I purchased my 2005 Ford Mustang v6 automatic transmission in July of 2016. At the time of purchase everything seemed to be working fine but about a month later I noticed the fuel gauge was sitting at e so I attempted to fill it thinking I had an empty tank which meant I should have been able to put 14-16 gallons in and as I was refueling I noticed it kept shutting off even though I had just started the pump eventually I got it filled and only put in about 6 gallons which I thought was odd but I went with it and got back in my car started it up and noticed that the gauge was still sitting at e at that point I knew something was wrong but I figured it could wait since I knew how far I could potentially go on a full tank but then after I left and headed for home I noticed that my speedometer said I was going 60 but everyone was blowing past me at least 10mph faster when the speed limit was 60. So I pulled over and noticed that at a stop the speedometer came to rest at 35mph I was able to fix it but it kept happening I was lucky enough that I didnt get pulled over because I had no idea how fast I was going. Then for a while that stopped happening but every now and then and at an increasing rate the engine keeps stalling like its not getting enough fuel when I stop at an intersection or stop sign even though I had just filled the fuel tank the day before and hadn't driven more than 50 miles. The mileage at the time of the incidents beginnings was ~24,000 miles the current mileage is 34,000 as of 5/15/17.
When trying to fill the gas tank fuel backed out of the filler tube and would not enter the tank. Gas spilled out onto the ground.
Automatictransmission has trouble shifting into low gear. Doesn't want to accelerate after stopping. Sounds as if it is stuck in a gear. Have read many complaints about this online and Ford just claims it isn't their problem. Also, all gauges quit working at approx 70,000 miles. Fuel system is terrible. Will not pump gas past half a tank and spits gas back out while pumping like its full. Causes pump to constantly shut off. All of these are incredibly dangerous and makes this car unsafe to drive.
Our 2005 Ford Mustang v6 started showing no fuel on the gauge approximated in June of 2013. At first it was random but now it never shows gas in the tank even when the tank is full. We keep track of the miles and keep it filled because we have no gauge. As of March 2014 the car has a check engine light on and has started to stop when at intersections. It acts like it has no gas. It is frightening when your car is sitting in busy traffic and won't move. So far it has started up after a few tries. We are very concerned after reading other Mustang owners have the same problem and Ford has done nothing to recall or try to help owners fix this issue.
Dash cluster stops working no fuel, temp, no speed. Sometimes everything stops working. If I restart car it seems to reset its self. When trying to fill up gas tank it won't allow fuel to go in shuts pump off splashes out, found that if I hold fuel nozzle upside down I can get some gas in but takes about 10-15 mins to fill tank. These problems occur every week. I have not received notice yet of recall for airbag. Ford should recall gas tank problem and dash clusters seems like 2005 years have issues!.

This has been and still is a on going safety issue to me and the family. When driving, normally at a low speed the engine will "die", of course I lose all power to the steering, braking, etc. I make an attempt to start it, it will start but, when I try to move the vehicle, it dies again. This has happen to me in the middle of intersections, when I pull up to a red light, or behind a vehicle. I have no forwarning of the event about to take place. Two weeks ago it occurred when my wife was driving and it took her about 40 minutes to get the car running. And yesterday while I was driving, after leaving my garage and drove less than 1/2 mile, the car stopped running, and I traveled about 2 miles and it stopped at least 5 times before I could park. We went shopping and came back out and it started and gave me no problem getting home. I have had it in the shop, r&r fuel tank, replaced fuel level sensor. Was told by one of the technicians I should treat the fuel at lease every two tank fill ups. My concern is that this is going to occur and cause an accident and injury my family and/or other drivers. I have contacted Ford and have been informed there is no recalls against the VIN number. I can not believe I am the only Mustang owner that is having the problem.
I was driving at night at around 30mph when everything electrical went dead in my car including headlights and dashboard but the engine was still running. I was able to drive the car home but could not start it the next morning. Had to flat bed it to the dealership where they told me the whole computer system failed and had to be replaced. This happened 3 more time since then. Each time I was charged $3000 to have it replaced. It shouldn't happen once let alone 3 times. Another recent problem, my engine caught fire causing everything on the left side of my car to be replaced. Ford denied any "real problems they could find". Also had my gas tank replaced twice because it wouldn't fill up. And to add to everything, my gearshift needs to be replaced because a little plastic piece that hides the holes when u shift up or down, broke. $600 estimate at Ford. As well as my engine smoking after driving for 2 hours at 65-70 mph. Do not buy a Ford. Iv'e spent over $12k fixing the problems that I never caused. Ford refused to pay a dime or take any responsibility. Too many problems causing unsafe situations for me as well as other drivers and pedestrians around me. ## VIN failed ##.
Unable to fill fuel tank. Pump kicks off after a few seconds and will not fill tank. Dealer replaced gas tank per Ford tech line. Problem was gone for about 1 month now having trouble again at certain gas stations. Dealer called Ford tech line again and was told that I would have to use gas stations that worked for filling gas tank and also was told the enginers at Ford were no longer working on this issue. There is another person in the area with the same car having the same problem. If you would like his information please contact me.
