We were driving on the freeway and the car started acting like it was running out off gas. The steering wheel jerked and the brakes locked up. We now know the problem occurs only when someone sits in the back seat behind the driver. We have duplicated the problem numerous times. Sitting it the back seat causes something to short out and the car dies. This was very dangerous in real driving conditions and we are lucky no one was hurt.

Recently purchased 2005 Ford Mustang and was told upon sale that there was a problem with the fuel gauge. I figured it would be easy enough to fix so wasn't really concerned. Now a week later I noticed the speedometer doesn't work as well. It sticks on 15 mph for periods of time or then will show at least 15 - 30 mph faster than I am actually going. I searched online for a fix and found thousands of threads of individuals with the exact same issue and even copies of letters sent to owner stating that there wasn't a recall because it's not a safety concern. I bought this car for my daughter. Running out of gas late at night because her fuel gauge is broken is a safety issue. Sure can she write down mileage every time she gets gas, yes. But after reading so many comments by so many people it seems as if this issue should be resolved by Ford. Seems to be isolated on the 2005 only. In addition not know your speed limit is also a safety concern and also a financial concern should you get pulled over having no idea how fast you are driving. Its seems as if the entire cluster of gauges are faulty and need to be addressed. Your response or help in getting Ford to rectify is greatly appreciated.

Gas gauge erratic. Then failed last August. Ford says must replace entire cluster at cost of $450-650 plus labor this seems to be a common problem on this model. Only 45000 miles on this car. Cost seems excessive. What is Ford doing to back this up?.

First the gas gauge hand would stay on empty even when filling up or it would go straight down way past the full mark. Never know how much gas I have. Now the speedometer is not working properly. It will either stay at 0mph while I'm driving or say I'm going 20-30mph when the car is shut off and not even running. At times it says I'm going 110mph when I'm driving through town which is a 35mph and clearly I am not driving 110mph. I find this to be a great hazard to other drivers since I never know how fast I'm going. After doing internet research it seems many Mustang owners have this same issue. I feel that having a defective speedometer is a safety hazard that needs to be addressed if safety is really important to the NHTSA.

The motorcraft fuel filter on my 2002 Ford Mustang cracked at the seam where the inlet nipple is attached to the body of the filter. Gasoline was spraying out of the crack and leaking on the ground. The wynn filter I purchased to replace it with uses a one piece filter body which is much safer. Has anyone else reported the filters breaking and leaking?.

I started the car up to drive out of the grocery parking lot and the car was sputtering. When I pulled onto the main highway it sputtered and completely stopped running. I coasted to the side of the road where it failed to restart.

Gauge cluster not operational. Speedometer inaccurate. While sitting at a stand still will read 70 mph, or other measurements. Tachometer not functioning a majority of the time. Sits below 0 at all times of operation.

During rain, the entire electrical system shut down. Radio, windows, headlights, taillights, turn signals, hazards, door locks, keyfob, fuel gauge, oil pressure, coolant temperature gauge, hand brake indicator, traction control system, brake switch (for taking car out of park), starter (once the car is turned off, it will not start again). Any substantial rain results in water pooling in passenger side foot area, and saturation of fuse box area, which provides concerns for a vehicle-wide loss of electrical power and brake/steering control. I have looked at several online owners' forums and there are numerous cases of this commonly-documented safety problem. I have had the vehicle in for this exact issue before and the problem could not be located (or reproduced)during rain, the entire electrical system shut down.

So I thought I had a simple thermostat issue. Went to change the thermostat and noticed the manifold housing (plastic) had a nice crack in it. When doing research on this, I noticed there have been numerous complaints/instances of this happening to other people. Now I am in the process of finding a new intake manifold and will have to pay to have it installed. This seems to be an issue that the department of transportation should be involved in. Poor manufacture design with numerous incidents of failure that result in unnecessary high repair costs placed on the consumer. I am the original owner of this vehicle and think it is rediculous!.

The engine on my 2007 Ford Mustang was revving high when I started the vehicle. When I put it into drive, the vehicle took off on me hitting another vehicle and crashing through a wall accross from the spot I was parked in. This unintended acceleration has not happened prior to this incident but the vehicle only had 5,075 miles on it.

Failure of instrument cluster and water leak in passenger side foot well. Speedometer non-functioning, fuel indicator non-functioning, and engine temperature gauge non-functioning. Provides serious safety hazard without knowing vehicle speed. Any substantial rain results in water pooling in passenger side foot area, and saturation of fuse box area, which provides concerns for a vehicle-wide loss of electrical power and brake/steering control. I have looked at several online owners' forums and there are numerous cases of this commonly-documented safety problem, but Ford motor company refuses to address it until NHTSA issues a recall. I have called fmc, and they refused to address the issue.

My Ford Mustang has now 32k miles on it purchased new and only one owner/driver. All of my instrument are no longer working or work erratically. I am having problems knowing what speed I am traveling, if there is gas in my car. I am a woman who does not like to get stranded on the highway and this is now a big fear. I cannot tell what my speed is and therefore am very leary driving unless with traffic so I can keep with them. It is apparent alot of others are also complaining about the same problem to the point it starts to cause transmission problems. Is there something we can do to get this up as a recall, what options do we have? I cannot afford to replace all clusters for 600-700 dollars and find out it is still having problems. Any suggestions?.

My 2005 Mustang gt on occasions the fuel gauge will drop to empty and I will get a message of low fuel. At times it will go back to the normal position but most of the time I must restart the car for the fuel gauge to return to normal. This occurs perhaps 3-4 times per week.

Went to fill up with gas, noticed gas leak. Upon inspection found fuel filler neck rusted through to point where it became two pieces. Replaced fuel filler neck @ $230 plus labor, issue solved. 2001 Ford Mustang 3. 8l pictures available.

Car stalling while idling and decelerating.

Since it has gotten colder, the car start and you have to sit with your foot on the gas pedal for 5 or 10 mins or the car will stall out when you try to put out of where ever you are. Dangerous! mechanic can't seem to find the problem, they think its a sensor but are not sure.

I have a 2007 Ford Mustang 4. 0 v6 with approximately 42k miles. It has recently developed a very serious safety-related defect which the Ford dealership has refused to investigate. For no apparent reason, while stopped in traffic and with my foot firmly on the break pedal,, the engine will suddenly go full throttle. This forces the car to suddenly lunge forward as the rear tires start spinning, overriding the front breaks. This has caused me to come dangerously close to colliding with the vehicle in front of me or entering an intersection into oncoming traffic. The only recourse is to quickly turn off the ignition which seems to reset the problem. This happens with some regularity, approximately 2 to 3 times a day but is not reproducible on demand. The Ford dealership has offered to investigate, at my expense, but with no assurance that this problem would be corrected. I have had to alter the way that I drive to compensate for this by leaving additional space between my car and the one in front of me and at intersections. I fear that I may not be able to prevent my vehicle from becoming involved in an accident because of this defect.

I am not sure exactly who to send this to. I am contacting you about a vehicle safety issue. This is about a 2005 Ford Mustang. I have talked with the Ford dealer about this and they are unwilling to help. This is a known issue with this vehicle model according to the Ford dealer service dept and I would assume other Ford vehicles with this engine. This Mustang has 60,000 miles currently. This issue has been going on since approximately 45,000 miles. The issue, according to the dealer service dept, is with the engines throttle body. Apparently the throttle plate bushings become worn and allow the plate to become stuck shut. This causes the engine to become "stuck" at idle. This has resulted in multiple near miss vehicle accidents. This has happened quite often when trying to pull out into traffic from a stop and the car will not accelerate when the gas pedal is pushed, even to the floor. The car just idles into traffic or the engine dies completely adding the problem of no power steering. I have two vehicles that were affected by safety recall 07s57. This seems to me to be a similar safety issue and thought I should contact the NHTSA. I am not sure who to contact about this for help. If this is not the correct place to send this can you forward it to someone or reply to me with info. Thank you matt mitchell san antonio, TX.

My 2005 Ford Mustang shut totally off while traveling in the left lane of a busy interstate highway in nc (I-95n). I managed to get off road and had the car towed to a dealership near fayetteville, nc. The diagnosis was a bad mass air flow (maf) sensor. I feel that a vehicle should go into a fail-safe mode and not totally shut down due to a minor issue such as a bad maf sensor. Under slightly less favorable road/weather conditions, this dangerous vehicle fault could have resulted in an accident.

The fuel gauge began to act erratically before ceasing to work altogether. I took the car to fairway Ford (placentia, CA) and reported the problem. The service writer dismissed me by saying the repair was too costly and that there was no known universal problem with the 2005 v6 Ford Mustang. He did not document the problem reported on my service record. I have a colleague with the same year and model who has the same problem.

Just bought car 1 month ago and there are several technical service bulletins on my 2005 Ford Mustang gt. All of which my car is experiencing. Hesitation on acceleration , loud knocking noise from under hood at low speed turns , extremely difficult to pump gas , pre-mature automatic shut-off , most of which pose safety issues . I called then 48 hours after buying car to ask can I bring it back to repair which they quoted me 2000. 00 for a differential issue on a car that has 17,646 miles. Called Ford relations they said im responsible for all repair costs even though they are listed as manuf. Defects. . Since they are TSB and not "outstanding recalls" they can't help.
