VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE GAS PEDAL ON MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG GOT STUCK AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, CAUSING ME TO HIT 2 OTHER PARKED CARS. I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR KEPT GOING FORWARD AND THEN SUDDENLY STOPPED. THIS CAUSED THE WIND TO GET KNOCKED OUT OF ME. THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE CONSISTED OF THE DRIVER SIDE FENDER,TURN SIGNAL,HEADLAMP,BUMPER AND HOOD. DAMAGE TO THE OTHER VEHICLES WAS TO THEIR RESPECTIVE REAR BUMPERS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND AND THAT I'D BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARGES! *TR

PREVIOUSLY FILED COMPLAINT ODI# 10319368. PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT DISENGAGE, PASSENGER SIDE REAR BRAKES AND ROTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AT THE TUNE OF $200. THAT WAS 4 WEEKS AGO AND IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. GOOGLE 2006 MUSTANG DEFECTS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE DUE TO A FAULTY RUBBER BOOT. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM A FORD DEALER (IT HAD 4000 MILES ON IT AND LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. MOST PLACES WANT TO CHARGE SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE. VEHICLE HAS 31,000 MILES, THIS IS CRAP! *TR

VISIBILITY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC, STRUCTURE
1. TRUNK TOO HIGH; BACK WINDOWS SLOPE BLIND DRIVER FROM STREET LIGHT REFLECTION. 2. HOOD AND WINDSHIELD DESIGNED DENY DRIVER FROM SEEING THE CURVES COMING ON SIDE ANGLES. (CAUSING VEHICLE ENDING UP ON CURVE) 3. ABS AUTO ACTIVATE WHEN VEHICLE GOING OVER POTHOLE, CAUSING SLIPPING AND DRIVER CANNOT CONTROL THE BRAKING DISTANCE. 4. AC/HEAT FAN AUTO ACTIVATE WITHOUT CONSENT EVEN WHEN SITTING ON OFF. I HAVE A V6, 2006 MUSTANG. THE SAFETY ISSUE THAT I HAVE IS THE FACT THAT THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE THAT JEOPARDIZING THE CHILDREN UNDER 3 FEET TALL.: THEIR TRUNK ARE TOO HIGH AND THE SLANTED MIRROR BLOCK VISIBILITY. AT NIGHT TIME BACKING OUT IS VERY HARD AND THERE ARE MANY BLIND SPOTS. I HAVE BACKED UP INTO ANOTHER CAR ALREADY DUE TO THE POOR VISIBILITY AND LIGHT REFLECTION: BACK WINDOW DESIGN WITH AN ANGLE THAT BLIND DRIVERS WHEN NIGHT LIGHT HITS. THE OWNER AND I SETTLED IN CASH. THE FRONT HOOD OF THE VEHICLE CENTER LINE FORMED AN UPSIDE DOWN V-SHAPE WHEREAS IT HIGHEST PEAK IS IN THE MIDDLE AND AT NIGHT TIME DRIVING IT HAS LIMITED MY VIEWING ABILITY: ENDED UP ON TWO CURVE, BECAUSE THE CEILING HEIGHT WERE TOO LOW. *TR

DEALERSHIP ADVISED A WELD FROM THE FIREWALL TO THE "A" POST ON PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT MADE AT FACTORY AND GRAMITS HAD BEEN MISSING WITH NO SIGN OF THEM EVER BEING INSTALLED. FORD IS REFUSING TO FIX AND STATES THE ISSUE IS WITH IN THEIR TOLERANCES. AS A FORD CUSTOMER OWNING A $55,000 SHOW MUSTANG THIS IS NOT SITTING WELL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I DRIVE A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. I HAVE HAD A BRAKE PROBLEM SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEM THAT THE TOYOTA PRIUS RECALL IS HAVING. WHEN I AM TURNING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND HIT A BUMP, THE BRAKE GIVE OUT. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT STARTING IN OCTOBER 2007, BUT THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT THE BRAKES AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. THEY WOULDN'T EVEN RECORD IT IN THEIR COMPUTERS. THE PROBLEM HAS ONLY BEEN REPLICATED WHEN TURNING AND HITTING A BUMP SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE BREAK PEDAL GIVES OUT AND DEPRESSES ALL THE WAY WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY BREAKING. I HAVE TO REMOVE MY FOOT AND RE-APPLY THE BRAKE FOR IT TO WORK AGAIN. *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY DAUGHTER'S 2006 FORD MUSTANG ACCELERATOR STUCK THIS AFTERNOON AND ALMOST CAUSED HER TO HIT A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. WHILE STARTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY SHE NOTICED ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO END THE PASSING MANEUVER WHEN THE ENGINE ACCELERATOR "STUCK" WIDE OPEN. THE PEDAL ITSELF HAD COMPLETE FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT AND NO MATTER WHAT SHE TRIED TO DO TO GET IT "UNSTUCK" THE ACCELERATOR REMAINED AT FULL THROTTLE. FULL BRAKES WERE UNABLE TO SLOW THE CARS SPEED. THE THROTTLE FINALLY RELEASED AFTER ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS OF FULL ACCELERATION AND SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE HITTING ANY OTHER VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE CALL A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, NEVADA FORD AT (417)667-3385 OR (800)999-3368 AND ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT ANY SAFETY RECALLS OR INFORMATION ON THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE FROM FORD. I JUST DID A QUICK SEARCH ON LINE AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT STICKING ACCELERATORS ON FORD MUSTANGS. SHE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED FROM MILER-QUINN IN HARRISIONVILLE MISSOURI ABOUT FEBRUARY OR MARCH OF THIS YEAR AND HAS NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL THIS. NOW I BELIEVE THERE MAY HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE ORIGINAL OWNER DUE TO THE LOW PRICE MY DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE THE CAR FOR, $10,500. IT BOOKED FOR $14,500 AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE FROM A DEALERSHIP. PLEASE CONTACT EITHER MYSELF OR MY DAUGHTER ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER COLLECTED INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND CAUSED THE SMART JUNCTION BOX WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE HORN TO RUST. THE HORN IS CURRENTLY INOPERABLE. THE DEALER HAS STATED THAT IF THE TOP AREA OF THE JUNCTION BOX WAS FREE OF DEBRIS IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN COVERED WITH RUST. THE CONTACT WOULD LIKE THE MANUFACTURER TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY OF THE REPAIR COST. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 27,000 AND FAILURE THE MILEAGE WAS 26,500.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2006 MUSTANG HAS STARTED ONLY ALLOWING 5-9 GALLONS OF GAS TO BE PUT IN WHEN IT IS WARM OUTSIDE. IT STARTS SPITING GAS BACK OUT OF THE TANK. I GET GAS ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ALL OVER ME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. WE CAN GET MORE GAS IN AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS COOLER OUTSIDE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 MUSTANG 4.0 OPERATED AT 68 MPH FOR 22 MILES. CAME TO INTERSECTION AND STOPPED. ACCELERATED WHILE TURNING INTO TRAFFIC AND VEHICLE HESITATED AND ENGINE DIED. I WAS NEARLY HIT BY TRACTOR TRAILER RIG BROADSIDE AT 50 + MPH. NHTSA AND FORD MOTOR CO. ARE AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AS PER TSB 06-9-9 WHICH ADVISES TO REPLACE ORIGINAL FUEL PUMP WITH 7R3Z-9H307-C FUEL PUMP AT THE EXPENSE OF THE VEHICLE OWNER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT A TSB ISSUE! SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED BY THIS DEFECT! IT ALSO IS NOT IN SAFETY'S INTEREST TO EXPECT VEHICLE OWNERS TO SPEND MORE THAN $300.00 OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS REPAIR WHEN MANY OWNERS WILL DELAY THIS EXPENSE. THIS DEFECT SHOULD DEFINITELY BE HANDLED AS A RECALL ! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE REVS UP TO 3500 RPM AND RISES FROM THERE. IN ORDER TO STOP IT, I HAVE TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT. TWO WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. FORD SAID THERE IS NO CODES IN THE SYSTEM AND THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE SITUATION TO VERIFY. THEY ALSO SAID THAT I MIGHT BE TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD A PASSENGER VERIFY THAT MY FEET AND THE FLOOR MAT WAS COMPLETELY AWAY FROM THE GAS PEDAL AS THE ENGINE REVVED OVER 3500 RPM. THE CAR OPERATED NORMALLY FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS UNTIL THIS PAST WEEK WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT'S OCCURRED AROUND 20 TIMES WITH 3 OF THEM DURING DRIVING WHERE THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN. FORD HAS SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL A CODE SHOWS UP OR A PART ACTUALLY BREAKS. HOPEFULLY, I WON'T HAVE AN ACCIDENT BY THAT TIME. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT. WHILE PROCEEDING FROM A STOP LIGHT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK. THE VEHICLE THEN ACCELERATED OVER 100 MPH. HE HAD TO REACH DOWN TO SEPARATE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FROM THE FLOOR-BOARD. HE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT IT WOULD COST $800.00 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED, HE WAS NOT PROVIDED WITH ANY ASSISTANCE. A MECHANIC SPECULATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY BECAME JAMMED. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 46,000. THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
ON AUG 5, MY COOLANT WAS AT NORMAL LEVELS AT A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE EXAM. IN THE DARK IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD ON AUG 7, MY CAR OVERHEATED. THE NEXT MORNING, THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE MECHANIC WHO SAW THE CAR WED AS THE CAR COULD NOT MAKE IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND FORD WOULD NOT COMPLIMENTARY TOW THE CAR. THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE COOLANT HAD DRAINED OUT AS THERMOSTAT HOUSING 2L2Z8592BA WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAD BROKEN. THEY EXPLAINED THAT LATELY THEY HAVE SEEN THIS IN MANY FORDS AS FORD HAS CHANGED THIS PART'S MATERIAL AND IS NOW MAKING IT OF A LESS DURABLE MATERIAL. A REPLACEMENT PART WAS ORDERED FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR WHO ALWAYS NEEDS TO PART NUMBER TO ORDER ANY PART. THEY SAID THEY DID NOT NEED THE PART NUMBER THIS TIME WHICH INDICATES THAT THEY HAVE HAD TO ORDER THIS REPLACEMENT PART FREQUENTLY. THE REPAIR COSTS WERE $610. I HAVE THE PART IF ANYONE NEEDS TO EXAMINE IT OR PHOTOGRAPH IT, BUT THEY MAY NOT KEEP IT UNLESS I AM REIMBURSED IN FULL FIRST. THIS PART LASTED THE LIFETIME OF MY 99 MUSTANG AND 91 EXPLORER AND SHOULD HAVE LASTED THE LIFETIME OF THIS CAR. IT LASTS THE LIFETIME OF OTHER COMPANY'S CARS. PLEASE LOOK INTO A RECALL OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART FOR SAFETY REASONS AS IT CAUSES CARS TO STOP WORKING UNEXPECTEDLY. ON AN EXPRESSWAY THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IF A WOMAN IS DRIVING ALONE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD SHE WOULD DRIVE THROUGH IN A LOCKED CAR BUT WOULD NOT STOP IN FOR SAFETY REASONS, WHEN THE CAR STOPS WORKING UNEXPECTEDLY FROM THIS PROBLEM SHE COULD BECOME THE VICTIM OF A VIOLENT CRIME THAT WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED IF HER CAR CONTINUED WORKING. *TR

THE RPM'S ALSO INCREASED TO 2000, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO DECELERATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26000.
