FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
FORD SHELBY GT500 2007, ACCELERATOR STUCK! WHILE GOING AROUND SOME CARS ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT FIRST I DIDN'T BOTHER TO DOWNSHIFT AND DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I REALIZED I NEEDED TO DOWNSHIFT AND TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS WHILE DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH THE RPM'S WENT UP AND I IMMEDIATELY KNEW THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK DOWN. IT FELT LIKE IT SNAPPED OR LOCKED DOWN. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR BY HOLDING THE CLUTCH DOWN AND TAPPING (MORE LIKE STOMPING) THE GAS PEDAL TILL IT RELEASED. I FEEL FORTUNATE THAT THE SHELBY HAS A GOVERNOR THAN KEEPS THE RPM'S UNDER 6,000. MY PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH OLDER CARS IN MY TEENS WITH STICKY ACCELERATOR CABLES WAS ALSO A LIFE SAVER. I SHOW THIS CAR AND FLOOR MATS ARE A NON ISSUE REMOVED WHILE DRIVING TO PRESERVE THEM. AFTER I GOT HOME I WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE WITH CAR SAFELY TURNED OFF. WILL CONTACT FORD DEALER TOMORROW. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
I'M THE OWNER OF A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. I STARTED NOTICING PAINT BUBBLES ALONG THE FRONT EDGE AND UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD. I COME TO FIND OUT THAT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM NOT ONLY FOR SIMILAR MODEL YEAR MUSTANGS, BUT FOR OTHER FORD VEHICLES AS WELL. EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND CONTINUES TO DO NOTHING ABOUT. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE SITUATION IS TO REPLACE THE HOOD AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO COVER THE COST. FURTHERMORE, EVEN AFTER A NEW HOOD WAS INSTALLED, THIS ISSUE WOULD PROBABLY OCCUR AGAIN. VERY FRUSTRATING.

CAME BEHIND SLOWER MOVING VEHICLE, PUSHED PEDAL DOWN TO PASS PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. THE CAR LITERALLY WAS DRIVING ITSELF SPEED KEPT INCREASING DRAMATICALLY. SLAMMED ACCELERATOR PEDAL HARD AS I HIT THE BRAKE. FINALLY RELEASED. PULLED OVER NO CARPETING OR MATS INTERFERING WITH THE PEDAL OPERATION. TODAY, 7/25 IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT MORE VIOLENTLY. SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN ENGAGING PASSING GEAR. I HAVE DRIVEN FOR OVER 45 YEARS AS OVER THE ROAD SALES ENGINEER, NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH TOTAL LACK OF VEHICLE CONTROL. WORSE WE ARE IN CANADA IN THE YUKON TERRITORY 3200 MILES FROM OUR FORD STORE. *TR

CAN'T FILL THE GAS TANK AS IT CAN'T BE PUMPED ON PULLING THE GAS NOZZLE ALL THE WAY. I HAVE TO PULL THE NOZZLE ONE PULL AT A TIME TO GET GAS IN AND GAS SPLASHING BACK ON ME AND CAR. I HAVE WASTED A LOT OF GASOLINE DOING THIS AND A LOT OF TIME TH GET IT TO A 1/2 A TANK IF I'M LUCKY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OR DEALER FIX. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE HORN STARTED BLOWING. IT STARTLED ME AND THE DRIVERS OF SEVERAL OF THE AUTOMOBILES NEAR ME. APPARENTLY, OTHER DRIVERS THOUGHT THERE WAS SOME EMERGENCY. I TOOK THE NEXT AVAILABLE EXIT FROM THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED OVER AT A SAFE PLACE. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THE HORN STOPPED BLOWING. I STARTED THE CAR AND PULLED ONTO THE STREET AND THE HORN AGAIN STARTED BLOWING. AFTER STOPPING AND STARTING AGAIN, THE HORN STOPPED BLOWING. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALER. THEY INDICATED THAT EVERYTHING WAS "WORKING PROPERLY AT THIS TIME". THEY SAID THAT THE "MOST COMMON PART FAILURE IS THE DRIVERS SIDE MODULE TO START." THE PRICE QUOTE WAS $1058.48 TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG MODULE. I HAVE REMOVED THE HORN RELAY TEMPORARILY, BUT I AM FEARFUL THAT POSSIBLY THE AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY WHILE I'M DRIVING. IT WOULD SEEM THAT IN ANY CASE, THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN KNOWING IF THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR OTHERS AND WHAT IF ANYTHING I SHOULD DO ABOUT THIS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SMART JUNCTION BOX ON MY 2007 FORD MUSTANG SHORT CIRCUITED DUE TO A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WHICH CAUSES THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT KICK PANEL TO FLOOD. THERE IS A RUBBER STOPPER WHICH REGULATES WATER FLOW INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT DURING RAIN STORMS. THE STOPPER IS LOCATED UNDER THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS NEAR THE CABIN AIR FILTER. WHEN THE STOPPER BECOMES CLOGGED DUE TO THE ELEMENTS, IT FLOODS THE AREA AND SENDS WATER IN THROUGH THE CABIN AIR FILTER. THE WATER WILL THEN POUR DIRECTLY ON AN ELECTRICAL UNIT - THE SMART JUNCTION BOX. THE SMART JUNCTION BOX CONTROLS ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR, THE HORN, THE ALARM, AND A FEW AUXILIARY ITEMS. DUE TO THE MANUFACTURER'S OVERSIGHT MY CAR HAS A MALFUNCTIONING HORN AND ALARM. I WROTE DIRECTLY TO FORD AND CALLED THEIR CUSTOMER CARE LINE ABOUT THIS CONCERN; FORD DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS AN AT FAULT SAFETY ISSUE AT THIS TIME. MULTIPLE FORUMS THAT I'VE FOUND ONLINE WILL SUPPORT THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS AT THE EXIT OF A PARKING LOT AND WAITING TO TURN OUT ONTO THE STREET. WHEN I BEGAN TO TURN, MY CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE WAY FASTER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE. I HIT THE BRAKES BUT MY CAR WASN'T SLOWING DOWN AND KEPT ACCELERATING. I HIT THE "OFF" ON MY CRUISE CONTROL THINKING MAYBE IT BECAME ACTIVE BUT NOTHING HAPPENED, AS I BEGAN TO COME CLOSE TO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME I TURNED LEFT ONTO THE NEXT STREET STILL HITTING MY BRAKES (AT THIS POINT I HAD GONE A BLOCK AND A HALF WITH MY BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED IN). AS I TURNED, I HAD TROUBLE CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE I ENDED UP HITTING THE CURB WITH MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. AFTER THE IMPACT THE ACCELERATION HAD STOPPED, I COULD HEAR SOMETHING HAD BROKEN, AND FELT IT AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN BECAUSE MY CAR WASN'T TRAVELING STRAIGHT AND I COULDN'T TURN EASILY. THERE WERE KIDS IN THE STREET THAT I DIDN'T SEE BEFORE I HAD TURNED, I SWERVED AGAIN TO AVOID THEM (LUCKILY JUST MISSING THEM BECAUSE AS STATED BEFORE, I COULDN'T TURN IT VERY EASILY) AND MADE IT ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN THE BLOCK BEFORE MY CAR CAME TO A FULL STOP (THE ENTIRE TIME STILL HITTING MY BRAKES). I DID NOT SEE THE ACTUAL SPEED I WAS GOING, THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING RAPIDLY AND TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL. THE CAR DEFECT HAS COST ME APPROXIMATELY $4000.00 IN CAR REPAIR FEES AND ALSO DEPRECIATION. IT WAS SUCH A HARD IMPACT THAT I EXPECTED MY AIR BAGS TO BLOW, BUT THEY DIDN'T. I HOPE THEY ARE NOT DEFECTIVE AS WELL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING FOR QUITE AWHILE. I WAS RESEARCHING A LUNGE PROBLEM, DISCOVERED IT IS FREQUENTLY HAPPENING TO OTHERS. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM GOING A VERY SLOW SPEED. IT HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC MANY TIMES WHICH IS SCARY, IN MY HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS, WE HAVE SPEED BUMPS SO YOU MUST DRIVE SLOWLY AND MAKING TURNS. IT JUST IMMEDIATELY ALL SHUTS DOWN AND THE CAR STOPS. I ACTUALLY TRY TO AVOID TRAFFIC ON FREEWAY BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES. I HAVE DISCUSSED, IN THE PAST, THIS WITH MY MECHANIC VARIOUS TIMES AND MADE SURE EVERYTHING IN MY CAR IS FINE. I HAVE REPLACED EVERYTHING AND MY CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEED CAR LUNGING ACTING AS IF THE ENGINE WAS WANTING TO CUT OUT AND THEN SEEMS TO 'CATCH'. I HAVE SINCE NOTICED IT DOING THE SAME WITH IN TOWN DRIVING. SO SPEEDS SEEM NOT TO BE AN ISSUE. I HAVE DONE SOME ONLINE SEARCHING AND HAVE FOUND FORD HAS ISSUES WITH AUTO THROTTLE BODY AND THE SYMPTOMS SOUND EXACTLY LIKE THE ISSUES I'M HAVING WITH MY CAR. I FOUND THIS, AND FILED THE COMPLAINT AND AM GOING TO BE IN CONTACT WITH MY FORD SERVICE CENTER IN REGARDS TO THE FEB. 2014 UPDATE WHERE AFFECTED OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT FORD AND MENTION CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03. : RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE FORD THROTTLE BODY COULD COME FROM PETITION THE NORTH CAROLINA CONSUMERS COUNCIL (NCCC) HAS OFFICIALLY PETITIONED THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) FOR A DEFECT INVESTIGATION OF ALLEGED THROTTLE BODY FAILURES IN 2005-2012 FORD ESCAPE VEHICLES SHARING THE SAME OR SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR PART. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING MY HUSBAND'S 2007 FORD MUSTANG WHEN AFTER SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, I ACCELERATED AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, THERE WAS NO LIGHTS ON IN THE CAR AND THE CAR JUST DIED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE LEFT AND USE ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO TURN THE WHEEL INTO A DRIVE AND STOP THE CAR. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND CALLED MY HUSBAND RIGHT AWAY. AT THE TIME, HE SAID IT HAD NEVER HAPPENED TO HIM. I LET THE CAR SIT AND HE CAME IN MY CAR TO GET ME. I REFUSED TO DRIVE IT AFTER THAT. HE WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE IT HOME. HE HAS BEEN DRIVING IT SINCE AND HE HIMSELF HAS HAD THIS EXPERIENCE WHERE THE CAR JUST DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. WE THOUGHT THE BATTERY WAS THE CAUSE BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL SO WE REPLACED IT BUT WITH THE NEW GM RECALLS AND BECAUSE I KNOW THAT MOST MANUFACTURERS BUY PARTS FROM THE SAME SUPPLIERS, THIS HAS ME WORRIED AND I AM THINKING THIS COULD BE A BIGGER ISSUE THAT WHAT WE KNOW. TO THIS DAY, WE DRIVE MY CAR WHEREVER WE GO. I DO NOT LIKE USING HIS CAR AT ALL. WE WERE NERVOUS ABOUT TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM PAST EXPERIENCES AS THE DEALERSHIPS ONLY LIKE TO FIX THINGS THAT THEY CAN DUPLICATE AND WE KNOW THIS WAS NOT GOING TO BE DUPLICATED. IN 6 YEARS IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE. *TR
