DT: THE CONSUMER STATES THAT 2004 FORD MUSTANG WAS HAVING MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS GUSHING OUT AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID PROBLEM. THE NEXT PROBLEM WAS OIL LEAKING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR REPAIRS AND IT WAS STILL LEAKING OIL.

THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO HAVE A SEAL REPLACE A LINE, AND THE ENGINE IS STILL LEAKING. THE OWNER SAYS THAT HE CAN NOT DRIVE THE DRIVE BECAUSE IT WILL BLOW UP THE ENGINE. THE OWNER REFUSED TO DRIVE THE CAR WHEN HE FOUND ALL THESE PROBLEMS, SO HE DIDN'T BURN THE CAR UP. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS THAT HAVE WORKED ON THE CAR. THE OWNER SAID THAT THE DEALERS HAD CLAIMED TO FIX THE CAR, BUT DID NOT FIX IT. THE CAR ALSO HAS HAD A TIRE PROBLEM THAT THE OWNER HAD TO REPLACE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS WEAR AND TEAR.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 SVT COBRA, I WAS IN A 55MPH ZONE AND WENT TO PASS A GUY. MY ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK ON THE CARPET AND WOULD NOT COME UP, I WAS FORCED TO SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND PULL OFF TO THE SIDE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3-4 OCCASIONS WHILE I REVVED MY ENGINE ALSO, I HAVE SINCE CUT THE CARPET ALL AROUND THE GAS PEDAL SO IT WILL NO LONGER STICK. MIKE ZILINSKI

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
I HAVE A 2004 MUSTANG COBRA. MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, TWICE I HAD THE CARPET NEAR THE GAS PEDDLE INTERFERE WITH THE OPERATION OF THE GAS PEDDLE. ONCE IT DID NOT ALLOW THE GAS PEDDLE TO RETURN TO ITS NORMAL POSITION WHEN MY FOOT WAS REMOVED. THE SECOND TIME THE CARPET FOUND ITS WAY UNDER THE GAS PEDDLE AND DID NOT ALLOW FOR PROPER USE OF THE GAS PEDDLE UNTIL THE CARPET WAS REMOVED TO ITS NORMAL POSITION. CAUSE SEEMS TO BE THAT THE CARPET DOES NOT STAY ATTACHED TO THE TABS THAT ARE TO HOLD IT IN PLACE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
COMPLAINT ON MY 2004 FORD MUSTANG GT (ORGINAL OWNER OF BOTH). VEHICLE HAS PROBLEMS RELATING TO THE POSITION OF THE CARPET AROUND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. AFTER MINIMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE (5000 MILES OR AROUND 3-5 MONTHS OF USE) A LARGE HOLE DEVELOPED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IF THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED FULLY OR ALMOST FULLY THE SIDE OF YOUR SHOE CAN CATCH ON THE HOLE LONG ENOUGH TO POSE A SAFTEY HAZARD OF NOT BEING ABLE TO TAKE YOUR FOOT IMMEADATLY OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AND HAVE TO BE VERY CONCIOUS OF MY FOOT POSITION ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHEN DRIVING TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM NOW THAT I AM AWARE OF IT. FORD DEEMS THIS PROBLEM AS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE CAR AND WILL NOT COVER REPLACEMENT OF THE CARPET UNDER MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRENTY. PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE, PLEASE CONTACT AND I WILL FORWARD THEM TO YOU.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
I HAVE A 2004 FORD MUSTANG COBRA. I HAVE HAD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECOME STUCK UNDER THE CARPET ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. ONE OF THE EVENTS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON A DYNO-JET TESTING HORSEPOWER, AND IT WAS CAPTURED ON VIDEO. THE OTHER EVEN HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, AND I WAS NEARLY KILLED. I JUST HAPPENED TO THINK FAST AND SWITCH THE KEY OFF. I HAVE FIXED THIS BY CUTTING AWAY A SECTION OF CARPET UNDER THE PEDAL. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS SOLUTION BECAUSE THIS IS A LIMITED PRODUCTION CAR, AND CUTTING CARPET IS NOT A THING THAT I WANTED TO DO. BUT I WAS AFRAID THAT IF I DID NOT DO THIS I WOULD BE INJURED OR KILLED THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD MUSTANG. SHE IS CALLING IN RESPONSE TO THE INVESTIGATION NUMBER PE05038. THE CONTACT STATES THAT THE VEHICLE SOUNDS LIKE IT IS REVVING TOO MUCH WHILE CHANGING GEARS BECAUSE THE RPM'S STAY UP TO HIGH. THE CONTACT HAS CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR WHEN THEY FIRST PURCHASED IT, AND THEY TOLD HIM IT WAS THE NATURE OF THIS CAR. THE DEALERSHIP MUST HAVE SPOKEN WITH FORD IN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. ALSO, THEY WROTE A LETTER TO FORD AND CONTACTED THEM AS WELL ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *AK

WHILE DRIVING MY 04 MACH 1, THE GAS PEDAL GOT STUCK UNDER THE CARPET TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR REACHED AN ESTIMATED SPEED OF AROUND 125 MPH BEFORE I SHUT IT DOWN AND PULLED OVER. THE SECOND TIME I KNEW WHAT HAPPENED AND REACHED DOWN AND LIFTED THE PEDAL UP TO FREE IT. THESE ARE PRETTY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. I'M GOING TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY.
