Accelerator Stuck problems of the 2005 Ford Mustang

The gas pedal stick cause bye throttle body could not stop the car. Just about hit a car when I was driving . . . . .

Windshield wiper motor failure. First occurrence was sept 20 2007 was told the wiring had some corrosion on it and was replaced. March 27 2008 I experienced a stuck accelerator (another complaint filed) while getting on the freeway and car was towed to dealer, no wipers or radio after the accelerator problem. Dealer calls to say that the wiring had corrosion on it again. Ive had 3 batteries in it due to a leaking windshield that leaked onto the fuse box and was shorting everything out. Rear defroster repaired in April 2007 its not working properly again only clears part of the window. The car was bought new in 2005 and has 6,485 miles on it. The dealer gets to see the car almost everytime I drive it. This is getting ridiculous.

While getting on the freeway, the accelerator got stuck, tapped on the gas pedal several times to try and release it . . Still accelerating. Rpm's was buried in the red zone the whole time and you could smell something burning. Tried pressing on the brakes, brake pedal goes to the floor with no results. I was able to get off to the berm on the freeway, shut the car off and coast to a stop. The car was towed to the dealer who claims they could not find any error codes during diagnostics but could recreate the problem. They said it my floor mats had gotten up under there. Not buying it the 2004 Mustangs had the same problem.

On December 30, 2005, my daughter (age 17) was preparing to stop for a red light, as she hit the brakes, she stated: "the car accelerated (full throttle), and would not stop. She called us by phone (crying) and reported the incident. We asked if she was ok and whether she could drive the car. She said yes. She drove the car back home (approximately 3 miles) where we (father and mother) questioned her about the incident. She stated: "she was driving about 50 mph and when she applied the brakes the car accelerated. I was unable to stop and went through a red light". At this point, my wife and I believed she somehow hit both the brake and accelerator pedals simultaneously. She stated emphatically, this was not the case and she would never drive the vehicle again. On Monday January 2nd, at approximately 3:00 pm, I was driving the subject vehicle when the accelerator stuck full throttle. I pressed the brakes as hard as I could but the car continued to accelerate until I turned the ignition to the off position. I was in the center lane of the highway. I restarted the car (for fear of being run over by on-coming traffic, raining, decreased visibility), placed my foot on the brake, placed the car in gear to gather momentum, turned off the ignition, and rolled into a parking lot. The throttle remained open. I contacted Ford who picked up the vehicle. Team Ford could not find anything wrong with the vehicle and wanted to return the car. I refused to accept the car for the following reasons: - car failed in full-throttle position (fail-safe position should have been no-throttle) - error codes did not identify this condition - (Ford had not included this in their failure modes analysis) - replacement parts may have the same problem - - needed assurances from Ford in writing that the root cause to this problem had been identified and corrected. Ford corporate is sending an engineer to inspect the vehicle.

While pulling into a garage, the accelerator pedal became stuck, and the vehicle accelerated through the garage wall into the kitchen. The consumers daughter had to shift the vehicle into park to stop it. The consumers wife sustained injuries, and was transported to a local hospital. Dealer and manufacturer were notified.
