1 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 08/30/2013

When trying to pump gas, the sensor cuts the flow of gas off at about one half gallon. If you remove the nozzle, gas splashes back and all over the person pumping, the car and the ground. When you continue to pump, the sensor cuts off every second. There is no way the tank can be filled in its entirety. I have had the gas set up rebuilt by my local mechanic, thinking something might be blocking the connection of gas entry to tank, but there was nothing and the problem was not resolved. I was then informed that this is common, that I must find a gas station that has a specific pump with no sensor (not a single station anywhere near my residence), I have to tilt the pump at a 90 degree angle. Well, I tried all of the suggestions, yet my car is still splashing gas, etc. This is a hazard! not only spilling gas on the ground and vehicle, but myself!! also, I cannot fill the tank, making a very dangerous situation in new england winters where you can get stranded for hours in your car in road accidents, conditions, etc. Please help! I do not think I should have to hunt down a specific gas station that doesn't exist, or spend more money trying to find someone who can fix this, or wear gasoline wherever I go. Please help!!!!!.

2 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 06/07/2012

I cannot pump a full tank of gas unless I stand there and pull the gas nozzle out every second!! it is driving me crazy! there has to be an issue with the fuel system and I have seen many complaints! Ford should fix and recall this issue!!.

3 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2010

2007 Ford Mustang will not fill up past 1/2 tank of fuel, the dealer states there is nothing wrong with the car and to take it to a different station. I've been to stations all over the west and rarely find one that will let me fill up even when running the pump at minimum while not fully engaging the pump into the filler. I've noticed that no pumps that have vapor recovery boots will fill the car up beyond 1/3 tank. Which pretty much rules out taking the car to California for any reason. There is obviously a major defect here that should be recalled!.

4 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 07/19/2009

Having problems trying to gas up my 2007 Mustang at least every 3rd or 4th fillup. No matter how much gas in the tank the pump clicks like when full but in fact is only half full. When tank is half full it clicks at 3/4 full. Tried every other means to fill but nothing works. Phoned my dealer, (violette motors in edmundston, nb. Canada) told me he never had any complaints on this subject. I told him to look at his TSB,s and he would surely see there are problems. He told me that his instructions were to tell me to gas up elsewhere.

5 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 01/02/2009

Fuel filling is awkward to say the least! I can only fill to just over half a tank of fuel then the clicker forces me to stop. The owners website claim this is a common problem for 2007 Mustangs and that we should try another gas station with a less sensitive filler or turn the nozzle to the 2 o clock position. Turning the nozzle does work from time to time but the problem still remains. Why aren't the dealers acknowledging this is a problem a provide a suitable solution? this won't do much for marketing or future sales if this is left!.

6 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 07/30/2008

On my 2007 Mustang if I have a half a tank or more of gas I can not put more gas in about 9 out of 10 times. The dealer and Ford headquarters told me there's nothing they can or will do to fix my car! I have had this problem ever since I bought the car new>.

7 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 12/10/2007

I own a 2007 Mustang and everytime I fuel up, it only allowed me to put 1/2 to 2/4 tank full and they is shuts off the gas pump. I have take the car to my local dealer and they told me they could not find anything wrong with it and to advised to try different gas stations. This is a continuing problem since I purchased the car new in Dec of 2007.

8 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2007

2007 Ford Mustang: I have had many problems while trying to fill tank with fuel. Happens more than not. While filling up pump clicks of like tank is full, however it is not. Can try several pumps at same gas station and keeps clicking off. Then just drive a short ways up the road and put another 5 gallons in. Just one example. After a few trips to the dealer, problem still occurs.

9 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 12/31/2006

I am having difficulty filling the gas tank on the 2007 Mustang. I had it to the dealer 3 times in the past 12 weeks. I tried contacting Ford directly and they continually referred me back to the dealer, where there was no resolution. I am in oklahoma and not sure what the lemon laws were there. I also have a seat which was broken and has been fixed twice.
