2 Car Stall problem

Rough or rolling idle. Vehicle stalls at stops or when clutch is depressed for gear-down in curves or turns. Loss of steering/braking control has resulted in repeated occurrences of travel left of center. Manufacturer has no diagnosis for concern. Pcm re-program attempts are short-term "fix". Problem recurs.

3 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 02/20/2001

Vehicle will intermittently stall when I am attempting to come to a stop. When this happens I lose my power brakes and this has caused me to have to swerve to avoid hitting the car in front of me. This has happened at least 6 times. Dealer replaced fuel pump the first time. The second time the idle air control valve. And third the same iac valve. It will still stall. I believe this to be a serious safety issue and am filing the lemon law.

4 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2000

The iac on my new Mustang went bad. At first Ford wouldn't cover it but the car was less than 90 days old. The one they installed went bad after 10 days also and so did the following one after 90 days. The last one went bad just before the warranty went up and now I keep a spare and change it about one every couple of years.

5 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 05/30/2000

Car kills out frequently when turning; when the car stalls out, the wheels lock up and nearly cause accidents. The stalling began immediately after we pruchased the vehicle. When I took it into the dealer, they stated there had been numerous complaints of the Mustang gt's killing out around corners. They have no fix at this point and have made no concern for my safety. I've nearly gotten into a hand full of accidents because of this "defect". I'm riding around in a brand new car that I consider very unsafe. You never know when it will stall out and lock up. The dealer initially stated they believed the stalls were caused by the hot weather. Well, it's now December in denver, CO and it's quite cold out and the car is still killing out around corners. Within the last 3 months, the problem is occuring even more frequently. The problem seems to be getting worse at time progresses. Ford has not offered me a replacement vehicle until they can figure out the problem. This is my only vehicle to and from work and I put my life in jeopardy everytime I drive it. My warranty expires at 36, 000 miles and I will be left to deal with this problem that I've had since day one of my purchase.
