VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PCM MODULE/CRASH DATA REPORT SAYS THAT THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR WENT TO 100% WITH ACCELERATOR AT 60% AND THEN THE THROTTLE STAYED WIDE OPEN UNTIL ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS RELEASED TO APPROX 23% PERCENT. WHY IS THERE A 40% DIFFERENCE IN THE PCM DATA FROM ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION TO THE THROTTLE POSITION. AT THE TRIAL A GUY FROM FORD SAID THIS IS NORMAL AND THE THROTTLE IS DESIGNED THIS WAY. MY HUSBAND IS NOW ON HIS WAY TO PRISON. IS THIS TRUE AND CAN ANYONE HELP OR ADVISE US.

IN CITY TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT, WENT TO STEP ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE STARTED EXTREME SHAKING & THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. SHUT OFF THE ENGINE & RESTARTED IT.

HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, ADVISED SERVICE REP OF CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03 & WAS INFORMED THAT FORD WILL NOT HONOR THE PROGRAM FOR 2006 MUSTANG.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAR STARTED TO STALL WHILE IN MOTION, APPLIED GAS AND WAS OK. AT NEXT STOP LIGHT, THE CAR STALLED OUT. AFTER TRYING TO START A FEW TIMES WHICH IT DID BUT IMMEDIATELY STALLED OUT. AFTER SITTING A FEW MINUTES, IT STARTED OK AND WAS FINE. LEFT CAR AT DEALER FOR 1 WEEK, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ON 8/15/15, THE WRENCH CAME ON TWICE AND THEN THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT STAYED ON. THIS WAS AFTER A 215 MILLE DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE. RETURNED TO DEALER WHO NOW HAD COMPUTER CODES. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY NEEDED REPLACEMENT. PART LISTED ON BILL SAYS POTENTIOMETER FORD PART#6L2Z-9B989-D. THIS NOW EXPLAINS SUBTLE ACCELERATIONS THAT OCCURRED ON HIGHWAY WHEN IT WAS NOT ME APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
HESITATION IN GAS PEDAL/THROTTLE BODY. WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC I WOULD EASE DOWN ON GAS PEDAL WITH NO REACTION UNTIL ABOUT HALF THROTTLE AND THE CAR WOULD JUMP AT ABOUT HALF THROTTLE AND I WOULD THEN HAVE TO LET OFF GAS PEDAL AND REPEAT PROCESS UNTIL UP TO SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT THIS BECAME A RE-OCCURRING PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. EVERYONE I TALK TO ABOUT THIS SAYS IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL, 2005-2014 FORD MUSTANG. I HAVE 3 OF THEM AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

AIR BAGS
I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A RECALL (14V802) THE RECALL INDICATES THAT FRAGMENTS CAN STRIKE THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. FORD IS TELLING ME THAT THIS IS NOT THE RECALL WHICH HAS BEEN IN THE NEWS LATELY ABOUT THAT VERY SAME SYMPTOM EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DESERT FOR THE LAST 9 YEARS. I'M CONFUSED ABOUT WHICH RECALL QUALIFIES FOR THE PRIORITY REPAIR IF THIS ONE DOESN'T.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FORD MUSTANG IN 2006 NOTICED DAYS LATER HEAT COMING UP FROM THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. IT WAS EXTREME & I TOOK TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES IN THE FIRST 3 MONTHS, BUT FORD DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING WAS WRONG. I DON'T TAKE THE CAR OUT ON LONG TRIPS AS THE CAR HEATS UP TOO MUCH IN THE INTERIOR AND THE FLOOR BY MY FEET GETS TOO HOT FOR COMFORT. I HAVE ABOUT 25K MILES ON THE CAR AS I WILL ONLY TAKE IT ON SHORT LOCAL ROUTES. TWO YEARS AGO THE FUEL TANK STOPPED WORKING RIGHT. I BELIEVE IT IS THE VAPOR LOCK SYSTEM. I HAD AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE WITHIN 1 MONTH OF OWNING THE CAR. I REPLACED ABOUT 4 BATTERIES WITHIN 6 MONTHS & CONTACTED THE DEALER AT LEAST 6 TIMES. THEY THOUGHT TO REPLACE THE STEREO, BUT EVEN AFTER THAT WAS REPLACED I STILL HAD THE ISSUE. I WAS STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES BY A DEAD BATTERY. THE DEALER & CORP SAID THERE WAS NOT AN ISSUE - THAT I JUST WASN'T DRIVING THE CAR ENOUGH & SUGGESTED I GET A CHARGER. AFTER A NEW BATTERY, I'D DRIVER THE CAR EVERY DAY, BUT WITHIN A WEEK OUR TWO, I'D HAVE A DEAD BATTERY AGAIN. I ASKED CORP HOW MANY MILES MUST I BE REQUIRED TO DRIVE IN ORDER FOR MY CAR TO WORK & THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID SHE DIDN'T KNOW, BUT SHE KNEW IT HAD TO BE MORE THAN WHAT I WAS DRIVING. AFTER ABOUT 5 YEARS, I FOUND A FUSE "FIX" FOR THIS ISSUE (THANKS TO A AAA SERVICE PERSON WHO WAS REPLACING ANOTHER BATTERY) & NOW I AM ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR, BUT I STILL DON'T TRUST I WON'T BE STRANDED AGAIN. I STILL CAN'T TAKE IT MORE THAN 20 MILES WITHOUT THE HEAT ISSUE BEING A PROBLEM AND FILLING THE TANK IS AN ISSUE DUE TO WHAT I THINK IS A VAPOR LOCK PROBLEM LIKELY CAUSED BY THE HEAT ISSUE. I SOUGHT HELP FROM MY FORD DEALER & CORP, BUT I HAVEN'T HAD ANY OF THESE ISSUES TAKEN SERIOUSLY. TODAY, AFTER HEARING ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE HEAT ISSUE, I CALLED UP DEALER & CORP & THEY BOTH SAID THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE DONE AS MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL.

MY SON-IN-LAW BOUGHT A USED MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE FOR HIS SON. I HAD THE CAR INSPECTED AND FLUIDS CHANGED AS SOON AS I COULD AND DURING THE TIME ON THE RACK, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE FRAME STIFFENERS ON BOTH SIDE SHOWED SEVERE RUST TO THE POINT ONE WAS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH. THE STIFFENER HAS AN OPENING IN THE FRONT THAT ACCUMULATES WATER, SALT AND ROAD SLOP OVER TIME, BUT NO METHOD TO LET THIS MEMBER FLUSH ITSELF OR BE CLEANED ON THE INSIDE. THE SHOP INSTALLED TWO NEW STIFFENERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THEY CLOSED THE FRONT OPENING ENTRANCE TO THE STIFFENER WITH A SEALANT AND GAVE THE BARE METAL EXTERIOR TWO COATS OF CORROSION RESISTANT PAINT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE TRAVELING TO WORK I UNKNOWINGLY APPROACHED A PATCH OF BLACK ICE AT SPEED OF 35MPH. UPON REALIZING THE ROAD CONDITION I LIFTED THROTTLE TO COAST OVER THE ICE IN AN ATTEMPT TO SAFELY DECELERATE. THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED CAUSING AN UNCONTROLLABLE SLIDE. THE CAR ROTATED 90 DEGREES RIGHT BEFORE STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I MANEUVERED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO INSPECT FOR DAMAGE AND FIND THE CAUSE. THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE DISC WAS GLOWING RED. IT HAD UNKNOWINGLY BEEN DRAGGING. WHEN I LIFTED THROTTLE, THE ICY CONDITION IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DRAGGING PASSENGER REAR BRAKE CAUSED THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE TO LOCK UNEXPECTEDLY. THE CAR HAS A POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT DIFFERENTIAL, THIS CAUSED THE OPPOSITE WHEEL TO LOCK. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO BE UNCONTROLLABLE WHEN THROTTLE WAS NOT APPLIED ON ICY PATCHES OF ROAD, AT ANY SPEED. I SLOWLY NAVIGATED THE CAR TO A NEAR BY GAS STATION AND CALLED OFF FROM WORK. AFTER BECOMING AWARE OF THE CONDITION, I WAS ABLE TO VERY SLOWLY DRIVE THE CAR HOME. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THE SAME CONDITION THAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN FORD TSB 06-5-4 "PARK BRAKE CABLES THAT FREEZE IN COLD WEATHER DUE TO WATER INTRUSION, AND SUBSEQUENTLY LEAD TO DRAGGING REAR BRAKES" ARE ALSO CONDITIONS THAT IF UNKNOWINGLY DRIVEN IN, COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL WITH FATAL CONSEQUENCES TO THE DRIVER, OTHER DRIVERS, AND PEDESTRIANS. *TR

AIR BAGS
I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO ALERT THE NHTSA OF A AIR BAG SAFETY ISSUES IN MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG. RECENTLY A SAFETY DEFECT ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED ABOUT PARTICULAR MODELS OF VEHICLES THAT RECEIVED AIR BAGS FROM THE MANUFACTURER TAKATA. I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF DOING THE RESEARCH ON THE ISSUES OF WHICH THE AIR BAG WHEN DEPLOYED CAN SEND SHARDS OF METAL OR SHRAPNEL INTO THE UPPER REGION OF BOTH THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER. MY YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, AND TIME-FRAME OF VEHICLE PURCHASED MATCHED WITH THE VEHICLES IDENTIFIED AS BEING AFFECTED WITH ONE EXCEPTION, MY VEHICLE RESIDES IN A COLD WEATHER STATE. AS MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANT I CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY TO HAVE THE ISSUE REMEDIED TO BE RELAYED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN. PRIMARILY THE CLAIM THAT LIVING SOMEPLACE WITH COLD WEATHER SOMEHOW PROTECTS ME FROM EXPERIENCING THIS DEADLY ISSUE. TO NOTE. COLORADO IS A STATE THAT DOES IN FACT REACH TEMPERATURES BETWEEN THE MONTHS OF MAY-OCTOBER OF 100+ DEGREES ON A MULTIPLE DAY BASIS(PLEASE REVIEW WEATHER REPORTS). IN ADDITION DEPENDING ON WHERE IN COLORADO YOU ARE LOCATED THERE ARE AREAS OF HUMID + HOT WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT YOU CAN EXPERIENCE. I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO HAVE MY AIR BAG DISABLED BY FORD TO PROTECT MY WELL BEING UNTIL A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION IS COMPLETED, NOR HAS FORD REACHED OUT TO CONSUMERS TO IDENTIFY WHAT STEPS THEY ARE TAKING TO ENSURE THEIR SAFETY. MY WELL BEING IS NOT BEING PROTECTED AS IT SHOULD AND I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THE ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE AIR BAGS IN MY VEHICLE REMOVED AND REPLACED TO ENSURE THAT NOTHING AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL OCCURS. WHILE THE MANUFACTURERS OF THE AIR BAG AND/OR CAR COMPANY'S MAY NOT FEEL I AM AT RISK, THEY ARE NOT DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH WHAT EQUATES TO A POTENTIAL IED IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND I SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO TAKE THAT CHANCE. *TR
