general problems of the 2000 Ford Mustang

When engaging the vehicle into drive with the brake applied engine reeved and reached to 2500 rpms. As a result, vehicle surged forward.

Engine almost stalls when coming to a stop making the steering hard. This problem is well known, and should be a recall!! should look into idle air control valve (iac) as the possible cause.

Vehicle failed to start on several occasions; vehicle could only be operated with foot on the gas pedal at all times to allow fuel to flow; vehicle almost uncontrollable coming to a stop at red light when engine stalled; vehicle would not continue idling on a cold start. Per dealer, the iac valve needs replacing. . . Expected on Ford automobiles(mustangs and explorers, specifically).

The iac valve in my 2000 gt Mustang has gone bad. Causing problems with idle and cold startup. This seems to be a problem all across the board with many Mustang owners. This problem needs to be put into the light and a recall shoudl be made.

The iac valve keeps going bad in my 2000 Ford Mustang gt. I have had to have it replaced by my local shop for $300 each (including the tow to the shop since the car was inoperable).

Fter starting vehicle rpms go up and down. Then , when putting vehicle in reverse it launches backward very fast. Driver has to slam on brakes to stop vehicle.

Upon deceleration, vehicle drops idle to 400-500 rpm and fluctuates. Sometimes stalls, causing loss of power steering, and brakes. Vehicle was serviced, replaced idle air control valve, reducing intensity and frequency of problem, not correcting it. Car has been taken in for service three seperate times, twice they could find nothing wrong with the vehicle. Upon consulting with other 2000 Mustang gt owners, it is common problem. Some vehicles are still stalling heavily upon deceleration. If vehicle stalls, power brakes and steering are lost without warning, possible causing an accident. I am encouraging others with same problem to report to nhsta. This problem was reported to Ford consumer relations today, 5/10/01. This problem occurs on 99-2000 Mustang gt with manual transmission.

Car stalls after putting in the clutch or shifting to neutral sometimes. I lose all power steering and brakes causing me to miss stop signs, cannot corner due to loss of steering etc. Ford knows it has a problem with 1999 and 2000 Mustang gt but has no fix and is telling the dealers to do nothing!!!!! my family's and my life are in danger and I feel as though this should come under the lemon law. It does not happen everytime but the car cannot find it's idle speed until the car is at a dead stop. Sometimes it goes to 1000 rpm and sometimes as low as 400 rpm at which time it stalls.
