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 taken it to a dealership and told me its a known issue but they could not fix the issue for me. This has happenend in the past but now the car wont let me put more then a half tank everytime. I have tried to go to various gasoline stations all different brands to see if there are any differences but have not had any success.
Cannot easily put gas in tank. This just started occuring after having 80,000 +/- miles on vehicle. The dealer stated that this car had updated (remedy) tank installed during production, because Ford knew of problem on 2005s. Newer tank worked successfully for many miles. Gassing up is now too frustrating to deal with. I've been a Ford fan for my entire life, but this might change my mind.
Ford Mustang 2006 - can not put gas in gas tank. Will automatically shut off without putting gas in tank -- gas just spills onto your feet -- creating a safety hazard. Ford knows of this problem - there is a service bulletin & many complaints. Ford says there is "no fix". Suggests getting gas at different gas station. I have had car to Ford service 4 times -- so far spent $300 on supposed fixes. Now they say there is no fix. So - I have a car, with 20,000 miles on it, that I can not drive. Must stay close to home, just in case I can't get any gas into it. So far have found one gas station where I can put in gas in the car. Ford is obviously not working on this problem since it has been known for many years -- the copy of Ford service bulletin that I have is dated 2007 -- the service bulletin TSB 07-21-12 - states that the problem can be improved by using a different gas station. This is unacceptable. Local Ford dealer just shrugs their shoulders and gives me a copy of service bulletin that says there is no fix. Tired of having gas slosh onto my feet and the side of the car.
I have a 2006 Ford Mustang and I continuously have problems putting gas into the vehicle, even when it is near empty. The gas will splash back out and not go into the tank. This has happened numerous times and just as recent as June 6, 2010. I also had an incident around March of 2010 when I tried to stop for a stop light and my car accelerated while I was literally standing on the brake. I almost hit the car in front of me and was stopped by police for hazardous driving. When I explained what had happened, I did not receive a citation but had to go across a curb and stand on the brake while pulling the emergency brake to get the car to stop. This was very frightening and dangerous to myself and the people around me.
My 2006 Mustang has started only allowing 5-9 gallons of gas to be put in when it is warm outside. It starts spiting gas back out of the tank. I get gas all down the side of the car and all over me. This is very dangerous. We can get more gas in at night when it is cooler outside.
Purchased my 2006 Mustang gt in December of '06. It had approx. 59 miles on it. I have had nothing but problems with this car. The latest (and current) problem is that the car will not take any gas. The first time the problem occurred the dealership changed the fuel tank. The very first time I tried to fill up the same thing happened-it will not take the gas. The car has been sitting at the dealer since 10/25/07-today is the 28th of November. Ford has had several engineers out to look at the car and they can not resolve the problem.
Failure occurs everytime you attempt to fill the fuel tank. The vehicle will not take fuel. Ford has put out a TSB 07-21-12 to address the issue. If TSB does not solve the problem-there is no solution according to Ford.
My 2006 Mustang gt will not take fuel. It has had the tank replaced once. The very next time I need to fuel up, after getting the new tank, the same thing happened. It will not fuel up. The car has been at the dealers since then (10/24/07). The dealer had Ford engineers out to look at the car-they say it cannot be fixed. How do you manufacturer something that cannot be fixed?.
The contact owns a 2006 Ford Mustang. The contact is unable to put gasoline in the gas tank. The vehicle has been to the dealer three times where it currently remains. On the third trip to the dealer, the gas tank was replaced. However, it has failed again. The VIN, purchase date, and engine size were unknown. The current mileage is 17,000 and failure mileage was 3,000.
2006 Ford Mustang with gas filling problems* the vehicle no longer allows the correct flow of gas into the tank. When the gas hose and nozzle are inserted into the tank for filling, the gas would stop at less than 10 gallons and the handle on the gas hose would no longer engage. The dealer was able to duplicate the problem, but they didn't offer a fix for it. The dealer suggested inserting the gas nozzle at a sideways or upside-down angle in order to fill the tank. The consumer stated he tried that in past, which resulted in gasoline spilling.
: the contact stated while refueling at various gas stations, the pump shuts off or fuel spilled out onto the vehicle. The dealership determined there was a TSB that suggested a different gas station to be used to fill the tank.
2006 Ford Mustang fuel tank spills gasoline out when tank is only quarter full. The consumer was told to try another brand of gasoline but that did not alleviate the problem. Neither the dealer/manufacturer offered any other solutions to the problem.
The contact owns a 2006 Ford Mustang. Whenever the fuel tank was being filled, gasoline would spill out. The tank was not filled to capacity. The fuel nozzle stopped when the tank was half full, but gasoline still sprayed out of the tank. There were no prior warnings to this failure. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that this was a manufacturer design defect. The manufacturer is aware of the failure and engineers are conducting an evaluation. There is currently no remedy for the malfunction. The failure mileage was 1,000 and current mileage was 25,000. Updated 11/12/08 updated 11/13/08.
My 2006 Mustang was just taken in to the dealer for a problem with the gas tank. I have never been able to fill the tank without difficulty. The first few months I owned the vehicle I had to force gas into my tank because it would not fill completely. The nozzle would continually shut off and not fully fill the tank. At this point the problem has changed and now the nozzle will "not" shut off and it over flows *every* time I fill up. The dealer has recommends that I try different gas stations until I find one that I don't have a problem filling the tank at. This is not a fix and it is not convenient however I have tried all the Ford recommended gas stations bp, shell, amoco etc. This has not fixed the problem and the gas tank filling problem is an on going issue. Not only is this environmentally unsound but it is also dangerous and considering the cost of gas it is also expensive for me. I was told that there is no fix for my vehicle because my vehicle already has the revised design gas tank, however the problem I have still persists.
My brand new 2006 Ford Mustang gas tank is difficult and impossible to fill full. I took car to dealer and they said they can not repair it.
2006 Mustang gt built Jan 2006 has problems during fueling operations. Unable to get more than 1/2 to 3/4 full tank due to fuel pump cut-off. Most likely cause is defective design of "saddlebag" fuel tank and inadequate tank vent. This vehicle is equipped with the "revised" fuel system which has been subject to the same problems reported with the earlier design. This problem greatly diminishes enjoyment of vehicle and decreases the value as the car has a known problem.
Since the purchase of a 2006 Mustang gt I have experienced trouble in filling the gas tank. After so much gas has entered the tank the gas starts to spew back out all over the side of the vehicle. To me this creates a potential fire hazard if the gas were to spew back onto the person fueling the car. I have read other complaints to I know that I am not the only one experiencing this problem. I believe there should be some kind of recall and Ford should buy back all of these vehicles that aren't safe to fuel. No vehicle is safe to drive due to other humans on the road and sometimes factory error but there is no reason to not feel safe to fuel your vehicle.
