Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging Problems of Ford Mustang

There's a chronic hesitation when you push the accelerator from a yield/merge type situation at low-speed. It's not every time but many times. Today I was going around a car that was sitting in the road with it's flashers on (ie double parked) and there was a car in the other lane on the 2-lane one-way street and I stepped on the peddle to accelerate slightly and it totally choked and I thought I was going to get hit in the rear and then it kicked in. I noted this way back when I bought it and at that time I thought it had something to do with the gearing which it still could. I told service about the issue and I even took them for a drive but of course that time it didn't happen. I've tried over years to id the problem more but while I can see somewhat of a pattern it's not guaranteed. Although one of the most likely situations is going up a hill, turning slightly to the right while slowing for a yield sign but not stopping and then pushing the accelerator only to get a hiccup or choke or whatever you want to call it. There are also issues filling the tank because of a lack of enough space for fuel to replace air causing the self-shutoff of the pump to kick-in not filling your tank. I raise this up as this could be some type of pressurization consistency. There's also the aggressive accelerator where you push it a tiny bit and it wants to take off enough to squeal the tires sometimes.

Since about a year ago, November 2013, this vehicle has shown multiple issues. To start, it is an automatic 05 Mustang which, the more I read online, the more that I seem to find that many have these exact same or very similar issues. Initially the dash cluster (everything besides the tachometer) was not functioning properly. The speedometer would get stuck at 20 mph but still move acting as though the 20 mph was the 0 mph mark (so 35 mph = 15 mph). More recently the gas gauge has stopped working, it sits at empty even after plenty of gas has been put into it. The temperature gauge also gets stuck often, still moving as the speedometer does. Not too long after these issues started occurring, when I went to fill up the gas tank it wouldn't take the gas as it normally would. Sometimes only a couple dollars worth would be in before it clicked off. After paying closer attention I have also noticed sometimes gas actually splashes out when filling it up even though it is definitely not full. Much more recently the vehicle has has worrying issues. At one point while driving on the freeway at 70 mph the vehicle suddenly started to decelerate on its own, even while I was pressing on the gas pedal. I pulled it off to the side, shut it off completely, started it up and it was as though nothing happened. Ever since that incident though it has been running a bit louder and now it seems a possible misfire is happening with one of the cylinders occasionally. The vehicle has a delayed and very hard shift from third to fourth gear. It is not as though the vehicle has not been taken care of, and for a 2005 the mileage is pretty low still. At least one or two of these issues seem to be a safety concern, and it is very obvious after researching online that these issues are prevalent in tons of these exact same vehicles.

Plactic cover on elbow holds water/dust which doesnt drain leaving filler arm constantly damp rusting through pipe leaking gas all over when filling tank. . . . Bad design and thought put into this. Item should be recalled, cost to replace at any repair shop is upward of $800. 00 canadian.

Having problems filling up the gas tank to my Mustang. Sometimes, I can only fill it up with a few gallons before it shuts off and going to different stations doesn't help. Dealer said to try other stations but to no avail that did not work. I can still only fill my tank up about 1/2 way and that can take so long to do.

I got the car @42,500 or so miles. There was a bad puddle of water after it rained. Near the Smart junction box is where it appears to be getting in. I have read alot of complaints online about this issue. For sure a defect that Ford should fix. . . As another person on this site mentioned, I am sure that major electrical damage could potentially take place (I forced myself to cover the car at all times). The gas tank is difficult to fill up all the way. I cannot simply pull the gas pump "trigger" and lock it. The pump stops, due to the trigger being "tripped" (as if the tank was full). So I have to hold down the trigger again (the fuel pump usually gets "triggered" 20 times per every filling of the tank). Super annoying and a known defect that needs a new gas tank to be corrected. How does Ford not correct this?.

I went to fill up my car (gas) and I smelled more gas than what I would consider normal. I looked on the ground under the car and there was a pool of gas, and it was leaking as I was filling. I stopped filling the tank and asked the attendant for something to clean up the gas. When I got the car home, I looked underneath and upon close inspection found the filler neck was where the problem was. There is a piece of plastic surrounding the filler neck, which holds moisture and rusts the metal filler neck. This is the same problem I had with another car I owned!!! same year. I asked several people I know who own Mustangs, and each and every one of them had to have the same part replaced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you search online, there are tons of articles and complaints about Mustangs from 99-2004 with the same problem. ! this is so dangerous, how come this hasn't been recalled?.

Fuel filler line has a plastic cover that traps dirt against the metal filler hose. This resulted in the metal filler hose rusting causing a hole in the line. When filling up with fuel the vehicle leaks fuel through this hole. When tank is full fuel leaks through this hole while driving.

Over time, the vehicle gas tank has developed a condition where filling up the tank prematurely causes the gas pump to shut off prior to the tank being full of gas. Typically after only a few seconds. If you try to engage the pump again, a buildup of pressure can cause gasoline to shoot back out of the tank and all over the ground and the person pumping gas. The only way around this is to fill the tank with the nozzle upside down. Somehow this disengages whatever safety mechanism the gas pump has, and allows the user to pump a full tank of gas. Ford even has a TSB related to this issue. It states something to the point of a design flaw in the gas tank. It's only remedy is to replace the tank, or they literally suggest going to a different gas station. Some pumps are different and that used to work, but at this point there is not pump that I do not encounter this issue with.

Takata recall as well as problems filling the gas tank. While stationary trying to pump gas in to the gas tank the gas pump will shut off after pumping no ore than 1/16 of a tank then requiring you to dribble gas in to the tank with the pump regularly shutting off every few seconds and never filling the tank with out the pump shutting off completely, and this happens at all pumps in every state and every brand of gas. Once you pump as much gas as the pump will allow you have to hold te throttle pedal down to the floor to get the car to start and then you have to feather the pedal to keep the engine running which causes the engine to race and is very dangerous.

1. Gas leaked badly from the top of gas tank when the tank is full at the gas station. . Tank can explode if there is any spark and subsequently the whole car. Very dangerous suitation for the driver and any passenger in the car. May cause fire and major catastroph for all the surroundings. 3. The jount between the fill line and the gas tank was leaking due to manufacturing defects. The jount was re-welded at the dealer shop and the leak stopped.
