The radio is constantly draining the battery with no way to prevent this. This leaves me to constantly have to replace the battery due to being damaged.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, POWER TRAIN
I was simply going up a slight hill and the wrench light turned on I lost power she still accelerated but sluggish and changing gears was sluggish too. Turned it off at the house made sure my CAI was good and the light is off. I see tons upon tons of people complaining about the wrench light and the throttlebody. No codes. Something is wrong with them I see people have trouble with 12k on their Throttle body. I wanted to go on here to say that I believe it is EXTREMELY dangerous for the issue to come and go especially on busy roads. The problem comes and goes without a trace. So dangerous it deserves a recall just like my airbag and the hundreds of thousands who reported it

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CAR IS AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT PLANET FORD IN SPRING, TX. I NOTICED A SMELL OF GASOLINE AND TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION WHEN I HAD THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL DONE. I SPECIAL ORDERED THE VEHICLE IN THE SPRING OF 2009 THROUGH THEIR DEALERSHIP FROM FORD. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE, 28,000. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT THE GAS TANK IS COMING APART AT THE SEAM AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY $3000 TO REPLACE THE TANK. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER CARE WITH MY SAFETY CONCERNS AND REQUESTED THEY SEND A REPRESENTATIVE TO PLANET FORD TO INSPECT THE TANK FOR DEFECT AND WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED IT. THEY TOLD ME THE FORD SERVICE MANAGER AT PLANET FORD WOULD HAVE TO DO THAT. WHEN I TOLD MY SERVICE REP AT PLANET FORD WHAT CUSTOMER CARE SAID, THE FORD REP/TECHNICIAN DENIED THAT THEY COULD DO THAT AND OFFERED ME KNOW FURTHER HELP WITH ESCALATING MY CONCERNS TO FORD. I WANT FORD TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH MY CUSTOM ORDER AT THEIR FACTORY THAT CAUSED IT? I WANT FORD TO COME AND SEE WHAT THEY BUILT AND SOLD ME AND TO NOTE THE SAFETY HAZARDS TO MY LIFE. I UNDERSTAND IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME THAT THE SHRAPNEL IN THEIR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS WERE MORE IMPORTANT TO THEM THAN A DEFECTIVE GAS TANK THAT'S COMING APART AT THE SEAM AND OFF-GASSING BADLY. THE GAS FUMES ARE VERY TOXIC AND VOLATILE AND COULD CAUSE AN EXPLOSION OR GIVE ME CANCER. FOR THE LONGEST TIME, I THOUGHT THE FUMES WERE NORMAL, SINCE THAT MUSTANG HAS THE CAP-LESS GAS TANK AND I WAS ASSOCIATING THE ODOR NEAR THE REAR AREA WHERE I FILLED-UP. IT TOOK FRIENDS AND FAMILY TELLING ME 'NO, THAT SMELL IS NOT NORMAL." AND THAT IT URGENTLY NEEDS TO BE ASSESSED.
