general problems of the 2006 Ford Mustang

While driving the car goes into limp mode randomly causing the rpm’s to fall. There is no power to get off the road safely and has almost caused an accident numerous times. I have had diagnostics ran and the mechanic has no clue what’s causing this. Ford forums are full of these Mustangs doing this. It is a huge safely risk!!!!.

Sudden failure of rear differential bearings.

Rear differential bears wore out.

In my Ford Mustang and many other Ford Mustang thta iv come across from the 2005-2007 era the automatic transmission always seems to have a slipping problem. When u stop and try to change gears the car stutters and even take up to 4 sec to change gear even when the driver only uses the car as an everyday comute. No racing, drifting or heave presseure put on the transmission yet they still go bad and start to slip consistantly even when the car doesnt have alot of miles on it. Most of the time less than 60,000.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford Mustang. While driving various speeds, the vehicle independently shifted gears without warning. In addition, the brake pedal was depressed, but failed to respond. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 139,000. The VIN was unavailable.

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.

I was at a stop getting ready to merge with traffic when the car just died. I restarted the car but it ran real ruff I barely got off the road. I had to towe the car home it's the throttle -by-wire this system needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt. Thanks lee.

2006 Ford Mustang. Consumer writes in regards to acceleration problems. The consumer stated on several occasions, the accelerator pedal independently engaged without contact, causing an extremely dangerous condition. Even after putting the vehicle in neutral, park or applying the parking brake, the engine continued to rev. On two occasions, it occurred at a stop sign, where the vehicle would not stop causing her to drive through the stop sign. The consumer also had a problem with the vehicle not responding when attempting to accelerate. Her daughter was driving when the incident occurred.

Happened 2 consecutive days. My wife was driving at around 30-40 miles per hour and all of a sudden it's like the car took off and began accelerating on its own. Breaking would not really slow it down. She was lucky enough to be able to throw the car in neutral ti shiite down but the vehicle kept revving. She had to shut it down and remove the key before it would stop. It's scary when it happens. It happened to me a day earlier at the time I thought it was a fluke. Hopfully too many people don't get killed before the NHTSA takes action. I see hundreds of complaints with the same issue on this vehicle.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis, who determined that the clutch would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 39,000.

While my car was in park, I switch gears and the gear became extremely stiff, and my car hesitated then jump into reverse. While driving on the highway going about 30-35 my car hesitates to go above the mileage, I took my car to get the transmission checked out but they told me I had no transmission problems. But my car is continuing to do the exact same thing more frequent.

The 2006 Ford Mustang v6 coupe seats pose a dangerous threat not only for the way they are bolted into the car's frame and rust away but the fact the sides of the seat cloth rips away, exposing the internal stuffing. As stuffing falls out, the seat's solid structure is left, which will cause a severe back injury if in a car accident. The 2006 Ford Mustang v6 coupe manuel transmission synchronizer poses a problem because the second gear no longer functions, posing a severe threat in switching gears and causing an accident. The suspension continuously causes the ball joints and control arm to damage yearly. The threat of a ball joint going out can cause a tire to detach and cause a serious wreck.

When at a complete stop, my foot on the brake and transmission in neutral, the engine revs up to 3500 rpm and rises from there. In order to stop it, I have to turn the ignition off. I took it to the dealer 3 different times. The first time they replaced the throttle body unit. Two weeks later it happened again. Ford said there is no codes in the system and they can't recreate the situation to verify. They also said that I might be touching the gas pedal and brake at the same time. The next time it happened I had a passenger verify that my feet and the floor mat was completely away from the gas pedal as the engine revved over 3500 rpm. The car operated normally for the last 4 months until this past week when it happened again. It's occurred around 20 times with 3 of them during driving where the car started to accelerate on it's own. Ford has said they can't do anything until a code shows up or a part actually breaks. Hopefully, I won't have an accident by that time.
