general problems of the 2006 Ford Mustang

The "well" underneath the windshield became clogged with debris, causing water to back up through the a/c vents into the car, damaging the electrical equipment. There are no instructions in the manual related to servicing this part of the car. Additionally, the door handles can become "stuck" in the open position without the driver noticing because the door still closes; however, the doors may come back open when the vehicle is operated.

The speedometer, tachometer, rpm, gas gauge and probably cool/heat gauge aren't working. I see a lot of people complaining of the same issues with the model year online. What can be done to fix them? I just bought the car yesterday and spotted it as I was driving car home.

When I try to put gas in my car the car will only allow me to put half of a tank in the car and I have to force it to take more which as cause the gasoline to overflow even when the tank is not full. I have tried taking it to various gasoline stations all different brands to see if there are any differences but have not had any success. Also the vehicle is staionary. This originally happen in 2019 but it has happen every time since then. Also my reverse light will not turn off for some reason. Don't know why.

I bought a 2006 Mustang convertible for my wife on her 40th birthday. We store the car every winter and bring the battery into the home. Car has 40k miles. 6 years ago we began experiencing amperage draw while the vehicle is off. I have went through 4 batteries, 1 alternator, several flat bed truck tows, and weeks into service at my local Ford dealer - only to have the dealership continue to tell me how difficult it is to find 'parasitic' amp draw because it is intermittent. My wife has had it being stuck and now afraid to drive the car, and contemplating to get rid of it. I work for a major tier 1 automotive supplier in engineering and know how my company pays special attention to NHTSA complaints and investigations relating to our products. I am hopeful that Ford engineering will get a hold of me and get this right before I take the Mustang to the scrap yard!.

For about 3 years, constant problem with water leaking onto my passenger floor board. I have to put plastic bags outside the windshield underneath the wipers every time it rains. This doesn't keep all the rain from coming in but it helps. I can no longer go through a car wash because it floods the inside of my car. I now have a plastic bucket on the passenger floor board in case it rains while I am driving so the interior doesn't get flooded. There is now a mildew smell in my car. There have been many complaints about this so it is ridiculous that we consumers have to foot the bill for an issue that Ford has known about for a long time. The last time I checked with a dealer a few years ago they said it would cost approx. $800-900 to try to fix; I'm sure some people have an extra grand laying around but I sure don't. Ford needs to issue a recall on this issue!! it is a safety as well as a health hazard, especially if people have small children. I am the second owner of the car and it started at about 70,000 miles.

For a while now I have been experiencing after rain - water flowing through the passenger side firewall and along the passenger side kick board where the Smart conjunction box (fuse box) is. I have taken it to a Ford dealer who said he didn't know what I was talking about and would be $95. 00 to start looking in to what the problem is. This past Saturday, I parked my vehicle the key was stuck in the ignition and the car will not shift out of park. After searching online it seems this issue can be directly related to water damage. Water seeping in to the fuse box. I also found online where there are a number of model years that have had this issue. Now I am going to be stuck with a gigantic repair bill for a design flaw that Ford knows about and could of issued a recall for.

In city traffic at a stop light, went to step on the gas to accelerate, the engine started extreme shaking & the car would not go. Shut off the engine & restarted it. The wrench light & check engine light came on the dashboard and car went into limp mode & lost all acceleration. After multiple attempts at restarting, the car was not drivable. Had the car towed to the dealership, advised service rep of consumer satisfaction program 13n03 & was informed that Ford will not honor the program for 2006 Mustang.

Takara airbags never deployed.

P0463 fuel sending unit and fuel gauge.

Car suddenly went into limp mode, no reason. Just started it up one day and it just did not want to move. No one knows how to get it out of the mode. Many mechanics have tried with no luck. Now a mechanic says I have a faulty computer. 3 years of it acting this way. . Computer diagnosis showed many things messed up, even after replacing all of those (and I am sure some were uneeded) the car is still in limp mode, has no power at all and has been basically down for 3 years. Beautiful lawn ornament but it being all I have left of my late husband, I'm not happy it just sits there. No mechanic wants to even touch it!.

A few weekends ago I purchased a very nice looking 06 Mustang gt with 87,000 (apx) miles. Car had just been cleaned up very nicely and looked like a good deal. On the way home I took it through the car wash and came to discover why it had been so cleaned out. Water began pouring in under the passenger side glove compartment. Like a water fall. The water didn't stop until there was a good 4 inches on the floor. What a nightmare. The water smelled terrible. I smell a awful mold/mildew smell now that won't go away. There were small electrical issues at the time that seem to have cleared up. . . For now. An internet search revealed the drainage holes under the cowl were plugged and an investigation verified the problem. Clearing of the drainage holes took only a few minutes, but I fear the damage may be there and will cause serious issues in the future if the wires should ever rust. An electrical failure is scary. Electrical components control. . Well. . The entire car. Cruse control, windows, anti-lock brakes, air bags, etc. I'd hate my air bags to deploy while driving. And the mold in the carpet can't be healthy either. Ford needs to acknowledge this problem and repair these vehicles at no cost to the consumer. This is not only an inconvenience, but the electrical aspect of the situation makes this an extremely dangerous gamble. When this car is paid off, I'm getting a different summertime fun car, and it won't be another Ford. Unless Ford takes responsibility for the issue.

During rain or rinsing of car wash, water leaks inside cabin. Water has started corrosion in small areas under dash where it has contacted wires.

My car idles uncontrollable and jerks whenever it is driven. If I stop or drive at slow speeds it will just stop running on its own. I simply restart it and it will go, but it will keep jerking and idling.

2006 Ford Mustang. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle broke down and computer recall issues. The consumer was informed a new computer was needed for the vehicle, and Ford had recalled it due to a known issue. However, the part was on back order. After 2 months of not having her vehicle, the part was still on back order. Ford informed the consumer, to have the vehicle towed to a Ford dealership. The part neeed was an ecu, the main computer.

Pcm module/crash data report says that the throttle position sensor went to 100% with accelerator at 60% and then the throttle stayed wide open until accelerator pedal was released to approx 23% percent. Why is there a 40% difference in the pcm data from accelerator pedal position to the throttle position. At the trial a guy from Ford said this is normal and the throttle is designed this way. My husband is now on his way to prison. Is this true and can anyone help or advise us.

2006 Ford Mustang has a windshield vent leak problem, the problem is that the windshield rain vent becomes clogged and drips water into the passengers side kick panel were there is a computer control box the connection become corroded and causes electrical problems. Ford is aware of the problem but refuses to issue a recall to correct the problem. This is a safety issues as it one could cause a fire, two could cause the car to loose power and therefore controlled braking or steering, simply replacing the parts dose nothing to prevent the safety issue. I am told this is a problem with the 2005, 2006, and 2007 Mustangs.

Water leaked into passenger floor board area. Got the sjb unit wet. Lights, door locks, radio started flickering on/off. No control over electrical items in car cabin. Seat belts seemed to tighten and loosen.

1. Trunk too high; back windows slope blind driver from street light reflection. 2. Hood and windshield designed deny driver from seeing the curves coming on side angles. (causing vehicle ending up on curve) 3. Abs auto activate when vehicle going over pothole, causing slipping and driver cannot control the braking distance. 4. Ac/heat fan auto activate without consent even when sitting on off. I have a v6, 2006 Mustang. The safety issue that I have is the fact that the design of the vehicle that jeopardizing the children under 3 feet tall. : their trunk are too high and the slanted mirror block visibility. At night time backing out is very hard and there are many blind spots. I have backed up into another car already due to the poor visibility and light reflection: back window design with an angle that blind drivers when night light hits. The owner and I settled in cash. The front hood of the vehicle center line formed an upside down v-shape whereas it highest peak is in the middle and at night time driving it has limited my viewing ability: ended up on two curve, because the ceiling height were too low.

This is really unbelievable [and yes this is yet another leak thread]. I have been hawking the entire leak issue, and a member here in a recent post has identified the smoking gun - clear proof that Ford is hiding a known leak problem with a band-aid. Many have asked and wondered why a piece of white foam exists over the electrical box (sjb) within their passenger compartment side kick panel. Well, in response to one of the threads here, one of our members has now posted this: ". . . In Ford's factory service manual under the section on replacing the electrical box . . . (sjb) . . . Inside the passenger side kick panel, Ford refers to the foam sheet over the sjb as a "watershield" and cautions not to remove it when installing the new box . . . " if this is true, and it should be verified by someone with access to the manuals [which I do not have], here are the facts: Ford designs and builds a vehicle with an electrical box (sjb) located inside the passenger cabin of the vehicle. In fact, the sjb is nestled between the outer fender and the interior kick panel. But for some reason - clearly known to Ford - they find the need to include a foam "watershield" to protect the sjb from water infiltration. Certainly this is [xxx] product quality at it's finest, but it would seem that it is far more. It would appear that it is proof positive for those with the problem to demand that the national highway traffic safety administration (NHTSA) force a recall of the vehicle if only enoughowners notified NHTSA accordingly [another topic/strategy discussed on these forums]. It's black and white. The sn197 leaks, and Ford has know about it for a long time, and has yet to take appropriate action. And no; a TSB does not qualify. The manufacturer is responsible for fixing the vehicle. Writing a checklist - to be used only when a owner complains about the problem - is not the same as fixing the problem.
