ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I HAVE A 2006 MUSTANG WITH ONLY 7500 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE OWNED IT NOW FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. TODAY I WAS DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND THE ENGINE JUST TURNED OFF. I PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. I DROVE HOME WITH NO ISSUES. I WAS ALMOST ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. IF YOU COMPLETE A GOOGLE SEARCH ON 2006-2009 MUSTANGS, THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE LISTED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, I CHECKED ALL THE FLUIDS IN THE CAR AND THEY WERE ALL FINE. IT DID NOT SOUND LIKE THEIR WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE; THIS SEEMS MORE LIKE A GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM, SOMETHING THAT FORD SHOULD RECALL AND FIX. BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF, THE STEERING WAS HARD TO CONTROL, IF I WAS GOING AT A FASTER SPEED, I MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. THIS COULD HAVE CREATED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

PARKING BRAKE, STRUCTURE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW FREEZING, THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD BECOME STUCK IN POSITION. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO GET THE BRAKE TO RELEASE BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE UNTIL THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN RUNNING IDLE FOR AT LEAST 15-20 MINUTES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT WATER WAS GETTING ON THE CABLE FOR THE PARKING BRAKE AND FREEZING. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS A BOOT THAT STOOD STRAIGHT UP AND ALLOWED WATER TO ENTER THE CABLE AND FREEZE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
AFTER CHANGING THE BATTERY ON MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT WITH 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION IT IDLES VERY ROUGH AND SOMETIMES DIES DURING DRIVING OR IDLES SO LOW THE POWER STEERING IS NOT FULLY FUNCTIONAL RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE STEERING EFFORT. THE CAR RAN FINE UNTIL THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. I FOLLOWED THE RELEARN PROCEDURE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL BUT IT DID NOT HELP. *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
FLOOR MAT PROVIDED BY ROUSH GOT STUCK BEHIND THE GAS PEDAL AND CAUSED MY CAR TO ACCELERATE TO WHAT FELT LIKE 90-100 MPH. I ATTEMPTED TO PASS TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME AND SLAMMED MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE AHEAD; HOWEVER, UPON PASSING THE TRAFFIC ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY NORTH, WHICH HAS A SPEED LIMIT OF 65 MPH, MY GAS PEDAL BECAME STUCK OR JAMMED IN THE MAT AND ACCELERATED TO WHAT FELT LIKE 90-100 MPH. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL THEN ACCIDENTALLY TO REVERSE HEARING A MECHANICAL CLUNK, DURING WHICH TIME I REPEATEDLY SLAMMED MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN LUCKILY, THE GAS PEDAL RELEASED AND I WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING LIKE NORMAL. LATER THAT DAY, I NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR MAT WAS STUCK BEHIND THE GAS PEDAL AT WORK; IT MAY HAVE SLID UNDER THE GAS PEDAL WHEN MY FOOT LIFTED UP FROM THE FLOOR OR THE EXACT TIME I AM NOT SURE SINCE WHEN I ENTER MY CAR I DO NOT LOOK TO SEE IF MY FLOOR MAT IS STUCK BEHIND THE GAS PEDAL. HOWEVER, I AM FILING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THE FLOOR MAT PROVIDED BY FORD WITH MY 2006 ROUSH STAGE II FORD MUSTANG HAD NO HOLE TO LATCH ONTO THE HOOK ON THE FLOOR OF THE CAR AS WELL AS THE ROUSH FLOOR MAT PROVIDED WITH PURCHASE OF THE CAR AND USED THAT DAY, DID HAVE A HOLE TO CONNECT TO THE HOOK ON THE FLOOR, BUT DOES NOT FIT THE HOOK. I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURERS DID NOT ENSURE 100% THAT THEIR FLOOR MATS ARE SECURED TO THE FLOOR; INSTEAD, IN THIS EXAMPLE, IT SLID ON THE FLOOR AND BECAME STUCK BEHIND MY GAS PEDAL. I HAVE SINCE REMOVED THE ROUSH FLOOR MAT FROM THE FLOOR AND DO NOT USE A FLOOR MAT, NEITHER THE ONE PROVIDED BY FORD NOR THE ONE PROVIDED BY ROUSH. THIS COMPLAINT IS MORE A COSMETIC DESIGN FLAW THAN A MECHANICAL PROBLEM, SINCE NO TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD WHICH I COMMUNICATED TO FORD BY MAIL. OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE WENT THROUGH WITH AN INSPECTION OF MY VEHICLE AT MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING DAY (WHICH I SCHEDULED), BUT THE CAR DRIVES FINE TODAY AND THERE IS NO LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. *TR

STRUCTURE
I HAVE 2006 MUSTANG GT, BROUGHT NEW AND THE PAINT ON THE HOOD IS FALLING OFF, I TOOK TO A FORD DEALER BODY SHOP, AND WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF $600.00 , TO REPAINT THE HOOD. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY ON THE PAINT IS ONLY GOOD FOR 36,000 MILES OR 3 YEARS. THE PAINT WAS NOT FALLING OFF AT 36,000 MILES, AND I THINK FORD SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS IS REALLY UNBELIEVABLE [AND YES THIS IS YET ANOTHER LEAK THREAD]. I HAVE BEEN HAWKING THE ENTIRE LEAK ISSUE, AND A MEMBER HERE IN A RECENT POST HAS IDENTIFIED THE SMOKING GUN - CLEAR PROOF THAT FORD IS HIDING A KNOWN LEAK PROBLEM WITH A BAND-AID. MANY HAVE ASKED AND WONDERED WHY A PIECE OF WHITE FOAM EXISTS OVER THE ELECTRICAL BOX (SJB) WITHIN THEIR PASSENGER COMPARTMENT SIDE KICK PANEL. WELL, IN RESPONSE TO ONE OF THE THREADS HERE, ONE OF OUR MEMBERS HAS NOW POSTED THIS: "... IN FORD'S FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL UNDER THE SECTION ON REPLACING THE ELECTRICAL BOX ...(SJB) ... INSIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE KICK PANEL, FORD REFERS TO THE FOAM SHEET OVER THE SJB AS A "WATERSHIELD" AND CAUTIONS NOT TO REMOVE IT WHEN INSTALLING THE NEW BOX ..." IF THIS IS TRUE, AND IT SHOULD BE VERIFIED BY SOMEONE WITH ACCESS TO THE MANUALS [WHICH I DO NOT HAVE], HERE ARE THE FACTS: FORD DESIGNS AND BUILDS A VEHICLE WITH AN ELECTRICAL BOX (SJB) LOCATED INSIDE THE PASSENGER CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. IN FACT, THE SJB IS NESTLED BETWEEN THE OUTER FENDER AND THE INTERIOR KICK PANEL. BUT FOR SOME REASON - CLEARLY KNOWN TO FORD - THEY FIND THE NEED TO INCLUDE A FOAM "WATERSHIELD" TO PROTECT THE SJB FROM WATER INFILTRATION. CERTAINLY THIS IS [XXX] PRODUCT QUALITY AT IT'S FINEST, BUT IT WOULD SEEM THAT IT IS FAR MORE. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT IT IS PROOF POSITIVE FOR THOSE WITH THE PROBLEM TO DEMAND THAT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) FORCE A RECALL OF THE VEHICLE IF ONLY ENOUGHOWNERS NOTIFIED NHTSA ACCORDINGLY [ANOTHER TOPIC/STRATEGY DISCUSSED ON THESE FORUMS]. IT'S BLACK AND WHITE. THE SN197 LEAKS, AND FORD HAS KNOW ABOUT IT FOR A LONG TIME, AND HAS YET TO TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. AND NO; A TSB DOES NOT QUALIFY. THE MANUFACTURER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THE VEHICLE. WRITING A CHECKLIST - TO BE USED ONLY WHEN A OWNER COMPLAINS ABOUT THE PROBLEM - IS NOT THE SAME AS FIXING THE PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VISIBILITY
ALL I WAS DOING WAS CLEANING OUT MY CAR AND THEN GOT IN THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS MY TIRE. I INSPECTED MY TIRES THEN SAW MY WINDSHIELD. I INVESTIGATED THE WINDSHIELD AND SAW NO HOLES OR ANYTHING AT ALL. THE TEMPERATURE WAS THE SAME AS ALWAYS AND THE WINDOWS WERE DOWN. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
VISITED FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CHECKED. THEY CHECKED IT AND TOLD ME THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG HAD A DEFECTIVE CONNECTOR AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A 2006 VEHICLE THAT HAS A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG CONNECTOR? THIS IS NOT RIGHT. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $275.00 TO REPLACE THE PART. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 5 MPH ON A GRAVEL ROAD SURFACE, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO PARK THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED, AND THE ENGINE REVVED EXCESSIVELY HIGH WITH AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAUSING THE TIRES TO SPIN.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MARCH 2010, JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND CAME TO A STOP SIGN, CAR DIED. EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE UNTIL RECENTLY, JULY 2010, WHEN THE CAR STALLED ABOUT 5-6 TIMES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO CROSS THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC. I HAD 2 PEOPLE NEARLY RUN INTO ME BEFORE I COULD ACTUALLY GET IT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE. THEN, IT WOULDN'T START BACK UP WITH ME. I HAD TO LET IT SET FOR A FEW MINS, TRIED AGAIN AND IT FINALLY STARTED BACK UP. HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP, AND THERE IS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE, NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPLACED BEC I AM ON UNEMPLOYMENT AND DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY RIGHT NOW. I NEED MY CAR FOR INTERVIEWS AND A JOB WHEN I FINALLY FIND ONE. :( *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2006 FORD MUSTANG GT FOR THE LAST 12 MONTHS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ACCELERATION WITHOUT APPLYING GAS PEDAL. HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT LOW RATES OF SPEED. WHEN REMOVE FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL TO SLOW VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES JUMPING FROM 500RPM TO 1500+RPMS. HAVE TO DEPRESS BRAKE HARD TO KEEP VEHICLE FROM JUMPING FORWARD. BIG PROBLEM WHEN TRYING TO COME TO A STOP AT INTERSECTIONS. HAVE REARENDED VEHICLE IN FRONT BECAUSE THE MUSTANG JUMPED FORWARD AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND REMOVING FOOT FROM BRAKE PEDAL. NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE TO VEHICLE STRUCK BY THE MUSTANG. MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND ANY CAUSE FOR THE ENGINE REVVING. THIS HAS GONE FROM AN OCCASIONAL INCIDENT TO AN EVERY DAY OCCURRENCE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2006 MUSTANG GT MANUAL TRANSMISSION. REPLACEMENT OF BATTERY RESULTS IN ENGINE STALLING WITH AIR CONDITIONING ON WHEN CLUTCH DEPRESSED.. THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES ON REPLACING BATTERY THE COMPUTER NEEDS TO RELEARN IDLE. THIS DOES NOT WORK AT LEAST NOT IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN OVER A NUMBER OF DAYS WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING AND DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH EITHER COMING TO STOP OR TURNING A CORNER THE ENGINE IDLE WILL DROP FAR ENOUGH WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL STALL RESULTING IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES POSSIBLY CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE VEHICLE RAN CORRECTLY BEFORE THE BATTERY REPLACEMENT AND ONLY HAS 22,000 MILES. GOOGLING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET FINDS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WHICH ARE IDENTICAL OF WHICH OWNERS OF THE 4.6L FORD V8 (NOT JUST MUSTANG) ARE REPORTING IDLE AND STALLING PROBLEMS AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY AND WITH THE ISSUE NOT RESOLVING ITSELF AS THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES RESULTING IN EITHER A COMPUTER REFLASH OR THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT. THIS DEFECT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. FORD SHOULD RECALL AFFECTED VEHICLES AND HAVE THE DEFAULT IDLE SETTING SET FOR A HIGHER VALUE SO THE AIR CONDITIONER WHEN ENGAGED DOES NOT RESULT IN THE ENGINE STALLING. THE IDLE OF ENGINE IS ERRATIC WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON SINCE IT IS ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING DUE TO THE LOW IDLE SPEED < 500RPM. BY NOT USING THE AIR CONDITIONER THE IDLE SPEED WILL RETURN TO ITS NORMAL SPEED OF AROUND 600 TO 700RPM BUT STILL FLUCTUATES SLIGHTLY. NOT BEING ABLE TO USE THE AIR CONDITIONER IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH EAST. THE CONTROL FEED BACK OF THE IDLE SYSTEM IS INCORRECTLY OPERATING WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER LOAD ON IT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A 2006 FORD MUSTANG AND I CONTINUOUSLY HAVE PROBLEMS PUTTING GAS INTO THE VEHICLE, EVEN WHEN IT IS NEAR EMPTY. THE GAS WILL SPLASH BACK OUT AND NOT GO INTO THE TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND JUST AS RECENT AS JUNE 6, 2010. I ALSO HAD AN INCIDENT AROUND MARCH OF 2010 WHEN I TRIED TO STOP FOR A STOP LIGHT AND MY CAR ACCELERATED WHILE I WAS LITERALLY STANDING ON THE BRAKE. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND WAS STOPPED BY POLICE FOR HAZARDOUS DRIVING. WHEN I EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED, I DID NOT RECEIVE A CITATION BUT HAD TO GO ACROSS A CURB AND STAND ON THE BRAKE WHILE PULLING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THIS WAS VERY FRIGHTENING AND DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND THE PEOPLE AROUND ME. *TR

2006 MUSTANG GT- FUEL SENDER NEEDS REPLACEMENT. TROUBLE CODE P0456 COMES UP. THE FUEL PUMP ON VEHICLES BUILT BEFORE JANUARY 1ST, 2006 HAD AN OVERSIZED ORIFICE AND WOULD CAUSE A LEAK IN THE EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM. THE FUEL PUMP ITSELF WILL NOT BE AT DANGER FOR A FAILURE ALTHOUGH WITH AN EVAP CODE YOU MAY LOSE FUEL ECONOMY DUE TO THE TANK NOT BEING PROPERLY PRESSURIZED. ALSO YOU WILL NOT PASS A 'SMOG' TEST WITH THIS CODE. *TR
