IMPORT AND COULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME . THIS WEBSITE IS THE ONLY SITE THAT GIVES ME AN EMAIL ADDRESS TO TRY TO GET A DEFINITE ANSWER . REGARDS [XXX]. I HAVE JUST TRIED FILLING IN MY ADDRESS AND IT WON'T ALLOW ME TO PUT AUSTRALIA IN AS A STATE OR COUNTRY SO I WILL ENTER ALASKA AS A STATE .

Summary

TAKATA RECALL: IT IS UNFATHOMABLE THAT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THE NHTSA FEEL THE RECALL PLAN IS ACCEPTABLE FOR VEHICLE OWNERS. WE ARE BEING TOLD TO LIVE WITH THE DEFECT FOR AT LEAST 2 FULL YEARS - RECALL WAS JUNE 2016 AND LATEST NOTICE IS THAT PARTS FOR SOME VEHICLES ARE EXPECTED IN SPRING 2018. DURING THIS TIME THE REMEDY IS THAT PASSENGERS CANNOT RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND INFLICTS IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO VEHICLE OWNERS AS THIS REMEDY SEVERELY LIMITS USE OF THE VEHICLE FAR BELOW ITS INTENDED USE. I REALIZE THE RECALL IS WITH RESPECT TO A PART SUPPLIED TO FORD, BUT THIS MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. WHEN I BUY THE VEHICLE, I PURCHASE A FORD VEHICLE, PERIOD. I FEEL IT IS A DERELICTION OF DUTY FOR THE NHTSA TO HAVE ALLOWED THIS RECALL PLAN TO BE FORCED UNFAIRLY ON TO VEHICLE OWNERS. I BELIEVE THE PLAN SHOULD BE AMENDED SUCH THAT FORD IS REQUIRED TO DEVELOP THE PARTS SOONER AND, MOREOVER, VEHICLE OWNERS SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THIS EXTREME LIMITATION ON THE USE OF OUR VEHICLES. I'M SURE IF A COMPANY LIKE FORD REALLY WANTED TO EXPEDITE THE PROCESS, IT HAS THE RESOURCES TO DO SO. THE NHTSA REALLY LET FORD OFF THE HOOK ON THIS ONE. SO DISAPPOINTING.

TAKATA RECALL MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN UNDER ACTIVE RECALL FOR ALMOST 18 MONTHS WITH NO RELIEF IN SIGHT. SINCE IT IS UNDER RECALL AND THERE ARE SAFETY ISSUES THIS AFFECTS MY ABILITY TO USE MY VEHICLE IN ANY APPRECIABLE WAY. IF FORD CAN'T BE MADE TO MANUFACTURE OR CONTRACT WITH A COMPANY TO MAKE THE NEEDED PARTS, THEN FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO REPURCHASE ALL OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES AT ABOVE MARKET VALUE... SINCE THEY ARE DEFECTIVE AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND I CAN'T TRADE THE CAR IN AS DEALERSHIPS CAN'T RESELL THEM IN THIS DEFECTIVE STATE. I MEAN VW WAS MADE TO BUY BACK CARS JUST BECAUSE THE EMISSIONS SOFTWARE WAS MADE TO DECEIVE PEOPLE BUT THAT CARS WERE AT LEAST DRIVEABLE... TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL CARS ARE NOT USABLE AND SHOULD BE COLLECTED OFF THE STREETS (FOR GENERAL PUBLIC SAFETY).... SOMETHING LIKE THE 2009 GOV'T PROGRAM CASH FOR CARS (OR CASH FOR JUNKERS) WAS USED TO GET OLDER, LESS FUEL EFFICIENT CARS OFF THE ROAD.

Summary

TAKATA INFLATORS - REFERENCE COMPLAINT NO. 11006081 AND NO. 11006075 AIRBAG R07EPLACEMENT - 2007 MUSTANG AND 2008 FUSION: I FOUND THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ON A HONDA WEBSITE - "THE 'ALPHA' DRIVER-FRONT AIRBAG INFLATORS WERE THE SUBJECT OF THE FIRST TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALLS STARTING IN 2008. IN MOST CASES, THE PREVIOUS OWNERS OF THESE AFFECTED VEHICLES DID NOT REPLACE THE INFLATORS UNDER THOSE RECALLS AND, THUS, THE VEHICLES REMAIN UNREPAIRED. NOW, BECAUSE OF THE TIME THAT HAS PASSED, THEY ARE EVEN MORE LIKELY TO RUPTURE IF THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG DEPLOYS IN A CRASH. IN FACT, IN TESTING DONE BY TAKATA, ALPHA INFLATORS REMOVED FROM VEHICLES IN CONSISTENTLY HOT AND HUMID AREAS SHOWED A RUPTURE RATE AS HIGH AS 50 PERCENT." CAN I EXPECT THE SAME, HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF KILL RATE, IN THE INFLATORS IN MY 2007 MUSTANG AND 2008 FUSION AS THEY AGE, AS FOUND BY HONDA? I WILL PAY TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS/INFLATORS REPLACED - REQUEST YOUR OFFICE PROVIDE THE CORRECT PART NUMBERS AND RECOMMENDED PLACE TO HAVE THE WORK CORRECTLY ACCOMPLISHED. I DID NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM YOUR OFFICE TO EITHER REFERENCED COMPLAIN, ANY INFORMATION YOUR OFFICE CAN PROVIDE IS APPRECIATED. V/R, TOM

TAKATA RECALL FORD KEEPS HARASSING ME WITH LETTERS AND EMAILS BUT DOES NOT EVEN HAVE ANY AIRBAGS TO COMPLETE THE REPLACEMENT THIS HAS BEEN 3 YEARS. IF THE COMPANY CAN'T GET THE REPLACEMENTS THEY SHOULD NOTIFY THE CUSTOMERS IF THEY CAN GET THE REPLACEMENTS THE NEXT LETTER SHOULD BE DATED OR WHEN THE CUSTOMER CAN EXPECT THE RECALL BAGS TO BE AVAILABLE. IF THIS WOULD TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE MY AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AFTER THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND NONE OF THEM HAVE THE AIRBAGS.

Summary

BOTH ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH MY CAR NUMEROUS TIMES. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON AND THROUGH RESEARCH, I GUESS IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHERS. WHEN IN TRAFFIC MOVING SLOWLY, WARM TEMPERATURE, MY CAR STALLS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TODAY, IT DID WHILE TURNING LEFT AT A CORNER. I ALMOST GOT HIT. I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE CAR. IT HAPPENS DURING RUSH HOUR SO I END UP MAKING OTHER DRIVERS ANGRY WHICH IS DANGEROUS. THE OTHER ONGOING ISSUE I HAVE IS THE CAR ACCELERATING BY ITSELF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS AND HAS GOT INCREASINGLY WORSE. I NOW HAVE OTHER WITNESS' PEOPLE WHO HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR AND HAD IT HAPPEN. AT MIDAS WHERE I GET MY CAR REPAIRED, THEY DROVE IT AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE BUT DEFINITELY SCARED HIM. THE MECHANIC THOUGHT IT IS COMPUTER RELATED. THEY TRIED TO FIND A FIX ONLINE BUT COULDN'T. SOMEONE HIT MY CAR AND IT WAS AT A SHOP BEING REPAIRED FOR 2 WEEKS. THIS IS A VERY LARGE OPERATION. WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP THE MECHANIC THERE SAID THAT EVERYONE, AFTER DRIVING MY CAR ONCE, REFUSED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. IT SCARED THEM TO DEATH. SHE EXPLAINED HOW IT KEPT ACCELERATING AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THEIR FOOT ON THE GAS, THERE WERE NO CAR MATS, NO EXPLANATION. THEY WILL HAVE THEIR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IT WILL START REVING. WHEN I'M STOPPED AT LIGHTS IT DOES. WHEN I START THE CAR, STILL IN PARK, IT STARTS.THEY STATED THEY DON'T EVER WANT TO DRIVE AND/OR PARK IT AGAIN. THEY SAID IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I KNOW FORD DENIES THE ISSUE BUT THIS IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I AM AWARE OF THE ISSUE SO I DRIVE IT LIKE IT'S A STICK SHIFT IN TRAFFIC AND ALWAYS HAVE MY FOOT READY FOR IT TO ACCELERATE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CALL AND WOULD NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE SELLING IT TO SOMEONE. I DO NOT WANT TO PUT SOMEONE'S LIFE AT RISK. I KNOW SOMEONE HAS TO DIE FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN BUT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM

TAKATA RECALL: AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALLS TO BE COMPLETED OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS - THEY STILL REMAIN UNFIXED. THE LAST ATTEMPT FINALLY SECURED AN APPOINTMENT (SATURDAY, JULY 8, 2017 - 4:00 PM). UPON ARRIVAL, I WAS INFORMED THAT I NEEDED TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE FOR 5-7 DAYS AS NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. WHEN I ASKED IF THEY HAD A RENTAL/LOANER PROGRAM AS I CANNOT BE WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION FOR THAT LONG, I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY ONLY HAVE 40 LOANERS AND THEY WERE ALL OUT. THEN I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A RENTAL PROGRAM. WHEN I EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HAVE THIS COMPLETED FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS, I WAS ADVISED I COULD EITHER LEAVE THE VEHICLE OR CONTACT ANOTHER DEALER. EVEN AFTER I EXPLAINED THAT I FEAR FOR BOTH MY FAMILY'S HE REPEATED HIMSELF STATING I COULD CONTACT ANOTHER DEALER AND WAS SENT AWAY. AS WE ALL KNOW, THIS RECALL HAS NOT ONLY CAUSED SERIOUSLY INJURIED, IT HAS TAKEN LIVES. I AM ASKING FOR NYOUR ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THESE RECALLS COMPLETED. I VALUE BOTH MINE AND MY FAMILY'S LIVES. AFTER 2 YEARS PARTS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE. BELOW YOU WILL FIND THE DEALER INFORMATION: CITRUS MOTORS FORD AND KIA 1375 S. WOODDRUFF WAY ONTARIO, CA 91761 (800) 447-8907 AFTER CAREFUL RESEARCH, I UNDERSTAND THAT TAKATA HAS FILED BANKRUPTCY AND THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS ARE NO LONGER USING THEIR PRODUCTS. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE 4 OTHER VENDORS WITH AVAILABLE PARTS AND THERE ARE NO SHORTAGE OF PARTS. MAYBE FORD SHOULD COMMUNICATE WITH AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY AND TAKE A PAGENFROM THEIR BOOK. I KNOW MANY HONDA OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THEIR RECALLS COMPLETED WITHOUT HESITATION AND/OR ISSUES WITH THE COMPANY. KOODOS TO HONDA, WISH THAT I AND MY FAMILY AS 3 GENERATIONS LOYAL FORD OWNERS WOULD RECEIVE THE SAME SERVICE.

Summary

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I'M THE OWNER OF THIS 2007 MUSTANG. I DON'T THINK THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN COMPLYING WITH CORRECTING THE AIR BAG RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE FACT THAT THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT, SAFETY RELATED MATTER I THINK THAT IT'S A CRIME THAT FORD CAN CONTINUE TO SELL AS MANY NEW VEHICLES AS THEY GET ORDERS FOR AND HAVE NO TROUBLE GETTING AIR BAG COMPONENTS FOR THEM, BUT NOT ABLE TO SUPPLY DEALERS WITH THE PARTS TO FULFILL THEIR OBLIGATION ON ONES THAT ARE IN NEED OF THEM THAT ARE ALREADY ON THE ROAD! I DON'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE NEARLY AS MUCH AS I USED TO BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY HAZARD RELATED TO THIS MATTER. I'M VERY FORTUNATE, I'VE GOT ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE, MANY PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THAT OPTION. TO SUM IT ALL UP, I FEEL THAT THAT FORD SHOULD BE DOING MORE TO CORRECT A SAFETY RELATED DEFECT IN THESE VEHICLES THAT IS PART OF A RECALL THAT I WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO! THEY SHOULD EITHER FIX THESE VEHICLES OR BUY THEM BACK. I WOULD PREFER THAT THEY FIX THEM AS I REALLY ENJOY THIS CAR BUT DON'T FEEL SAFE PUTTING MYSELF OR MY PASSENGERS AT RISK BY DRIVING IT ANYMORE!

TAKATA RECALL DEAR SIRS, THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT FOR OUR 2007 FORD MUSTANG FOR NEARLY 8 FULL MONTHS.

EVERY TIME I RECEIVE ONE OF THESE NHTSA RECALL NOTICES LIKE THE ONE I RECEIVED TODAY, I REPEAT THE VIN NUMBER CHECK, IT IS VERIFIED, I CALL THE FORD DEAL, BRONDES FORD, MAUMEE, OHIO, WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, AND WE ARE ALWAYS TOLD NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND THAT IT'S "NO PROBLEM TO JUST KEEP USING THE VEHICLE. WE WILL CALL OR EMAIL YOU WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE." IF IT'S NO PROBLEM TO KEEP USING THE VEHICLE AND THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS ON A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER BEING IN THE CAR, REGARDLESS OF AGE, WEIGHT OR SEATING POSITION, THEN WHY IS THIS NHTSA RECALL BEING REPEATEDLY ISSUED AND WHY IS FORD IGNORING THE RECALL? *TR

APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASE (NEW 2007 MUSTANG CONVERTABLE), THE ORIGINAL REAR VIEW MIRROR WAS REPLACED WITH AN OEM PART #6U5Z17700BA. A FEW YEARS AFTER DEALER INSTALLATION, IT BEGAN TO VIBRATE VERY BADLY; HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THEY COULD NOT STOP THE VIBRATION. APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO, WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR, UPON A SMOOTH ASPHALT ROADWAY, THE CLIP THAT HOLDS THE MIRROR ONTO THE WINDSHIELD BRACKET, SEPARATED AND THE MIRROR FELL OFF THE WINDSHIELD AND DANGLED BY THE WIRING CONNECTION. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REATTACH THE CLIP TO THE MIRROR, USING SUPERGLUE OR JB WELD; HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DOES NOT LAST MORE THAN 2 OR 3 WEEKS. THE DEALERSHIP BODY SHOP STATED THE MIRROR CANNOT BE REPAIRED, BECAUSE THE RETAINING CLIP CANNOT BE PERMANENTLY REJOINED TO THE MIRROR.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED MORE THEN A YEAR AGO AS WE WERE SENT NOTICES REGARDING TEMPORARY "FIXES" WHILE AWAITING RECALLED AIRBAGS TO BE OBTAINED BY FORD DEALERS. AS OF TODAY MY FORD DEALER ONLY HAS ONE (DRIVERS SIDE) AIRBAG AVAILABLE. THIS PRESENTS ENORMOUS RISK TO PASSENGER AND DRIVER WHILE WAITING. I CURRENTLY HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THURSDAY. SEPT. 1ST. FOR DRIVER AIRBAG ONLY. ON TOP OF THAT IF I CAN'T GET MY CAR HERE BEFORE 2PM, I WON'T GET IT BACK THE SAME DAY. SO I'M STUCK HAVING TO PAY A RENT A CAR FEE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH CAN RESULT IN DEATH AND I HAVE TO BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR THE TIME NEEDED FOR REPAIR. THIS IS NOT FAIR NOR SAFE.

I EXPLAINED TO THE DEALER THAT THE CAR WAS PREVIOUS IN A PRIORITY RECALL AREA AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE FOR THEM. HAVING MY AND MY FAMILY SAFETY FIRST I HAVE TO STRONGLY DISAGREE AND WOULD LIKE THIS DEPARTMENT TO ASSIST NOT JUST ME BUT OTHER CAR OWNERS ON THE SAME SITUATION. THANKS, EDUARDO

MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE COMPLAINTS ON HERE. I THINK MOST ARE MADE UP AND OR FAKED. I HAVE OWNED NEW 2005 MUSTANG GT, NEW 2007 SHELBY GT, USED 2008 SHELBY GT 500, USED 2009 SHELBY GT 500, AND CURRENTLY 2007 ROUSH GT, DATING BACK OVER 12 YEARS, AND I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY OF THE ISSUES REPORTED HERE. NO FUELING PROBLEMS, NO WATER LEAKS, NO THROTTLE PROBLEMS, NO PAINT ISSUES, NO BRAKE PROBLEMS, NO ELECTRICAL ISSUES, NO CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION ISSUES, IN FACT, OTHER THAN THE 2007 SHELBY GT BEING TOO LOW FOR PRACTICAL STREET USE, THERE HAVE BEEN NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. THEY HAVE ALL BEEN GOOD RELIABLE TROUBLE FREE CARS AND I SUBMIT THAT THOSE WHO HAVE REPORTED ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE EITHER MISLEADING, FOR SOME REASON WANTING TO TRASH THIS MODEL, OR SIMPLY CLUELESS, AND/OR HAVE ABUSED THE CAR. I FIND NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER.

Summary

CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND AFTER A RAIN STORM I NOTICED THE PASSENGER FLOOR WAS SOAKED WITH WATER. WATER LEAKS IN FROM THE CABIN AIR FILTER AND DRIPS ONTO THE FUSE JUNCTION BOX ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. WHEN DRAIN HOLES IN COWL GETS CLOGGED WATER BUILDS UP AND THEN POURS IN THE CABIN FILTER THEN INTO PASSENGER SIDE FLOODING CARPET. AS WATER DRIPS DOWN IT MAKES CONTACT WITH THE F J B AND STARTS TO MESS WITH THE ELECTRICAL PARTS, IE POWER WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN BY THEMSELVES, DASH LIGHT WON'T SHUT OFF, RADIO WILL NOT TURN OFF AND CONVERTIBLE ROOF KEEPS TRYING TO GO UP AND DOWN. ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE AND REPROGRAM THE FJB BUT FORD NO LONGER MAKES THIS PART BECAUSE OF THE KNOWN ISSUES. I AM TOLD EITHER TO WAIT FOR REPLACEMENT UNIT TO BE DEVELOPED OR BUY A USED ONE AND HOPE IT WILL WORK EITHER WAY STILL HAVE TO PAY $400.00 FOR PART AND $250.00 FOR REPROGRAMMING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT IS BEING PASSED ONTO THE CONSUMER .THIS HAS HAPPENED TO NOT 1 BUT BOTH OF MY MUSTANGS 2005 AND 2007 , SAME STYLE WITH SAME PROBLEMS

Summary

THE 2007 MUSTANG PULLED OUT FROM THE SIDE-STREET IN FRONT OF AN OLDER CHEVY PICKUP AT A TEE INTERSECTION IN A SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD WITH VERY RESTRICTED SIGHT DISTANCE, AND WAS T-BONED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BY THE PICKUP TRAVELLING AT AROUND 35 MPH. THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE MUSTANG WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL/TIRE/SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY WAS RIPPED OFF THE CAR. THE POINT OF IMPACT WAS BETWEEN THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL AND THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE MUSTANG IS A ONE-OWNER CAR WHICH WAS BOUGHT NEW AND WAS SPECIFICALLY PURCHASED WITH SIDE AIRBAGS (AN OPTION ON 2007 MUSTANGS). THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED. THE AIRBAG TAB WAS VISIBLE ON THE SEAT SIDE BOLSTER. DESPITE THE SEVERITY OF THE IMPACT, THE SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. WE HAVE PHOTOS DOCUMENTING THE POSITIONING OF THE VEHICLES AND THE DAMAGE TO THE MUSTANG, INCLUDING SHOWING THE SIDE AIRBAG TAB AND SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT WITH THE SIDE AIRBAG OBVIOUSLY NOT DEPLOYED. WE BELIEVE THAT THE SIDE AIRBAG WAS DEFECTIVE SINCE IT DID NOT DEPLOY. NOTE: THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG (SUBJECT TO THE TAKATA RECALL BUT NOT YET REPLACED) DID DEPLOY CORRECTLY.

HESITATION IN GAS PEDAL/THROTTLE BODY. WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STOP THE CAR WILL NOT TAKE THE GAS UNTIL THE GAS PEDAL IS DOWN TO ABOUT HALF THROTTLE AT WHICH TIME IT WILL LUNGE AND I MUST LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL ONLY TO REPEAT THE PROCESS UNTIL THE SPEED REACHES ABOUT 30 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL, 2005-2014 FORD MUSTANG. I HAVE THREE OF THESE AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE PREVIOUS OWNERS SAY THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE MILEAGE WAS PRETTY LOW.

I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY THING I COULD DO TO KEEP FROM RUNNING INTO ANYONE WAS SLAM ON THE BRAKES WHEN I DID THAT THE BREAKS GAVE A LOUD SCREECH AND WAS VERY SLOW TO STOP. I ENDED UP HITTING 3 CARS ON THE LEFT SIDE NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED NOR DID ANY OF THE SEATBELT LOCK SO THE ONLY THING I HAD TO STOP ME FROM HITTING MY HEAD AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TO PUT MY HANDS OUT IN FRONT OF ME ON THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN THE IMPACT HAPPEN IT WAS SO FIERCE THAT MY RIGHT HAND GAVE OUT AND WAS SNATCHED OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND I DAMAGED MY RIGHT ARM ON THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. STILL KIND OF HURTS AND I STILL HAVE SCARS.

THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT. THIS 2007 MUSTANG WAS REGISTERED IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN BUT WAS KEPT IN BONITA SPRINGS, FLORIDA CONTINUOUSLY FROM 2009 THROUGH 2013. MAINTENANCE WORK FOR THE MUSTANG WAS PROVIDED BY THE LOCAL FORD DEALER IN ESTERO, FLORIDA DURING THAT TIME. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN 8,698 MILES. OUR CONCERN IS THAT ONLY THOSE VEHICLE REGISTERED IN STATES SUCH AS FLORIDA ARE BEING COVERED FOR THIS VERY DANGEROUS AIR BAG PROBLEM. WE BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO AT LEAST VEHICLES USED IN THE AFFECTED STATES. *TR

Summary

I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, THEN MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN, MY CAR STARTED SLIDING ON THE ICE IN THE STREET, I TURNED THE WHEELS HARD LEFT TO AVOID A CAR PARKED ON THE STREET, THEN I BELIEVE I TRIED TURNING RIGHT TO STAY ON THE STREET, UNFORTUNATELY I HIT A TREE WITH THE RIGHT SIDE OF FRONT BUMPER HARD ENOUGH TO PUSH THE WHEEL BACK ABOUT 2-3 FEET. THE AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF AND THE SEATBELT ALLOWED MY CHEST TO HIT THE STEERING WHEELING CAUSING A CHEST WALL CONTUSION AND EXACERBATION OF MY LOW BACK PAIN (I HAD A FUSION OF 2 DISCS WITH COMPLICATIONS OF CELLULITIS AND OSTEOMYELITIS POST-OP), ALONG WITH PAIN IN MY LEFT HIP REPLACEMENT BECAUSE MY KNEE HIT THE DASH. I ALSO HAVE HAD OFF AND ON NUMBNESS IN MY RIGHT LITTLE FINGER WHICH I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS FROM SOMETHING IN MY SHOULDER OR SOMETHING IN MY NECK SINCE THE SURGERY. I WILL HAVE TO LET MY DOCTOR KNOW THIS WHEN I SEE HIM AS A FOLLOW-UP FROM THE ER. I ALSO WILL BE LETTING THE DOCTOR OR N.P. I SEE AT THE PAIN CLINIC I GO TO OF THIS FACT. THE ER PROVIDER ALSO SAID I HAD SOME DEGREE OF "WHIPLASH". BOTH THE AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT FAILED TO PROTECT ME FROM INJURY. I HAVE SENT A EMAIL TO FORD BUT AM WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. *TR

FORD SHELBY GT500 2007, ACCELERATOR STUCK! WHILE GOING AROUND SOME CARS ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT FIRST I DIDN'T BOTHER TO DOWNSHIFT AND DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I REALIZED I NEEDED TO DOWNSHIFT AND TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS WHILE DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH THE RPM'S WENT UP AND I IMMEDIATELY KNEW THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK DOWN. IT FELT LIKE IT SNAPPED OR LOCKED DOWN. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR BY HOLDING THE CLUTCH DOWN AND TAPPING (MORE LIKE STOMPING) THE GAS PEDAL TILL IT RELEASED. I FEEL FORTUNATE THAT THE SHELBY HAS A GOVERNOR THAN KEEPS THE RPM'S UNDER 6,000. MY PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH OLDER CARS IN MY TEENS WITH STICKY ACCELERATOR CABLES WAS ALSO A LIFE SAVER. I SHOW THIS CAR AND FLOOR MATS ARE A NON ISSUE REMOVED WHILE DRIVING TO PRESERVE THEM. AFTER I GOT HOME I WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE WITH CAR SAFELY TURNED OFF. WILL CONTACT FORD DEALER TOMORROW. *TR

I'M THE OWNER OF A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. I STARTED NOTICING PAINT BUBBLES ALONG THE FRONT EDGE AND UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD. I COME TO FIND OUT THAT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM NOT ONLY FOR SIMILAR MODEL YEAR MUSTANGS, BUT FOR OTHER FORD VEHICLES AS WELL. EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND CONTINUES TO DO NOTHING ABOUT. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE SITUATION IS TO REPLACE THE HOOD AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO COVER THE COST. FURTHERMORE, EVEN AFTER A NEW HOOD WAS INSTALLED, THIS ISSUE WOULD PROBABLY OCCUR AGAIN. VERY FRUSTRATING.

Summary

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE HORN STARTED BLOWING. IT STARTLED ME AND THE DRIVERS OF SEVERAL OF THE AUTOMOBILES NEAR ME. APPARENTLY, OTHER DRIVERS THOUGHT THERE WAS SOME EMERGENCY. I TOOK THE NEXT AVAILABLE EXIT FROM THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED OVER AT A SAFE PLACE. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THE HORN STOPPED BLOWING. I STARTED THE CAR AND PULLED ONTO THE STREET AND THE HORN AGAIN STARTED BLOWING. AFTER STOPPING AND STARTING AGAIN, THE HORN STOPPED BLOWING. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALER. THEY INDICATED THAT EVERYTHING WAS "WORKING PROPERLY AT THIS TIME". THEY SAID THAT THE "MOST COMMON PART FAILURE IS THE DRIVERS SIDE MODULE TO START." THE PRICE QUOTE WAS $1058.48 TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG MODULE. I HAVE REMOVED THE HORN RELAY TEMPORARILY, BUT I AM FEARFUL THAT POSSIBLY THE AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY WHILE I'M DRIVING. IT WOULD SEEM THAT IN ANY CASE, THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN KNOWING IF THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR OTHERS AND WHAT IF ANYTHING I SHOULD DO ABOUT THIS. *TR

Summary

THE SMART JUNCTION BOX ON MY 2007 FORD MUSTANG SHORT CIRCUITED DUE TO A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WHICH CAUSES THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT KICK PANEL TO FLOOD. THERE IS A RUBBER STOPPER WHICH REGULATES WATER FLOW INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT DURING RAIN STORMS. THE STOPPER IS LOCATED UNDER THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS NEAR THE CABIN AIR FILTER. WHEN THE STOPPER BECOMES CLOGGED DUE TO THE ELEMENTS, IT FLOODS THE AREA AND SENDS WATER IN THROUGH THE CABIN AIR FILTER. THE WATER WILL THEN POUR DIRECTLY ON AN ELECTRICAL UNIT - THE SMART JUNCTION BOX. THE SMART JUNCTION BOX CONTROLS ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR, THE HORN, THE ALARM, AND A FEW AUXILIARY ITEMS. DUE TO THE MANUFACTURER'S OVERSIGHT MY CAR HAS A MALFUNCTIONING HORN AND ALARM. I WROTE DIRECTLY TO FORD AND CALLED THEIR CUSTOMER CARE LINE ABOUT THIS CONCERN; FORD DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS AN AT FAULT SAFETY ISSUE AT THIS TIME. MULTIPLE FORUMS THAT I'VE FOUND ONLINE WILL SUPPORT THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS AT THE EXIT OF A PARKING LOT AND WAITING TO TURN OUT ONTO THE STREET. WHEN I BEGAN TO TURN, MY CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE WAY FASTER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE. I HIT THE BRAKES BUT MY CAR WASN'T SLOWING DOWN AND KEPT ACCELERATING. I HIT THE "OFF" ON MY CRUISE CONTROL THINKING MAYBE IT BECAME ACTIVE BUT NOTHING HAPPENED, AS I BEGAN TO COME CLOSE TO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME I TURNED LEFT ONTO THE NEXT STREET STILL HITTING MY BRAKES (AT THIS POINT I HAD GONE A BLOCK AND A HALF WITH MY BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED IN). AS I TURNED, I HAD TROUBLE CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE I ENDED UP HITTING THE CURB WITH MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. AFTER THE IMPACT THE ACCELERATION HAD STOPPED, I COULD HEAR SOMETHING HAD BROKEN, AND FELT IT AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN BECAUSE MY CAR WASN'T TRAVELING STRAIGHT AND I COULDN'T TURN EASILY. THERE WERE KIDS IN THE STREET THAT I DIDN'T SEE BEFORE I HAD TURNED, I SWERVED AGAIN TO AVOID THEM (LUCKILY JUST MISSING THEM BECAUSE AS STATED BEFORE, I COULDN'T TURN IT VERY EASILY) AND MADE IT ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN THE BLOCK BEFORE MY CAR CAME TO A FULL STOP (THE ENTIRE TIME STILL HITTING MY BRAKES). I DID NOT SEE THE ACTUAL SPEED I WAS GOING, THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING RAPIDLY AND TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL. THE CAR DEFECT HAS COST ME APPROXIMATELY $4000.00 IN CAR REPAIR FEES AND ALSO DEPRECIATION. IT WAS SUCH A HARD IMPACT THAT I EXPECTED MY AIR BAGS TO BLOW, BUT THEY DIDN'T. I HOPE THEY ARE NOT DEFECTIVE AS WELL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY HUSBAND'S 2007 FORD MUSTANG WHEN AFTER SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, I ACCELERATED AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, THERE WAS NO LIGHTS ON IN THE CAR AND THE CAR JUST DIED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE LEFT AND USE ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO TURN THE WHEEL INTO A DRIVE AND STOP THE CAR. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND CALLED MY HUSBAND RIGHT AWAY. AT THE TIME, HE SAID IT HAD NEVER HAPPENED TO HIM. I LET THE CAR SIT AND HE CAME IN MY CAR TO GET ME. I REFUSED TO DRIVE IT AFTER THAT. HE WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE IT HOME. HE HAS BEEN DRIVING IT SINCE AND HE HIMSELF HAS HAD THIS EXPERIENCE WHERE THE CAR JUST DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. WE THOUGHT THE BATTERY WAS THE CAUSE BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL SO WE REPLACED IT BUT WITH THE NEW GM RECALLS AND BECAUSE I KNOW THAT MOST MANUFACTURERS BUY PARTS FROM THE SAME SUPPLIERS, THIS HAS ME WORRIED AND I AM THINKING THIS COULD BE A BIGGER ISSUE THAT WHAT WE KNOW. TO THIS DAY, WE DRIVE MY CAR WHEREVER WE GO. I DO NOT LIKE USING HIS CAR AT ALL. WE WERE NERVOUS ABOUT TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM PAST EXPERIENCES AS THE DEALERSHIPS ONLY LIKE TO FIX THINGS THAT THEY CAN DUPLICATE AND WE KNOW THIS WAS NOT GOING TO BE DUPLICATED.

Summary

WHEN TRYING TO PUMP GAS, THE SENSOR CUTS THE FLOW OF GAS OFF AT ABOUT ONE HALF GALLON. IF YOU REMOVE THE NOZZLE, GAS SPLASHES BACK AND ALL OVER THE PERSON PUMPING, THE CAR AND THE GROUND. WHEN YOU CONTINUE TO PUMP, THE SENSOR CUTS OFF EVERY SECOND. THERE IS NO WAY THE TANK CAN BE FILLED IN ITS ENTIRETY. I HAVE HAD THE GAS SET UP REBUILT BY MY LOCAL MECHANIC, THINKING SOMETHING MIGHT BE BLOCKING THE CONNECTION OF GAS ENTRY TO TANK, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. I WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THIS IS COMMON, THAT I MUST FIND A GAS STATION THAT HAS A SPECIFIC PUMP WITH NO SENSOR (NOT A SINGLE STATION ANYWHERE NEAR MY RESIDENCE), I HAVE TO TILT THE PUMP AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE. WELL, I TRIED ALL OF THE SUGGESTIONS, YET MY CAR IS STILL SPLASHING GAS, ETC. THIS IS A HAZARD! NOT ONLY SPILLING GAS ON THE GROUND AND VEHICLE, BUT MYSELF!! ALSO, I CANNOT FILL THE TANK, MAKING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN NEW ENGLAND WINTERS WHERE YOU CAN GET STRANDED FOR HOURS IN YOUR CAR IN ROAD ACCIDENTS, CONDITIONS, ETC. PLEASE HELP! I DO NOT THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO HUNT DOWN A SPECIFIC GAS STATION THAT DOESN'T EXIST, OR SPEND MORE MONEY TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN FIX THIS, OR WEAR GASOLINE WHEREVER I GO. PLEASE HELP!!!!! *TR

Summary

IN ASSOCIATION WITH NHTSA ACTION # PE08060, I AM JUST REPORTING AN INCIDENT. EVEN THOUGH THE INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED THERE ARE STILL DEFECTIVE VALVE STEMS OUT THERE. JUST REPORTING THIS FOR YOUR DATA. WE BOUGHT AN '07 MUSTANG LAST YEAR. IT WAS A ONE OWNER WITH VERY LOW MILES AND HAD NEVER HAD THE TIRES OR STEMS REPLACED IN IT'S LIFETIME APPARENTLY. SO WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THREE VALVE STEMS BECAUSE OF THE CRACKING AND LEAKING, TODAY THE 4TH ONE STARTED LEAKING. LUCKILY MY NEIGHBORHOOD TIRE SHOP DOES NOT CHARGE VERY MUCH TO REPLACE THEM IF I TAKE THE WHEEL OFF MYSELF AND TAKE IT UP THERE, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET BACK THE MONEY FOR THE TROUBLE. BUT, IF IT WASN'T FOR FORD'S LOW PRESSURE WARNING AND US BEING VIGILANT STICKLERS FOR VEHICLE MAINTENANCE, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM. JUST LETTING YOU KNOW IN CASE THERE ARE STILL "ONE OWNER" CARS OUT THERE THAT HAVEN'T BEEN DRIVEN MUCH AND ARE STILL PUT UP IN GARAGES SOMEWHERE. *JS

I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE BUT SINCE THEN TWO OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR HAVE EXPERIENCED IT. I NOW WARN ANYONE WHO HAS TO DRIVE MY CAR THAT IT DRIVES BY ITSELF. I HAVE RECEIVED DIRTY LOOKS FROM PEOPLE, BEEN YELLED OUT, DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. IT ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. I WILL BE BEHIND SOMEONE AT A LIGHT, FOOT ON BRAKE AND IT WILL START REVVING. THEY THINK I AM MESSING WITH THEM. I WILL BE IN NEUTRAL AND IT WILL DRIVE FASTER. I WILL BE IN REVERSE SLOWLY AND IT FLOORS. I HAD TO BE TAKEN TO EMERGENCY BY A NEIGHBOR. I WARNED HER AND WHEN WE WERE RETURNING HOME, SHE PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND IT JUST STARTED TO SPEED UP FAST. SHE NAILED DOWN THE BRAKE. IT SCARED HER TO DEATH. SHE THANKED ME FOR WARNING HER BECAUSE OTHERWISE WE WOULD HAVE CRASHED AND BEEN HURT. SHE WON'T EVER DRIVE MY CAR AGAIN. I HAD MY CAR IN VALET IN LAS VEGAS AT GREEN VALLEY RANCH AND THE GUY WORKING WAS PULLING THE CAR AROUND TO ME AND IT WAS REVVING REALLY HIGH AND WANTING TO SPEED. HE WAS APOLOGIZING PROFUSELY. HE KEPT SAYING HE WAS NOT SHOWING OFF OR PLAYING AROUND. HE KEPT SAYING HE WAS DRIVING SLOW, PLEASE DON'T THINK HE WAS ACTING CRAZY AND HE PARKS FERRARIS! I TOLD HIM IT WAS OKAY AND THAT MY CAR DRIVES ITSELF AND THAT I KNEW HE WASN'T RESPONSIBLE. HE SAID HE WILL NEVER PARK ANOTHER ONE OF THESE AGAIN. HE NEEDED HIS JOB. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE FORD WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS ONE. IS THIS LIKE THE WHOLE TOYOTA THING? IF THERE IS A LARGE LAWSUIT CAN I BE CONTACTED? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING? I KNOW THERE ARE MANY MORE COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE THAN ON THIS SITE. I HAVE SEEN THEM BUT PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THIS IS USELESS.

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF RAIN LATELY. WE PURCHASED THE CAR IN JANUARY. AFTER A HARD RAIN THE FLOOR BOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WOULD HAVE ABOUT 2 INCHES OF STINKY WATER STANDING. WHEN INVESTIGATING ON LINE I GUESS THIS IS A ISSUE WITH MOST MUSTANG OWNERS. IF YOU PARK WHERE ANY LEAVES OR DIRT CAN COLLECT IN THE FIREWALL UNDER THE WINDSHIELD. THERE ARE TWO RUBBER SEALS THAT GET PLUGGED WITH DIRT AND STUFF WHICH CAUSES THE FIRE WALL TO FILL WITH WATER AND BACK UP INTO THE CAR. IF YOU PULL THE PLUGS OUT CLEAN OUT THE DIRT THE WATER FLOWS OUT. THE FIRST TIME WE PULLED OUT THE PLUGS WE GOT ABOUT TWO GALLONS OF NASTY WATER THAT POURED INTO THE DRIVEWAY. WE CHECK IT EVERY COUPLE WEEKS NOW, AS LONG AS WE CLEAN PLUGS NO PROBLEM??? IS THERE A PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. WE HAD QUITE A SMELL IN THE CAR HAD TO HAVE IT DEEP CLEANED!! *TR

MY 2007 FORD MUSTANG HAS HAD A WATER LEAK UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE AREA THAT HAS AND IS STILL CAUSING ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE IN THE CAR. EVERYTIME IT RAINS WATER GETS INTO THE VEHICLE AND CAUSES MAJOR DAMAGE. FORD DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPAIR IT UNDER WARRANTY AND MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE ENORMOUS. THIS WATER LEAK IS A TSB ON FORD'S SITE WHICH MEANS THEY KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE 05-09 MODELS. MY CAR IS NOW OUT OF COMMISION AND WILL NOT START. I HAVE REPLACED TWO BATTERIES OVER THE LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF THE WATER LEAK CAUSING SHORTAGES IN MY CAR. THIS CAR IS NOW A LEMON BECCAUSE OF THE SEVERE WATER DAMAGE FORD HAS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO RECEIVE. I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT WILL NOT START AND FORD WILL NOT REPAIR WITHOUT PAYMENT. I AM SENDING THIS COMPLAINT SO THAT A RECALL CAN BE ISSUSED SO I CAN REPAIR MY CAR. FORD KNOWS THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT THIS. THIS IS A $35,000 VEHICLE AND ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND THE ENGINE WON'T EVEN START. THIS ISSUE IS A MAJOR ELECTRICAL HAZARD AND IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. *TR

I HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY TRIP IN MY CAR IN AUGUST IN HEAVY RAIN ON A MOUNTAIN. AS I TRAVELED THE WIPER MOTOR BEGAN TO MAKE A VERY LOUD & SICKLY NOISE. AND THE WIPERS' WERE FUNCTIONING POORLY OR STOPPING COMPLETELY. I MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION HAVING BEEN ABLE TO GET THE WIPER BLADES' TO WORK AGAIN AFTER THEY WOULD STOP & NOT WORK. COMING BACK HOME DOWN A STEEP DOWNGRADE ON A MOUNTAIN THE RAIN BEGAN TO POUR VERY HARD & SUDDENLY WATER STARTING POURING INTO THE PASSENGER FLOORBOARD & THE WINDOWS' FOGGED & THE WIPER BLADES' STOPPED ALL TOGETHER. I HAD 3 VEHICLES' BEHIND ME ON A STEEP MOUNTAIN. AFTER MANAGING TO FIND A PLACE TO STOP ON THE SIDE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SEE OUT AT ALL & WAITING OUT THE WORST OF THE RAIN. I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP & THEY INDICATED I HAD THREE INCHES' OF WATER UNDER THE HOOD & THE WIPER MOTOR WAS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. I HAD THIS REPAIR DONE AT A COST OF $418 AND NO INDICATION OF WHAT TO DO TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN OR ANY OTHER INFO. I STUDIED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET & DISCOVERED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF MUSTANG OWNERS'. CERTAIN MODEL MUSTANGS' YOU CAN FIND COWL COVERS' TO COVER THE WINDSHIELD WIPER AREA WHICH IS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE HOLES' IN THE COWL & AROUND THE WIPERS' ARE LARGE ENOUGH FOR DEBRIS TO FILL UP THE VENTILATION SYSTEM & THEN THE WATER HAS NO WHERE TO GO BUT INSIDE THE CAR. ALSO THE PLUG UNDER THE HOOD IS SMALL AND HAS NO REAL CAPACITY TO DRAIN OFF LARGE TREE DEBRIS OR OTHER BITS' AND PIECES'. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR CO. TODAY BECAUSE OF MY IRE OVER THIS & TO FIND A WAY TO AVOID THIS REPAIR AGAIN AND TODAY THEY INDICATED NOTHING COULD BE DONE FOR A REFUND OR A COWL COVER OR OTHER SOLUTION. THEY RECOMMENDED SOME WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADE COVERS'. I THINK THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND COSTLY AND A POOR REAL WORLD DESIGN FOR THIS CAR OR ANY CAR. I PARK UNDER NO TREES'. *TR

TRIED TO RESTART IT AS I WAS COASTING, AND WHEN IT STARTED BACK UP, THE MOTOR WAS STILL RACING, PUSH IN CLUTCH, SHUT IT DOWN. COAST INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT ,FREAKING OUT!! STARTED IT BACK UP PERFECTLY NORMAL. TWO DAYS LATER SAME THING , ATTEMPT TO SHIFT INTO 2ND , MOTOR REDLINES! I PUSH THE CLUTCH ,SHUT IT DOWN ,AND AGAIN IT STARTS UP, PERFECTLY NORMAL. SCARY!! THANKFULLY I HAVE QUICK REACTION. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THOSE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS AND NOT SO QUICK REACTIONS. COME TO FIND OUT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS WITH THE EXACT SAME CIRCUMSTANCE. WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS? DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE FORD IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE? *TR

Summary

MY FORD MUSTANG 2007 BEGAN TO HAVE DIFFICULTY TURNING WHILE THE AIR CONDITIONER IS TURNED ON, OUT OF THE PARKED POSITION UPON INITIAL CRANK OF VEHICLE. I'VE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DIABLO FORD DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION & TEST OVER THE COURSE OF 1 WEEK. THEY'VE REPAIRED SEVERAL PARTS HOWEVER, NONE OF WHICH HAVE RESOLVED THIS ISSUE AND THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP THE FIRST UPON ALLEGED COMPLETION OF THIS PROBLEM I ALMOST TURNED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE TRYING TO GET THE WHEEL TO TURN WHILE THE AC WAS ON. IT IS VERY SCARY TO HAVE YOUR WHEEL TENSE UP ALL OF A SUDDEN TO THE POINT IT REQUIRES SO MUCH FORCE TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

DROPPED CAR OFF 5 MIN LATER AS DEALER SHIP IS ON MY WAY TO WORK FOUND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SEAL LEAKING REPLACED AT COST OF 320$ BECAUSE CAR WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY BUT MILES ARE ONLY 35250 MILES. NOW MY SHAKER 500 AUDIO WON'T RECOGNIZE AUX AUDIO. GOING TO BRING BACK AND COMPLAIN. I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AFTER SOME RESEARCH AND THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT IT. I THINK THIS PROBLEM IS BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE IN THE DOOR DESIGN WITH THE SHORT DROP WINDOW AND NO FULL FRAME AROUND THE WINDOW. WHAT MAKES THIS WORSE FOR ME IS MY BROTHER HAS A 1988 MUSTANG X POLICE CAR THAT HAS ORIGINAL SEALS AND WEATHER STRIPING AND HAS NEVER HAD A PROBLEM AT OVER 100,000 MILES. *TR

WENT TO DRIVE MY 3 AND A HALF YEAR OLD MUSTANG TO WORK THE OTHER DAY AFTER A BIG RAINSTORM. NOTICED A MUSTY MOLD SMELL BUT ASSUMED IT WAS NOTHING. AS I DROVE MY CAR UP MY DRIVEWAY, (A SLIGHT INCLINE) GALLONS OF WATER SPILLED OUT FROM UNDER THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX. USED A CARPET EXTRACTOR TO VACUUM UP OVER 2 GALLONS OF WATER (NO KIDDING, EMPTIED 1 GALLON EXTRACTOR TANK 3 TIMES) BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAR NEEDED A REPAIR THAT WAS OUTLINED IN A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FROM FORD, BUT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR THE REPAIR -AND THAT THE GEM MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS THE WATER HAD POURED INTO AND DAMAGED IT. THE PRICE FOR THIS, NOT INCLUDING REPLACING THE RUINED CARPET AND PAD OR THE RUSTED SEAT MOUNTING BRACKETS WAS OVER $1100. IT SAYS RIGHT IN THE TSB FROM FORD THAT THIS ISSUE IS CAUSED BY GAPS IN THE SEALANT AROUND DRAINAGE GROMMETS INSIDE THE FIREWALL, YET SOMEHOW THIS IS THE CUSTOMERS PROBLEM??? RESEARCHING ONLINE I'VE ENCOUNTERED HUNDREDS OF HORROR STORIES FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE, BUT FORD HAS BEEN DENYING THIS SINCE AT LEAST 2005. (6 YEARS!!) THEY NEED TO BE FORCED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AS IT IS PAINFULLY OBVIOUS THAT THEY REFUSE TO DO SO VOLUNTARILY... THE 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE IS NOW A MOLDY HEALTH HAZARD AND I'M TOLD THAT IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BEGIN.THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING ME A FORUM TO VENT MY FRUSTRATIONS OVER MY "SWAMP BUGGY" AS I HAVE GOTTEN NO SATISFACTION ANYWHERE ELSE.

THERE IS A WATER LEAK IN THE FRONT OF MY MUSTANG, SUCH THAT WHEN IT RAINS WATER COMES THROUGH ONTO MY FEET. DUE TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE CAR ALLOWING WATER TO FLOW IN AREAS THAT IT SHOULD NOT, THIS CAUSED WATER TO RUIN MY WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR. I HAD IT REPLACED AND MY CAR LOOKED AT BY TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS WHO COULD NOT FIND THE REASON FOR THE WATER FLOWING INTO MY CAR AND ONTO MY WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR. TODAY, AS I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF A RAINSTORM, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN, AND THE MOTOR WAS SHORTED OUT BY THE RAIN WATER. I SEE THERE IS TSB OUT FOR THIS CAR AND STRUCTURAL ISSUES CAUSING WATER TO FLOW IN THE FRONT, BUT TWICE NOW I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN A RAINSTORM AND UNABLE TO USE MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THIS CAUSED DIFFICULTY SEEING WHILE DRIVING WHICH I FEEL IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN.

WHEN I START MY CAR IN THE MORNING, AND IT IS OVERCAST OUT OR HAS JUST RAINED, MY SHIFTER WILL NOT GO INTO FIRST OR REVERSE. IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES UNTIL I CAN FORCE WITH ALL MY STRENGTH THE KNOB INTO GEAR. AS I AM DRIVING THOUGH, I STILL HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING IT INTO FIRST GEAR AFTER A STOP, AND MANY TIME CARS HAVE HAD TO GO AROUND ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND A FEW TIMES HAVE COME CLOSE TO AN ACCIDENT. THE FIRST DEALER I WENT TO IN VICTORVILLE TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT IS ACTING UP REALLY BAD. I BROUGHT IT THERE ONE DAY WHEN IT WAS ACTING UP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD GET TO IT LATER. I CALLED THEM A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THEY CLOSED AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG, SO I INSISTED TO LEAVE IT AND HAVE THEM TRY IT IN THE MORNING. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED RIGHT BEFORE THEY CLOSED AGAIN AND THEY INFORMED ME EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP, I NOTICED THEY HAD NOT PUT EVEN A MILE ON MY CAR AFTER CHECKING THE MILAGE. I DROVE HOME AND ON THE WAY HOME IT WAS ACTING UP VERY BAD SO I WENT BACK AND TOLD THEM. THE GUY THAT RUNS THE COUNTER WENT ON A RIDE WITH ME AND I SHOWED HIM WHEN IT HAPPENED AND HE SAID HE THINKS I'M PROBABLY NOT PUSHING THE CLUTCH DOWN ALL THE WAY AND BASICALLY BLEW IT OFF. I WAS A LITTLE INSULTED BY HIS ASSUMPTION OF MY INCOMPETENCE, SO I CONTACTED FORD CORPORATE ABOUT MY ISSUE AND THEY SAID I SHOULD POSSIBLY TRY ANOTHER DEALER. A WEEK LATER WHEN I WAS GETTING MY OIL CHANGED AT A SHOP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY WATER PUMP HAD A LARGE LEAK. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALER IN SAN BERNARDINO, WHERE THEY FIXED THE LEAK, BUT ONCE AGAIN FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY SHIFTER, AND ALSO FOUND THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING. I WENT TO A DEALER IN SAN DIEGO WHEN MY CAR WAS STILL ACTING UP BAD, AND THEY FIXED MY TRANSMISSION LEAK, WHICH TOOK 10 DAYS, BUT SAID MY SHIFTER WAS WORKING COMPLETELY FINE.

THE FIRST INDICATION THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WAS WHEN THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. I NOTICED THIS AND MENTIONED IT TO THE SERVICE WRITER WHEN THE CAR WAS IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. I WAS TOLD TO TRY DIFFERENT THINGS TO GET IT TO GO INTO REVERSE MORE EASILY. SOON AFTER THE REVERSE ISSUE I STARTED THE HAVE PROBLEMS SHIFTING INTO GEAR WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR AT TIMES. AT SOME POINT THE CAR STARTED TO SLIP OUT OF GEAR WHILE ACCELERATING. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. I AT FIRST THOUGHT MAYBE I WAS AT FAULT, BUT SOON REALIZED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE CAR. WHEN I INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT. THERE WAS A TSB PUT OUT ON THE MODEL YEARS 2007-2009. FORD NEVER INFORMED US THE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND/OR CLUTCH. NOW THEY TELL US THAT OUR 3/36,000 WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT, SO THAT IF THE CLUTCH IS PART OF THE PROBLEM IT WON'T BE COVERED. FORD SHOULD HAVE INFORMED THE OWNERS OF THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THE CAR. THEY OBVIOUSLY KNEW ABOUT IT, AND DID REPAIR MANY OF THEM. I REALIZE THAT THE NEWER MODEL YEARS ARE ALSO HAVING THESE ISSUES. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL PUT OUT ON THESE CARS. THERE ARE MANY SHELBY GT 500 OWNERS WHO MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

Summary

I DRIVE A 2007 MUSTANG, MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IN 2008, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SEEMED TO NOT BE RELEASING ALL THE WAY. I COULD TELL THIS BECAUSE A) MY VEHICLE WOULD SLOW DOWN MORE QUICKLY THAN BEFORE, B) ON A SLIGHT GRADE, MY VEHICLE WOULD REMAIN IN PLACE. THIS ISSUE OCCURED AFTER NORMAL USE OF E-BRAKE NOT BUT 10 MONTHS AFTER THE BRAND NEW PURCHASE FROM DARCARS IN LANHAM, MD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO LINDSEY FORD IN WHEATON, MD (AROUND THE SAME TIME THE AIR BAG MODULE RECALL WAS ISSUED...) AND THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THEY "COULD NOT VERIFY MY CONCERNS AT THIS TIME". HAVING REPLACED THE AIR BAG MODULE FREE OF CHARGE, I WAS IDIOTICALLY APPEASED WITH JUST THAT AND DIDN'T PRESS THE E-BRAKE ISSUE FUTHER. COINCIDENTALLY, AS I WAS LEAVING THEIR LOT, I WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP WHICH SEEMED TO RELEASE THE BRAKE ENOUGH TO NOT CAUSE ANY NOTICABLE BRAKE TENSION WHILE DRIVING. NEEDLESS TO SAY, FROM THAT POINT ON I WAS RELUCTANT TO USE THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE AND ALWAY KEPT MY VEHICLE IN GEAR WHEN PARKED. JUST RECENTLY, I HAD ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL-- GRADUALLY SINKING TO THE FLOOR (WHICH I WAS TOLD WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH SLAVE), AND AGAIN I WENT TO LINDSEY TO SEE IF THEY COULD HELP. THIS TIME AROUND, THEY NOTICE THAT THE E-BRAKE IS VERY MUCH STUCK, AND SUGGESTED I REPLACE THE BRAKE CABLE. $500.00 I DO NOT HAVE. THEY WONT EVEN BOTHER TO LOOK AT THE CLUTCH SLAVE UNTIL THE BRAKE CABLES HAVE BEEN REPLACED.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 FORD MUSTANG (V6) ON THE HIGHWAY (RT 202-PA) WHEN THE "LOW TIRE PRESSURE" INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OFF AT THE FIRST AVAILABLE EXIT (CHESTERBROOK BLVD) AND WHEN I TURNED ONTO THE OVER PASS MY REAR PASSENGER TIRE EXPLODED LEAVING THE RIM COMPLETELY EXPOSED. HAD THE CAR TOWED (POLICE CAME BECAUSE CAR WAS IN DANGEROUS SPOT) AND CHANGED THE TIRE. APPROX 6 HOURS LATER I CHECKED THE PRESSURE IN ALL OF THE TIRES (WAS WITHIN LIMITS) AND SET OFF HOME ON PA TURNPIKE. 2 MILES ON THE TURNPIKE MY DRIVERS FRONT WHEEL WENT COMPLETELY FLAT. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOME. ALL THE TIRES STEM VALVES ON MY FACTORY INSTALLED PIRELLI P ZERO NERO TIRES WERE ROTTEN (ALL EXCEPT MY REAR DRIVER WHEEL WHICH WAS REPLACED DUE TO A SEPARATE FLAT APPROX 6 MOTHS PRIOR). PER CONSUMER REPORTS WEBSITE, THE TIRE STEM VALVES WERE RECALLED. (08TR414030). I HAVE THE 3 VALVES IN MY POSSESSION. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL. I REMEMBER THE NEWS OF THE ROLLOVER DEATHS IN 2008. THE FORD SERVICE SHOP I TOOK THE CAR TO (TOM MASANO FORD, READING, PA) DENIED KNOWLEDGE OF THE DEFECT OR RECALL. BLAMED IT ON AN IMPACT OR "DRIVING THE CAR THROUGH SOMETHING DEEP". I WOUND UP GETTING ALL OF MY TIRES REPLACE AT PEP BOYS. (I HAVE THE TIRE DOT AND VIN BUT DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THEM AT THE MOMENT.

IN A MUSTANG, YOU CAN IMAGINE THE AMOUNT OF ACCELERATION INVOLVED AND I WAS UP OVER 120MPH IN SECONDS! I HAD TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE TO BEGIN DECELERATION. FRIGHTENING! *TR

THE SECOND VEHICLE DOES THE SAME THING. WHEN PRESSED TO THE FLOOR THE PEDAL STICKS AND THE CAR CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT THE DEALER CANNOT REPLICATE, SO THEY CANNOT FIX IT. I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH FAST REFLEXES AND SHORT LEGS SO I CAN HOLD THE BRAKE ON AND PULL UP THE GAS PEDAL WHILE KEEPING CONTROL OF THE CAR.

THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR MAT/RUG ON MY 2007 MUSTANG WAS NOT LOCKED UNDER THE TAB ON THE FLOOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. BECAUSE THE MAT SLIDES FORWARD IT INTERFERES WITH THE GAS/ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAUSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO NOT RETURN AND ALLOW DE-ACCELERATION/SLOWING DOWN. I TOOK THE MUSTANG TO A LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE THE SYSTEM CHECKED. THEIR CONCLUSION WAS THE FLOOR MAT/RUG CAUSED THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT MUST BE LOCKED UNDER THE TAB TO PREVENT IT FROM SLIDING FORWARD AND INTERFERING WITH THE PEDAL. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS WITH THE RECENT TOYOTA PROBLEM?? I BELIEVE A SAFETY NOTICE TO ALL OWNERS IS IN ORDER TO HELP PREVENT THIS TYPE OF POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS VEHICULAR ACCIDENT. *TR

MANY FORD MUSTANGS 2005-2009 ARE EXPERIENCING WATER LEAKS. THE WATER DRAINS FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD ONTO THE PASSENGER'S FEET. DURING RAIN STORMS, THE WATER SATURATES THE RUG AREA UNLESS YOU HAVE A TOWEL. UNDER THE DASHBOARD, WET WIRES CAN BE SEEN. FOR SOME REASON, FORD WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A 2006 TSB ON THIS VERY ISSUE. TO STOP THE "FLOOD", CONSUMERS ARE FORCED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKET. PLEASE SEARCH THE INTERNET TO READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS. THE FEW MUSTANGS OWNERS WHO DO NOT EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM TEND TO GARAGE THE CARS AND ONLY DRIVE THEM IN NICE WEATHER. PLEASE HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT BY FORCING A RECALL AND 100% REIMBURSEMENT FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY PAID TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR THANK YOU.

I STARTED IT UP TO IF SITTING AND RESETTING THE COMPUTER WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. I STARTED THE CAR THREE TIMES AND I GOT THE SAME RESPONSE. AFTER SETTING FOR A HOUR AND A HALF I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN. IT WAS FINE. I DID IMMED. TOOK IT TO A NEAR BY FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM HOOK IT TO A COMPUTER. THEY SAID, "IT SHOW WERE THE RPM WERE RACING, BUT THERE WAS ISSUE SHOWING UP." THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THIS ISSUE TO HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE THEY HAD IT AND THAT THEY COULD NOT PROMISE ME THAT THIS ISSUE WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAVE SPOKEN TO A CO-WORKER AND HE HAS A 2006 MUSTANG AND HE SAID THAT HIS ACCELERATOR DONE THE SAME TO HIM. I DRIVE FOR A LIVING (A SCHOOL BUS) AND I SELDOM GET SCARED, BUT AFTER THAT MORNING I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY MUSTANG AND NEVER HAD SOMETHING TO SCARE ME AS BAD. I BELIEVE WITH OUT MY DRIVING SKILLS I COULD HAVE HAD A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. *TR

Summary

2007 FORD MUSTANG RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE TIRE VALVE STEM BEING RECALLED DUE TO CRACKING. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND LOOKED AT THE VALVE STEMS AND SAID THEY WERE FINE. FEW WEEKS LATER WE GOT A LOW TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR WARNING. WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE RIGHT REAR TIRE JUST HAD LOW AIR PRESSURE, THEY PUT AIR IN IT AND CHARGED FOR THEIR INSPECTION? THE NEXT DAY THE LIGHT WAS BACK ON....WENT BACK TO DEALER, THEY SAID THE SENSOR IS UNRELIABLE AND THEY SEE NOTHING WRONG SO WE HAD THEM BALANCE AND ROTATE THE TIRES. OCT 4TH DRIVING 65 MPH DOWN I-20 RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT; ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF CAR, RAN OUT ACROSS THE GRASS TO GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED AND UNDER CONTROL. TOOK THE TIRE TO THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING; THEY SAY IS BLEW BECAUSE IT WAS LOW IN AIR??? NO LOW PRESSURE LIGHT? THEY ALREADY WORKED ON THE SAME TIRE 3 TIMES...THEY STILL REFUSE. TOOK TIRE TO A TIRE STORE: FACTS ARE: TIRE VALVE STEM IS CRACKED AND WAS ON THE RECALL, AIR LEAKED OUT SUDDENLY AND THE TIRE EXPLODED! THEY ALSO MOUNTED WEIGHTS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE MAGS WHEN THEY BALANCED THE TIRE, ONE WEIGHT WAS ACTUALLY DUG DOWN INTO THE RUBBER, ALSO, POSSIBLY CAUSING THE AIR LEAK. WE HAD ALL VALVE STEMS REPLACED, ALL FOUR WERE CRACKED AND WE FOUND OUT THE ONLY WAY TO TRULY INSPECT THEM WAS TO REMOVE THE TIRE OFF THE RIM WHICH THE DEALERSHIP NEVER DID DO. WE ARE OUT $275 FOR TWO TIRES, VALVE STEM REPLACEMENTS, BALANCING AND THE LABOR FOR ALL THIS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AND HANDLED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOR FREE DUE TO THE RECALL......NOT TO MENTION THAT IF HE HAD FLIPPED THAT CAR AND GOTTEN KILLED WHAT WE WOULD BE FACING. POOREST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER SEEN; DEALERSHIP SHOULD BE SHUTDOWN BY DMV FOR SAFETY VIOLATIONS AND NOT PROPERLY HANDLING A RECALL NOTICE. (WE HAD TO REPLACE TWO TIRES BECAUSE THEY HAVE 30,000 MILES ON THEM AND WE DID NOT THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD THING JUST THING TO PUT ONE NEW TIRE ON THE CAR! *TR

LOW TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR COMES ON AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF AIRING UP TIRES I TOOK TO FORD WHO SAID TIRES WHERE OVERINFLATED SO THE SET IT BACK TO THE CORRECT AIR PRESSURE ONLY TO GET THE LIGHT BACK ON IN A WEEK . THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE TIRES CAN BE OVER INFLATED WHICH COULD CAUSE THE TIRE TO EXPLODE OR CAUSE EXTREMELY QUICK TIRE WEAR.{EITHER BY OVER INFLATING OR THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE} THESE TIRES ARE OVER INFLATED ONLY TO KEEP THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT FROM COMING BACK ON. I ALSO BROUGHT UP TO FORD SERVICE DEPT. ABOUT THE VALVE STEM ISSUE I READ , BUT THE LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS CRAZY . NOBODY THERE HEARD OF THAT . I AM JUST 1 PERSON BUT I HAVE A SMALL CHILD AND DON'T WANT THIS ISSUE TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THANK YOU *TR

Summary

I HAVE A 2007 FORD MUSTANG 4.0 V6 WITH APPROXIMATELY 42K MILES. IT HAS RECENTLY DEVELOPED A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT WHICH THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE. FOR NO APPARENT REASON, WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND WITH MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BREAK PEDAL,, THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY GO FULL THROTTLE. THIS FORCES THE CAR TO SUDDENLY LUNGE FORWARD AS THE REAR TIRES START SPINNING, OVERRIDING THE FRONT BREAKS. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO COME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO COLLIDING WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME OR ENTERING AN INTERSECTION INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE ONLY RECOURSE IS TO QUICKLY TURN OFF THE IGNITION WHICH SEEMS TO RESET THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS WITH SOME REGULARITY, APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 3 TIMES A DAY BUT IS NOT REPRODUCIBLE ON DEMAND. THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS OFFERED TO INVESTIGATE, AT MY EXPENSE, BUT WITH NO ASSURANCE THAT THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE CORRECTED. I HAVE HAD TO ALTER THE WAY THAT I DRIVE TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS BY LEAVING ADDITIONAL SPACE BETWEEN MY CAR AND THE ONE IN FRONT OF ME AND AT INTERSECTIONS. I FEAR THAT I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PREVENT MY VEHICLE FROM BECOMING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. *TR

Summary

IN EARLY 2007, I EXPERIENCED THE FIRST LOSS OF A TIRE UNDER MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES. I WAS TRAVELING ALONG AT ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN LOSS OF PRESSURE IN A TIRE. THIS WAS NOT PRECEDED BY ANY "AUDIBLE CHIME". PERHAPS I COULD NOT HEAR SAME BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC NOISE. OVER THE NEXT 3 MONTHS I WENT THROUGH A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE ON 2 OTHER TIRES. I WENT TO THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR CARS HAD APPARENT VALVE STEM FAILURE. BY THIS TIME I HAD NOTICED A VALVE STEM WITH A CRACK IN IT. WENT TO MY FORD DEALER AND PLACED A WARRANTY CLAIM WITH FORD. WAS PROMPTLY TURNED DOWN AND TREATED BADLY BY THE DEALER SERVICE MGR., ALSO. I THEN FILED A BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU CLAIM AND SUDDENLY FORD AND THE DEALER WANTED TO SETTLE. THE SETTLEMENT WAS IN A SATISFACTORY AMOUNT. WHENEVER A VEHICLE SUFFERS A SUDDEN TIRE FAILURE, SOME RISK TO THE OCCUPANTS IS LIKELY TO FOLLOW. APPARENTLY NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED IN RELATION TO THIS PROBLEM, THANKFULLY. MY MUSTANG WAS BUILT IN FEBRUARY, 2007. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 FORD MUSTANG WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE BEFORE THE INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED 04/11/09, COMPLAINING OF SIMILAR ISSUES. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN MAY OF 2007. I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR FEELING SLUGGISH AND FEELING LIKE IT WAS VERY STIFF TO SHIFT OR STICKING. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY AUGUST 07 AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM THAT I WAS JUST NOT USED TO THE CAR. ALL THEY DID WAS DRIVE IT THEY DID NOT INSPECT THE CAR. I THEN HAD A PROBLEM IN JAN. OR FEB. OF 2009 IN WHICH IS DISENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE CAR IT WAS SLUGGISH AND WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS AND WOULDN'T DRIVE PROPERLY. THE ABS LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR JUST SAT SPINNING. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT IT IN THE GARAGE FOR A COUPLE HOURS THEN TOLD ME IT WAS FINE TO DRIVE, THEY SAID THE CAR JUST NEEDED TO UNTHAW?? THEY DID NOT LOOK AT IT AGAIN. THIS LEADS UP TO 04/11/2009 IN WHICH I PARKED THE CAR MADE SURE THE PARKING BRAKE WAS SET AND THE CAR WAS IN GEAR. AS I WENT INTO MY HOUSE I HEARD A CLICKING TYPE SOUND AND THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. IT ROLLED ACROSS A PARKING LOT INTO THE NEIGHBORS YARD, OVER A TREE STUMP, HIT A MAILBOX BEFORE COMING TO REST AGAINST A TELEPHONE POLE. THIS WAS WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED AND THE CAR STILL IN GEAR. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND THAT IS WHERE IT CURRENTLY SITS. *TR

SINCE NEW DELIVERY, MY CAR LEAKS RAINWATER ONTO THE THRESHOLD TO THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR SEAL. TO REMOVE THE WATER AFTER IT STOPS RAINING IT IS NECESSARY TO OPEN THE DOOR AND LET IT RUN OUT WHEN DOING THIS THE WATER IS NOT COMING OUT OF THE DESIGNED DRAIN HOLES IN THE DOOR. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS I GET ICE BUILDING UP ON THE DOOR GASKET AND THRESHOLD POTENTIALLY LOCKING ME OUT OR PERHAPS BENDING SHEET METAL. I EXPERIENCED IT ONCE BUT WAS ABLE TO GET IN. MY WIFE IS 5 FT TALL; THERE IS NO WAY SHE COULD OPEN THE DOOR IN SIMILAR CONDITIONS AND SHE WOULD BE STRANDED. AFTER 7 TRIPS TO THE SERVICE DEPT WITH LITTLE OR NO IMPROVEMENT, FORD MAINTAINS THAT WATER BUILD UP LIKE THIS IS NORMAL AND ACCORDING TO DESIGN. I THINK WATER AND/OR ICE DAMAGE WILL EVENTUALLY REDUCE THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE CAR. I HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING IN THE CAR ONCE DUE TO ICE, SO PRUDENTLY HAVE STOPPED TAKING IT IN RAIN OR SNOW. THE CAR IS ALWAYS DAMP FEELING AND MUSTY SMELLING ( I HAVE ALLERGIES) BECAUSE I THINK THE INNER DOOR PANELS HAVE BEEN SOAKED REPEATEDLY. I HAVE DIGITAL PHOTOS AVAILABLE. WHILE APPEALING TO THE DEALER BOARD, THE RI REGISTRY OFFICIAL CLAIMED THERE WAS NO RECORD OF COMPLAINTS SUCH AS THESE AT NHTSA, I SEEK TO REMEDY THAT OVERSIGHT.

I HAVE A 2007 FORD MUSTANG (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) AND I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR A YEAR. ON NOV 18, I HAD PARKED MY CAR WITH THE PARKING/ EMERGENCY BRAKE ON, LIKE I HAVE DONE EVERYDAY IN PAST 1 YEAR. WHEN I TRIED DRIVING BACK, THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. I TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE BRAKES MUST HAVE FROZEN BECAUSE TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW 30 F. THIS IS NOW HAPPENING EVERYDAY THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKES DON'T WORK IN COLD WEATHER. I'VE CHECKED NUMEROUS CONSUMER FORUMS AND A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE FACING THIS PROBLEM. APPARENTLY, THE RUBBER BOOTS AT THE END OF THE BRAKE CABLES WEAR OUT VERY QUICKLY, AND THEY COLLECT WATER OR ICE, WHICH CREATES THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR REFUSED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE CABLES BECAUSE THEY WORK WHEN ITS WARM. HOWEVER THIS DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING AN EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN YOU CANNOT USE IT FOR 6 MONTHS IN A YEAR. NOW I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MALFUNCTIONING BRAKES. *TR

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2007 FORD MUSTANG WITH 13,500 MILES ON IT. LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I HAD ONLY 5,000 MILES ON IT AND MY TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM WENT OF ON A MILD SEPTEMBER DAY. I PULLED OVER AT A GAS STATION LESS THAN A BLOCK FROM WHEN THE SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AND FOUND THE LEFT REAR TIRE VALVE STEM WAS CRACKED AT THE BASE WHERE IT SEATS IN THE RIM. I FILLED THE TIRE AND MADE IT ANOTHER BLOCK TO A TIRE REPAIR STORE, WHERE THEY REPLACED ACTUALLY TWO VALVE STEMS THAT WERE BAD. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND COMPLAINED. I WAS TOLD TO CALL THE TIRE MANUFACTURER AS IF I WAS SOME DUMB WOMAN. AS A WOMAN WORKING IN A MANS FIELD AS A MECHANIC I KNOW THAT TIRES DO NOT COME WITH VALVE STEMS TIRES COME AS TIRE AND I ARGUED THAT WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THEY FINALLY AGREED TO LOOK AT THE CAR, AND FOUND THAT THE TIRE GOING FLAT RUINED THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM BAND AND DAMAGED THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE. THEY AGREED TO REPLACE THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR BAND AND ORDERED A REPLACEMENT TIRE FOR ME. JUST A WEEK AGO WITH THE 13,000 MILES ON THE CAR I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM GOING OFF AND I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED THE VALVE STEMS AND FOUND ANOTHER VALVE STEM THAT WAS CRACKED APART. I WENT BACK TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUESTION WHY IT WAS THE LEFT REAR TIRE AGAIN AS I REPLIED THAT I HAD MY TIRES ROTATED AND THEN THEY ASKED IF I HAD "CURBED" THE CAR OR TIRES. I LAUGHED AND COMMENTED ON THE LACK OF SCUFF MARKS ON THE TIRES. ONCE AGAIN THEY RELENTED AND REPLACED THE FAULTY VALVE STEM AT NO CHARGE. I AM BEGINNING TO FEEL UNSAFE IN MY OWN VEHICLE AND RECALL THE ISSUES THAT FORD HAD PREVIOUSLY WITH TIRES AND ACCIDENTS. I DO LIVE IN THE MIDWEST WHERE THERE IS A REGULAR OCCURRENCE OF SNOW AND ICE AND I WOULD IMAGINE GETTING A FLAT GOING 55 ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY IN THE WINTER WOULD BE DEVASTATING. *TR

Summary

APPROX. THE 10TH OF JUNE, 2 WEEKS BEFORE MY FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF HAVING PURCHASED MY 2007 FORD SHELBY GT-500 COBRA, I BEGAN NOTICING SOME SLIPPAGE IN THE TRANSMISSION DURING ACCELERATION FOR PASSING, ETC. I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO IT TO BEGIN WITH, BUT THE SLIPPING STEADILY WORSENED. I ONLY WORK 3 MILES FROM HOME, SO MY OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPERIENCE THE REVVING AND THEN SLIPPAGE DIDN'T COME UP AS OFTEN AS ONE MAY PERCEIVE. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ABOUT JUNE 23RD, AT WHICH TIME THEY CHECKED THINGS OUT AND CALLED ME BACK A FEW HOURS LATER. THE FIRST CALL FROM THE SERVICE REP. TOLD ME THAT THE "CLUTCH WAS ALMOST TOTALLY WORN-OUT, AND MUST BE REPLACED." HE SAID HE ALSO NEEDED TO CHECK ON THE TRANSMISSION/FLYWHEEL ASSEMBLY AND GET BACK TO ME SHORTLY. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER HIS SECOND "CALL OF DOOM" TOLD ME THAT THE FLYWHEEL AND TRANS. WOULD ALSO NEED REPLACING. I DIDN'T WORRY A WHOLE LOT, NOT UNTIL I CHECKED MY "PURCHASE DATE" AND DISCOVERED THAT MY TOP OF THE LINE, A-1, CAR OF THE YEAR HAD ELAPSED THE 12 MONTH MARK ABOUT ONE WEEK PRIOR TO THIS DISCOVERY! AT THIS TIME, MY TOP OF THE LINE SHELBY COBRA HAD EXACTLY 10,345 MILES ON IT!! I SPOKE WITH THE MGR. AND ASKED FOR A "WAIVER" SINCE THE PROBLEMS HAD ACTUALLY STARTED PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE 12/12,000 WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT...IN THIS CASE...THAT "WAIVER" OR "FREE PASS" ON MY HAVING GONE 6.5 DAYS PAST THE WARRANTY EXP. WOULDN'T MEAN ANYTHING ANYWAY! WHY? WELL, IT SEEMS, THE FLYWHEEL, TRANSMISSION, AND CLUTCH ALL FALL UNDER THE BROAD AND ALL ENCOMPASSING TERM OF "NORMAL WEAR AND USAGE", KIND OF LIKE TIRES, WIPER BLADES, ETC. MY QUESTION WAS (AND STILL IS) "PLEASE TELL ME WHY FORD'S TOP-OF-THE-LINE, CAR OF THE YEAR, ETC. HAS A FLYWHEEL/TRANS./CLUTCH ASSEMBLY THAT DOESN'T EVEN LAST ONE CALENDAR YEAR?" NOBODY HAS YET TO ANSWER THAT QUERY .BUT GUESS WHO HAD TO SHELL OUT $2850 IN REPAIR FEES?? ME!

SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR ABOUT 3 TO 4 MONTHS AGO, I HAVE HAD MY CAR INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES, TO HAVE THE ENGINE LIGHT CHECKED. IT CAME ON THE 1ST TIME THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT IT, AND HAS COME ON 3 TIMES SINCE AT RANDOM TIMES. THE FORD SERVICE DEPT. HAS PUT IT THROUGH THE MACHINES THEY HAVE, AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE "VERY SMALL EVAPORATVE LEAK" THEY SAY IT HAS, THEY HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND ALL THEY CAN SAY IS THE SYSTEM IS TOO SENSITIVE FOR SOME REASON AND UNTIL THEY CAN FIND A FIX FOR IT, IF THEY CAN I WILL JUST HAVE TO KEEP BRINGING IT IN EVERY TIME IT COMES ON AND HAVE THEM RUN IT THROUGH THE MACHINE AND TURN THE LIGHT OFF. *TR

MY SON WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON JULY 20, 2008 IN OUR 2007 MUSTANG, THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELT DIDN'T PROPERLY RESTRAINT HIM. HE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL, CAUSING HIM TO NEARLY KILL HIM. HE RECEIVED A HEAD LACERATION ON HIS SCALP HIS SKULL AND TISSUE WERE SHOWING HAVING TO BE REATTACH HIS SCALP WITH OVER 80 STAPLES. HE NOW SUFFERS WITH HEADACHES AND THE DOCTORS TOLD HIM HE HAS TO BE CAREFULLY WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR FOR FEAR OF REOPENING THE SCALP INCISIONS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A PRODUCT LIABILITY, YOU THINK AIRBAGS ARE GOING TO PREVENT YOU FROM AN ACCIDENT LIKE THIS AND IT FAILS. FORD MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND PREVENT FROM SOMEONE GETTING KILLED. *TR

Summary

I READ AN ARTICLE IN THE SEPTEMBER 2008 CONSUMERS REPORTS MAGAZINE WHICH DESCRIBED A RECALL FOR MANUFACTURER : TECH INTERNATIONAL, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 08T018000 , FOR DEFECTIVE TIRE VALVES. I HAD A PROBLEM WITH A DEFECTIVE TIRE VALVE RECENTLY ON MY 2007 FORD MUSTANG, AND NOW WONDER IF FORD ISN'T USING THIS SAME MANUFACTURER OF TIRE VALVES IN THEIR NEW CARS. MORE DETAILS OF MY INCIDENT FOLLOW... 1) I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX. 55 MPH ON TWO LANE ROAD ON A HOT (90+) SUMMER DAY (6/8/08). THE LOW PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, AND I PULLED OVER ASAP TO INVESTIGATE. 2) THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE WAS LOW. I PUMPED AIR INTO THE TIRE, AND NOTICED THE VALVE STEM WAS CRACKED AT THE BASE WHERE IT INSTALLS IN THE ALLOY RIM. IT WOULD NOT HOLD PRESSURE, SO I INSTALLED THE SPARE, AND DROVE TO A NEARBY SEARS TO REPAIR THE VALVE STEM. 3) I PAID $26 FOR A "FLAT REPAIR" - BASICALLY THEY REPLACED THE TIRE VALVE. I DO NOT HAVE THE OLD PART. THE GOOD NEWS IS THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR TECHNOLOGY SAVED ME FROM HAVING A HIGH SPEED FLAT. I EXPECTED TO FIND A NAIL IN MY TIRE, NOT A FAULTY VALVE STEM. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AT THIS TIME. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW FROM FORD IN APRIL 2007. IT IS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG V6, 4.0L SOHC, WITH APPROX. 10K MILES. THE TIRES ARE PIRELLI PZERO NERO P235/ MOUNTED ON ALLOY WHEELS. *TR

Summary

I HAVE A NEW FORD MUSTANG 6 CYL. (2007) . THE GAS PEDAL HESITATES TO "CATCH", AND THEN LURCHES THE CAR FORWARD. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MARCH 2007 (NEW) I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER, WHO HAD IT CHECKED OUT. THEY SAID IT WAS "NORMAL" FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, AND I "WOULD GET USED TO IT". I HAVE DRIVEN IT FOR A YEAR IN THE SAN FRANCISCO AREA. IT LURCHES FORWARD WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM STOP SIGNS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS, ETC. IT IS A BIG NUISANCE, BUT I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS THAT SERIOUS UNTIL I WAS DRIVING IN THE TRINITY ALPS MOUNTAIN AREA OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. ON TWISTY MOUNTAIN ROADS THE HESITATION AND LURCHING IN THE GAS PEDAL ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GO OVER THE SIDE OF A 3000 FT MOUNTAIN ROAD! IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO KEEP CONTROL OF THIS CAR ON WINDING MOUNTAIN ROADS, AND IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS CAR ON SUCH ROADS. I JUST BROUGHT IT BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY AGAIN SAID IT WAS A "NORMAL" SITUATION FOR THIS MODEL OF CAR, AND REFUSED TO GET IT FIXED. THERE IS APPARENTLY NO WAY TO ADJUST THE THROTTLE CONTROL, UNLIKE IN OLDER CARS WITH A THROTTLE CABLE (THIS HAS A COMPUTER-TYPE CHIP). THIS MUST BE FIXED OR SOMEONE WILL EVENTUALLY GET KILLED! *TR

Summary

THE CAR IS A 2007 MUSTANG WITH 4.0L V6 AND 5R55S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE CAR MAKES A WHINING SOUND WHEN ACCELERATING IN 1ST GEAR, AND A LESSER NOISE IN 2ND. IT SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I CHECKED WITH SEVERAL MUSTANG OWNERS WHO TOLD ME THAT THEIR CARS NORMALLY DON'T MAKE THAT KIND OF NOISE. FORD SERVICE CHECKED THE CAR AND CONTACTED THE FACTORY AND CONCLUDED THAT THE NOISE IS FROM THE PLANETARY GEARS AND THAT IT'S NORMAL. THEY DID NO CORRECTIVE WORK. AFTERWARDS, I FOUND THAT AN EARLIER VERSION OF THE TRANSMISSION, 5R55E HAD PROBLEMS WITH PLANETARY GEARS WHICH WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY - TSB# 02-22-2. ALSO, I FOUND 2 OR 3 PEOPLE SAID THAT THEIR MUSTANG TRANSMISSIONS MADE WHINING NOISES DUE TO INTERNAL PARTS RUBBING ON THE TRANSMISSION CASE. IN ONE CASE, THE NOISE WENT AWAY ON THE CAR AFTER THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING WAS CHANGED. IN ANOTHER CASE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. ONE PERSON DESCRIBES A SIMILAR PROBLEM IN ODI ID NUMBER : 10209790. *TR

Summary

2007 FORD MUSTANG GT HAS INTERMITTENT BRAKING PROBLEMS, IT PULLED HARD RIGHT/LEFT. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TWICE, THE FIRST TIME THEY FELT IT AND CUT THE ROTORS. THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, WHO DETERMINED THIS CAR SHOULD GO TO ENGINEERING ,AND PROBABLY SHOULD BE BOUGHT BACK. AT THE TIME THE SERVICE MANAGER DROVE IT THE VEHICLE WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MOST RECENT ON 06/15/07, AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO CONTACT ME, NOTHING DONE AS OF YET. I AM STILL DRIVING THIS CAR AND IT IS NOT SAFE. I HAD NO CHOICE, IT WAS MY EVERYDAY VEHICLE. I TOLD FORD THEY SHOULD GET ME A CAR TO DRIVE, BUT NO RESPONSE. *AK

Summary

I HAD FILED A COMPLAINT A FEW WEEKS AGO ( ODI# 10192797) ABOUT THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILURE ON MY 2007 MUSTANG GT WHICH HAD 270 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE PUMP UNDER THE WARRANTY AND I HAD MENTIONED A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT END ALSO. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TO MY DISMAY, WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE MY FRONT STRUTS, THEY EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF MY ALIGNMENT ISSUE. THEY FURTHER EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THEY THINK THAT WHILE MY CAR WAS BEING TRANSPORTED VIA TRAIN, THAT THEY TIED THE CAR DOWN TOO TIGHTLY CAUSING STRESS ON THE STRUTS AND CASTERS CAUSING THE ALIGNMENT AND STEERING WHEEL ISSUES. THE WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND ALTHOUGH THE ALIGNMENT ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BACK IN ITS NORMAL POSITION I HAVE NOTICED A THUMPING NOISE FROM THE RIGHT FRONT WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS, ALMOST LIKE A BAD STRUT MOUNT OR SOMETHING. IN ALL FAIRNESS TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO IS FIXING MY CAR, THEY HAVE BEEN EXCELLENT WITH ME AND THIS HAS ALL BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY . MY CAR NOW HAS 1,700 MILES ON IT AND AM WORRIED I MAY HAVE TO SWAP IT OUT FOR ANOTHER WHICH I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO DO AT THIS POINT, IT TOOK A LOT OF RESEARCH TO MIX AND MATCH ALL THE COLORS AND THE OPTIONS THAT MY CAR HAS. *TR

Summary

I PURCHASED A 2007 FORD GT V-8 AUTOMATIC MUSTANG ON 10/10/06. ONE WEEK AFTER THE PURCHASE, I WAS DRIVING, AND MY THROTTLE GOT STUCK. I PULLED THE E BRAKE AND THREW THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL. AFTER STOPPED THE CAR EVENTUALLY TURNED, I BELIEVE BECAUSE THE RPM'S WERE SO HIGH. ELEVEN DAYS LATER ON 10/29/06 I TOOK OFF AND THE GAS PEDAL STARTED TO TAKE CONTROL AGAIN, YET FAILED TO GO TO THE EXTREME AS THE FIRST TIME. ON 11/07/06 APPROX 6:45 PM, I WAS DRIVING, GOING ABOUT 55 MPH. IT WAS ALREADY DARK OUTSIDE & ROADS WET. AFTER BEING SET ON A SPEED OF 50-55 MPH, I HIT THE GAS PEDAL TO GET UP TO AROUND 60 MPH. ONCE I DID, I COULD FEEL THE GAS PEDAL GO DOWN ON IT'S OWN. INSTINCT REACTION WAS TO HIT THE BRAKES, BUT WHEN I DID THE CAR STARTED SLIDING DUE TO THE WET ROAD. WHILE THE RPM'S WERE GOING UP, I THREW THE SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND PULLED THE E BRAKE. ONCE I FINALLY STOPPED, THE RPM'S WERE STILL EXTREME, AND THEN THE CAR FINALLY CUT OFF ON IT'S OWN. I LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT EVENING. THE FOLLOWING AFTERNOON ON 11/08/06, THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE CAR WAS READY, SO I ASKED WHAT THEY HAD DETERMINED. HE STATED THAT THE FLOOR MAT WAS THE ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME, I DID NOT HAVE THE WEATHER MAT WHICH IS 5 CM THICK. IN ADDITION, HOW CAN A FLOOR MAT, MAKE A PEDAL ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN? I COULD ACTUALLY FEEL THE GAS PEDAL GOING DOWN AS IF CRUISE CONTROL WAS JUST TURNED ON. THE DEALERSHIP ASKED IF HE COULD DRIVE MY CAR HOME TO HIS HOUSE TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE WAS GOING TO PUT A FLIGHT DETECTOR ON THE CAR. I SPOKE WITH HIM ON 11/09/06; HE STATED THAT THE THROTTLE GOT STUCK ON HIM. HE STATED AGAIN THAT IT WAS A FLOOR MAT ISSUE. HE IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR ANOTHER DAY OR TWO, WITH OUT THE FLOOR MATS, TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A FLOOR MAT CAN CAUSE SUCH A FATAL INCIDENT. EITHER WAY, I HAVE A NEW CAR THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE MY DREAM CAR AND I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT! *NM
