Where it shows how many miles it's digital and it constantly goes off. Smells of gasoline and like something is burning every time drive it.

Blown Ford spark plug! I drive a 2001 Ford Mustang gt, 4. 6l v8, and one night I was sitting at a red light and as soon as it turned green I stepped on the gas like any other light and I blew a spark plug. I bought the car used with 10k on it and it blew at 56k. I never replaced the plugs so im guessing they were factory installed. As of today I have replaced both heads but the damage from the blown spark plug seems to have affected my engine block itself. My guess is from driving the car off the road into a parking lot. Not having money to rebuild the engine I have since parked the car hoping Ford take responsibility for its mistake. I have read more and more how many Ford v8s tend to do this yet Ford acts like it doesn't exist. I called Ford about ordering new heads and they insisted there is no problem. I was raised on Fords but don't see me buying one ever again.
Consumer noticed both front tires were severely worn at 6616 miles. Vehicle taken to service dept and had both front tie rod ends replaced because they were loose. During a routine oil change, it was discovered that the tie rods were completely loose. There were new tires installed on the front of the vehicle as the others were completely worn. Also, the header in the motor failed.
Vehicle in cold weather will shut down at any time problem is worse in cold weather. Contacted dealer, and the dealer noted that they could not find the problem. Consumer stated that the vehicle stalled twice at red light, replaced baro, maf and reset kam but the problem is still there.
My v6 Mustang stalls while in motion causing the steering and brakes to freeze. This is a potentially deadly problem. It has happened four times; once at 30 mph, 60 mph, 45 mph, and 40 mph. The car only has 4500 miles on it. I also have a problem with a heater display light going out. Dealership can't identify the cause of either of these problems. It's been in the shop four times for the stallling and they've been able to determine nothing. I have anxiety while driving the vehicle as it stalls out at any time with no warning whatsoever. Very, very scary.
Vehicle stalled while driving at a moderate speed. The vehicle then came to an abrupt halt. Dealer was contacted, but could not duplicate the stalling problem.
