SEATS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
HESITATION IN GAS PEDAL/THROTTLE BODY. WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STOP THERE IS A HESITATION IN GAS PEDAL. PUSH DOWN ON PEDAL AND THERE IS NO RESPONSE UNTIL PEDAL IS DOWN ABOUT HALF THROTTLE AND THEN CAR WILL LEAP AND STAY AT HALF THROTTLE AT WHICH TIME I LET OFF GAS PEDAL AND CONTINUE TO REPEAT PROCESS UNTIL UP TO A SPEED OF ABOUT 30 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. EVERY ONE I TALK TO ABOUT THIS SAYS IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL, 2005-2014 FORD MUSTANG. HOW MANY HAVE DIED FROM THIS PROBLEM AND HOW MANY MORE WILL DIE OR BE INJURED BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED FOR THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM?

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CLUSTER ELECTRICAL GAUGE PANEL HAS SLOWLY STOPPED WORKING. FIRST THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED SPINNING OVER 360 DEGREES, THEN THE TACHOMETER WENT, FOLLOWED BY THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, AND NOW INTERMITTENTLY THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. ON-LINE RESEARCH SUGGESTS THIS IS A FREQUENT ISSUE MAINLY INVOLVING THE 2005 MUSTANG YEAR. FORD HAS REFUSED ISSUE A RECALL AND HAS DECLINED TO FIX THE PROBLEM ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS PASSED THE WARRANTY PERIOD (THE ISSUE ALMOST ALWAYS DEVELOPS AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRES). FORD HAS CHARGED SOME AN EXORBERENT $800 FEE TO FIX THE PANEL. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS AN ISSUE DRIVING WITHOUT A SPEEDOMETER, TEMPERATURE GAUGE, AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE (THE TACHOMETER NONWITHSTANDING). TO HAVE A MAJOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ISSUE IN A STATISICALLY SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND SAME CALENDAR YEAR SEEMS TO WARRANT MORE INTEGRITY ON THE PART OF FORD IN ADMITTING A TECHNICAL FLAW AND GRACIOUSLY OFFERING TO REPAIR IT. *TR

ENGINE
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
