2007 Ford Mustang complaints

I PURCHASED A USED 2007 FORD MUSTANG SHELBY GT WITH 15K MILES. THERE WERE 3 SPOTS ON THE HOOD WHERE PAINT HAD BUBBLED. A LOCAL BODY SHOP SAID THE PROBLEM WAS THAT STEEL RIVETS HAD BEEN USED TO SECURE THE HOOD PIN DISKS TO THE HOOD AND ONE SPOT AT THE AIR SCOOP; ALUMINUM RIVETS SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR IN SEPTEMBER AND DURING THE FIRST HARD RAIN MY FLOOR WAS COMPLETELY SOAKED WITH A PUDDLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. AND WHEN I WOULD DRIVE, YOU COULD HEAR THE WATER POURING ONTO THE FLOOR. NOW MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I WILL PUT IT DOWN AND THEN TRY TO PUT IT UP AND IT WILL KEEP GOING UP AND DOWN ON IT'S OWN. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER BUT HAVE SPOKEN TO MY MECHANIC ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HE IS RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC STOP WHEN THE CLUTCH WAS RELEASED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE CLUTCH AND THE FLY WHEEL WOULD HAVE TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,600.

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'.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER IT WOULD RAIN, WATER WOULD LEAK FROM UNDER THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD, WHICH RESULTED TO AN ACCUMULATION OF WATER ON THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

ACCELERATED TO PASS VEHICLE TRAVELING AT 20MPH. CAR CONTINUED ACCELERATION AFTER FOOT REMOVED FROM PEDAL. SPEED REACHED 80MPH. CAR CONTINUED TO REV WHEN PUT INTO NEUTRAL. CAR HAD TRAVELED APPROX. 1. 5 MILES BEFORE I TURNED OFF IGNITION. THERE WAS NO PLACE TO PULL OVER. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, BUT I WENT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. CAR MAT WAS PROPERLY ON RETAINING HOOK. TOWED CAR TO FORD SERVICE CENTER WHERE THE FOUND NOTHING. AT MY REQUEST, THEY REPLACED THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY. RESEARCH ON INTERNET INDICATES THAT THIS NOT AN UNCOMMON EVENT. *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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 FORD MUSTANG GT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ENGAGED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54597.

MY 2007 FORD MUSTANG HAS LEAKED FROM UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SIDE GLOVEBOX SINCE I BOUGHT IT FROM CARMAX IN 2008. I TOOK IT BACK BUT LEAKS WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANY. DID NOT REALIZE THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE. NOW MY COMPUTER SENSORS HAVE WATER DAMAGE ISSUES I BELIEVE AND IT IS CAUSING ME TO FAIL EMISSIONS. *TR

NOTICED ONE DAY THAT MY REAR WINDOW WHAT FOGGY LOOKING WHILE DRIVING TO THE POINT YOU CAN NOT MAKE OUT SHAPES OR OBJECTS. CLEANED THE VEHICLE THINKING IT WAS DIRTY BUT NOT IN THIS CASE. HAD IT LOOKED AT AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DISTORTED FROM BAD MATERIAL OR NOT PUT TOGETHER RIGHT. IT IS STILL A FACTORY WINDOW AND FORD REFUSES TO DO NOTHING WITH IT. NOW I AM HAVING AC PROBLEMS, WARM AIR BLOWING ON THE DRIVER AND SEMI COOL AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. HAD FREON PUT IN TWICE AND AFTER A FEW WEEKS DOES THE SAME THING AGAIN. *TR

EVERY TIME IT RAINS WATER LEAKS FROM BEHIND MY GLOVE BOX AND SOAKS THE MATS. WATER ALSO COLLECTS IN THE PASSENGER DOOR. THERE IS A MOLD SMELL AND MY HAZARD LIGHTS FLASH ON THERE ON CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DIE. S*TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN WHEN MY ACCELERATOR STARTED TO STICK AND FLOOR IT, BRAKES WERE DOING NOTHING SO I THREW IT INTO NEUTRAL AND EVENTUALLY WITH MUCH EFFORT WE CAME TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR STUCK THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ALSO TURNED ON THE LIGHT SAYING IT TURNED OFF. WHEN FINALLY STOP AND THE CAR OFF THE ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK TO THE GROUND AND IT TOOK A FEW TRIES TO GET THE CAR TO TURN ON. VERY DANGEROUS AND HAS NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATE WITHOUT BEING ENGAGED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WAS WITH THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT COULD NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

AT 64,700 MILES MY RT. AND LEFT BALL JOINTS AND SUSPENSION ARM WERE FOUND TO BE LOOSE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER INVESTIGATING ON GOOGLE FOR BALL JOINT FAILURE FOR MUSTANGS I FOUND THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE WERE EXPRESSING THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT THEIR MUSTANGS, PARTICULARLY THE NEWER MODELS SALE DURING 2004-2007. *TR

MY 2007 FORD MUSTANG STARTED TO LEAK LAST YEAR 2011 EVERY TIME IT RAINS, WATER POURS FROM UNDER THE GLOVE BOX. YOU CAN BE DRIVING OR IN PARK AND THE WATER JUST CONTINUALLY RUNS. NOW MY MUSTANG HAS HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND REAKS OF MOLD AND THE CAR IS NOW COMPLETELY RUINED BECAUSE OF THIS LEAK. FORD WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS A RECALL SO WE ARE FORCED TO PAY BECAUSE IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY LONGER. THIS CAR IS NOW A LEMON BECAUSE FORD DID NOT BUILD THIS CAR CORRECTLY. THIS CAR IS NOT EVEN PAID OFF YET AND IS NOW CONSIDERED JUNK. FORD WILL NOT HELP US GET WHAT WE ARE PAYING FOR I DID NOT BUY A NEW CAR TO HAVE IT RUINED WITHIN FOUR YEARS BECAUSE IT WAS NOT BUILT CORRECTLY. *TR

THE E BRAKE FREEZES EVERYTIME IT GETS BELOW FREEZING. THIS IS THE MOST ANNOYING THING AND I WILL NEVER BUY A MUSTANG AGAIN. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL FOR THIS, THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS. *TR

I OWN A 2007 MUSTANG GT. IT HAS LESS THAN 15 THOUSAND MILES ON IT. IT HAS FAILED INSPECTION (12/22/11) DUE TO THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT BEING WORN OUT. THE CAR IS PULLING AND HAS A THUMPING NOISE. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY E-MAILED ME THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: IN THE FUTURE, WHEN THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) RELEASE A RECALL/CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM ON THIS PARTICULAR COMPONENT, YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A REFUND IF YOU ALREADY HAD THE REPAIRS COMPLETED AND IF NOT, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE THE REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE NHTSA IS THE FEDERAL AGENCY WHO IS RESPONSIBLE TO REVIEW THIS KIND OF PROGRAMS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING EASTBOUND ON THE 91 FREEWAY IN CALIFORNIA. I WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THE ACCELERATOR REVVED UP AND INCREASED MY SPEED TO OVER 90 MILES PER HOUR WHICH I HAD NO CONTROL OF. I REALIZED THAT THE ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK AND PUT MY CAR INTO NEUTRAL. I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY WITH THE HELP OF A DIRT FIELD WITHOUT DOING THIS I WOULD HAVE CRASHED AND EITHER BEEN KILLED OR I WOULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. I CONTACTED FORD CORPORATION ABOUT MY PROBLEM AND THEY INSISTED THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE HEARD OF A MUSTANG DOING THIS. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND APPARENTLY THIS IS HAPPENING ALOT WITH THE MUSTANG. MY CAR HAS ONLY 33,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

WHEN ITS RAINING WATER POURS FROM UNDER THE GLOVE DEPARTMENT ON PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

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

AFTER BEING IN HURRICANE IRENE MY CAR NOW GETS LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER IN THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT COMES IN FROM UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH. AFTER A LARGE RAIN FALL 11/28/2011 I HAVE APPROX. 3 TO 4 INCHES OF WATER STANDING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK. I HAVE CALLED FORD AND THEY HAVE BEEN NO HELP. *KB

LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF WHEN CAR IS SHUT OFF, THEN HAD TO REPLACE BATTERY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY THREE YEARS LATER. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR WOULD BLINK VERY RAPIDLY WHENEVER A TURN SIGNAL WAS ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CABLES WHICH CONTROL THE REAR LIGHTS WERE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY WOULD DRAIN VERY RAPIDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND A LARGE BATTERY WAS INSTALLED AS A REPLACEMENT, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT WATER WAS LEAKING IN THROUGH THE FIREWALL. AS A RESULT, THIS WAS THE SOURCE OF ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,800.

BALL JOINTS AND CONTROL ARMS ARE FAILING DUE TO FAULTY CHEAP PARTS THESE PARTS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT LOOK AT SOME MUSTANG FORUMS IT'S VERY WIDESPREAD FAILING AS EARLY AS 7800 MILES ON MODELS MADE FROM 2005 TO 2009. *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. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATED TO USE DOT 3 BRAKE FLUID. HOWEVER, THE DEALER USED DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID. UPDATED 11/09/15. *JB

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 PROVI

ACCELERATOR STUCK WHEN ENTERING RAMP OFF HIGHWAY. MOTOR WAS RACING. TRIED TO BRAKE BUT BRAKES WERE FIGHTING AGAINST ENGINE. HAD TO THROW VEHICLE IN TO PARK ONCE VEHICLE SLOWED ENOUGH BUT STILL FOUGHT THE MOTOR RACING. STARTED CAR BACK UP AND ACCELERATOR STILL STUCK TO FLOOR. CHECKED TO SEE IF CAR MAT POSSIBLY WAS THE CAUSE, BUT WAS NOT. CALLED FOR TOW TRUCK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD BECOME STUCK IN OPEN THROTTLE POSITION AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,136.

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

HARMONIC BALANCER/CRANKSHAFT PULLEY CAME APART ON A 2007 FORD MUSTANG V6 WHILE DRIVING. IT HAD LESS THAN 37000 MILES ON IT. LUCKILY, ALL THAT HAPPENED WAS SERPENTINE BELT SLIPPED OFF, WHICH I REALIZED IMMEDIATELY WHEN I LOST POWER STEERING. I WAS NEAR HOME AND GOT HOME SAFELY. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR PROBLEM IF IT HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. REPLACED BY MY MECHANIC, WHO SAYS THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS NUMEROUS TIME IN THE PAST, AND THAT FORD NOW SELLS AN "UPDATED" PART FOR THE VEHICLE. THIS SUGGEST TO ME THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT DON'T WANT TO PAY TO REPLACE IT. *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 LA

THE ENGINE ON MY 2007 FORD MUSTANG WAS REVVING HIGH WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE. WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF ON ME HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND CRASHING THROUGH A WALL ACROSS FROM THE SPOT I WAS PARKED IN. THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAS NOT HAPPENED PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT BUT THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 5,075 MILES ON IT. *TR

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING INTO THE GARAGE AT APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO THE GARAGE WALL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT ON A PRIOR OCCASION WHILE PARKING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED BUT HE THOUGHT IT WAS A DRIVER ERROR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 55,500.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG SHELBY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT ENGAGE WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THE CLUTCH AND FLY WHEEL FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 11,500.

THE SEAT BRACKETS OF MY 2007 FORD MUSTANG ARE RUSTING THROUGH. ALMOST FROM DAY ONE, THE PAINT ON THE BRACKETS PEELED OFF AND THE RUST STARTED SHORTLY AFTER THAT. I AM WORRIED THAT SOON THE BRACKET ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT WILL RUST THROUGH AND THE VEHICLE MIGHT BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE. I HAVE TRIED TO ADDRESS THIS WITH FORD BUT THEY DON'T RESPOND TO THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

RAIN LEAKS INTO THE CAR AND CAUSE S ALL MANNER OF PROBLEMS IN THE FUSE BOX. LIGHTS STAY ON OR DO NOT WORK, CAR CUTS OUT ON THE FREEWAY. CRUISE CONTROL WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. WINDOWS MAY GO UP AND DOWN AND THEN STAY HALF DOWN FOR SOME TIME. *TR

2007 FORD MUSTANG V6 HAS WATER LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH PASSENGER DASH. AFTER INSPECTION WATER WAS SEEN DRIPPING RAPIDLY FROM CLIMATE CONTROL FAN BOX ONTO EXPOSED ELECTRICAL WIRE CONNECTIONS. ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT RAINS AND WATER CAN BE HEARD SPLASHING WITHIN FAN BOX WHEN DRIVING. FORD ISSUED A TSB BUT WATER DRIPPING ON EXPOSED ELECTRIC CAN CAUSE RISK OF SHORT AND FIRE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT A CROSS MEMBER AND LOWER BALL JOINT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WIDESPREAD. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,550 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,547.

2007 MANUFACTURING DEFECT: EXTENSIVE LEAKING OF WATER INTO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. CAUSING LIGHTS TO GO OFF,OR SOMETIMES GO ON WITHOUT SWITCHING ON, WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN BY THEMSELVES, OCCASIONALLY MOTOR CUTS OUT ON HIGHWAY, CRUISE CONTROL OPERATES INTERMITTENTLY. EVENTUALLY THIS WILL ALSO RESULT IN PREMATURE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. *TR

2007 FORD MUSTANG. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH WATER LEAK COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED WATER WAS POURING IN THE VEHICLE DOWN THROUGH THE FIREWALL AND DAMAGING THE RUGS, LINERS, DASHBOARD AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL WIRES. THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME HE WAS TOLD THE MOLDINGS WERE LOOSE, BUT NEVER REPAIRED THE DAMAGE. THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR DUE THE DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. ALSO, THE DOOR HANDLE HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WATER CAME INTO THE VEHICLE FROM UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE SEAL ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE HAPPEN AGAIN ON 2/2/11, AND SHE HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACTED STATED THAT AFTER GETTING OUT OF HIS VEHICLE THERE WAS AN ODOR AND NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT REAR AXLE WAS A BRIGHT RED COLOR. HE IMMEDIATELY DROVE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE BRAKE CALIPERS WERE PRESSED AGAINST THE ROTORS WHICH FRACTURED. THE RIGHT REAR ROTORS WERE REPAIRED. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE 35 DAYS LATER THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK IN FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,000.

STOPPED AT GAS STATION AND FILLED TANK WITH GAS. AFTER FILL UP TURNED ONTO HIGHWAY AND STARTED DRIVING. ABOUT 1/2 MILE DOWN THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT-OFF. *TR

ON 12/01/2010 MY 2007 FORD MUSTANG COUPE FISHTAILED ON BLACK ICE IN MID-MICHIGAN, SPUN AROUND AT LEAST 1.5 TIMES AND COLLIDED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WITH SEVERAL SMALL TREES IN A DITCH. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD THE AIRBAG RECALL PERFORMED ON THE CAR IN 2008 OR 2009 AT A FORD DEALERSHIP. NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60-65 MPH ON AN EXPRESSWAY. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. I SUSTAINED INJURIES, THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF WHICH ARE UNKNOWN, AND WAGE LOSS DUE TO MY INCIDENT. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN THIS COLLISION. *TR

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

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.
