Remote services turned off traction control during a snow storm, and caused the throttle to get struck open.
Electrical System
Filed Dec 26, 2025OH
The vehicle has experienced repeated and ongoing electrical system failures, including chronic battery drain that causes the vehicle to fail to start, erratic HVAC operation where controls do not function as intended, and persistent water intrusion into the doors and interior areas. The HVAC malfunction has resulted in the inability to properly defrost or defog the windshield while driving, significantly impairing visibility and creating an immediate safety hazard. These issues appear consistent with failure or corrosion of the Smart Junction Box (SJB) or related electrical control components. Replacement Smart Junction Boxes are unavailable through both Ford and aftermarket sources, preventing proper repair of the defect. The electrical instability and water intrusion present a risk of sudden loss of vehicle operability, impaired visibility, and unpredictable electrical behavior while the vehicle is in motion, creating a safety risk to the driver, passengers, and others on the road. The issues are recurring and reproducible.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Complaints 1-50 of 615, newest first, reproduced as filed.
Going by the federal record, it is one of the Mustang years to avoid: owners filed 615 complaints, 2.7 times as many as a typical Mustang year. The most common complaint is about the airbags (56%).
What is the most common problem with the 2007 Ford Mustang?
The airbags: 346 of the 615 complaints (56%) are about it. Owners most often say it did not deploy its airbags in a crash (5%). The typical report comes at 71,000 miles.
How many recalls does the 2007 Ford Mustang have?
9 safety recalls on file with NHTSA, the most recent filed Feb 16, 2021. 3 of them carry a do-not-drive or park-outside warning. The largest, 16V384000, covered 1,892,343 vehicles. Recall repairs are free at a dealer; whether a specific car still has one open depends on its VIN.
At what mileage do 2007 Ford Mustang problems start?
Half of the complaints that record an odometer reading came in before 36,000 miles. For the airbags the midpoint is 71,000 miles.
Has NHTSA investigated the 2007 Ford Mustang?
Yes, 4 times. The latest, EA15001 ("Air Bag Inflator Rupture"), was opened Feb 24, 2015 and is still open.
Are there service bulletins for the 2007 Ford Mustang?
The manufacturer filed 25 technical service bulletins and other notices for it with NHTSA, most of them about the body and frame (7), the airbags (6) and the transmission (4). A bulletin is a repair instruction to dealers, not a recall: the fix is usually free only under warranty.
Reading this record
NHTSA has issued a do-not-drive warning for a recall on this vehicle.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
Most recent recall on file: Feb 16, 2021. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
