ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AFTER HEAVY RAIN FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. I WAS DRIVING STRAIT, IN THE RAIN ON A CITY STREET. I NOTICED MY RADIO TURNED OFF. THEN ALSO NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS AND BLINKERS WERE ALSO NOT WORKING. AFTER REACHING MY DESTINATION BEFORE IT GOT TOO DARK I STOPPED AND TESTED ALL LIGHTS INCLUDING BRAKE LIGHTS. ALL OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING, THE GAS LIGHT CAME ON (ALTHOUGH I HAD ATLEAST A HALF TANK) TCS LIGHT AND ALSO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT WERE ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER PARKING THE MUSTANG IN THE GARAGE FOR A COUPLE WEEKS UNTIL I HAD TIME TO CHECK THE STATUS OF THE CAR. I NOTICED THE FLOOR OF THE CAB (PASSENGER SIDE) WAS DAMP. THE CAR BATTERY WAS DEAD (LESS THAN A YEAR OLD, RED TOP OPTIMA) AND THERE WAS MOLD ACTUALLY GROWING IN PARTS OF THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. I DID SOME RESEARCH REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND FOUND IT COMMON FROM A FAILED PLUG UNDER THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS NEXT TO THE A/C FILTER. CAUSING THE WATER TO FILL UP BETWEEN THE FIREWALL AND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, AND ULTIMATELY LEAKING INSIDE THE CAB ONTO THE SJB (SMART JUNCTION BOX) LOCATED DIRECTLY BEHIND THE FIREWALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE FOR IT CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF ELECTRONICS FAIL WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO THE FACT THAT THERE IS MOLD GROWING IN MY CAR FROM THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND NEEDS ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A NOTICE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO INFORMING ME THAT THE PASSENGER FRONTAL INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE IF MY VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. I WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS ONCE THE PARTS WERE RECEIVED. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY MORE INSTRUCTIONS. I AM ABOUT TO TAKE A CROSS COUNTRY TRIP WITH THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE HAVING THIS MATTER RESOLVED PRIOR TO STARTING THIS TRIP, AND ENDANGERING MY PASSENGER.

TAKATA RECALL - I, ALONG WITH OTHERS, AM STILL WAITING FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TO BE REPLACED BY FORD. IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE THE RECALL, AND THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE. THE PERSON AT VISTA FORD TOLD ME I SHOULDN'T DRIVE THE CAR WITH ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT -- I SHOULD PUT THEM IN THE BACK, WHICH IS BARELY COMFORTABLE FOR A DOG. THEN I CALLED FORD MOTOR CO, WHOSE REP TOLD ME THAT FORD AND THE NHTSA SAY THE CAR IS PERFECTLY SAFE TO DRIVE WHILE I'M WAITING FOR THE RECALL. ISN'T FORD LIABLE AND DO YOU REALLY ENDORSE CONTINUING TO DRIVE PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT? NOBODY KNOWS WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE -- I'M EXTREMELY CONCERNED.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON DEC 15 2016 APPROXIMATELY 8:15 P.M I WENT TO THE 711 A MINUTE UP THE ROAD FROM MY HOUSE. AS I WAS LEAVING THE STORE TO GET ON DOUBLE CREEK DR TO COME BACK HOME I WAS ENTERING THE STREET TO GET IN THE FAR LEFT TURNING LANE TO MAKE A U TURN AT THE LIGHT TO GO BACK TO MY HOUSE . I WAS SLOWLY COME OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY OF 711 PICKED UP SPEED ABOUT 15 -20 MPH . WHEN SUDDENLY THE GAS THROTTLE STARTED PICKING UP SPEED . I WAS HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE RED LIGHT THE GAS PEDDLE QUICKLY PICKED UP SPEED . THERE WAS TRAFFIC THAT HAD A GREEN LIGHT GOING HORIZONTALLY, I TRIED EVERYTHING TO TRY AND STOP MY VEHICLE . IN ORDER TO AVOID GETTING T BONED I TURNED MY OUT OF CONTROL CAR FROM THE THROTTLE BEING STUCK TO THE FAR RIGHT SCARED FOR MY LIFE . THERE WAS A VEHICLE TURNING LEFT AND I HIT THE DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE ALL THE WAY DOWN THE SIDE . WHEN THAT HAPPENED . I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE SLOW DOWN THE CAR AND PULL INTO THE STORE. WITH IN A FEW MINUTES THE POLICE OFFICERS WERE THERE . THERE WAS DAMAGE TO BOTH OUR VEHICLES . MY MUSTANG WILL BE TOTALED . THE OTHER GENTLEMAN TOOK OFF IN AN AMBULANCE . THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM THANK GOD NOBODY WAS KILLED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAS THE CAR AND WE ARE GOING TO REQUEST AND ASK THAT FORD DO A DATA DOWN LOAD OR INSURANCE COMPANY . SO FAR FORD DOES NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS MATTER . WE OPENED UP A CASE WITH FORD AND WAS QUICKLY BLEW OFF. I AM NOT BLOWING THIS OFF IN THE NAME OF JESUS AND A CHILD OF GOD . I WAS PROTECTED FROM SOMETHING THAT COULD OF BEEN DEATH. MY CHILDREN HAVE BEEN IN THIS CAR OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS AND THIS COULD OF HAPPENED AT ANY TIME OF ME GOING FASTER SPEEDS LIKE ON THE FREEWAY. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND I'M NOT STOPPING TILL THEY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY , BEFORE SOMEBODY IS KILLED . *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
EVER SINCE I GOT MY MUSTANG THE FUEL GAUGE WAS ACTING UP AND WOULD SOMETIMES GIVE ME A CORRECT READING BUT MOST OF THE TIME IT JUST SITS AT EMPTY EVEN AFTER REFUELING. THEN JUST RECENTLY I STARTED DRIVING INTO WORK WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS DOING ABOUT 100 MPH ON CITY STREETS AND CONFIRMED IT WAS INACCURATE WHEN I CAME TO A STOPLIGHT AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP BUT THE SPEEDOMETER READ 50 MPH. WHEN I GOT TO WORK I STOPPED THE ENGINE AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND I HAD TO REPEAT THIS PROCESS 7-8 TIMES TO GET IT TO RESET BACK TO 0 MPH THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT OCCURRED SINCE I GOT IT. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 05 V6 MUSTANG'S INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS GOING OUT. THE TACTOMITER STAYS AT ZERO AT ALL TIMES AND THE SPEEDOMITER VARIES. AT TIME MY SPEEDOMITER ACTS NORMAL THEN IT WILL GO BELLOW ZERO. MY SPEEDOMITER WILL FIX ITS SELF AFTER 10 - 15 MINUTES OF THE CAR BEING TURNED OFF. I HAVE NOTICED, ON THE INTERNET, THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY EXACT YEAR MODEL EVEN IF THEY HAVE REALLY LOW MILAGE. I BELIEVE THAT FORD SHOULD RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE NOT BEING ABLE TO TELL HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING IS QUITE THE SAFTEY HAZARD. I BELIEVE THAT THE ONLY REASON WHY FOR HASNT RECALLED IT YET, IS BECAUSE THEY CHARGE $500 - $800 AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THROTTLE BODY FAILED AS I WAS DRIVING AT SPEED ON THE FREEWAY. WHEN IT FAILED, THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO IDLE MODE WHICH MADE IT VERY DANGEROUS TO AVOID TRAFFIC AS I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY. THE CAR MOVED AT NO MORE THAN 5MPH! THE REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE. I FEEL THAT THIS PART SHOULD NOT FAIL AFTER JUST 76,000 MILES. ATTACHED IS THE REPAIR BILL. *TR

2005 FORD MUSTANG. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEALERSHIP REFUSAL TO REPAIR RECALL NOTICE 14V-802 & 15V-319 DUE TO PREVIOUS AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT DURING VEHICLE ACCIDENT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HIS DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION IN SEPTEMBER 2014.

SOMETIMES IT SHOWS I AM DRIVING 20MPH UNDER WHAT I THINK I'M DRIVING AT. RESULTING IN 4 TICKETS. I AM PAYING OVER $500 TO HAVE FORD REPLACE THE CLUSTER.
