general problems of the 2003 Ford Mustang

Because of Mustangs heavy doors the latch mechanism malfunctioned and the door came open on the highway. I realize the car is old but I have read up on other complaints on Mustangs. The door was fine and within the couple of hours of seeing the problem I was driving 70 on the highway. And I heard the door ding go off and something told me to grab the door. It was all I could do to get back home. Which has now led to other issues like the door sagging and the window is now messed up.

Date of incident. . . . Sometime over night 1/27/24. Vehicle fire I believe started in electrical components. Happened overnight while parked in front of home in parking lot melted left side of dash (all odometer area) and center console where ac controls and radio are. Shattered front windshield which was black with soot, as well as the plastic frame around front area of convertible top. Fire has somehow extinguished itself. Whole interior car full of soot. I had actually used my key fob to enter my car at which time I noticed what had happened & all the damage. I immediately disconnected my battery. The engine did not look damaged. The fire seemed to have stayed behind firewall. My insurance company totaled my car out due to the fact of it being an electrical cause to fire & even if it could've been repaired, was told parts (dash, odometer area which was completely melted) were obsolete. Regardless, the car now has posed a serious danger. I have photos & totaled decision by insurance company information, but have been unable to upload on your site. I believe you should really see the pictures. After incident, I searched to see if there had been any recalls. I found a couple incidents of this happening to others with their 2003 Mustangs & am wondering why this had never been investigated. If I had known about a problem of electrical fires, this car would not have been purchased in 2017. I don't understand why this problem wasn't researched. It could've been so much worse as I had a full tank of gas.

Was going 25 mph when spark plug blew out of my 2003 Ford Mustang. From talking with others this seems to be a known problem resulting from only 4 threads. I nearly had a wreck thinking and held up traffic in a very dangerous area as I was afraid to restart car.

I am writing this because of the research regarding the accelerator pedal interferance with the carpet with my 2003 Ford Mustang. The carpet frees itself from the holder and lodges itself between the pedals. To date there has not been any damages occured by this, however it does interefere with the gas pedal.
