2006 Ford Mustang Complaint Log

OK, 5/22/2015 WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AB, IT WAS REPLACED, TODAY THE CAR IS IN FOR THAT RECALL OF 2015?. WE RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THE PASSENGER AB IS RECALLED, HOWEVER FORD DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS. TODAY I CALLED FORD ABOUT THE DRIVERS SIDE, THEY HAD NO RECORD OF THE CAR BEING REPAIRED 5/2015. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY? WAS THE AB EVER FIXED?, ON THE DRIVERS. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THE CAR. THE PASSENGER SIDE COULD TAKE UP TO THE END OF DEC. 2017 TO BE REPLACED. THE COMPLAINT IS THE DRIVERS, THE REPLACEMENT BEING RECALLED!, PLUS FORD HAS NO RECORD OF THE 2015 REPLACEMENT. TODAY IT'S A GOSCH FORD, HAVING THE DRIVERS SIDE AB REPLACED. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS, AND JUST PURCHASED A F150, 2016 RECENTLY FROM GOSCH. I FEEL SOMEONE IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE REPAIR. I HAVE THE INVOICE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, AND IT STATED DRIVERS AB INFLATOR REPLACEMENT COMPLETED.

FRONT HOOD BUBBLING FROM CONTAMINATED WELDS AT FACTORY. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON AND DEVALUES THE CAR CONSIDERABLY.

TO WHOM IT CONCERNS, BACK IN OCTOBER OF 2013, I PURCHASED A USED, BUT VERY WELL KEPT, 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT PREMIUM. AFTER A YEAR OR SO, I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM THAT HAS LEFT ME AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. WHILE SLOWLY PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE TO PARK MY CAR, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP, ABOUT TO SHIFT INTO PARK, WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO THROTTLE UP OVERPOWERING THE BRAKES CAUSING THE BACK WHEELS TO SPIN AND THE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD. THE HARDER I PUSHED DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE MORE IT THROTTLED UP UNTIL IT SHOT ME UP AND OVER THE CEMENT WHEEL STOP IN FRONT OF THE PARKING STALL AND ONTO THE GRASS MEDIAN AT WHICH TIME I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND SLAMMED THE SHIFTER UP INTO PARK. I WAS DUMBFOUNDED! I THOUGHT MAYBE SOMEHOW WHEN MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WAS ALSO CATCHING THE SIDE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THUS MAKING IT SEEM LIKE THE HARDER I PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE MORE THE ENGINE WOULD THROTTLE UP AS WELL. I EVENTUALLY SHOOK IT OFF AND WENT ABOUT MY DAY. THREE DAYS LATER, WHILE PULLING INTO MY BROTHERS GARAGE AND AGAIN, COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT THROTTLED UP AGAIN THE SAME WAY AND MY BROTHER WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF THE CAR. HE THOUGHT I WAS PLAYING UNTIL HE SAW THE PANIC ON MY FACE. HE NO SOONER JUMPED OUT OF THE WAY WHEN THE CAR SHOT FORWARD ALMOST HITTING HIM! THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN NEVER KNOWING WHEN OR WHERE. IT ALSO HAS DONE THIS WHILE JUST SLOWING DOWN TO ALMOST A STOP. I CONTACTED FORD WHO CLAIMED IGNORANCE AND WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP. LOOKED ONLINE FOR OTHERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF POSTS, EVEN LAW SUITES AGAINST FORD. I NOTICED PEOPLE DESCRIBING THE ACCELERATOR STICKING OR GOING TO THE FLOOR. THAT CAN'T HAPPEN, THERE'S NO CABLE CONNECTION TO THE THROTTLE. ELECTRICAL OR COMPUTER DEFECT IN FORD'S DRIVE BY WIRE SYSTEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED! HELP!

WHILE TRAVELING TO WORK I UNKNOWINGLY APPROACHED A PATCH OF BLACK ICE AT SPEED OF 35MPH. UPON REALIZING THE ROAD CONDITION I LIFTED THROTTLE TO COAST OVER THE ICE IN AN ATTEMPT TO SAFELY DECELERATE. THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED CAUSING AN UNCONTROLLABLE SLIDE. THE CAR ROTATED 90 DEGREES RIGHT BEFORE STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I MANEUVERED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO INSPECT FOR DAMAGE AND FIND THE CAUSE. THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE DISC WAS GLOWING RED. IT HAD UNKNOWINGLY BEEN DRAGGING. WHEN I LIFTED THROTTLE, THE ICY CONDITION IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DRAGGING PASSENGER REAR BRAKE CAUSED THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE TO LOCK UNEXPECTEDLY. THE CAR HAS A POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT DIFFERENTIAL, THIS CAUSED THE OPPOSITE WHEEL TO LOCK. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO BE UNCONTROLLABLE WHEN THROTTLE WAS NOT APPLIED ON ICY PATCHES OF ROAD, AT ANY SPEED. I SLOWLY NAVIGATED THE CAR TO A NEAR BY GAS STATION AND CALLED OFF FROM WORK. AFTER BECOMING AWARE OF THE CONDITION, I WAS ABLE TO VERY SLOWLY DRIVE THE CAR HOME. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THE SAME CONDITION THAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN FORD TSB 06-5-4 "PARK BRAKE CABLES THAT FREEZE IN COLD WEATHER DUE TO WATER INTRUSION, AND SUBSEQUENTLY LEAD TO DRAGGING REAR BRAKES" ARE ALSO CONDITIONS THAT IF UNKNOWINGLY DRIVEN IN, COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL WITH FATAL CONSEQUENCES TO THE DRIVER, OTHER DRIVERS, AND PEDESTRIANS. *TR

I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO ALERT THE NHTSA OF A AIR BAG SAFETY ISSUES IN MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG. RECENTLY A SAFETY DEFECT ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED ABOUT PARTICULAR MODELS OF VEHICLES THAT RECEIVED AIR BAGS FROM THE MANUFACTURER TAKATA. I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF DOING THE RESEARCH ON THE ISSUES OF WHICH THE AIR BAG WHEN DEPLOYED CAN SEND SHARDS OF METAL OR SHRAPNEL INTO THE UPPER REGION OF BOTH THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER. MY YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, AND TIME-FRAME OF VEHICLE PURCHASED MATCHED WITH THE VEHICLES IDENTIFIED AS BEING AFFECTED WITH ONE EXCEPTION, MY VEHICLE RESIDES IN A COLD WEATHER STATE. AS MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANT I CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY TO HAVE THE ISSUE REMEDIED TO BE RELAYED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN. PRIMARILY THE CLAIM THAT LIVING SOMEPLACE WITH COLD WEATHER SOMEHOW PROTECTS ME FROM EXPERIENCING THIS DEADLY ISSUE. TO NOTE. COLORADO IS A STATE THAT DOES IN FACT REACH TEMPERATURES BETWEEN THE MONTHS OF MAY-OCTOBER OF 100+ DEGREES ON A MULTIPLE DAY BASIS(PLEASE REVIEW WEATHER REPORTS). IN ADDITION DEPENDING ON WHERE IN COLORADO YOU ARE LOCATED THERE ARE AREAS OF HUMID + HOT WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT YOU CAN EXPERIENCE. I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO HAVE MY AIR BAG DISABLED BY FORD TO PROTECT MY WELL BEING UNTIL A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION IS COMPLETED, NOR HAS FORD REACHED OUT TO CONSUMERS TO IDENTIFY WHAT STEPS THEY ARE TAKING TO ENSURE THEIR SAFETY. MY WELL BEING IS NOT BEING PROTECTED AS IT SHOULD AND I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THE ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE AIR BAGS IN MY VEHICLE REMOVED AND REPLACED TO ENSURE THAT NOTHING AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL OCCURS. WHILE THE MANUFACTURERS OF THE AIR BAG AND/OR CAR COMPANY'S MAY NOT FEEL I AM AT RISK, THEY ARE NOT DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH WHAT EQUATES TO A POTENTIAL IED IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND I SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO TAKE THAT CHANCE. *TR

IT HAS BEEN 3 YEARS SINCE I INITIALLY RECEIVED THE RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. MY WIFE DRIVES THE CAR WITH CHILDREN OFTEN SEATED IN THE AFFECTED PASSENGER SEAT.

"TAKATA RECALL" FORD DEALERSHIP CLAIM THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THESE PARTS TO REPLACE THE RECALLED AIRBAGS. FORD HAS SENT A LETTER STATING THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE BEING MANUFACTURED BUT WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SPRING 2018.

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE CONTACTED FORD CORP TWICE AND THEY TOLD ME A LETTER WOULD BE SENT....THIS SINCE 2014. I HAVE CONTACTED HOLMAN FORD IN MAPLE SHADE, NJ 4 TIMES TO ASK IF THEY HAVE THE PARTS FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. THEY HAVE CONSISTENTLY TOLD ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS YET AND I WILL GET A LETTER. I HAVE NOT MOVED OR CHANGED MY ADDRESS FOR 33 YEARS AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING.

MY SON-IN-LAW BOUGHT A USED MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE FOR HIS SON. I HAD THE CAR INSPECTED AND FLUIDS CHANGED AS SOON AS I COULD AND DURING THE TIME ON THE RACK, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE FRAME STIFFENERS ON BOTH SIDE SHOWED SEVERE RUST TO THE POINT ONE WAS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH. THE STIFFENER HAS AN OPENING IN THE FRONT THAT ACCUMULATES WATER, SALT AND ROAD SLOP OVER TIME, BUT NO METHOD TO LET THIS MEMBER FLUSH ITSELF OR BE CLEANED ON THE INSIDE. THE SHOP INSTALLED TWO NEW STIFFENERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THEY CLOSED THE FRONT OPENING ENTRANCE TO THE STIFFENER WITH A SEALANT AND GAVE THE BARE METAL EXTERIOR TWO COATS OF CORROSION RESISTANT PAINT. *TR

CAR SUDDENLY WENT INTO LIMP MODE, NO REASON. JUST STARTED IT UP ONE DAY AND IT JUST DID NOT WANT TO MOVE. NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO GET IT OUT OF THE MODE. MANY MECHANICS HAVE TRIED WITH NO LUCK. NOW A MECHANIC SAYS I HAVE A FAULTY COMPUTER. 3 YEARS OF IT ACTING THIS WAY.. COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS SHOWED MANY THINGS MESSED UP, EVEN AFTER REPLACING ALL OF THOSE (AND I AM SURE SOME WERE UNEEDED) THE CAR IS STILL IN LIMP MODE, HAS NO POWER AT ALL AND HAS BEEN BASICALLY DOWN FOR 3 YEARS. BEAUTIFUL LAWN ORNAMENT BUT IT BEING ALL I HAVE LEFT OF MY LATE HUSBAND, I'M NOT HAPPY IT JUST SITS THERE. NO MECHANIC WANTS TO EVEN TOUCH IT!

A FEW WEEKENDS AGO I PURCHASED A VERY NICE LOOKING 06 MUSTANG GT WITH 87,000 (APX) MILES. CAR HAD JUST BEEN CLEANED UP VERY NICELY AND LOOKED LIKE A GOOD DEAL. ON THE WAY HOME I TOOK IT THROUGH THE CAR WASH AND CAME TO DISCOVER WHY IT HAD BEEN SO CLEANED OUT. WATER BEGAN POURING IN UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. LIKE A WATER FALL. THE WATER DIDN'T STOP UNTIL THERE WAS A GOOD 4 INCHES ON THE FLOOR. WHAT A NIGHTMARE. THE WATER SMELLED TERRIBLE. I SMELL A AWFUL MOLD/MILDEW SMELL NOW THAT WON'T GO AWAY. THERE WERE SMALL ELECTRICAL ISSUES AT THE TIME THAT SEEM TO HAVE CLEARED UP... FOR NOW. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED THE DRAINAGE HOLES UNDER THE COWL WERE PLUGGED AND AN INVESTIGATION VERIFIED THE PROBLEM. CLEARING OF THE DRAINAGE HOLES TOOK ONLY A FEW MINUTES, BUT I FEAR THE DAMAGE MAY BE THERE AND WILL CAUSE SERIOUS ISSUES IN THE FUTURE IF THE WIRES SHOULD EVER RUST. AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE IS SCARY. ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS CONTROL.. WELL.. THE ENTIRE CAR. CRUISE CONTROL, WINDOWS, ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, AIR BAGS, ETC. I'D HATE MY AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING. AND THE MOLD IN THE CARPET CAN'T BE HEALTHY EITHER. FORD NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND REPAIR THESE VEHICLES AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. THIS IS NOT ONLY AN INCONVENIENCE, BUT THE ELECTRICAL ASPECT OF THE SITUATION MAKES THIS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS GAMBLE. WHEN THIS CAR IS PAID OFF, I'M GETTING A DIFFERENT SUMMERTIME FUN CAR, AND IT WON'T BE ANOTHER FORD. UNLESS FORD TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE. *TR

DURING RAIN OR RINSING OF CAR WASH, WATER LEAKS INSIDE CABIN. WATER HAS STARTED CORROSION IN SMALL AREAS UNDER DASH WHERE IT HAS CONTACTED WIRES. *TR

WHILE TRYING TO PASS A CAR TO MY RIGHT, DURING MID-LEVEL ACCELERATION, MY ENGINE EXPERIENCED UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION FROM 40MPH TO 70MPH BEFORE I COULD RESPOND AND TURN THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION, KILLING THE ENGINE. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN TWO YEARS. THE FIRST TIME WAS UNDER HARD ACCELERATION WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE RED-LINED AND I HAD TO PUT THE CAT IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT OFF THE IGNITION. THE NEXT THREE TIME I EXPERIENCED THIS WAS DURING MODERATE TO LIGHT ACCELERATION IN PASSING CARS BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 35MPH AND 45 MPH. I HAVE ELIMINATED THE FLOOR MAT AS A CAUSE FOR THIS. I HAVE THE ANCHOR AND GROMMET TYPE MAT THAT CANNOT SLIDE FORWARD. MY FEAR IS THAT A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER WOULD HAVE CRASHED IN ANY OF THESE FOUR OCCURRENCES. *JS

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. MY GAS PEDAL HAS GOTTEN STICK TO THE FLOOR AND WILL NOT LET UP UNLESS I SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAIT ABOUT 10 SECONDS THEN START IT UP AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE IF IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE THROTTLE BODY GETTING STUCK OPEN OR WHAT. IT'S PRETTY FRIGHTENING. I'M ALMOST SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE THE KIDS. *TR

WAS DRIVING INTO A CONVENIENCE STORE PARKING LOT, CAR SUDDENLY STARTED TO ACCELERATE , IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES, DID NO GOOD, SLAMMED THE CAR INTO PARK. (RPM'S WERE REALLY RACING HIGH) VERY SCARY. WAS ONLY 10-15 FEET FROM GOING THROUGH THE STORE!!!!! WE HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS GOING BACK 5 YEARS. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE CAR AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICES. HELP! *TR

HAPPENED 2 CONSECUTIVE DAYS. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 30-40 MILES PER HOUR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S LIKE THE CAR TOOK OFF AND BEGAN ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. BREAKING WOULD NOT REALLY SLOW IT DOWN. SHE WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO THROW THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TI SHIITE DOWN BUT THE VEHICLE KEPT REVVING. SHE HAD TO SHUT IT DOWN AND REMOVE THE KEY BEFORE IT WOULD STOP. IT'S SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS. IT HAPPENED TO ME A DAY EARLIER AT THE TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. HOPEFULLY TOO MANY PEOPLE DON'T GET KILLED BEFORE THE NHTSA TAKES ACTION. I SEE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACTS OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. THE OWNER STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED, AND WHILE TRYING TO APPLY THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T STOP, AND IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WERE 25,370.

I HAVE A 2006 FORD MUSTANG AND I HAVE A RATTLE IN THE FRONT END AND NOT SURE IF JUST SOUNDS LIKE REAR ALSO ,, NOT SURE WHAT OR WHY BUT IT DOES THE NOISE EVEN IF YOU JUST GO OVER ANY SMALL BUMP , I CANT FIND WHAT IT IS , DO YOU OR HAVE YOU HAD THIS HAPPEN ON THESE CARS ? PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANY THING TO FIX IT , SOUNDS LIKE ITS FALLING APART. THANK YOU *TR

PAINT IS BUBBLING AND CHIPPING ON TOP OF HOOD AND UNDERNEATH FROM POOR DESIGN. WATER HAS NO PLACE TO GO RESULTING IN CORROSION TO PAINT. *TR

LOST FUNCTION OF BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS AND FLASHERS. FORD DEALER IN WINSTON SALEM, NC SAID THE DRAIN BELOW THE WINDSHIELD HAS STOPPED UP AND DIVERTED THE WATER VIA THE WIRING TO THE SJB THEREBY SHORTING IT OUT. HAD NEW SJB INSTALLED AND WATER REMOVED FROM PASSENGER FLOOR AREA. TOOK 2 DAYS FOR CARPETING TO DRY OUT. COST WAS 610.38 PLUS THE SJB. THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT FOR NOT HAVING BRAKE LIGHTS OR TURN SIGNALS. IT IS NOW JULY 1, 2014 AND THE SAME PART HAS FAILED AGAIN BUT WITHOUT THE WATER ISSUE. THE CAR IS GOING BACK IN THE SHOP TOMORROW. I HOPE I DON'T GET REAR ENDED ON THE WAY TO PARKWAY FORD. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF ISSUES INVOLVING THE LOCATION OF THE SJB POSTED ON THE INTERNET. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED, IF THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ALREADY. *TR

ON MONDAY FEBRUARY 24 2014 AT AROUND 12:45PM, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I WAS SITTING IN MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC DUE TO CONSTRUCTION ON THE GRAND CENTRAL PARKWAY(QUEENS NY) HEADING TOWARDS THE VAN WYCK EXPRESSWAY(EAST TO BROOKLYN NY). AS TRAFFIC STARTED TO MOVE UP SLOWLY, I HAD PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE FORWARD AND WITHOUT HESITATION THE CAR JUMPS FROM 7 MPH TO FULL THROTTLE. EVEN WHEN I HAD APPLIED THE BRAKES ( I FELT THE BRAKES ON THE ROTORS BUT IT DIDN'T STOP) THE VEHICLE HAD STAYED STUCK ON FULL THROTTLE AND HAD STRUCK THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. IT BOUNCED OFF THE 1ST VEHICLE AND IT WAS AT THIS POINT I HAD PLACED BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES, TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS STANDING ON THEM WITH MY HEAD HITTING THE ROOF OF THE CAR. THE CAR PROCEEDED ON (STILL IN FULL THROTTLE AND BRAKES APPLIED) AND SMASHED IN BETWEEN TWO OTHER VEHICLES FURTHER UP AND AFTER THAT COLLISION THATS WHEN THE CAR FINALLY HAD CAME TO A STOP. I NEVER HEARD OR SEEN ANY VEHICLE TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN LIKE THAT. TWO DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT I HAD ASKED AROUND ON FACEBOOK ON SEVERAL MUSTANG ENTHUSIAST/CLUB PAGES AND NO ONE HAS HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. A WEEK LATER MY INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED OUT MY VEHICLE AND LEFT ME WITH NO CAR AND NOW I'M LEFT TO PAY $3000 DOLLARS DIFFERENCE ON MY LOAN AND $500 TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I ALSO ASKED ON FORD'S FACEBOOK PAGE AND I WAS GIVEN A NUMBER FROM A CUSTOMER RELATIONS REPRESENTATIVE. I HAD CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS AND "WHAT WILL I LIKE TO DO WITH THIS?". A FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME ABOUT CAR COMPLAINTS.COM AND I CAME ACROSS MORE THAN 20 COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO WAS TOLD RECENTLY TO CHECK THIS WEBSITE TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I LOVED THAT CAR AND THAT WHOLE SITUATION LEFT ME DEPRESSED AND FRUSTRATED. *TR

I WAS STOPPED COMPLETELY. THE TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN IN THE INTERSECTION. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND STAYED THERE. I FLEW THRU THE INTERSECTION AT TOP SPEED WITH THE BRAKE PUSHED AS HARD AS I COULD WITH NO DECELERATION AT ALL. I TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 150 YARDS WIDE OPEN. I STOMPED THE GAS PEDAL AND TRIED TO GET IT TO RELEASE WITH NO LUCK. I FINALLY TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND JUMPED A CURB TO GET IT STOPPED JUST BEFORE I WOULD HAVE REAR-ENDED A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. FLAT SPOTTED 2 BRAND NEW FRONT TIRES. IT WAS TERRIFYING! IT COST ME $721.32 TO GET THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. AFTER I GOT HOME I GOOGLE FORD ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AND DISCOVERED THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT IN 30 STATES AGAINST FORD FOR THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED AND I NEED A REFUND FROM FORD FOR THE DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY AND 2 NEW TIRES. *TR

CAR WILL NOT ACCEPT FUEL. WHEN TRYING TO PUMP GAS, IT SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE AND ON ME. *TR

I CAME TO A STOP, LOOKED TO MY LEFT. SAW NO CAR , AND PROCEEDED TO LEAVE TO MAKE A LEFT. CAR STRUCK ME ON THE LEFT FENDER. HEARD A LONG SOUND WITH WHITE SMOKE ALL IN THE CAR THAT CAME FROM AIR BAG, MY FACE WAS STRUCK SO HARD BY THE AIR BAG THAT IT MADE A LARGE BUMP ON FOREHEAD AND EYES BLACK IN BLUE SWOLLEN WITH A HEADACHE THAT I'VE HAD FOR SOME DAYS NOW. I'VE HAD TO MISS WORK ALL WEEK, IT ALSO MADE ME NECK N SIDE HURT. *TR

IN THE MORNING, WHEN IT IS FREEZING OUTSIDE, MY EMERGENCY BRAKES WILL NOT RELEASE. I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT WARMS UP OUTSIDE BEFORE I CAN DRIVE MY CAR. IT HAS HAPPENED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, AFTER SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY STATIONERY ALL NIGHT LONG. *TR

DRIVING 40MPH KN THE RIGHT LANE OF A 4 LANE HIGHWAY WITH A CEMENT MEDIAN SEPARATING THE EAST AND WESTBOUND LANES. I HIT SOME BLACK ICE, SPUN 90 DEGREES ACROSS THE LEFT LANE AND HIT THE MEDIAN ALMOST HEAD ON. AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

MY CAR IDLES UNCONTROLLABLE AND JERKS WHENEVER IT IS DRIVEN. IF I STOP OR DRIVE AT SLOW SPEEDS IT WILL JUST STOP RUNNING ON ITS OWN. I SIMPLY RESTART IT AND IT WILL GO, BUT IT WILL KEEP JERKING AND IDLING. *TR

PAINT BUBBLING ON HOOD, APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, AS I HAD SAME ISSUE ON MY 07. *JS
