FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
CANNOT FILL UP GAS TANK. ONCE THE TANK IS HALF FULL, THE PUMP STOPS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE - FIRST TIME ON 6/12/2005 & 6/22/2005. WE PURCHASED THE 2005 MUSTANG ON 6/1/05 AND COULD ONLY FILL IT UP ONCE WITHOUT THE PUMP STOPPING. THE CAR WAS LOOKED AT BY A FORD DEALERSHIP AND A NEW GAS TANK HAS BEEN ORDERED. WILL FOLLOW-UP IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS TO SEE IF THIS WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION (APPROX. 3 TOTAL), WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REFUEL THE GAS TANK, THE HANDLE WILL RELEASE AS IF THE TANK WAS FULL AFTER LESS THAN A GALLON HAS BEEN ADDED. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS, INCLUDING ONE I VISIT OFTEN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT IS NECESSARY TO HOLD THE FUELING HANDLE BECAUSE IT WILL CONSTANTLY RELEASE IF THE HANDLE LOCK IS USED.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
UNABLE TO FILL FUEL TANK. PUMP KICKS OFF AFTER A FEW SECONDS AND WILL NOT FILL TANK. DEALER REPLACED GAS TANK PER FORD TECH LINE. PROBLEM WAS GONE FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH NOW HAVING TROUBLE AGAIN AT CERTAIN GAS STATIONS. DEALER CALLED FORD TECH LINE AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO USE GAS STATIONS THAT WORKED FOR FILLING GAS TANK AND ALSO WAS TOLD THE ENGINERS AT FORD WERE NO LONGER WORKING ON THIS ISSUE. THERE IS ANOTHER PERSON IN THE AREA WITH THE SAME CAR HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IF YOU WOULD LIKE HIS INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT ME.

SUSPENSION:FRONT
WHEN MAKING TURNS LEFT OR RIGHT THERE IS A VERY LOUD CLICK FROM THE FRONT END. THIS IS A CONSTANT OCCURRENCE, USUALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT ON LEVEL GROUND BUT WHEN THERE IS A SLOPE SUCH AS IN PARKING STRUCTURES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER REGARDING THIS PROBLEM , BUT THEY HAVE NOT FIXED IT YET, AND THE PARTS THEY ORIGINALLY ORDERED THEY NOW SAY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, THERE SEEMS TO BE A LESS AUDIBLE CLICK COMING FORM UNDER THE FRONT PART OF THE CAR, USUALLY WHEN THE HEATER OR THE AIR CONDITIONING IS ON, WHICH NO ONE SEEMS TO PINPOINT. THIS IS NOT CONSTANT BUT IS AN OFF AND ON OCCURRENCE. LASTLY, I HAVE A PROBLEM SOMETIMES WHEN FUELING AS THE PUMP TURNS OFF RIGHT AFTER I BEGIN FUELING AS IF THE TANK IS FULL WHEN IT IS NOT. I SOLVE THIS BY CHANGING THE PUMP OR GAS STATION BUT IT HAPPENS TOO OFTEN FOR IT NOT TO BE MENTIONED.*AK
