I HAVE A 2007 FORD MUSTANG WITH 8101.9 MILES. I ONLY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DURING WARM SEASONS. I NOTICE THIS SPRING THAT MY REAR WIDOWS IS PULLING AWAY FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP.I CALLED A WINDOW REPAIR SHOP FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A SIMPLE REPAIR AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE TOP WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE TOLD ME THAT DUE TO THE CONVERTIBLE TOP SHRINK OVER TIME THAT THE WINDOW PULLS AWAY FROM THE WINDOW. THEY STATED THAT FORDS HAS CORRECT THIS PROBLEM WITH NEAR MODELS THEN MINE TO STOP THIS ISSUE. HE TOLD ME TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE ON MY CAR IT WOULD COST $2000.00. I FIND THAT NOT FAIR THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOE THIS ISSUE SINCE ITS A DEFECT IN THE CONVERTIBLE TOP AND NOT MY FAULT. THIS ISSUE HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PRODUCT AND NOT MINE. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. SO BY THIS ISSUE DEALS WITH THE REAR WINDOW AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I AM REPORTING THIS DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. MY CAR WAS IN STORAGE AWAY FROM THE ELEMENTS AND THE TOP SHRUNK IN SIZE AND CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. *TR

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.

FORD OEM PART NO.: 8R3Z-7210-C - SHIFTER ASSEMBLY AUTOMATIC CONSOLE SHIFTIER BLIND MAY BIND UP IN THE TRACK OR BREAK COMPLETELY LIKE MINE DID. THIS CAN CAUSE DIFFICULTY IN THE SHIFTER GOING IN TO GEARS OR PARK, OR SHOW PROPER P R N D 3 2 1 SELECTION ON SELECTOR. A BROKEN BLIND CAN ALLOW THINGS TO FALL DOWN INTO THE GEAR SECTOR, THAT COULD CAUSE GEAR SELECTION OR PARK NOT TO WORK PROPERLY. STATIONARY OR MOVING I DON'T SEE HOW THIS IS A THIS IS A UNSAFE CONDITION OF THE PART. THE WHOLE PART HAS TO BE REPLACED AT $283 + LABOR UNKNOWN AS THEY DO NOT SELL REPLACEMENT REBUILD PARTS TO FIX THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTER. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=XERUTMNRWIG HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=EN5IJPMHWLK KEEP IN MIND PEOPLE TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEMSELVES GENERALLY LEAVE THEMSELF WITH NO GEAR SECTION INDICATOR BECAUSE FORD DOES NOT SELL PARTS FOR REBUILD, ONLY TO REPLACE THE WHOLE THING.

PURCHASE 2007 MUSTANG NEW AND IMMEDIATELY BEGAN HAVING LOW TIRES EVERY OTHER DAY, DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL, NEVER DID ANYTHING. HAD TO RE-INFLATED TIRES AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK. FELT ROUGH HANDLING AND DEALER SAID WAS NORMAL BECAUSE CAR IS A SPORTS CAR. JANUARY 2013 ALL 4 PIRELLI P6 TIRES SIMULTANEOUSLY SPLIT, TORE, AND SIDEWALLS DEVELOPED INSTANTANEOUS RIPS AND ALL TIRES WENT FLAT WITHIN SECONDS CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR, HIT MY HEAD BEFORE REGAINING CONTROL AND STOPPING CAR. VEHICLE HAD TO BE FLATBED TOWED FIRST HOME AND THEN TO A TIRE DEALER AFTER MY DEALER WOULDN'T HELP ME, FORD MOTOR WOULDN'T HELP ME, PIRELLI TIRE WOULDN'T HELP. I HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 SUPER EXPENSIVE TIRES PLUS THE ADDITIONAL FLATBED TOW, INSTALLATION AND BALANCING AND THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FORD AND PIRELLI KNEW ABOUT SINCE 1993 BUT INTENTIONAL KEPT INSTALLING THE DEFECTIVE PIRELLI P6 TIRES.

THE PRESIDENT OF PIRELLI TIRE COMPANY, PRESIDENT OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY,AND FORD MOTOR CREDIT AS WELL AS MY CAR DEALER ALL BLATANTLY IGNORED ME AND REFUSED TO HELP ME WITH THE DEFECTIVE TIRES THEY KNEW ABOUT ALL ALONG. FOURTEEN YEARS BEFORE MY DEALER SOLD ME MY MUSTANG THEY KNEW ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE PIRELLI P6 TIRES AND THEIR DESTINED ULTIMATE FAILURE YET STILL INTENTIONALLY SOLD THE MUSTANG TO ME WITH THE DEFECTIVE TIRES RECKLESSLY ENDANGERING MY LIFE TO SAVE MONEY FOR THEMSELVES, HOW SAD.

MY LEFT REAR TIRE LOST AIR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO PUT KEEP AIR IN THE TIRE I REALIZED IT WAS THE VALVE STEM. I PUT AIR IN, WOULD HOLD AIR WHEN STOPPED AND AT HIGHWAY SPEED WOULD GO FLAT AGAIN. I CHANGED THAT VALVE STEM, FOUR DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE LEFT FRONT. THIS TIME I CHECKED THE OTHERS, IN THE END, ALL FOUR VALVE STEMS WERE CRACKED AND TWO FAILED ALLOWING THE TIRE TO LOSE ALL AIR AND GO FLAT. I HAVE GOODYEAR F1 SUPERCAR TIRES AND 15,800 MILES ON THE CAR. THE VALVE STEM IS THE TI 414. *TR

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. I CAN PROVIDE IF CONTACTED.) *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
14 complaints
CAN'T FILL THE GAS TANK AS IT CAN'T BE PUMPED ON PULLING THE GAS NOZZLE ALL THE WAY. I HAVE TO PULL THE NOZZLE ONE PULL AT A TIME TO GET GAS IN AND GAS SPLASHING BACK ON ME AND CAR. I HAVE WASTED A LOT OF GASOLINE DOING THIS AND A LOT OF TIME TH GET IT TO A 1/2 A TANK IF I'M LUCKY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OR DEALER FIX. *TR
Jul 11, 2014
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
Jan 14, 2014
2007 FORD MUSTANG WILL NOT FILL UP PAST 1/2 TANK OF FUEL, THE DEALER STATES THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND TO TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT STATION. I'VE BEEN TO STATIONS ALL OVER THE WEST AND RARELY FIND ONE THAT WILL LET ME FILL UP EVEN WHEN RUNNING THE PUMP AT MINIMUM WHILE NOT FULLY ENGAGING THE PUMP INTO THE FILLER. I'VE NOTICED THAT NO PUMPS THAT HAVE VAPOR RECOVERY BOOTS WILL FILL THE CAR UP BEYOND 1/3 TANK. WHICH PRETTY MUCH RULES OUT TAKING THE CAR TO CALIFORNIA FOR ANY REASON. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A MAJOR DEFECT HERE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED! *TR
Dec 02, 2010
I OWN A 2007 MUSTANG AND EVERYTIME I FUEL UP, IT ONLY ALLOWED ME TO PUT 1/2 TO 2/4 TANK FULL AND THEY IS SHUTS OFF THE GAS PUMP. I HAVE TAKE THE CAR TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND TO ADVISED TO TRY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN DEC OF 2007. *TR
Dec 29, 2009
FUEL FILLING IS AWKWARD TO SAY THE LEAST! I CAN ONLY FILL TO JUST OVER HALF A TANK OF FUEL THEN THE CLICKER FORCES ME TO STOP. THE OWNERS WEBSITE CLAIM THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2007 MUSTANGS AND THAT WE SHOULD TRY ANOTHER GAS STATION WITH A LESS SENSITIVE FILLER OR TURN THE NOZZLE TO THE 2 O CLOCK POSITION. TURNING THE NOZZLE DOES WORK FROM TIME TO TIME BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. WHY AREN'T THE DEALERS ACKNOWLEDGING THIS IS A PROBLEM A PROVIDE A SUITABLE SOLUTION? THIS WON'T DO MUCH FOR MARKETING OR FUTURE SALES IF THIS IS LEFT! *TR

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 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. IN 6 YEARS IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE. *TR

Driving down the road (luckily 4 lanes with a turning lane in middle)...the car shuts off & I'm rolling. I roll to the middle lane, apply brakes. And I put in park & restart. This has happened NUMEROUS TIMES. It happens when I take off or sharp turn. It shouldn't do this.

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.

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

HORN STOPPED WORKING APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS BEFORE DIAGNOSIS. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED A WATER INTRUSION THAT DAMAGED THE MAIN WIRING LOOM AND SMART JUNCTION BOX. IT WAS DETERMINED THE WATER INTRUSION WAS A RESULT OF LOOSE GROMMETS AND/OR SEALER SKIPS AROUND THE COWL AREA, LOOSE A-PILLAR WINDOW WEATHER STRIPPING RETAINER, MISALIGNED BODY HARNESS GROMMET THROUGH THE FIREWALL OR MISALIGNED BODY HARNESS GROMMET FROM THE PASSENGER DOOR AS PER TSB 08 26 7 AND TSB 07-14-06. TOTAL COST FOR THE REPAIR WAS $3,839.44 JUST TO FIX A HORN. *TR

DAY AFTER A RAIN A RAIN STORM HEARD WATER DRIPPING THEN I WAS GOING UP A SMALL HILL AND I HEARD WATER POURING. I LOOKED OVER AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AND SAW WATER FLOWING IN BY THE GLOVE BOX. I PULLED OVER AND SAW ABOUT 3 INCHES OF WATER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. 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

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.

BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WENT TO THE FLOOR. HAD THE MUSTANG TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES OVER A THREE DAY PERIOD.

HE RELATED THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH 04 AND 07 MUSTANGS. ITS IN THE SHOP FOR MASTER CYLINDER REPLACEMENT. NEEDS A SAFETY BULLETIN ON THIS FROM FORD. *TR

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

I WAS DRIVING AROUND OUR LOCAL LAKE DOING 25 MPH. I HAD JUST COME AROUND A CURVE AND WAS HEADED FOR ANOTHER CURVE PRETTY QUICKLY. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED SPEEDING UP ON ITS OWN. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND I HIT THE BRAKES TO TRY TO SLOW DOWN AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR CONTINUED TO SPEED UP ON ITS OWN. MY SPEED GOT UP TO ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN I CAME UP ON A CURVE. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AGAIN AND TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL BUT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AT THIS POINT. IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND I MISSED THE CORNER AND LANDED IN A POND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LAKE IN ABOUT 3 1/2 FEET OF WATER. MY CAR WAS THEN SUBMERGED UP THE TOP OF THE TRUNK IN WATER.

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

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

EVERY TIME YOU GO TO PUT FUEL IN THE CAR, THE PUMP WILL KICK OFF LIKE THE FUEL TANK IS FULL BUT IT'S NOT. THEN THE WHOLE TIME YOU ARE TRYING TO PUMP GAS IT WILL KICK OFF PROBABLY 20 MORE TIMES UNTIL YOU ARE DONE. THIS IS BEEN ONGOING EVERY SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. WHAT SHOULD BE A FIVE MINUTE JOB TO FILL UP YOUR GAS TANK CAN TAKE AS MUCH AS 20 MINUTES. IHAD ANOTHER 2007 FORD MUSTANG THAT DID THE VERY SAME THING BUT I RAN OFF A LOW SHOULDER AND PART OF THE ESTIMATE WAS THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK AND IRONICALLY I NEVER HAD THAT ISSUE AGAIN ON THAT CAR. I OWNING 2 OF THIS SPECIFIC CARS BEING OF THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL, I FEEL IT'S DEFINITELY A DESIGN OR RECALL ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED

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. HOW MANY MUST DIE OR BE INJURED BEFORE SOMEONE FORCES A RECALL FOR REPAIRS ON THESE VEHICLES?

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.

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

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

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

ON THREE OCCASSIONS NOW, DECEMBER 29, 2007, JANUARY 19, 2008 AND JANUARY 20, 2008, THE PARKING BRAKE ON MY CAR SEEMS TO "FREEZE". I PUT THE PARKING BRAKE ON BECAUSE IT IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND WHEN RELEASING IT, IT DOES NOT. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR FURTHER THAN A FEW FEET. I CAN SMELL BURNING RUBBER AND FEEL THE DRAG ON THE REAR WHEELS. I CAN HEAR IT ALSO. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHEN THE TEMPERATURE HAS BEEN BELOW 32 DEGREES. *TR

INCIDENT VEHICLE IS A MUSTANG BASE CONVERTIBLE 2007 ORIGINALLY SOLD IN HAWAII AND SUBJECTED TO SALT AIR, WATER AND HUMIDITY. FRONT AND REAR SEAT BELT RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY FLOOR MOUNT TABS ARE SEVERELY RUSTED ON ALL SURFACES. THIS APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY SUBSTANDARD STEEL OR INFERIOR ANTI-CORROSION TREATMENT USED IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. THE INEVITABLE STRUCTURAL FAILURE OF THESE TABS OR THE ABRASION TO THE SEAT BELT CAUSED BY THE RUST CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD. THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES LOCATED NEARBY HAVE LITTLE TO NO CORROSION. THE FLOOR PAN IS NOT CORRODED, EVEN UNDER THE CORRODED TABS. *TR

I WAS FOLLOWING MY WIFE TO THE JEEP DODGE CHEROKEE DEALERSHIP TO GET HER RECALL TAKING CARE OF. ON THE WAY THERE AT THE OFF RAMP OF 575 AND RIVERSTONE PARKWAY I MADE A RIGHT TURN TO GET OFF ON THE RAMP TO EXIT AND I HEARD A LOUD THUD AND THE MOTOR ACCELERATED VERY LOUD AND ODD SOUNDING. 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.

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.

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

HARMONIC BALANCER/CRANKSHAFT PULLEY CAME APART ON A 2007 FORD MUSTANG V6 WHILE DRIVING. IT HAD LESS THAN 37000 MILES ON IT.

A complete failure of the electrical system due to a design flaw where a main electrical wire harness inside the firewall on the drivers side fills up with water over time and soaks the wire harness causing a complete failure of the car to operate. This leading to a breakdown in traffic and dangerous necessity to get out into traffic to escape electrical smoke.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING FOR QUITE AWHILE. I WAS RESEARCHING A LUNGE PROBLEM, DISCOVERED IT IS FREQUENTLY HAPPENING TO OTHERS. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM GOING A VERY SLOW SPEED. IT HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC MANY TIMES WHICH IS SCARY, IN MY HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS, WE HAVE SPEED BUMPS SO YOU MUST DRIVE SLOWLY AND MAKING TURNS. IT JUST IMMEDIATELY ALL SHUTS DOWN AND THE CAR STOPS. I ACTUALLY TRY TO AVOID TRAFFIC ON FREEWAY BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES. I HAVE DISCUSSED, IN THE PAST, THIS WITH MY MECHANIC VARIOUS TIMES AND MADE SURE EVERYTHING IN MY CAR IS FINE. I HAVE REPLACED EVERYTHING AND MY CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

IN TRAFFIC TRANSMISSION INTERMITTENTLY LOCKS YOU OUT OF 2ND GEAR. FORD WOULD NOT REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY THEIR TECH SAID REPAIR MIGHT NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND MIGHT MAKE THE PROBLEM EVEN WORSE. VEHICLE IS A BIT DANGEROUS AND UNNERVING TO DRIVE IN TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY HEAVY TRAFFIC. SUSPENSION BOUNCES VEHICLE UP AND DOWN HEAVILY ON THE INTERSTATE AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS.

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 PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY INTO A REST STOP AREA. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, AND ONLY ON THE BRAKE. I STOPPED IN A PARKING SPACE AND MOVED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LEVER FROM DRIVE TO PARK. THE RPM INSTANTLY INCREASED FROM APPROXIMATELY 600 RPM IN DRIVE TO APPROXIMATELY 6000 RPM IN PARK. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND GAVE THE GAS PEDAL A QUICK TAP. THE RPM RETURNED TO NORMAL, ABOUT 750 RPM IN PARK. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE CAR, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY CONTACTED FORD, WHO MAINTAINED THE INCIDENT COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED THE WAY I DESCRIBED IT. THEY FURTHER TOLD THE DEALERSHIP NOT TO PERFORM ANY REPAIRS UNLESS A SIMILAR INCIDENT RECURRED. THE DEALERSHIP THINKS THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE FLY BY WIRE, THROTTLE BODY AND/OR CONTROL OF THE FLOW SYSTEM. *TR THE CONSUMER HAD CONCERNS ABOUT BRAKE FLUID.

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. THE WATER DAMAGE HAS CAUSED ME TO PAY FOR NOT ONLY TWO WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTORS BUT IT IS ALSO CAUSING MOLD/MILDEW IN MY CAR INTERIOR. *TR

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.

SIMILAR TO THE 2010 FUSION PROBLEM OF STUCK ACCELERATOR, I HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 FORD MUSTANG GT. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED EVER SINCE I RECEIVED THE MATS IN JUNE OF 2007 AND HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES! THE ALL-WEATHER MAT IS SITTING ON TOP OF THE STANDARD MAT AND SLIPS FORWARD. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED FULLY, IT DOES GET STUCK UNDER THE ALL-WEATHER MAT. IN ONE INCIDENT, I WAS ON A FREEWAY GOING TO PASS A VEHICLE. WHEN I FLOORED THE ACCELERATOR, IT STUCK! 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 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

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.

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 .
