WHEN I SHIFT FROM PARK OR NEUTRAL POSITION TO DRIVE, THE CAR SURGES FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVEWAY STATIONARY AND INTERMITTENTLY AT A STOPLIGHT. THE DATE BELOW THAT IS REQUIRED IS INCORRECT; IT HAS BEEN DOING IT SINCE I GOT THE CAR I BELIEVE IN FEB 2005, BUT I DIDN'T THINK OF IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE UNTIL IT WAS PASSED DOWN TO MY DAUGHTER THIS YEAR; FOR SOMEONE THAT ISN'T PREPARED, IT COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT

THIS 2005 MUSTANG WAS BOUGHT USED ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS WE NOTICED THE MESSENGER SIDE FLOOR WOULD BE WET WHEN IT RAINED. SOON AFTER THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE REPAIR. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE HEAT AND AIR CONTROL UNIT WENT OUT. THESE TWO REPAIRS COST OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX. ON OCTOBER 102015 WHILE AT THE DRIVE UP TELLER AT A BANK THE CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. TRIED SHUTTING IT OFF BUT WOULD NOT RESTART. SEEMED TO HAVE COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. NO LIGHTS GAUGES OR ANYTHING ELECTRICAL WOULD WORK. IT WAS RAINING. AFTER JUMPING THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT HOME. WE INSPECTED THE ECU AND FOUND GREEN AND WHITE CORROSION INDICATING WATER HAD BEEN GETTING INSIDE THE BOX. WHEN I CALLED FORD THEY TOOK A REPORT BUT SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS THERE WAS A RECALL. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED TSB 07-14-6

WHEN TRYING TO FILL THE GAS TANK FUEL BACKED OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AND WOULD NOT ENTER THE TANK. GAS SPILLED OUT ONTO THE GROUND.

FUEL GAUGE READING PAST EMPTY, WILL NOT SHOW ANY CHANGE IN FUEL LEVEL. OTHER GAUGES SHOWING SAME SIGNS OF FAILING. INTERNET HAS MANY COMPANIES THAT WILL FIX THE GAUGE CLUSTER, SO IT MUST BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MUSTANGS. ALSO THE LED DAYTIME LIGHTING ON THE DASHBOARD GAUGES IS VERY LOW NOT ABLE TO READ THE SPEEDOMETER OR OTHER GAUGES.

CORROSION ON LEADING AND TRAILING EDGES OF ALUMINUM HOOD.

I HAVE A VERY HARD TIME PUTTING GAS IN MY CAR . ALLOWS ME TO ONLY PUT A LITTLE AT A TIME. IT IS VERY FRUSTERATING. I SHOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM EVERY TIME I PUT GAS.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED . HAD ONLY 35,000 MILES ON IT 3 YRS AGO. A YEAR IN A HALF AGO I NOTICE ON FRONT END OF HOOD PAINT LOOKED BUBBLY. DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT, CAUSE IT WAS A VERY SMALL AREA. NOW IT IS GETTING WORSE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS RUST. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

MY TACHOMETER FAIL A FEW YEARS AGO. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, HE SAID ALL MUSTANG GAUGES FAIL AND TO BE HAPPY IT WASN'T THE SPEEDOMETER. SLOWLY OVER TIME ALL THE ELECTRICAL HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS. SOMETIMES THE CAR WON'T START, ALL THE GAUGES STOP WORKING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF FOR NO REASON. ALSO THE DRIVER SEAT ELECTRICAL FAILED, WAS REPLACED AND FAILED AGAIN. I COULDN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED.

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LOCATED INSIDE THE VEHICLE STOPPED READING PROPERLY. AT FIRST I WAS NOT ABLE TO READ MY RPM'S GAUGE AS IT WAS SHOWING I WAS IDLING AT 3,000 WHICH WAS INCORRECT AS I CAN HEAR MY ENGINE. THEN MY OIL GAUGE BEGAN READING PAST FULL. BOTH OF THOSE ISSUES FIXED THEMSELVES (UNSURE OF HOW OR WHY) AND THEN MY SPEEDOMETER GAUGE WENT BAD. NOW THE NEEDLE IS POINTING STRAIGHT DOWN REGARDLESS OF HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM GOING. THIS IS A DANGER TO MYSELF ON THE ROAD AS I CANNOT GAUGE MY SPEED. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT OTHERS WITH THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR OF MY CAR ARE EXPERIENCING AND SHOULD BE FIXED WITH A RECALL.

FACTORY CONTAMINATION ON HOOD.CAUSING THE PAINT TO BUBBLE DUE TO HOOD CORROSION.

DASH CLUSTER STOPS WORKING NO FUEL, TEMP, NO SPEED. SOMETIMES EVERYTHING STOPS WORKING. IF I RESTART CAR IT SEEMS TO RESET ITS SELF. WHEN TRYING TO FILL UP GAS TANK IT WON'T ALLOW FUEL TO GO IN SHUTS PUMP OFF SPLASHES OUT, FOUND THAT IF I HOLD FUEL NOZZLE UPSIDE DOWN I CAN GET SOME GAS IN BUT TAKES ABOUT 10-15 MINS TO FILL TANK. THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR EVERY WEEK. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOTICE YET OF RECALL FOR AIRBAG. FORD SHOULD RECALL GAS TANK PROBLEM AND DASH CLUSTERS SEEMS LIKE 2005 YEARS HAVE ISSUES!

SPEEDOMETER NOT FUNCTIONING. WHILE DRIVING 30MPH WILL REGISTER AS 50MPH OR WHILE DRIVING 60PMH WILL REGISTER AS 120MPH. EMISSIONS TROUBLE LIGHT WILL PERIODICALLY GO ON. *TR

THE DAY AFTER GETTING MY OIL CHANGED (WHICH HAS BEEN DONE ROUTINELY THROUGH OUT THE LIFE OF MY CAR) ON MY WAY TO WORK THE FOLLOWING MORNING MY CAR BEGAN TO SLIP ERRATICALLY OUT OF GEAR, IT DROPPED INTO NEUTRAL WHEN GOING FROM A COMPLETE STOP (I NARROWLY AVOIDED GETTING HIT TURNING LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC) AND THEN SLIPPED INTO REVERSE AT A STOP LIGHT, WHICH I DID NOT DISCOVER UNTIL I HIT THE GAS AND NEARLY SLAMMED INTO THE CAR BEHIND ME AT THE LIGHT. WHEN I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP I HAD THE CAR INVESTIGATED BY A THIRD PARTY TO ENSURE THAT JIFFY LUBE WAS NOT AT FAULT FOR THE DAMAGE DONE TO MY TRANSMISSION WHEN THEY CHANGED THE OIL IN THE CAR. THE REPORT CAME BACK STATING THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS EXPERIENCING CATASTROPHIC FAILURE DUE TO UNEVEN WEARING ON THE INSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION FROM THE SERVO BARS. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT IS IN MY CAR AND I WAS FORCED TO BUY A COMPLETELY NEW TRANSMISSION FOR $4600, OTHERWISE MY 10 YEAR OLD GENTLY DRIVEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF CAR WITH LESS THAN 65,000 MILES ON IT THAT IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WOULD HAVE BEEN BASICALLY SCRAP. THIS IS A DANGEROUS MECHANICAL FAILURE THAT IS FREQUENTLY OCCURRING AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE A FATALITY. *TR

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED AND EVERY TIME I GO TO FILL UP THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE IT SEEMS TO BE DIFICULT TO INSERT THE NOZZLE ALL THE WAY IN AND GASOLINE SPITS OUT. NO RECORD OF ACCIDENTS CLAIMS AND VISUAL INSPECTION DOESN'T SEEM TO SHOW ANY DAMAGE TO THE ASSEMBLY. NO UNUSUAL BENDS IN THE NECK OF THE RECEIVER WHERE YOU INSERT THE NOZZLE. *JS

FIRST THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING OR WOULD HANG UP, THEN THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND NOW ALL THE GAUGES HAVE STOPPED WORKING. *TR

NONE OF THE GAUGES WORK. I HAVE TO DRIVE PACING MYSELF WITH OTHER VEHICLES. ONLY THE ICON FOR GAS NEEDED COMES ON WHEN THE GAS IS LOW. STARTING AFTER ABOUT 10,000 MILES ON THE CAR I HAVE HAD INCREASING PROBLEMS GETTING FUEL IN THE CAR. NOT JUST MYSELF, BUT ANYONE THAT TRIES TO FUEL THE CAR. I INITIALLY STARTED HOLDING THE FUEL NOZZLE UPSIDE DOWN TO GET GAS AND THAT WORKED FOR A FEW YEARS. (ALTHOUGH YOU LOOK LIKE A DUMB ASS THAT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO PUT GAS IN A CAR!) THIS LAST YEAR IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT I AM LUCKY TO GET 2 GALLONS IN IT, AND THAT IS WITH IT REPEATEDLY SHUTTING OFF. SINCE DAY ONE THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL MAKES A GRINDING/CLUNKING NOISE WHEN I TURN THE TIRE IN EITHER DIRECTION. IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE THE WHEEL WILL FALL OFF. MY CARS BODY ASSEMBLY IS ALSO CRAP. THE FRONT LOWER GRILL HAS POPPED OFF AND DISAPPEARED. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL, AT LEAST 10 OTHER MUSTANGS OF THIS YEAR MISSING THE SAME PART. THE PLASTIC, YES PLASTIC!, SCREWS POP OUT. THE PLACES WHERE THE INSIDE SEAMS OF THE CAR ARE SUPPOSED TO CONNECT ARE DETACHED. THE LIGHT ENCLOSURE IN THE TRUNK WILL NOT STAY ATTACHED. THE SEAT HANDLES FALL OFF. I ONLY HAVE 50,000 MILES ON THIS CAR. REPAIR SHOPS TELL ME TO WAIT FOR A RECALL, WHEN IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN? *TR

GAS PEDAL STUCK GOING DOWN HILL RESULTING IN AUTO RUNNING OFF ROAD AND OVER A CLIFF. THE DRIVER IS ON LIFE SUPPORT, THE PASSENGER PARALYZED WITH A BROKEN BACK. THE PEDAL STUCK ONE TIME BEFORE AND IT WAS NOT THOUGHT TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM. AS A RESULT OF THE SERIOUS INJURIES, I AM FILING FOR THEM. *TR

THE GAS PEDAL STICK CAUSE BYE THROTTLE BODY COULD NOT STOP THE CAR.JUST ABOUT HIT A CAR WHEN I WAS DRIVING ..... *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER WERE NOT WORKING AT ALL. I READ IN VERY FORUM THAT 2005 MODELS WITH VERY SAME ISSUE. THINK FORD SHOULD RECALL THE CLUSTER. I READ THIS IN OTHER COMPLAIN AND MY OPINION IS THE SAME. "PLEASE RECALL THE GAUGE CLUSTER IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO FOR A BIG NAME COMPANY LIKE FORD. ORIGINAL OWNER". *TR

SINCE ABOUT A YEAR AGO, NOVEMBER 2013, THIS VEHICLE HAS SHOWN MULTIPLE ISSUES. TO START, IT IS AN AUTOMATIC 05 MUSTANG WHICH, THE MORE I READ ONLINE, THE MORE THAT I SEEM TO FIND THAT MANY HAVE THESE EXACT SAME OR VERY SIMILAR ISSUES. INITIALLY THE DASH CLUSTER (EVERYTHING BESIDES THE TACHOMETER) WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD GET STUCK AT 20 MPH BUT STILL MOVE ACTING AS THOUGH THE 20 MPH WAS THE 0 MPH MARK (SO 35 MPH = 15 MPH). MORE RECENTLY THE GAS GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING, IT SITS AT EMPTY EVEN AFTER PLENTY OF GAS HAS BEEN PUT INTO IT. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ALSO GETS STUCK OFTEN, STILL MOVING AS THE SPEEDOMETER DOES. NOT TOO LONG AFTER THESE ISSUES STARTED OCCURRING, WHEN I WENT TO FILL UP THE GAS TANK IT WOULDN'T TAKE THE GAS AS IT NORMALLY WOULD. SOMETIMES ONLY A COUPLE DOLLARS WORTH WOULD BE IN BEFORE IT CLICKED OFF. AFTER PAYING CLOSER ATTENTION I HAVE ALSO NOTICED SOMETIMES GAS ACTUALLY SPLASHES OUT WHEN FILLING IT UP EVEN THOUGH IT IS DEFINITELY NOT FULL. MUCH MORE RECENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS WORRYING ISSUES. AT ONE POINT WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED TO DECELERATE ON ITS OWN, EVEN WHILE I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. I PULLED IT OFF TO THE SIDE, SHUT IT OFF COMPLETELY, STARTED IT UP AND IT WAS AS THOUGH NOTHING HAPPENED. EVER SINCE THAT INCIDENT THOUGH IT HAS BEEN RUNNING A BIT LOUDER AND NOW IT SEEMS A POSSIBLE MISFIRE IS HAPPENING WITH ONE OF THE CYLINDERS OCCASIONALLY. THE VEHICLE HAS A DELAYED AND VERY H

THEY GET STUCK ESPECIALLY IN COOLER WEATHER. THE TACH IS NOW STUCK HANGING IN THE DOWN POSITION. THE ODOMETER CAN GO ANYWHERE FROM 20 TO 40 MPH FASTER THAN I AM GOING. WHEN STOPPED IT WILL BE IN THAT POSITION. *TR

SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER NEEDLE DOES NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT MOVE HALF THE TIME FROM RESTING POSITION AND THE TACHOMETER WILL ROTATE ALL THE WAY AROUND AND STAY WHERE IT IS WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THE BATTERY, OIL, AND TEMP NEEDLES DO NOT MOVE FROM OFF POSITION HALF THE TIME. TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY AND SHIFTS HARDER GOING FROM SECOND TO THIRD. *TR

ENTIRE GAUGE CLUSTER IS NOW INOPERABLE. FIRST THING TO STOP WORKING WAS FUEL GAUGE, NEEDLE STUCK AROUND 1/8TH TANK. LOW FUEL LAMP INDICATOR STILL WORKS AND IS ONLY WAY TO KNOW WHEN LOW ON FUEL. AROUND SAME TIME SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE STARTED STICKING AT RANDOM POINTS, MORE NOTICEABLE AS WEATHER GOT COOLER. WOULD GO UP WITH ACCELERATION BUT NOT ALL THE WAY BACK DOWN WHEN BRAKING. NEEDLE IS NOW STUCK ALL THE WAY CW ON TRIP RESET BUTTON. ODOMETER STILL WORKS CORRECTLY. THEN SAME WITH TACHOMETER A FEW MONTHS LATER. FINALLY QUIT LOOKING AT GAUGE CLUSTER WHILE DRIVING, NOT REALLY SURE WHEN COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE GOT STUCK AND QUIT WORKING. HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE NEXT YEAR MODEL, BUT STILL REFUSE ANY SENSIBLE SOLUTION FOR AFFECTED VEHICLES IN 2005. TO HAVE ISSUE FIXED BY FORD: $660 FOR NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER + LABOR. *TR
