Ignition Module Problems of Ford Mustang

I was driving on the highway at approximately 60 mph. Without any warning the horn started blowing. It startled me and the drivers of several of the automobiles near me. Apparently, other drivers thought there was some emergency. I took the next available exit from the highway and pulled over at a safe place. I turned the ignition off and the horn stopped blowing. I started the car and pulled onto the street and the horn again started blowing. After stopping and starting again, the horn stopped blowing. The next day I took the car to the Ford dealer. They indicated that everything was "working properly at this time". They said that the "most common part failure is the drivers side module to start. " the price quote was $1058. 48 to replace the air bag module. I have removed the horn relay temporarily, but I am fearful that possibly the air bag will deploy while I'm driving. It would seem that in any case, this is a dangerous situation. I would be interested in knowing if this is a problem for others and what if anything I should do about this.

A coil pack has failed four times in the last 3 months. When it starts going bad the car lurches (looses and regains power multiple times) when you are accellerating, and stalls when you decellerate. Both issues are safty issues as the loss of power when accellerating could cause a drivers timing to be bad (for instance when leaving a side street into on coming traffic), and the stalling cuts all of the power equipment. I have asked Ford to replace all of the coil packs now, instead of continuing to leave me in dangerous cituations, and they have not done so to date. As Ford doesn't pay for rental cars it is also getting real expensive for me to replace each coil pack when it goes out. The dealers service agent told me that this is a prevelent issue with Ford.

Used wrong key in ignition and it blew up the ignition system. Had key made at a local hardware store. After 4 weeks of Ford promising assistance-they denied it. Trying a wrong key should not cause the module and transceiver to go bad. Followed recovery procedure in owners manual but car still would not start. This could be a potentially dangerous situation. Ford should recall or at very least put warning on ignition.

I purchased this vehicle 10/7/99 and have been taking it in for service since 10/12/99 the dealership has not fixed any of the problems w/the car, in fact my car keeps getting worse. The roof its self leaks and while removing the headliner the dealership caused dents and creases in my roof. They still haven't repaired the dents or the leak. Also, the computer has been going out since day 1 causing a fire smell which the dealership said was the sparks hitting the catalitic converter and causing problems w/the transmission. The car spark knocks constantly, dies while driving, smells like its on fire and has a hard time shifting into gear. The dealership wants to "try to fix it " as they have tried for almost 2 years but any repairs they make will not be warrantied. That is unacceptable! I have contacted a local tv station, written a letter to Ford, talked to the dealership owner, called Ford customer service and filled out a Ford survey. After all of that, no one has been in contact with me.
