ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE
A FEW WEEKENDS AGO I PURCHASED A VERY NICE LOOKING 06 MUSTANG GT WITH 87,000 (APX) MILES. CAR HAD JUST BEEN CLEANED UP VERY NICELY AND LOOKED LIKE A GOOD DEAL. ON THE WAY HOME I TOOK IT THROUGH THE CAR WASH AND CAME TO DISCOVER WHY IT HAD BEEN SO CLEANED OUT. WATER BEGAN POURING IN UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. LIKE A WATER FALL. THE WATER DIDN'T STOP UNTIL THERE WAS A GOOD 4 INCHES ON THE FLOOR. WHAT A NIGHTMARE. THE WATER SMELLED TERRIBLE. I SMELL A AWFUL MOLD/MILDEW SMELL NOW THAT WON'T GO AWAY. THERE WERE SMALL ELECTRICAL ISSUES AT THE TIME THAT SEEM TO HAVE CLEARED UP... FOR NOW. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED THE DRAINAGE HOLES UNDER THE COWL WERE PLUGGED AND AN INVESTIGATION VERIFIED THE PROBLEM. CLEARING OF THE DRAINAGE HOLES TOOK ONLY A FEW MINUTES, BUT I FEAR THE DAMAGE MAY BE THERE AND WILL CAUSE SERIOUS ISSUES IN THE FUTURE IF THE WIRES SHOULD EVER RUST. AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE IS SCARY. ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS CONTROL.. WELL.. THE ENTIRE CAR. CRUISE CONTROL, WINDOWS, ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, AIR BAGS, ETC. I'D HATE MY AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING. AND THE MOLD IN THE CARPET CAN'T BE HEALTHY EITHER. FORD NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND REPAIR THESE VEHICLES AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. THIS IS NOT ONLY AN INCONVENIENCE, BUT THE ELECTRICAL ASPECT OF THE SITUATION MAKES THIS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS GAMBLE. WHEN THIS CAR IS PAID OFF, I'M GETTING A DIFFERENT SUMMERTIME FUN CAR, AND IT WON'T BE ANOTHER FORD. UNLESS FORD TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, STRUCTURE
LOST FUNCTION OF BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS AND FLASHERS. FORD DEALER IN WINSTON SALEM, NC SAID THE DRAIN BELOW THE WINDSHIELD HAS STOPPED UP AND DIVERTED THE WATER VIA THE WIRING TO THE SJB THEREBY SHORTING IT OUT. HAD NEW SJB INSTALLED AND WATER REMOVED FROM PASSENGER FLOOR AREA. TOOK 2 DAYS FOR CARPETING TO DRY OUT. COST WAS 610.38 PLUS THE SJB. THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT FOR NOT HAVING BRAKE LIGHTS OR TURN SIGNALS. IT IS NOW JULY 1, 2014 AND THE SAME PART HAS FAILED AGAIN BUT WITHOUT THE WATER ISSUE. THE CAR IS GOING BACK IN THE SHOP TOMORROW. I HOPE I DON'T GET REAR ENDED ON THE WAY TO PARKWAY FORD. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF ISSUES INVOLVING THE LOCATION OF THE SJB POSTED ON THE INTERNET. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED, IF THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ALREADY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
WHILE TRYING TO PASS A CAR TO MY RIGHT, DURING MID-LEVEL ACCELERATION, MY ENGINE EXPERIENCED UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION FROM 40MPH TO 70MPH BEFORE I COULD RESPOND AND TURN THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION, KILLING THE ENGINE. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN TWO YEARS. THE FIRST TIME WAS UNDER HARD ACCELERATION WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE RED-LINED AND I HAD TO PUT THE CAT IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT OFF THE IGNITION. THE NEXT THREE TIME I EXPERIENCED THIS WAS DURING MODERATE TO LIGHT ACCELERATION IN PASSING CARS BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 35MPH AND 45 MPH. I HAVE ELIMINATED THE FLOOR MAT AS A CAUSE FOR THIS. I HAVE THE ANCHOR AND GROMMET TYPE MAT THAT CANNOT SLIDE FORWARD. MY FEAR IS THAT A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER WOULD HAVE CRASHED IN ANY OF THESE FOUR OCCURRENCES. *JS

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. MY GAS PEDAL HAS GOTTEN STICK TO THE FLOOR AND WILL NOT LET UP UNLESS I SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAIT ABOUT 10 SECONDS THEN START IT UP AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE IF IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE THROTTLE BODY GETTING STUCK OPEN OR WHAT. IT'S PRETTY FRIGHTENING. I'M ALMOST SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE THE KIDS. *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
HAPPENED 2 CONSECUTIVE DAYS. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 30-40 MILES PER HOUR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S LIKE THE CAR TOOK OFF AND BEGAN ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. BREAKING WOULD NOT REALLY SLOW IT DOWN. SHE WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO THROW THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TI SHIITE DOWN BUT THE VEHICLE KEPT REVVING. SHE HAD TO SHUT IT DOWN AND REMOVE THE KEY BEFORE IT WOULD STOP. IT'S SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS. IT HAPPENED TO ME A DAY EARLIER AT THE TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. HOPEFULLY TOO MANY PEOPLE DON'T GET KILLED BEFORE THE NHTSA TAKES ACTION. I SEE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ONE CHILLY MORNING I COULD NOT FEEL ANY WARM AIR COMING FROM THE HEAT OR THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER. I HAD TO RETURN TO HOME BECAUSE THE WINDOWS WERE FOGGING UP AND I HAD NO HEAT. I DROVE ANOTHER CAR TO WORK THAT DAY. I LATER DISCOVERED THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING GASKET HAD A SLOW LEAK AND ALLOWED MOST OF THE ANTIFREEZE TO LEAK OUT. THIS WAS THE REASON THE DEFROSTER WAS NOT WORKING ALSO THE THERMOSTAT IS NO LONGER IN CONTACT WITH ANY FLUID, ONLY THE PLASTIC HOUSING, AND THE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR NEVER READ MUCH ABOVE COLD WHILE MY ENGINE IS OVERHEATING INTERNALLY DUE TO LOW COOLANT. AFTER REPLACING THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING AND SENSOR I STILL SMELL ANTIFREEZE LEAKING FROM SOME WHERE POSSIBLY THE HEAD GASKET AND HAVE TO TOP OFF THE RADIATOR MORE FREQUENTLY. I BELIEVE THIS DESIGN, PLACING THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR IN THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING, IS A SAFETY HAZARD. FIRST OFF IF YOU HAVE A COOLANT LEAK THE DEFROSTER WILL JUST STOP WORKING WHILE YOUR TEMPERATURE READING WILL BE NORMAL OR STILL COLD. SECONDLY ENGINE FAILURE COULD OCCUR, DUE TO A FALSE TEMPERATURE INDICATION, AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON MONDAY FEBRUARY 24 2014 AT AROUND 12:45PM, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I WAS SITTING IN MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC DUE TO CONSTRUCTION ON THE GRAND CENTRAL PARKWAY(QUEENS NY) HEADING TOWARDS THE VAN WYCK EXPRESSWAY(EAST TO BROOKLYN NY). AS TRAFFIC STARTED TO MOVE UP SLOWLY, I HAD PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE FORWARD AND WITHOUT HESITATION THE CAR JUMPS FROM 7 MPH TO FULL THROTTLE. EVEN WHEN I HAD APPLIED THE BRAKES ( I FELT THE BRAKES ON THE ROTORS BUT IT DIDN'T STOP) THE VEHICLE HAD STAYED STUCK ON FULL THROTTLE AND HAD STRUCK THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. IT BOUNCED OFF THE 1ST VEHICLE AND IT WAS AT THIS POINT I HAD PLACED BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES, TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS STANDING ON THEM WITH MY HEAD HITTING THE ROOF OF THE CAR. THE CAR PROCEEDED ON (STILL IN FULL THROTTLE AND BRAKES APPLIED) AND SMASHED IN BETWEEN TWO OTHER VEHICLES FURTHER UP AND AFTER THAT COLLISION THATS WHEN THE CAR FINALLY HAD CAME TO A STOP. I NEVER HEARD OR SEEN ANY VEHICLE TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN LIKE THAT. TWO DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT I HAD ASKED AROUND ON FACEBOOK ON SEVERAL MUSTANG ENTHUSIAST/CLUB PAGES AND NO ONE HAS HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. A WEEK LATER MY INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED OUT MY VEHICLE AND LEFT ME WITH NO CAR AND NOW I'M LEFT TO PAY $3000 DOLLARS DIFFERENCE ON MY LOAN AND $500 TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I ALSO ASKED ON FORD'S FACEBOOK PAGE AND I WAS GIVEN A NUMBER FROM A CUSTOMER RELATIONS REPRESENTATIVE. I HAD CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS AND "WHAT WILL I LIKE TO DO WITH THIS?". A FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME ABOUT CAR COMPLAINTS.COM AND I CAME ACROSS MORE THAN 20 COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO WAS TOLD RECENTLY TO CHECK THIS WEBSITE TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I LOVED THAT CAR AND THAT WHOLE SITUATION LEFT ME DEPRESSED AND FRUSTRATED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE
WHEN SOMEONE FINALLY DIES FROM THIS INCIDENT WHICH HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES BY CONSUMERS BOTH ON THIS SITE AND WITH TSB'S FROM FORD ISSUED AS EARLY AS 2007 THEN SOMEONE WILL TAKE NOTICE JUST LIKE WHAT JUST HAPPENED AT GM. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. THERE ARE MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL FAILURES DUE TO A SERIOUS WATER LEAK AFFECTING THE ENTIRE CAR. MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE FEB. 8 2014 AND WE JUST PICKED IT UP FOR THIS ISSUE WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED ONCE BEFORE. NOW WITH ANOTHER FEE OF $1,200.00 PAID WE PICKED UP OUR CAR AFTER 2 MONTHS AND UPON DRIVING THE CAR HOME THE AC IS NOT WORKING AND THE SENSOR LIGHTS ARE ON FOR THE DOOR!!! WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR SOMEONE TO REALIZE THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM HERE? THIS COMES AFTER AN EXTENSIVE WATER LEAK THAT CAUSED SERIOUS MOLD DAMAGE INSIDE THE CAR ALONG WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES,ONE OF WHICH A NEW BATTERY WAS NEEDED. THIS WAS FIRST "REPAIRED" IN 5/2013 BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE IN 12/2013 THERE WAS A MASSIVE INTERIOR FLOOD WHICH LEAD TO A MASSIVE INTERIOR MOLD PROBLEM AND THE CAR ALSO WOULD NOT START AND WAS TOWED TO TWO SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS. NO ONE WANTS TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY AND THERE IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF DATA OUT THERE SUPPORTING THE FACT THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS EARLY AS 2007. THE MANAGER AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT ALTHOUGH HE WOULD ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CAR BECAUSE FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL HE WOULD NOT LET HIS WIFE OR CHILDREN DRIVE IN THAT CAR!! *TR

2006 FORD MUSTANG. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE BROKE DOWN AND COMPUTER RECALL ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED A NEW COMPUTER WAS NEEDED FOR THE VEHICLE, AND FORD HAD RECALLED IT DUE TO A KNOWN ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. AFTER 2 MONTHS OF NOT HAVING HER VEHICLE, THE PART WAS STILL ON BACK ORDER. FORD INFORMED THE CONSUMER, TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE PART NEEED WAS AN ECU, THE MAIN COMPUTER. *JB

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS STOPPED COMPLETELY. THE TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN IN THE INTERSECTION. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND STAYED THERE. I FLEW THRU THE INTERSECTION AT TOP SPEED WITH THE BRAKE PUSHED AS HARD AS I COULD WITH NO DECELERATION AT ALL. I TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 150 YARDS WIDE OPEN. I STOMPED THE GAS PEDAL AND TRIED TO GET IT TO RELEASE WITH NO LUCK. I FINALLY TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND JUMPED A CURB TO GET IT STOPPED JUST BEFORE I WOULD HAVE REAR-ENDED A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. FLAT SPOTTED 2 BRAND NEW FRONT TIRES. IT WAS TERRIFYING! IT COST ME $721.32 TO GET THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. AFTER I GOT HOME I GOOGLE FORD ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AND DISCOVERED THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT IN 30 STATES AGAINST FORD FOR THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED AND I NEED A REFUND FROM FORD FOR THE DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY AND 2 NEW TIRES. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT HAD ONLY 14,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I NOTICED WHILE HAND WASHING MY MUSTANG THE HOOD HAD BUBBLES IN THE PAINT. THE ALUMINUM HOOD WAS SHOWING SIGNS OF CORROSION. MY MUSTANG IS IN MINT CONDITION (OTHER THAN THE CORROSION OF THE HOOD). MY MUSTANG HAS LESS THAN 20K ORIGINAL MILES, LIVES IN THE GARAGE AT HOME AND AT WORK. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON THE CAR, AND HOLDING THE MUSTANG TO BE A CLASSIC; WITHOUT A CORRODED HOOD! I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND TOLD THEM MY STORY. THEY (CUSTOMER SERVICES) TOLD ME THEY HAD NO COMPLAINTS AND NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE AND COULD NOT HELP ME, SINCE MY MUSTANG WAS WAY UNDER THE MILES LIMIT, BUT OVER THE YEARS. I ASKED FOR CORPORATE AND WAS DENIED THE CONTACT INFORMATION. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND LATER FOUND OUT THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY OUT AND OUT BOLD FACED LIED. THEY AT THAT TIME WERE BEING SUED, "MARCH 15, 2013 NYTIMES - JUDGE ALLOWS SUIT OVER ALUMINUM CORROSION IN FORDS TO MOVE FORWARD." GOOGLE, "FORD MUSTANG HOOD BUBBLE OR CORROSION" YOU PULL UP MANY COMPLAINTS. GOOGLE, "LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD MUSTANG HOOD", YOU PULL UP MANY COMPLAINTS. 89 FORD MUSTANG COMPLAINTS: HTTP://WWW.AUTOSAFETY.ORG/VIEWCOMPLAINTS/64/71/ALL/ALL/1. ON DECEMBER 27, 2004 FORD ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. ISSUE: SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A BUBBLING OR BLISTERING UNDER THE PAINT ON ALUMINUM BODY PARTS. THIS IS DUE TO IRON CONTAMINATION OF THE ALUMINUM PANEL. BACKGROUND: FORD'S SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH LABORATORY HAS PERFORMED A NUMBER OF TESTS ON VEHICLE BODY PARTS RETURNED FOR CORROSION RELATED CONCERNS. TESTING HAS REVEALED THAT THE ALUMINUM CORROSION WAS CAUSED BY IRON PARTICLES WORKING THEIR WAY INTO THE ALUMINUM BODY PART, PRIOR TO IT BEING PAINTED. FORD STILL DENIES THIS! ATTENTION FORD CORPORATE OR CUSTOMER SERVICE DO THE RIGHT THING HERE AND REPLACE THESE HOODS! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE HAS LOST ALL TENSION AND NO LONGER WORKS TO KEEP BACK WHEELS FROM MOVING. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WHEN PARKED ON A HILL THE CAR IS ONLY SUPPORTED BY THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO THE CAR SEEMS TO ROLL FORWARD EXCESSIVELY WHEN PUT IN PARK WITHOUT THE BRAKE ON. I FEEL AS IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

WATER FIRST NOTICED LEAKING INSIDE THE VEHICLE ON 5/2013 AND WAS -TSB PERFORMED ON SEALS AT COWL PANEL. CAR LEAK WAS NOT FIXED AND STARTED LEAKING AGAIN AT SAME SIGHT, THIS TIME WITH EXTENSIVE MOLD SPORE DAMAGE WHICH CAN BE A SIGNIFICANT HEALTH RISK. THIS CAR HAS HAD MULTIPLE(AT LEAST 5 TIMES)CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON,SEVERAL TIMES THE CAR HAS JUST STALLED WHILE DRIVING AND SO FAR 2 BATTERIES AND 2 ALTERNATORS HAVE BEEN PUT IN TO THIS CAR AND IT MAKES YOU WONDER IF WATER HAS BEEN LEAKING SINCE PURCHASE INTO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THIS CAR. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM AT FORD SINCE 2007 BUT A RECALL WAS NEVER ISSUED. I AM NOT SURE WHAT IT TAKES TO ISSUE A RECALL BUT I WOULD HATE IT TO BE A RESPIRATORY ILLNESS OR A CRASH THAT WOULD BRING IT TO THIS. *TR
