The check engine light comes on at the time of power lose on the highway traveling about 65 mpg. It only happens on the highway traveling at higher than 50 mpg. It doesn't happen on slower drives in the city. We be traveling on/or about 65mpg, than engine light comes on, then the engines feels like its looses power, power falls like your out of gas. We pull over, shutoff the engine , then start it up again. Check engine goes away for a while then comes back. We put it on the computer, and it brought up the code pin pointing the problem. Part #101104000997 needed to be replaced. I replaced it and the problem went away. Have you had any other mustangs that have the same problem? or is there a recall for this problem?.
When breaking vehicle accelerates in forward and reverse. October 2011, I was slowly backing and upon applying the brakes vehicle surged backward almost hitting two men directing me. The next day I carried vehicle to an open field and tried unsuccessfully to duplicare the problem. I assumed driver error. Several days later when braking going forward at about 25 mph the vehicle surged forward. Over the next year the defect was noticed in varing degrees. Four times when starting the engine with the brake pedal depressed the engine raced. April 2013 while slowly backing out of a parking space I braked to avoid a vehicle moving behind me. My vehicle surged backward almost hitting the vehicle behind me. Local dealer can find nothing wrong with vehicle.
