2006 Ford Mustang complaints

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

FORD WONT FIX MY RECALLED CAR.....IT'S BEEN MANY YEARS..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65, A DEER STRUCK THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BUMPER OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE INSURANCE LOT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V319000 (AIRB AGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

PCM MODULE/CRASH DATA REPORT SAYS THAT THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR WENT TO 100% WITH ACCELERATOR AT 60% AND THEN THE THROTTLE STAYED WIDE OPEN UNTIL ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS RELEASED TO APPROX 23% PERCENT. WHY IS THERE A 40% DIFFERENCE IN THE PCM DATA FROM ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION TO THE THROTTLE POSITION. AT THE TRIAL A GUY FROM FORD SAID THIS IS NORMAL AND THE THROTTLE IS DESIGNED THIS WAY. MY HUSBAND IS NOW ON HIS WAY TO PRISON. IS THIS TRUE AND CAN ANYONE HELP OR ADVISE US.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER FOR MY DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG AND I HAVE MADE SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND IM BEING TOLD TO BE PATENT AND WE WILL SEND YOU A LETTER WHEN THE WORK WILL BE DONE , ON THE WEB SITE FOR RECALLS IT SAYS THIS WAS FIRST RECALLED IN 2014,I FEEL THIS IS UN SAFE IF ITS BEEN THIS LONG BUT THE FORD DEALERSHIP SEEMS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE TIME, DON'T WANT TO WORK WITH ME OR THEY JUST DON'T CARE, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ?

IN CITY TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT, WENT TO STEP ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE STARTED EXTREME SHAKING & THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. SHUT OFF THE ENGINE & RESTARTED IT. THE WRENCH LIGHT & CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE & LOST ALL ACCELERATION. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AT RESTARTING, THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, ADVISED SERVICE REP OF CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03 & WAS INFORMED THAT FORD WILL NOT HONOR THE PROGRAM FOR 2006 MUSTANG.

CAR STARTED TO STALL WHILE IN MOTION, APPLIED GAS AND WAS OK. AT NEXT STOP LIGHT, THE CAR STALLED OUT. AFTER TRYING TO START A FEW TIMES WHICH IT DID BUT IMMEDIATELY STALLED OUT. AFTER SITTING A FEW MINUTES, IT STARTED OK AND WAS FINE. LEFT CAR AT DEALER FOR 1 WEEK, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ON 8/15/15, THE WRENCH CAME ON TWICE AND THEN THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT STAYED ON. THIS WAS AFTER A 215 MILLE DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE. RETURNED TO DEALER WHO NOW HAD COMPUTER CODES. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY NEEDED REPLACEMENT. PART LISTED ON BILL SAYS POTENTIOMETER FORD PART#6L2Z-9B989-D. THIS NOW EXPLAINS SUBTLE ACCELERATIONS THAT OCCURRED ON HIGHWAY WHEN IT WAS NOT ME APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL.

FORD MUSTANG IN 2006 NOTICED DAYS LATER HEAT COMING UP FROM THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. IT WAS EXTREME & I TOOK TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES IN THE FIRST 3 MONTHS, BUT FORD DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING WAS WRONG. I DON'T TAKE THE CAR OUT ON LONG TRIPS AS THE CAR HEATS UP TOO MUCH IN THE INTERIOR AND THE FLOOR BY MY FEET GETS TOO HOT FOR COMFORT. I HAVE ABOUT 25K MILES ON THE CAR AS I WILL ONLY TAKE IT ON SHORT LOCAL ROUTES. TWO YEARS AGO THE FUEL TANK STOPPED WORKING RIGHT. I BELIEVE IT IS THE VAPOR LOCK SYSTEM. I HAD AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE WITHIN 1 MONTH OF OWNING THE CAR. I REPLACED ABOUT 4 BATTERIES WITHIN 6 MONTHS & CONTACTED THE DEALER AT LEAST 6 TIMES. THEY THOUGHT TO REPLACE THE STEREO, BUT EVEN AFTER THAT WAS REPLACED I STILL HAD THE ISSUE. I WAS STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES BY A DEAD BATTERY. THE DEALER & CORP SAID THERE WAS NOT AN ISSUE - THAT I JUST WASN'T DRIVING THE CAR ENOUGH & SUGGESTED I GET A CHARGER. AFTER A NEW BATTERY, I'D DRIVER THE CAR EVERY DAY, BUT WITHIN A WEEK OUR TWO, I'D HAVE A DEAD BATTERY AGAIN. I ASKED CORP HOW MANY MILES MUST I BE REQUIRED TO DRIVE IN ORDER FOR MY CAR TO WORK & THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID SHE DIDN'T KNOW, BUT SHE KNEW IT HAD TO BE MORE THAN WHAT I WAS DRIVING. AFTER ABOUT 5 YEARS, I FOUND A FUSE "FIX" FOR THIS ISSUE (THANKS TO A AAA SERVICE PERSON WHO WAS REPLACING ANOTHER BATTERY) & NOW I AM ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR, BUT I STILL DON'T TRUST I WON'T BE STRANDED AGAIN. I STILL CAN'T TAKE IT MORE THAN 20 MILES WITHOUT THE HEAT ISSUE BEING A PROB

FRONT HOOD BUBBLING FROM CONTAMINATED WELDS AT FACTORY. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON AND DEVALUES THE CAR CONSIDERABLY.

MY SON-IN-LAW BOUGHT A USED MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE FOR HIS SON. I HAD THE CAR INSPECTED AND FLUIDS CHANGED AS SOON AS I COULD AND DURING THE TIME ON THE RACK, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE FRAME STIFFENERS ON BOTH SIDE SHOWED SEVERE RUST TO THE POINT ONE WAS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH. THE STIFFENER HAS AN OPENING IN THE FRONT THAT ACCUMULATES WATER, SALT AND ROAD SLOP OVER TIME, BUT NO METHOD TO LET THIS MEMBER FLUSH ITSELF OR BE CLEANED ON THE INSIDE. THE SHOP INSTALLED TWO NEW STIFFENERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THEY CLOSED THE FRONT OPENING ENTRANCE TO THE STIFFENER WITH A SEALANT AND GAVE THE BARE METAL EXTERIOR TWO COATS OF CORROSION RESISTANT PAINT. *TR

AROUND ONE MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY THE I WOULD ENCOUNTER SURGES WHEN STARTING TO GO AT LIGHTS OR PARKING THE CAR, COMING TO A STOP... NOW THE CAR IS STALLING SAME AS THE SURGES... I HAVE REPLACED MANY PARTS TRYING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. NOW IT HAS BECOME A SERIOUS HAZARD TO DRIVE AND COSTLY! *TR

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

I CAME TO A STOP, LOOKED TO MY LEFT. SAW NO CAR , AND PROCEEDED TO LEAVE TO MAKE A LEFT. CAR STRUCK ME ON THE LEFT FENDER. HEARD A LONG SOUND WITH WHITE SMOKE ALL IN THE CAR THAT CAME FROM AIR BAG, MY FACE WAS STRUCK SO HARD BY THE AIR BAG THAT IT MADE A LARGE BUMP ON FOREHEAD AND EYES BLACK IN BLUE SWOLLEN WITH A HEADACHE THAT I'VE HAD FOR SOME DAYS NOW. I'VE HAD TO MISS WORK ALL WEEK, IT ALSO MADE ME NECK N SIDE HURT. *TR

I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO ALERT THE NHTSA OF A AIR BAG SAFETY ISSUES IN MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG. RECENTLY A SAFETY DEFECT ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED ABOUT PARTICULAR MODELS OF VEHICLES THAT RECEIVED AIR BAGS FROM THE MANUFACTURER TAKATA. I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF DOING THE RESEARCH ON THE ISSUES OF WHICH THE AIR BAG WHEN DEPLOYED CAN SEND SHARDS OF METAL OR SHRAPNEL INTO THE UPPER REGION OF BOTH THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER. MY YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, AND TIME-FRAME OF VEHICLE PURCHASED MATCHED WITH THE VEHICLES IDENTIFIED AS BEING AFFECTED WITH ONE EXCEPTION, MY VEHICLE RESIDES IN A COLD WEATHER STATE. AS MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANT I CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY TO HAVE THE ISSUE REMEDIED TO BE RELAYED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN. PRIMARILY THE CLAIM THAT LIVING SOMEPLACE WITH COLD WEATHER SOMEHOW PROTECTS ME FROM EXPERIENCING THIS DEADLY ISSUE. TO NOTE. COLORADO IS A STATE THAT DOES IN FACT REACH TEMPERATURES BETWEEN THE MONTHS OF MAY-OCTOBER OF 100+ DEGREES ON A MULTIPLE DAY BASIS(PLEASE REVIEW WEATHER REPORTS). IN ADDITION DEPENDING ON WHERE IN COLORADO YOU ARE LOCATED THERE ARE AREAS OF HUMID + HOT WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT YOU CAN EXPERIENCE. I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO HAVE MY AIR BAG DISABLED BY FORD TO PROTECT MY WELL BEING UNTIL A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION IS COMPLETED, NOR HAS FORD REACHED OUT TO CONSUMERS TO IDENTIFY WHAT STEPS THEY ARE TAKING TO ENSURE THEIR SAFETY. MY WELL BEING IS NOT BEING PROTECTED AS IT SHOULD AND I WOULD LIKE S

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, WATER LEAKED INTO THE VEHICLE FROM BEHIND THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. ON ONE OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FAILED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY WOULD GET WET CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO FAIL TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. UPDATED 2/9/15*CN

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

PAINT IS BUBBLING AND CHIPPING ON TOP OF HOOD AND UNDERNEATH FROM POOR DESIGN. WATER HAS NO PLACE TO GO RESULTING IN CORROSION TO PAINT. *TR

FORD MUSTANG BATTERIES LIGHT IS COMING ON REPLACE WITH NEW AND CHECK ALTERNATOR IT GOOD BUT BATTERIES LIGHT STILL ON. I DID A SEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORT NUMEROUS TIME WITH NO HELP. SOMETHING IS CAUSE THE BATTERY TO BE DRAIN ON THE 2006 FORD MUSTANG AND IT NOT THE ALTERNATOR. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY HAVEN'T A INVESTIGATION HAS BE DONE TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. WE JUST BROUGHT THIS MUSTANG 11/13/2014 AND WE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT A LOT OF OTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUE. PLEASE I BEG SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE THE WORST HAPPEN AND A LIFE IS LOSE BECAUSE OF A CAR DIE WHILE BRING DRIVE BC OF LOST OF POWER BECAUSE OF. *TR

SOME YEARS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD CAUSE PULLING OF THE CAR. WHAT I MEAN BY THIS IS THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL FORWARD AS IF SOMEONE WERE TOWING IT FROM THE FRONT. THIS WOULD TAKE PLACE AFTER THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD BEEN USED MINUTES OR HOURS PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE BEING SHUT OFF. ONCE THE CAR WAS TURNED ON AGAIN, EVEN AN HOUR LATER, WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO MAINTAIN ITS SPEED (USUALLY 10 MPH OR 15 MPH) UNTIL THE BRAKE WAS PRESSED EVEN THOUGH THE CRUISE CONTROL WASN'T ACTIVATED. THIS WAS SUPPOSEDLY "FIXED" BY FORD THROUGH A $600 "REPAIR" OF THE "COMPUTER" THAT CONTROLS THE THROTTLE (I HAVE DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT THIS REPAIR). I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS SITE. SO NOW I AM REPORTING THE FOLLOWING TERRIFYING INCIDENT. THIS 2006 FORD MUSTANG, ABOUT 2 YEARS PRIOR, HAD ITS CRUISE CONTROL ON WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FROM 40 OR 50 MPH TO 60 TO 70 MPH. THE BRAKE SLOWED THE CAR BUT THE REVVING WAS OUT OF CONTROL. LUCKILY I WAS ON AN OPEN HIGHWAY AROUND 10PM BUT HAD TO DRIVE INTO A GAS STATION (LUCKILY NOTHING HAPPENED) AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AS THE ENGINE REVVED HITTING THE UPPER RPMS. I HAD TO SHUT OFF THE CAR WITH THE IGNITION (LEAVING IT IN THE PARK GEAR AND PRESSING THE BRAKE, MIND YOU!) AND WHEN TURNED ON THE CAR AGAIN (NOW IN PARK), THE CAR AGAIN, DANGEROUSLY REVVED. I THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO BLOW OUT. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AGAIN, PARKED STILL AT THE ENTRANCE OF THIS GAS STATION. I WAITED SOME MINUTES AND TURNED THE CAR ON AGAIN, SWEAT

THE PAINT ON THE FRONT LIP OF THE HOOD HAS BEEN BUBBLING UP AND THE DEALERSHIP (KEARNY MESA FORD, SUNROAD) SAID THAT THE PRIMER WAS NOT APPLIED CORRECTLY WHEN THE CAR WAS ASSEMBLED AT THE PLANT. THEREFORE, THE HOOD IS RUSTING THROUGH AND CONSIDERED A 'CANCER' TO THE CAR. *TR

FRONT END SUSPENSION IS FALLING A PART AND IT IS RARELY DRIVEN. IT IS DRIVEN TO WORK AND ON WEEKENDS. *TR

MY CAR IDLES UNCONTROLLABLE AND JERKS WHENEVER IT IS DRIVEN. IF I STOP OR DRIVE AT SLOW SPEEDS IT WILL JUST STOP RUNNING ON ITS OWN. I SIMPLY RESTART IT AND IT WILL GO, BUT IT WILL KEEP JERKING AND IDLING. *TR

2006 FORD MUSTANG. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL INDEPENDENTLY ENGAGED WITHOUT CONTACT, CAUSING AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION. EVEN AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, PARK OR APPLYING THE PARKING BRAKE, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV. ON TWO OCCASIONS, IT OCCURRED AT A STOP SIGN, WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP CAUSING HER TO DRIVE THROUGH THE STOP SIGN. THE CONSUMER ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE NOT RESPONDING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. HER DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. *JB

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

WAS DRIVING INTO A CONVENIENCE STORE PARKING LOT, CAR SUDDENLY STARTED TO ACCELERATE , IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES, DID NO GOOD, SLAMMED THE CAR INTO PARK. (RPM'S WERE REALLY RACING HIGH) VERY SCARY. WAS ONLY 10-15 FEET FROM GOING THROUGH THE STORE!!!!! WE HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS GOING BACK 5 YEARS. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE CAR AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICES. HELP! *TR

TL* THE CONTACTS OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. THE OWNER STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED, AND WHILE TRYING TO APPLY THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T STOP, AND IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE.

I HAVE A 2006 FORD MUSTANG AND I HAVE A RATTLE IN THE FRONT END AND NOT SURE IF JUST SOUNDS LIKE REAR ALSO ,, NOT SURE WHAT OR WHY BUT IT DOES THE NOISE EVEN IF YOU JUST GO OVER ANY SMALL BUMP , I CANT FIND WHAT IT IS , DO YOU OR HAVE YOU HAD THIS HAPPEN ON THESE CARS ? PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANY THING TO FIX IT , SOUNDS LIKE ITS FALLING APART. THANK YOU *TR

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

2006 FORD MUSTANG. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE BROKE DOWN AND COMPUTER RECALL ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED A NEW COMPUTER WAS NEEDED FOR THE VEHICLE, AND FORD HAD RECALLED IT DUE TO A KNOWN ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. AFTER 2 MONTHS OF NOT HAVING HER VEHICLE, THE PART WAS STILL ON BACK ORDER. FORD INFORMED THE CONSUMER, TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE PART NEEED WAS AN ECU, THE MAIN COMPUTER. *JB

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

MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT HAD ONLY 14,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I NOTICED WHILE HAND WASHING MY MUSTANG THE HOOD HAD BUBBLES IN THE PAINT. THE ALUMINUM HOOD WAS SHOWING SIGNS OF CORROSION. MY MUSTANG IS IN MINT CONDITION (OTHER THAN THE CORROSION OF THE HOOD). MY MUSTANG HAS LESS THAN 20K ORIGINAL MILES, LIVES IN THE GARAGE AT HOME AND AT WORK. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON THE CAR, AND HOLDING THE MUSTANG TO BE A CLASSIC; WITHOUT A CORRODED HOOD! I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND TOLD THEM MY STORY. THEY (CUSTOMER SERVICES) TOLD ME THEY HAD NO COMPLAINTS AND NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE AND COULD NOT HELP ME, SINCE MY MUSTANG WAS WAY UNDER THE MILES LIMIT, BUT OVER THE YEARS. I ASKED FOR CORPORATE AND WAS DENIED THE CONTACT INFORMATION. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND LATER FOUND OUT THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY OUT AND OUT BOLD FACED LIED. THEY AT THAT TIME WERE BEING SUED, "MARCH 15, 2013 NYTIMES - JUDGE ALLOWS SUIT OVER ALUMINUM CORROSION IN FORDS TO MOVE FORWARD." GOOGLE, "FORD MUSTANG HOOD BUBBLE OR CORROSION" YOU PULL UP MANY COMPLAINTS.
