general problems of the 2004 Ford Mustang

Gas pedal got caught on a piece of carpet which caused my car to enter into an intersection on a red light and caused me to have an accident. Which then made my insurance jump. I remember this day very well it was the day before my birthday I came up to the red light and stopped the car seem to want to keep moving forward as I put my foot on the break it was still a red light my car was moving forward cars were beeping at me as I kept inching into the middle of the street my car was hit in the rear passenger side by another Mustang. I explain to the police officer that what seem to happen was my carpet seem to have gotten caught on the gas pedal. After later learning that there was a recall for that particular problem it wasn't re calling under my VIN. To this day I have an accident mark on my insurance which made my bill go up I don't think that this is fair considering that it was not my fault I tried showing the insurance company that there was a recall but it wasn't recalling under my VIN number.

Back in 2016 I was involved in an accident in which my gas pedal seemed to have got hung up on the carpet which caused my gas pedal to accelerate a little when I was at a red light causing me to have an accident. . I was coming to a stop at a red light when the pedal seemed to have got stuck. I had my foot on the brake but the car seemed to want to continue to move I just thought my accelerator was set a little high until saw that the pedal was getting caught on the carpet.

Back on March 1, 2016 I believe I was coming to a stop light I applied my foot on the break and the car seem to wanna keep inching forward inching forward I had at this time continued to press down on the break as soon as I knew it I was in the middle of the street practically during a red light and was sideswiped. After looking under to see what was causing that it seems to be my gas pedal was hung up on a piece of carpeting on the floor of the car causing my gas pedal to become stuck to that carpet I had to cut the piece of carpeting away from that to stop that from doing that later to find out there had been a recall when I took my car for the recall they told me that it was only on specific Mustangs I don't know why if my car was having the same issue the police officer said he was not giving me a ticket because he didn't feel that I was at fault but yet my insurance went up and paid the other driver for damages. Because it's been three years I will do my best to get the paperwork together.

For at least 5 years the convertible top leaks water into the back of the car when the top folds down into the back of the car, then this water leaks onto the back floor boards. Afraid it is going to rot out the floor boards. This needs to be taken care of. I know of many Ford Mustangs that do this.

I have a 2004 Mustang cobra with 18000 miles on the odometer. The issue I have is the the gas pedal getting stuck under the carpet of the car (not the removable floor mat, but the car actual carpet). When this happens the gas pedal is stuck to the floor, where I then am forced to turn off the car at speeds of 70 -80 miles an hour, extremely dangerous.

The problems I am having with my 2004 Mustang cobra is the gas pedal getting stuck under the carpet and under the removable floor mat at wot and an annoying vibration at higher highway speeds. Nothing scarier than having your car continue to accelerate after you get off the gas and the traffic ahead is stopped and you are approaching triple digit speeds. I have had to depress the clutch and put the transmission into neutral, while letting the motor over rev and hit the rev-limiter, until I can dislodge the pedal. This a very dangerous situation on such a high performance vehicle making well over 400 rwhp. The other problem is a continued vibration I have since the transmission was replaced. At speeds near 80 mph the vibration begins and will get progressively worse, sounding like the rear glass is going to vibrate out of the car. The dealer has replaced the driveshaft, but I suspect the pinion angle is incorrect and causing a binding condition in the rear end, which can lead to premature bearing failure in the rear end.

Have had numerous instances of the gas pedal sticking and having a problem with vibration. My 2004 Ford Mustang gt also has problems with turning over when warm. The car has to be cranked many times before it will start. Have had the into the Ford dealer over 5 times for the same problems with no resolution.
