2006 Mustang gt- fuel sender needs replacement. Trouble code p0456 comes up. The fuel pump on vehicles built before January 1st, 2006 had an oversized orifice and would cause a leak in the evaporative system. The fuel pump itself will not be at danger for a failure although with an evap code you may lose fuel economy due to the tank not being properly pressurized. Also you will not pass a 'smog' test with this code.
2006 Mustang 4. 0 operated at 68 mph for 22 miles. Came to intersection and stopped. Accelerated while turning into traffic and vehicle hesitated and engine died. I was nearly hit by tractor trailer rig broadside at 50 + mph. Nhtsa and Ford motor CO. Are aware of this defect as per TSB 06-9-9 which advises to replace original fuel pump with 7r3z-9h307-c fuel pump at the expense of the vehicle owner. This is a safety issue not a TSB issue! someone will be killed by this defect! it also is not in safety's interest to expect vehicle owners to spend more than $300. 00 out of pocket for this repair when many owners will delay this expense. This defect should definitely be handled as a recall !.
The contact owns a 2006 Ford Mustang gt. The contact stated that she cannot place fuel in the vehicle. The fuel gauge indicates that there is a quarter tank of gas or a half tank of gas; however, the fuel pump will shut off and prevent her from placing any more fuel into the tank. When filling the tank, gasoline would also spit back out from the vehicle. The dealer stated that the slow fill was faulty. The manufacturer could not assist because there was a technical service bulletin produced for the failure and they knew how to perform the repair. The failure mileage was 33,000 and current mileage was 35,900.
