2007 Ford Mustang complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER AND WAS NOT SWITCHING GEARS. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND ONCE RESTARTED, IT WAS STILL DIFFICULT TO SHIFT GEARS AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 40 MPH. THE PROBLEM RECURRED 100 TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

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'M THE OWNER OF A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. I STARTED NOTICING PAINT BUBBLES ALONG THE FRONT EDGE AND UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD. I COME TO FIND OUT THAT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM NOT ONLY FOR SIMILAR MODEL YEAR MUSTANGS, BUT FOR OTHER FORD VEHICLES AS WELL. EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND CONTINUES TO DO NOTHING ABOUT. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE SITUATION IS TO REPLACE THE HOOD AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO COVER THE COST. FURTHERMORE, EVEN AFTER A NEW HOOD WAS INSTALLED, THIS ISSUE WOULD PROBABLY OCCUR AGAIN. VERY FRUSTRATING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE AIR BAG LIGHT HAD ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A AIR BAG SPECIALIST. THE SPECIALIST STATED THE AIR BAGS NEEDED REPLACING. NO REPAIRS HAD BEEN MADE AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

CAME BEHIND SLOWER MOVING VEHICLE, PUSHED PEDAL DOWN TO PASS PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. THE CAR LITERALLY WAS DRIVING ITSELF SPEED KEPT INCREASING DRAMATICALLY. SLAMMED ACCELERATOR PEDAL HARD AS I HIT THE BRAKE. FINALLY RELEASED. PULLED OVER NO CARPETING OR MATS INTERFERING WITH THE PEDAL OPERATION. TODAY, 7/25 IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT MORE VIOLENTLY. SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN ENGAGING PASSING GEAR. I HAVE DRIVEN FOR OVER 45 YEARS AS OVER THE ROAD SALES ENGINEER, NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH TOTAL LACK OF VEHICLE CONTROL. WORSE WE ARE IN CANADA IN THE YUKON TERRITORY 3200 MILES FROM OUR FORD STORE. *TR

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

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. IT WOULD SEEM THAT IN ANY CASE, THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN KNOWING IF THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR OTHERS AND WHAT IF ANYTHING I SHOULD DO ABOUT THIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO 100 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKE PEDAL AND EMERGENCY BRAKE WERE ENGAGED SIMULTANEOUSLY BEFORE THE GEAR WAS PLACED INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. HOWEVER, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RAVED AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG GT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE REFUELED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

HIT A SINK HOLE TRAVELING SOUTH BOUND ON INTERSTATE 65 ON FRIDAY MAY 23, 2014 AT APPROX 1400. BOTH PASSENGER SIDE WHEELS AND TIRES WERE DAMAGED ALONG WITH ALIGNMENT. *TR

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

TRAVELING SOUTH BOUND ON I65 ON FRIDAY MAY 23,2014 JUST NORTH EXIT 325 AND HIT A SINK HOLE. PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND REAR TIRES AND WHEELS WERE DAMAGED. *TR

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

SEAT LUMBER NOT WORKING. WHEN PRESSING BUTTON CLICKING SOUND IS HEARD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ERRONEOUSLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A BARRICADE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

MY DAUGHTER WAS HIT BY ANOTHER PERSON AT FAULT, AND I HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO THE SHOP TO GET REPAIRED, THE DEALER SHIP WOULDNOT FIX THE FRONT END /SUSPENSION OF MY MUSTANG, SAID WAS NOT ACCIDENT RELATED, THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SUSPENSION PARTS OF MY VEHICLE, I AM ONLY READING A RECALL ON 2006 BUT NOT 2007, BUT MY DAUGHTER IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE- REPAIR SHOP STATES I NEED STRUTS AND SUSPENSION PARTS REPLACED, AND A NEW PART THAT WAS NEEDED DUE TO RECALL. I CANNOT FINANCIAL AFFORD TO REPLACE THESE ITEMS. PLEASE CONTACT ME

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS OFF AND THERE IS TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY THE ALTERNATOR AND MANY OTHER PARTS INCLUDING THE ON BOARD COMPUTER IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX IT. I LOVE MY MUSTANG AND WANT IT TO WORK IT BECOMES DIFFICULT WHEN IT WON'T BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THAT NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT. *JS

DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEED CAR LUNGING ACTING AS IF THE ENGINE WAS WANTING TO CUT OUT AND THEN SEEMS TO 'CATCH'. I HAVE SINCE NOTICED IT DOING THE SAME WITH IN TOWN DRIVING. SO SPEEDS SEEM NOT TO BE AN ISSUE. I HAVE DONE SOME ONLINE SEARCHING AND HAVE FOUND FORD HAS ISSUES WITH AUTO THROTTLE BODY AND THE SYMPTOMS SOUND EXACTLY LIKE THE ISSUES I'M HAVING WITH MY CAR. I FOUND THIS, AND FILED THE COMPLAINT AND AM GOING TO BE IN CONTACT WITH MY FORD SERVICE CENTER IN REGARDS TO THE FEB. 2014 UPDATE WHERE AFFECTED OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT FORD AND MENTION CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03. : RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE FORD THROTTLE BODY COULD COME FROM PETITION THE NORTH CAROLINA CONSUMERS COUNCIL (NCCC) HAS OFFICIALLY PETITIONED THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) FOR A DEFECT INVESTIGATION OF ALLEGED THROTTLE BODY FAILURES IN 2005-2012 FORD ESCAPE VEHICLES SHARING THE SAME OR SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR PART. *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

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. I WAS BLESSED TO ESCAPE WITH MY LIFE! WHAT IF I'D BEEN GOING FASTER OR ON THE FREEWAY? 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. THEN UNABLE TO PAY MY CAR NO

I CANNOT PUMP A FULL TANK OF GAS UNLESS I STAND THERE AND PULL THE GAS NOZZLE OUT EVERY SECOND!! IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY! THERE HAS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM AND I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS! FORD SHOULD FIX AND RECALL THIS ISSUE!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TURNING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT A CLANKING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,117.

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

HAVING PROBLEMS FILLING UP THE GAS TANK TO MY MUSTANG. SOMETIMES, I CAN ONLY FILL IT UP WITH A FEW GALLONS BEFORE IT SHUTS OFF AND GOING TO DIFFERENT STATIONS DOESN'T HELP. DEALER SAID TO TRY OTHER STATIONS BUT TO NO AVAIL THAT DID NOT WORK. I CAN STILL ONLY FILL MY TANK UP ABOUT 1/2 WAY AND THAT CAN TAKE SO LONG TO DO. *TR

WHILE DRIVING CAR SHUTS OFF. NO STEERING. HARMONIC BALANCER FAIL OFF. HIT A DITCH. *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. VEHICLE IS A BIT DANGEROUS AND UNNERVING TO DRIVE AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS ON THE INTERSTATE, ESPECIALLY IF THE ROAD IS COURSE AND CURVY. *TR

PAINT ON HOOD AND RIGHT FRONT FENDER ARE BLISTERING AND BUBBLING DUE TO IRON CONTAMINATION CORROSION . THE FORD CORPORATION HAS KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2005 AND NEVER INFORMED THE CONSUMER. *TR

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

2007 FORD MUSTANG. ATTORNEY REPRESENTING CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FIRE AND SEEKS ASSISTANCE FROM VEHICLE MANUFACTURING COMPANY. *SMD ON DECEMBER 25, 2011, THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE OFF, WHEN SUDDENLY IT EXPLODED IN THE OWNER'S DRIVEWAY. THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO FORD. HOWEVER, THEY DENIED ANY LIABILITY.

I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL. I TAPED THE GAS PEDAL AND THAT STOPPED THE RAPID ACCELERATION. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME I WAS PASSING A VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL UNTIL I HIT THE GAS PEDAL HARDER. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS A RECALL. *TR

AFFECTED PARTS: CLUTCH. THE CLUTCH HAS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT (SLIPPING) THREE TIMES IN 44,571 MILES. FIRST PROBLEM OCCURRED AT APPROX. 10,000 MILES (REPLACED BY FORD UNDER WARRANTY). THE SECOND PROBLEM OCCURRED AT APPROX. 24,000 MILES (REPLACED BY FORD UNDER WARRANTY). THE THIRD PROBLEM OCCURRED AT 44,571 MILES AND FORD IS REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING, THE FORD PREMIUM CARE EXTENDED WARRANTY REFUSES TO HONOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY NOW CLAIM IT IS A "MAINTENANCE" ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS A 2007 SHELBY MUSTANG GT500 AND IT IS NOT LISTED IN THE ABOVE DROP DOWN BOX. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS INFORMED BY ANOTHER DRIVER THAT THE BRAKES LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT WHEN THE CLUTCH WAS DEPRESSED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED BECAUSE THE BRACKET THAT CONNECTED THE CLUTCH AND BRAKE PEDAL STRETCHED ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE ILLUMINATION OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 998. *JB

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?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE SERVICING THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THAT THE CALIPERS WERE NOT THE CORRECT SIZE AND NOT WIDE ENOUGH. THE CONTACT STATED HE WAS A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE HE DIAGNOSED THAT THE CALIPERS, THE BRAKE ROTORS, AND THE BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE MADE KNOCKING AND PINGING NOISES WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WHILE PARKED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED SUDDENLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS LOW ENGINE OIL AND IN RESULT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF RAIN LATELY. WE PURCHASED THE CAR IN JANUARY. AFTER A HARD RAIN THE FLOOR BOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WOULD HAVE ABOUT 2 INCHES OF STINKY WATER STANDING. WHEN INVESTIGATING ON LINE I GUESS THIS IS A ISSUE WITH MOST MUSTANG OWNERS. IF YOU PARK WHERE ANY LEAVES OR DIRT CAN COLLECT IN THE FIREWALL UNDER THE WINDSHIELD. THERE ARE TWO RUBBER SEALS THAT GET PLUGGED WITH DIRT AND STUFF WHICH CAUSES THE FIRE WALL TO FILL WITH WATER AND BACK UP INTO THE CAR. IF YOU PULL THE PLUGS OUT CLEAN OUT THE DIRT THE WATER FLOWS OUT. THE FIRST TIME WE PULLED OUT THE PLUGS WE GOT ABOUT TWO GALLONS OF NASTY WATER THAT POURED INTO THE DRIVEWAY. WE CHECK IT EVERY COUPLE WEEKS NOW, AS LONG AS WE CLEAN PLUGS NO PROBLEM??? IS THERE A PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. WE HAD QUITE A SMELL IN THE CAR HAD TO HAVE IT DEEP CLEANED!! *TR

I'M NOT SURE HOW TO EXPLAIN BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT MOTORS BUT I'LL TRY. THERE WAS A SQUEAK IN MY CAR IT WOULD COME AND GO. I BROKE DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. THE MECHANIC SAID THE HARMONIC BALANCE BROKE WHICH BROKE THE CRANK SENOR. THE CAR JUST DIED ON THE HIGHWAY. THE MECHANIC SAID IT IS COMMON IN MUSTANGS IN FACT HE JUST REPLACED ONE LAST WEEK. I DON'T DRIVE MY CAR OFTEN AS YOU CAN TELL IT ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS A 2007 AND WHEN I BOUGHT IT, HAD 3 MILES ON IT.. NOW MY QUESTION IS IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS AND I ALREADY HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME DO I GET PAID BACK.. *TR

WALK OUT TO MY CAR SATURDAY MORNING, BATTERY WAS DEAD. I DECIDED TO BUY A NEW BATTERY. I INSTALLED IT THEN WENT TO A STORE. AS I WAS COMING BACK HOME, A FIRE STARTED ON THE INSIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. I TRIED TO MAKE IT HOME, BUT THE SMOKE WAS GETTING TO ME, MY WINDOWS WOULDN'T WORK. I FINALLY MADE IT HOME BY THAT TIME A FIRE STARTED BLAZING. I YELLED AT MY WIFE TO GET A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. I MANAGE TO PUT OUT THE FLAMES. I HAVE READ ON THE WEB THAT NUMEROUS CARS AS MINE HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. HOW COME NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE?? IS FORD JUST A BIG GIANT OF A BUSINESS THAT NO ONE CAN TOUCH THEM. IF IT WAS WASN'T FOR US STUPID PEOPLE BUYING THEIR PRODUCT, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE A BUSINESS. *TR

I WAS LEAVING A STOP SIGN AND ACCELERATED FROM 1ST TO 2ND. I WAS GOING ABOUT 30MPH IN SECOND WHEN SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE WENT TO A WOT (WIDE OPEN THROTTLE) CONDITION. THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION CAUSED THE REAR OF THE CAR TO SPIN, STRIKING A TREE. THE ACCELERATION WAS SUDDEN AND COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED. THIS IS THE SECOND SUCH OCCASION THAT THIS CONDITION OCCURRED. CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET TO ON AS IT WAS USED BEFORE REACHING THE STOP SIGN. ALSO, STOCK FLOOR MATS WERE IN PLACE. *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

WHEN IT RAINS MY CAR IS LEAKING WATER BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX. CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT MY CAR HAD VERY LOW MILEAGE WHEN PURCHASED I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED.THEY EVEN DID A CAR FAX AND IT SHOWED NO PROBLEM BUT ACCORDING TO DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AS WELL AS WITH THE SHAKER 500 MY C.D. PLAYER STOPPED WORKING I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THESE REPAIRS FIXED AND NOT OUT OF MY POCKET.THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE SITTING,WITH ALL DOORS CLOSED,THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH A CHIME AND STAYED ON,DRIVERS WINDOW WOULDN'T ROLL DOWN AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED MOVING BY THEMSELVES,THEN THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WENT OFF FOR A SPLIT SECOND,THEN CAME BACK ON MULTIPLE TIMES ALONG WITH THE CHIMES AND WOULDN'T GO OFF,AT THE SAME TIME,THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS NOW WONT WORK,SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR 10 MINUTES,NOW EVERYTHING OPERATED FINE FOR A SHORT TIME,THEN IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. *TR

I HAD A 2005 MUSTANG AND COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT WHY IT LEAKED EVERYTIME IT RAINED , THINKING IT WAS JUST A PROBLEM WITH THAT CAR, I EVENTUALLY WENT OUT AND BOUGHT A 2007 MUSTANG, AND THE FIRST HEAVY RAIN AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, THE SAME THING.. WATER POURING OUT FROM UNDER THE GLOVE BOX ON TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND NOW PARTS OF THE RADIO ARE NOT WORKING. I HAVE ALWAYS SINCE A LITTLE GIRL BE IN LOVE WITH FORD MUSTANGS AND CONSIDERING THE CONTINUING PROBLEM WITH THE LEAKS ITS ALMOST NOT WORTH IT TO PURCHASE A MUSTANG. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS MORE COMMON ON THE 05-09 MODELS BUT FROM WHAT I GATHER ITS A PROBLEM WITH MOST EVEN THE NEWER MODELS. IM AT A LOST AS OF WHAT TO DO.. IM SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT GETTING RID OF THE CAR. AND KNOWING THAT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM MAKES ME SICK.. DEAR FORD ITS YOUR MISTAKE, SO FIX IT. *TR

THE PAINT ON THE HOOD OF THE CAR HAS RUSTED OFF AT NOT EVEN 40,000 MILES OF OWNING THE CAR. FORD DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR FAULTY PAINT. THEIR WARRANTY ONLY COVERS BUMPER TO BUMPER, INCLUDING PAINT, UP TO 36,000 MILES. I HAVE OWNED CARS WHERE THE PAINT REMAINED INTACT WELL OVER 200,000 MILES. *TR

I HAVE HAD SMALL EPISODES BEFORE BUT DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT BUT YESTERDAY, PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, MY CAR STARTED TO LUNGE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I TRIED TO DRIVE AND IT WOULD SPEED UP WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL BUT IT DOESN'T. NO CONTROL TO STOP THE CAR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND, WITH ALL THESE COMPLAINTS WHY FORD HASN'T DONE ANYTHING. IT IS NOT MY FLOOR MAT. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING AND FOUND SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE SPENT $1000S OF DOLLARS AND IT DOESN'T GET FIXED. I READ THAT ONE PERSON REPLACED THE COIL AND IT WORKED BUT THAT IS STILL OVER $1000 AND ITS ONLY ONE PERSON. ALSO, WHO KNOWS IF IT STILL WORKS. HAS ANYONE FOUND A FIX? HOW CAN FORD KEEP SAYING THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM WHEN EVERYONE HAS REPORTED THE PROBLEM? IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CORD BROKE. *TR

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

ON MY 2007 MUSTANG GT. THE LOWER BALL JOINT ON LEFT SIDE WOULD NOT PASS PA STATE INSPECTION @ 16,700 MILES AND RIGHT SIDE WENT BAD AND WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION AT @ 29,800 MILES. THE INSPECTIONS WERE DONE AT A FORD DEALER. EACH TIME THE COST IS OVER $500.00. FORD DID SPLIT THE COST AFTER I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE FIRST ISSUE. I HAVE CHECKED A FEW MUSTANG SITES AND HAVE FOUND OUT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH CARS 2005-06-07 AND 08 MUSTANGS. *TR
