TIRES
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 NOTE ON TIME BECAUSE OF THE UNNECESSARY FINANCIAL BURDEN OF HAVING TO REPLACE ALL THE TIRES, FORD MOTOR CREDIT WHO KNEW ALL ALONG AND WAS TOLD BY ME, CHOSE TO LIE TO THE COURT ABOUT WHY I WAS LATE MAKING MY PAYMENT AND TOOK MY MUSTANG AWAY FROM ME THAT I HAD BEEN FAITHFULLY PAYING FOR OVER 7+ YEARS. I LOST MY DREAM CAR BECAUSE OF GREED BY FORD MOTOR, PIRELLI TIRE COMPANY AND FORD MOTOR CREDIT! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
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

WHEELS
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

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES
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? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING? I KNOW THERE ARE MANY MORE COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE THAN ON THIS SITE. I HAVE SEEN THEM BUT PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THIS IS USELESS. IS THAT CORRECT? I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW *JS

STRUCTURE
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

ENGINE
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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
