2006 Ford Mustang Complaint Log

MY CAR IS STILL UNDER THE EXTRA CARE EXTENDED WARRANTY. 3 WEEKS AGO I WAS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT I PUSHED THE CLUTCH IN, TO PUT INTO FIRST GEAR AND GOT READY FOR THE LIGHT TURN GREEN, WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY LUNCHED AND THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER PART PA6-GF25 BROKE . PART NUMBER PA6-GF25 BROKE AND WAS LYING INSIDE THE DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR FLOOR. I CAN'T BELIEVE FORD USED A PLASTIC PIECE PART PA6-GF25 TO HOLD THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER. AFTER CLOSE INSPECTION I NOTICE THAT DUE TO STRESS OVER TIME IT WAS BROKEN IN HALF. I COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED ME OR SOME ELSE, WHEN MENTION IT TO GALPIN FORD, THEY SAID IT'S NOT THERE PROBLEM THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME 450 DOLLARS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, MY CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP AND MY BILL IN GOING TO BE OVER A 1000 DOLLARS AND THEY DON'T WANT TO COVER IT UNDER THE WARRANTY EITHER, I READY FOR TO FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND A RECALL CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS OR KNOWS OTHER PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER WAS ENTERING THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AS A RESULT, THE WATER CAUSED ELECTRICAL FAILURES. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER, NOR HAD IT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,800. UPDATED 10/19/2011 *LN *TR

2006 FORD MUSTANG HAS A WINDSHIELD VENT LEAK PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE WINDSHIELD RAIN VENT BECOMES CLOGGED AND DRIPS WATER INTO THE PASSENGERS SIDE KICK PANEL WERE THERE IS A COMPUTER CONTROL BOX THE CONNECTION BECOME CORRODED AND CAUSES ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUES AS IT ONE COULD CAUSE A FIRE, TWO COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO LOOSE POWER AND THEREFORE CONTROLLED BRAKING OR STEERING, SIMPLY REPLACING THE PARTS DOSE NOTHING TO PREVENT THE SAFETY ISSUE. I AM TOLD THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2005, 2006, AND 2007 MUSTANGS. *TT

NORMAL USAGE VEHICLE WITH 63,000 MILES, STEEL CRANKSHAFT PULLEY SEPARATED FROM RUBBER HUB. REPAIR INCLUDES REPLACING CRANKSHAFT PULLEY AND OTHER ITEMS DAMAGED BY PART FAILURE. CAUSED LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, AS WELL AS ENGINE STALLING IF SPEED SENSOR IS DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF CRANKSHAFT PULLEY DAMAGING IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER IT WOULD RAIN, WATER WOULD LEAK INTO THE VEHICLE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE INTO THE REAR SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE WATER WAS ENTERING THROUGH THE CLIPS, SEAL AND UNDER PADDING OF THE COWL ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2006 PREMIUM V6 FORD MUSTANG, AND I REGULARLY GET MY VEHICLE SERVICED. MY MOST RECENT SERVICE VISIT WAS FOR AN OIL CHANGE ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER STANDARD PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE THAT IS PERFORMED WITH THE OIL CHANGE; PERFORMED 05/20/11. UPON COMPLETION, THE SERVICE ADVISER TOLD ME THE MECHANIC FOUND COOLANT RESIDUE ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT AND IT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING. ON 06/24 I DECIDED TO DRIVE TO NEVADA FOR THE WEEKEND, AND MY ENGINE OVERHEATED DUE TO THE COOLANT LEAK. I HAD A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT WITH NO CELL PHONE COVERAGE AND LITTLE TO NO TRAFFIC ON THE ROUTE I TOOK. IT TOOK OVER SIX HOURS BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO ATTAIN HELP AND HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD SERVICE FACILITY - WHICH COSTED OVER $500 TO TOW. I WAS ADVISED THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING CRACKED AND LEAKED, POSSIBLY DUE TO IMPROPER TIGHTENING. MY ENGINE APPARENTLY IS OUT OF WARRANTY NOW, SO I AM FACING A 4000+ DOLLAR SERVICE BILL FOR AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. HAD I BEEN TOLD RESIDUE COULD BE A SIGN OF A POTENTIAL LEAK THAT COULD CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE, I WOULD HAVE PAID WHATEVER WAS NECESSARY TO REPAIR THE DEFECT. I THOUGHT I COULD CONFIDE IN MY FORD DEALERSHIP IN MAINTAINING MY VEHICLE, BUT APPARENTLY I CANNOT. I AM APPALLED WITH THIS EXPERIENCE THAT SERVICED MY VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND MY ENGINE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, BECAUSE THIS IS CLEARLY NEGLIGENCE ON FORD'S BEHALF FOR NOT ADVISING ME COOLANT WAS LEAKING AND MY ENGINE COULD POTENTIALLY FAIL. MY ADVISER ONLY TOLD ME THERE WAS RESIDUE FOUND, AND IT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING I HAD TO WORRY ABOUT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HOOD AND LATCH WERE CORRODED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE RUST HAS SPREAD TO THE EDGES AROUND THE HOOD AND TOWARDS THE BACK NEAR THE WINDSHIELD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2006 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE IT CONTINUED TO SPILL OUT OF THE FUEL TANK ON THE CONTACT AND ON THE GROUND. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER REGARDING THE FAILURE AND THE DEALER FOUND A RESTRICTION BLOCKING THE FUEL TANK VENT LINE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WHEN THE DEALER CLEARED THE VENT LINE.

TL*HE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THE PARKING BRAKE BECAME STUCK AND COULD NOT BE ENGAGED OR RELEASED. THE MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THE CABLE WAS STUCK. THE MECHANIC NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE PART AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE IT HAD TO BE REDESIGNED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V319000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. BEECHMONT FORD (600 OHIO PIKE, CINCINNATI, OHIO 45245, (513) 752-6611) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL IN 2011. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND SCHEDULED A RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENT WITH KINGS FORD (9555 KINGS AUTO MALL ROAD, CINCINNATI, OHIO 45249) IN JULY OF 2013. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON SATURDAY TWO DAYS EARLIER, I DROVE TO WORK THEN HOME APPROXIMATELY 130 MILES WENT TO DINNER WITH A WIFE AND FRIENDS. ONE OF MY FRIENDS FROM NORWAY WANTED RIDE IN CAR AND EXPERIENCE THE POWER. FORTUNATELY ON A CLEAR 6 LANE HIGHWAY I KICKED IT HARD ONLY THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE PEDAL FUNCTIONED AS NORMAL RETURNING TO UPRIGHT POSITION. I KICKED THE PEDAL 8 OR 9 TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE FINALLY RESPONDED. IT RUINED A SET BRAKE PADS. THE DEALER SAYS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH CAR - SAID THE FLOOR MAT MUST HAVE GOTTEN STUCK UNDER THE PEDAL. I SAID GO LOOK AGAIN WHEN I BOUGHT THE USED CAR TWO DAYS AGO THERE ARE NO FLOOR MATS IN IT. HE HAD NO FURTHER RESPONSE. SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED TODAY MARCH 23, 2012 JUST OVER A YEAR LATER BASICALLY A DUPLICATE OF THE ORIGINAL. I THINK THAT THESE DRIVE-BY-WIRE CARS HAVE SOME SERIOUS ISSUES REGARDING FAIL SAFE FEATURES OF THE COMPONENTS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED A NUMBER STICKING THROTTLES IN MY LIFETIME BUT AT LEAST WHEN A MECHANICAL LINKAGE STICKS THERE IS AN IDENTIFIABLE CAUSE AND REMEDY. THIS ELECTRONIC CRAP AND THE LACK OF DIGINITY BY BOTH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER TO RESPOND TO A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN IS FRIGHTENING. I BOUGHT FORD'S MUSTANG TO ENJOY IT - NOT BE TERRIFIED THAT EVERYTIME I OPEN THE THROTTLE THAT IT MAY BE MY LAST. I HAVE SEEN A NUMBER COMPLAINTS ON THE VARIOUS MUSTANG FORUMS AS WELL AS ON THIS SITE MAYBE FORD COULD AT LEAST HONESTLY INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

AT 12:00 PM MY SISTER IN LAW CALLED ME AND SAID HER 06 MUSTANG GT WAS HESITATING WHEN ACCELERATING, I ADVISED HER TO BRING IT TO MY SHOP AND I WOULD CHECK IT OUT. I CHECKED TO SEE IF ANY CODES WERE SET, AND THE CODES WERE CLEAR. I TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THERE WAS A 4-6 SECOND DELAY BETWEEN PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE RESPONSE OF THE ENGINE ACCELERATING. I TURNED RIGHT ONTO THE MAIN ROAD OF OUR TEST DRIVE AREA AND ACCELERATED AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR TO FULL ACCELERATION AND THE REAR TIRES SPUN AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD NOT RETURN TO THE RELEASED POSITION. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND COASTED BACK INTO MY PARKING LOT. I, AT THAT POINT WENT TO MY OFFICE AND CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND ASKED THE PARTS MANAGER IF THERE WERE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE STICKING ACCELERATOR AND HE ADVISED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON CERTAIN MUSTANGS WHERE THEY PUT A SHIELD UNDER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THIS VEHICLE DIDN'T FALL INTO THE V.I.N. PARAMETERS. THERE WERE NO ADDITIONAL MATS OTHER THAN THE FACTORY MAT WHICH IS HOOKED INTO THE MAT HOOKS ON THE CARPET AND THAT THERE WAS PLENTY OF CLEARANCE FROM THE PEDAL TO THE MAT. PERSONALLY IT SEEMED LIKE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVE BY WIRE ACCELERATOR. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MY SISTER, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE PROBLEM. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT WE CAN DO? *TR

I HAVE A 2006 MUSTANG WITH ONLY 7500 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE OWNED IT NOW FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. TODAY I WAS DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND THE ENGINE JUST TURNED OFF. I PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. I DROVE HOME WITH NO ISSUES. I WAS ALMOST ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. IF YOU COMPLETE A GOOGLE SEARCH ON 2006-2009 MUSTANGS, THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE LISTED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, I CHECKED ALL THE FLUIDS IN THE CAR AND THEY WERE ALL FINE. IT DID NOT SOUND LIKE THEIR WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE; THIS SEEMS MORE LIKE A GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM, SOMETHING THAT FORD SHOULD RECALL AND FIX. BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF, THE STEERING WAS HARD TO CONTROL, IF I WAS GOING AT A FASTER SPEED, I MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. THIS COULD HAVE CREATED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

2006 V6 FORD MUSTANG - PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE COOLANT THERMOSTAT HOUSING, FAILED AT 69,699 MILES AT 60 MPH. STEAM FROM HOOD, BLOCKED VISION, WAS ABLE TO EVENTUALLY PULL TO SHOULDER FOR SAFETY. *TR

VEHICLE WAS ENTERING FREEWAY WHEN ALL DASH LIGHTS STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND WENT BLACK. WITHIN SEVERAL SECONDS THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND BEGAN SPLUTTERING. VEHICLE PULLED ONTO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND THE ENGINE CUT OUT. VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO RESTART ONCE ENGINE DIED. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THE ALTERNATOR WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE.

CANNOT EASILY PUT GAS IN TANK. THIS JUST STARTED OCCURRING AFTER HAVING 80,000 +/- MILES ON VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS CAR HAD UPDATED (REMEDY) TANK INSTALLED DURING PRODUCTION, BECAUSE FORD KNEW OF PROBLEM ON 2005S. NEWER TANK WORKED SUCCESSFULLY FOR MANY MILES. GASSING UP IS NOW TOO FRUSTRATING TO DEAL WITH. I'VE BEEN A FORD FAN FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE, BUT THIS MIGHT CHANGE MY MIND. *TR

CATALYTIC CONVERTER: LONG STORY SHORT. MY CAR WAS STILL ELIGIBLE UNDER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY. WHICH MADE IT ELIGIBLE FOR FORD TO REPAIR THE CAT. CONVERTER BY LAW. I WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND (PER FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE)THAT MY CAR WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE "BUMPER TO BUMPER" WARRANTY SINCE I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR USED. AT THAT TIME(NOV. 2010) THERE WAS A MAJOR. NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER ON CAT. CONVERTERS. I WAITED UNTIL FEBRUARY TO TAKE MY CAR DOWN TO FORD UNDER THE ASSUMPTIONS THAT I WAS RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR THE $1200+ REPAIR COST. SINCE I WAS UNDER 80,000 MILES.. FORD PAID FOR MY RENTAL FOR A MONTH AND I HAD MY CAT. CONVERTER FIXED :). PEOPLE KEPT TELLING ME THAT MY CAR WAS TOO NEW TO HAVE THAT PROBLEM. WELL YOU NEVER KNOW. IT JUST STOPPED WORKING ONE DAY AND I COULDN'T DRIVE IT OVER 5-10 MPH. *KB

CAR WOULD NOT START. *TR

FLOOR MAT PROVIDED BY ROUSH GOT STUCK BEHIND THE GAS PEDAL AND CAUSED MY CAR TO ACCELERATE TO WHAT FELT LIKE 90-100 MPH. I ATTEMPTED TO PASS TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME AND SLAMMED MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE AHEAD; HOWEVER, UPON PASSING THE TRAFFIC ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY NORTH, WHICH HAS A SPEED LIMIT OF 65 MPH, MY GAS PEDAL BECAME STUCK OR JAMMED IN THE MAT AND ACCELERATED TO WHAT FELT LIKE 90-100 MPH. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL THEN ACCIDENTALLY TO REVERSE HEARING A MECHANICAL CLUNK, DURING WHICH TIME I REPEATEDLY SLAMMED MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN LUCKILY, THE GAS PEDAL RELEASED AND I WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING LIKE NORMAL. LATER THAT DAY, I NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR MAT WAS STUCK BEHIND THE GAS PEDAL AT WORK; IT MAY HAVE SLID UNDER THE GAS PEDAL WHEN MY FOOT LIFTED UP FROM THE FLOOR OR THE EXACT TIME I AM NOT SURE SINCE WHEN I ENTER MY CAR I DO NOT LOOK TO SEE IF MY FLOOR MAT IS STUCK BEHIND THE GAS PEDAL. HOWEVER, I AM FILING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THE FLOOR MAT PROVIDED BY FORD WITH MY 2006 ROUSH STAGE II FORD MUSTANG HAD NO HOLE TO LATCH ONTO THE HOOK ON THE FLOOR OF THE CAR AS WELL AS THE ROUSH FLOOR MAT PROVIDED WITH PURCHASE OF THE CAR AND USED THAT DAY, DID HAVE A HOLE TO CONNECT TO THE HOOK ON THE FLOOR, BUT DOES NOT FIT THE HOOK. I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURERS DID NOT ENSURE 100% THAT THEIR FLOOR MATS ARE SECURED TO THE FLOOR; INSTEAD, IN THIS EXAMPLE, IT SLID ON THE FLOOR AND BECAME STUCK BEHIND MY GAS PEDAL. I HAVE SINCE REMOVED THE ROUSH FLOOR MAT FROM THE FLOOR AND DO NOT USE A FLOOR MAT, NEITHER THE ONE PROVIDED BY FORD NOR THE ONE PROVIDED BY ROUSH. THIS COMPLAINT IS MORE A COSMETIC DESIGN FLAW THAN A MECHANICAL PROBLEM, SINCE NO TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD WHICH I COMMUNICATED TO FORD BY MAIL. OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE WENT THROUGH WITH AN INSPECTION OF MY VEHICLE AT MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING DAY (WHICH I SCHEDULED), BUT THE CAR DRIVES FINE TODAY AND THERE IS NO LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. *TR

AFTER CHANGING THE BATTERY ON MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT WITH 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION IT IDLES VERY ROUGH AND SOMETIMES DIES DURING DRIVING OR IDLES SO LOW THE POWER STEERING IS NOT FULLY FUNCTIONAL RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE STEERING EFFORT. THE CAR RAN FINE UNTIL THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. I FOLLOWED THE RELEARN PROCEDURE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL BUT IT DID NOT HELP. *TR

I HAVE 2006 MUSTANG GT, BROUGHT NEW AND THE PAINT ON THE HOOD IS FALLING OFF, I TOOK TO A FORD DEALER BODY SHOP, AND WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF $600.00 , TO REPAINT THE HOOD. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY ON THE PAINT IS ONLY GOOD FOR 36,000 MILES OR 3 YEARS. THE PAINT WAS NOT FALLING OFF AT 36,000 MILES, AND I THINK FORD SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME. *TR

ALL I WAS DOING WAS CLEANING OUT MY CAR AND THEN GOT IN THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS MY TIRE. I INSPECTED MY TIRES THEN SAW MY WINDSHIELD. I INVESTIGATED THE WINDSHIELD AND SAW NO HOLES OR ANYTHING AT ALL. THE TEMPERATURE WAS THE SAME AS ALWAYS AND THE WINDOWS WERE DOWN. *TR

THE 2006 FORD MUSTANG V6 COUPE SEATS POSE A DANGEROUS THREAT NOT ONLY FOR THE WAY THEY ARE BOLTED INTO THE CAR'S FRAME AND RUST AWAY BUT THE FACT THE SIDES OF THE SEAT CLOTH RIPS AWAY, EXPOSING THE INTERNAL STUFFING. AS STUFFING FALLS OUT, THE SEAT'S SOLID STRUCTURE IS LEFT, WHICH WILL CAUSE A SEVERE BACK INJURY IF IN A CAR ACCIDENT. THE 2006 FORD MUSTANG V6 COUPE MANUEL TRANSMISSION SYNCHRONIZER POSES A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE SECOND GEAR NO LONGER FUNCTIONS, POSING A SEVERE THREAT IN SWITCHING GEARS AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE SUSPENSION CONTINUOUSLY CAUSES THE BALL JOINTS AND CONTROL ARM TO DAMAGE YEARLY. THE THREAT OF A BALL JOINT GOING OUT CAN CAUSE A TIRE TO DETACH AND CAUSE A SERIOUS WRECK.

VISITED FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CHECKED. THEY CHECKED IT AND TOLD ME THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG HAD A DEFECTIVE CONNECTOR AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A 2006 VEHICLE THAT HAS A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG CONNECTOR? THIS IS NOT RIGHT. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $275.00 TO REPLACE THE PART. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 5 MPH ON A GRAVEL ROAD SURFACE, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO PARK THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED, AND THE ENGINE REVVED EXCESSIVELY HIGH WITH AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAUSING THE TIRES TO SPIN. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN AND THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS SHIFTED INTO "PARK". THE ACCELERATION FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT WAITED A FEW MOMENTS AND RESUMED OPERATION. DURING THE TRAVEL THE SPEED RATE INCREASED TO 100 MPH UNEXPECTEDLY. THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AFTER REPEATED APPLICATION TO THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE NO TROUBLE CODES WERE DETECTED. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT HAD SIGNIFICANT CONCERN PERTAINING TO THE SAFETY DEFECT AND FEARED DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 51,000.

FORD MUSTANG 2006 - CAN NOT PUT GAS IN GAS TANK. WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF WITHOUT PUTTING GAS IN TANK -- GAS JUST SPILLS ONTO YOUR FEET -- CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. FORD KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM - THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN & MANY COMPLAINTS. FORD SAYS THERE IS "NO FIX". SUGGESTS GETTING GAS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATION. I HAVE HAD CAR TO FORD SERVICE 4 TIMES -- SO FAR SPENT $300 ON SUPPOSED FIXES. NOW THEY SAY THERE IS NO FIX. SO - I HAVE A CAR, WITH 20,000 MILES ON IT, THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE. MUST STAY CLOSE TO HOME, JUST IN CASE I CAN'T GET ANY GAS INTO IT. SO FAR HAVE FOUND ONE GAS STATION WHERE I CAN PUT IN GAS IN THE CAR. FORD IS OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKING ON THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR MANY YEARS -- THE COPY OF FORD SERVICE BULLETIN THAT I HAVE IS DATED 2007 -- THE SERVICE BULLETIN TSB 07-21-12 - STATES THAT THE PROBLEM CAN BE IMPROVED BY USING A DIFFERENT GAS STATION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. LOCAL FORD DEALER JUST SHRUGS THEIR SHOULDERS AND GIVES ME A COPY OF SERVICE BULLETIN THAT SAYS THERE IS NO FIX. TIRED OF HAVING GAS SLOSH ONTO MY FEET AND THE SIDE OF THE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER CONTINUOUSLY LEAKED ONTO THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR FOUR YEARS. THE DEALER RESEALED THE COWL, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

2006 MUSTANG GT MANUAL TRANSMISSION. REPLACEMENT OF BATTERY RESULTS IN ENGINE STALLING WITH AIR CONDITIONING ON WHEN CLUTCH DEPRESSED.. THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES ON REPLACING BATTERY THE COMPUTER NEEDS TO RELEARN IDLE. THIS DOES NOT WORK AT LEAST NOT IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN OVER A NUMBER OF DAYS WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING AND DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH EITHER COMING TO STOP OR TURNING A CORNER THE ENGINE IDLE WILL DROP FAR ENOUGH WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL STALL RESULTING IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES POSSIBLY CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE VEHICLE RAN CORRECTLY BEFORE THE BATTERY REPLACEMENT AND ONLY HAS 22,000 MILES. GOOGLING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET FINDS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WHICH ARE IDENTICAL OF WHICH OWNERS OF THE 4.6L FORD V8 (NOT JUST MUSTANG) ARE REPORTING IDLE AND STALLING PROBLEMS AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY AND WITH THE ISSUE NOT RESOLVING ITSELF AS THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES RESULTING IN EITHER A COMPUTER REFLASH OR THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT. THIS DEFECT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. FORD SHOULD RECALL AFFECTED VEHICLES AND HAVE THE DEFAULT IDLE SETTING SET FOR A HIGHER VALUE SO THE AIR CONDITIONER WHEN ENGAGED DOES NOT RESULT IN THE ENGINE STALLING. THE IDLE OF ENGINE IS ERRATIC WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON SINCE IT IS ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING DUE TO THE LOW IDLE SPEED < 500RPM. BY NOT USING THE AIR CONDITIONER THE IDLE SPEED WILL RETURN TO ITS NORMAL SPEED OF AROUND 600 TO 700RPM BUT STILL FLUCTUATES SLIGHTLY. NOT BEING ABLE TO USE THE AIR CONDITIONER IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH EAST. THE CONTROL FEED BACK OF THE IDLE SYSTEM IS INCORRECTLY OPERATING WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER LOAD ON IT. *TR

WATER LEAKED INTO PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD AREA. GOT THE SJB UNIT WET. LIGHTS, DOOR LOCKS, RADIO STARTED FLICKERING ON/OFF. NO CONTROL OVER ELECTRICAL ITEMS IN CAR CABIN. SEAT BELTS SEEMED TO TIGHTEN AND LOOSEN. *TR

THIS IS THE REQUEST IN ORDER TO BEGIN INVESTIGATIONS, INSPECTIONS, ANALYSIS ON THE FORD 2006 MUSTANG. THE DATA BASE HAS BEEN SEARCHED AND FOUR TO FIVE RECALLS HAVE BEEN ALREADY LISTED. THIS REQUEST IS TO ENSURE THAT ALL OWNERS HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT ANY DEFECTIVE, RECALLED EQUIPMENT FOR THE 2006 FORD MUSTANG. *TR

2006 MUSTANG GT- FUEL SENDER NEEDS REPLACEMENT. TROUBLE CODE P0456 COMES UP. THE FUEL PUMP ON VEHICLES BUILT BEFORE JANUARY 1ST, 2006 HAD AN OVERSIZED ORIFICE AND WOULD CAUSE A LEAK IN THE EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM. THE FUEL PUMP ITSELF WILL NOT BE AT DANGER FOR A FAILURE ALTHOUGH WITH AN EVAP CODE YOU MAY LOSE FUEL ECONOMY DUE TO THE TANK NOT BEING PROPERLY PRESSURIZED. ALSO YOU WILL NOT PASS A 'SMOG' TEST WITH THIS CODE. *TR

MY PAINT ID BUBBLED ON MY HOOD AND IT'S UGLY, IT WAS MANUFACTURED THAT WAY AND I THINK THEY SHOULD FIX IT.

I HAVE A 2006 FORD MUSTANG AND I CONTINUOUSLY HAVE PROBLEMS PUTTING GAS INTO THE VEHICLE, EVEN WHEN IT IS NEAR EMPTY. THE GAS WILL SPLASH BACK OUT AND NOT GO INTO THE TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND JUST AS RECENT AS JUNE 6, 2010. I ALSO HAD AN INCIDENT AROUND MARCH OF 2010 WHEN I TRIED TO STOP FOR A STOP LIGHT AND MY CAR ACCELERATED WHILE I WAS LITERALLY STANDING ON THE BRAKE. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND WAS STOPPED BY POLICE FOR HAZARDOUS DRIVING. WHEN I EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED, I DID NOT RECEIVE A CITATION BUT HAD TO GO ACROSS A CURB AND STAND ON THE BRAKE WHILE PULLING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THIS WAS VERY FRIGHTENING AND DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND THE PEOPLE AROUND ME. *TR

MARCH 2010, JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND CAME TO A STOP SIGN, CAR DIED. EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE UNTIL RECENTLY, JULY 2010, WHEN THE CAR STALLED ABOUT 5-6 TIMES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO CROSS THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC. I HAD 2 PEOPLE NEARLY RUN INTO ME BEFORE I COULD ACTUALLY GET IT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE. THEN, IT WOULDN'T START BACK UP WITH ME. I HAD TO LET IT SET FOR A FEW MINS, TRIED AGAIN AND IT FINALLY STARTED BACK UP. HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP, AND THERE IS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE, NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPLACED BEC I AM ON UNEMPLOYMENT AND DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY RIGHT NOW. I NEED MY CAR FOR INTERVIEWS AND A JOB WHEN I FINALLY FIND ONE. :( *TR

THE GAS PEDAL ON MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG GOT STUCK AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, CAUSING ME TO HIT 2 OTHER PARKED CARS. I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR KEPT GOING FORWARD AND THEN SUDDENLY STOPPED. THIS CAUSED THE WIND TO GET KNOCKED OUT OF ME. THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE CONSISTED OF THE DRIVER SIDE FENDER,TURN SIGNAL,HEADLAMP,BUMPER AND HOOD. DAMAGE TO THE OTHER VEHICLES WAS TO THEIR RESPECTIVE REAR BUMPERS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND AND THAT I'D BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARGES! *TR

PREVIOUSLY FILED COMPLAINT ODI# 10319368. PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT DISENGAGE, PASSENGER SIDE REAR BRAKES AND ROTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AT THE TUNE OF $200. THAT WAS 4 WEEKS AGO AND IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. GOOGLE 2006 MUSTANG DEFECTS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE DUE TO A FAULTY RUBBER BOOT. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM A FORD DEALER (IT HAD 4000 MILES ON IT AND LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. MOST PLACES WANT TO CHARGE SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE. VEHICLE HAS 31,000 MILES, THIS IS CRAP! *TR

MY DAUGHTER'S 2006 FORD MUSTANG ACCELERATOR STUCK THIS AFTERNOON AND ALMOST CAUSED HER TO HIT A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. WHILE STARTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY SHE NOTICED ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO END THE PASSING MANEUVER WHEN THE ENGINE ACCELERATOR "STUCK" WIDE OPEN. THE PEDAL ITSELF HAD COMPLETE FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT AND NO MATTER WHAT SHE TRIED TO DO TO GET IT "UNSTUCK" THE ACCELERATOR REMAINED AT FULL THROTTLE. FULL BRAKES WERE UNABLE TO SLOW THE CARS SPEED. THE THROTTLE FINALLY RELEASED AFTER ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS OF FULL ACCELERATION AND SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE HITTING ANY OTHER VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE CALL A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, NEVADA FORD AT (417)667-3385 OR (800)999-3368 AND ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT ANY SAFETY RECALLS OR INFORMATION ON THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE FROM FORD. I JUST DID A QUICK SEARCH ON LINE AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT STICKING ACCELERATORS ON FORD MUSTANGS. SHE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED FROM MILER-QUINN IN HARRISIONVILLE MISSOURI ABOUT FEBRUARY OR MARCH OF THIS YEAR AND HAS NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL THIS. NOW I BELIEVE THERE MAY HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE ORIGINAL OWNER DUE TO THE LOW PRICE MY DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE THE CAR FOR, $10,500. IT BOOKED FOR $14,500 AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE FROM A DEALERSHIP. PLEASE CONTACT EITHER MYSELF OR MY DAUGHTER ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

1. TRUNK TOO HIGH; BACK WINDOWS SLOPE BLIND DRIVER FROM STREET LIGHT REFLECTION. 2. HOOD AND WINDSHIELD DESIGNED DENY DRIVER FROM SEEING THE CURVES COMING ON SIDE ANGLES. (CAUSING VEHICLE ENDING UP ON CURVE) 3. ABS AUTO ACTIVATE WHEN VEHICLE GOING OVER POTHOLE, CAUSING SLIPPING AND DRIVER CANNOT CONTROL THE BRAKING DISTANCE. 4. AC/HEAT FAN AUTO ACTIVATE WITHOUT CONSENT EVEN WHEN SITTING ON OFF. I HAVE A V6, 2006 MUSTANG. THE SAFETY ISSUE THAT I HAVE IS THE FACT THAT THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE THAT JEOPARDIZING THE CHILDREN UNDER 3 FEET TALL.: THEIR TRUNK ARE TOO HIGH AND THE SLANTED MIRROR BLOCK VISIBILITY. AT NIGHT TIME BACKING OUT IS VERY HARD AND THERE ARE MANY BLIND SPOTS. I HAVE BACKED UP INTO ANOTHER CAR ALREADY DUE TO THE POOR VISIBILITY AND LIGHT REFLECTION: BACK WINDOW DESIGN WITH AN ANGLE THAT BLIND DRIVERS WHEN NIGHT LIGHT HITS. THE OWNER AND I SETTLED IN CASH. THE FRONT HOOD OF THE VEHICLE CENTER LINE FORMED AN UPSIDE DOWN V-SHAPE WHEREAS IT HIGHEST PEAK IS IN THE MIDDLE AND AT NIGHT TIME DRIVING IT HAS LIMITED MY VIEWING ABILITY: ENDED UP ON TWO CURVE, BECAUSE THE CEILING HEIGHT WERE TOO LOW. *TR

PARKING BRAKE "FREEZES", BRAKES OVERHEAT AND WARP ROTOR. *TR

EMERGENCY BRAKE WILL NOT RELEASE WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPS DROP BELOW FREEZING ON AN 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT.. *TR

AFTER THE UNUSUALLY COLD WEATHER MY REAR BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING AS WELL AS THEY WERE BEFORE. THE BRAKE PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACE 3 MONTHS PRIOR. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS NOW LOOSE. NOW THAT THE TEMPERATURE IS WARMER,THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LEVER IS STILL LOOSE AND IT STILL FEELS LIKE I AM ONLY BRAKING WITH MY FRONT BRAKES. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS REPAIR YET BECAUSE I CANT AFFORD IT AT THE MOMENT. *TR

WATER LEAKAGE CAUSED A FAILURE OF THE COMPUTER AND WIRING HARNESS DUE TO CORROSION. WATER WAS TRAPPED IN THE DOOR SILLS WHICH WAS RELEASED WHENEVER THE DOOR WAS OPENED. ON THE DAY OF THE FAILURE A SHORT HAD COMPLETELY DRAINED THE BATTERY. DEALER REPLACED THE COMPUTER AND HARNESS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY AND AT EXTREME COST. DEALER STATES THAT THERE WERE LEAKS IN THE COWL AND BULKHEAD SEAMS. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY CAR 2006 FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE HAS BEEN GETTING WATER COMING INSIDE FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT UNDER THE DASHBOARD AND IT MESSES UP THE ENTIRE FLOOR AND CAUSE A MILDEW SMELL. THE BACK SEATS HAVE WATER COMING INSIDE FROM EITHER THE SIDE PANELS ON THE CAR ON THE CONVERTIBLE OR THE WINDOW AT THE BACK OF THE CAR OR TOP OF THE CONVERTIBLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH FORD CONVERTIBLES AND ALSO OTHER MAKE A MODELS OF CARS AS WELL THAT ARE CONVERTIBLES. I THINK THIS IS A DEFECT WITH HOW THE FORD MANUFACTURER BUILT THESE MUSTANG CONVERTIBLES AND SHOULD BE RECALLED TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. IT CAUSES THE FLOORS TO BE WET CONSTANTLY WITH MILDEW SMELL AND THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS WITH MOLD ISSUES ON FLOOR AND SEATS OF VEHICLE AND MOLD COLLECTION ON WINDOWS AND OTHER PART OF VEHICLE AND DANGEROUS TO HEALTH. I HAVE ONLY HAD MY CAR SINCE 2005 I BOUGHT A 2006 CONVERTIBLE AND IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED HAVING ISSUES. *TT

MY MUSTANG IS LEKING WATER INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNDER THE GLOVE BOX. NOT DRIPS BUT BUCKETS AFTER A RAIN. THERE IS ALSO AN ADFIRIOMAL LEAK INTO THE TRUNK AND BACK SEAT. HAD SEALS AND DRAINS CHECKED NO PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THERE SEEMS TO BE ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM UNSURE HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON. AS I BEARLY DRIVE THIS CAR.

I HAD WATER COMING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHEN WASHING MY CAR CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CARPET. DEALERSHIP ADVISED A WELD FROM THE FIREWALL TO THE "A" POST ON PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT MADE AT FACTORY AND GRAMITS HAD BEEN MISSING WITH NO SIGN OF THEM EVER BEING INSTALLED. FORD IS REFUSING TO FIX AND STATES THE ISSUE IS WITH IN THEIR TOLERANCES. AS A FORD CUSTOMER OWNING A $55,000 SHOW MUSTANG THIS IS NOT SITTING WELL. *TR

MY 2006 MUSTANG HAS STARTED ONLY ALLOWING 5-9 GALLONS OF GAS TO BE PUT IN WHEN IT IS WARM OUTSIDE. IT STARTS SPITING GAS BACK OUT OF THE TANK. I GET GAS ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ALL OVER ME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. WE CAN GET MORE GAS IN AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS COOLER OUTSIDE. *TR

2006 MUSTANG 4.0 OPERATED AT 68 MPH FOR 22 MILES. CAME TO INTERSECTION AND STOPPED. ACCELERATED WHILE TURNING INTO TRAFFIC AND VEHICLE HESITATED AND ENGINE DIED. I WAS NEARLY HIT BY TRACTOR TRAILER RIG BROADSIDE AT 50 + MPH. NHTSA AND FORD MOTOR CO. ARE AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AS PER TSB 06-9-9 WHICH ADVISES TO REPLACE ORIGINAL FUEL PUMP WITH 7R3Z-9H307-C FUEL PUMP AT THE EXPENSE OF THE VEHICLE OWNER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT A TSB ISSUE! SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED BY THIS DEFECT! IT ALSO IS NOT IN SAFETY'S INTEREST TO EXPECT VEHICLE OWNERS TO SPEND MORE THAN $300.00 OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS REPAIR WHEN MANY OWNERS WILL DELAY THIS EXPENSE. THIS DEFECT SHOULD DEFINITELY BE HANDLED AS A RECALL ! *TR

MY CAR STARTED JERKING WHEN I PUT IN REVERSE AND DRIVE. WHILE DRIVE I HEAR A RATTLING NOISE UNDERNEATH THE GEAR SHIFT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THE TRANSMISSION HAD A LOOSE SOLENOID BOX AND THAT IT NEEDED TIGHTENING FOR $900. ALSO AT LOWER SPEEDS I FEEL THE CAR SLIPPING ESPECIALLY ON TURNS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER COLLECTED INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND CAUSED THE SMART JUNCTION BOX WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE HORN TO RUST. THE HORN IS CURRENTLY INOPERABLE. THE DEALER HAS STATED THAT IF THE TOP AREA OF THE JUNCTION BOX WAS FREE OF DEBRIS IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN COVERED WITH RUST. THE CONTACT WOULD LIKE THE MANUFACTURER TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY OF THE REPAIR COST. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 27,000 AND FAILURE THE MILEAGE WAS 26,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT. WHILE PROCEEDING FROM A STOP LIGHT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK. THE VEHICLE THEN ACCELERATED OVER 100 MPH. HE HAD TO REACH DOWN TO SEPARATE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FROM THE FLOOR-BOARD. HE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT IT WOULD COST $800.00 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED, HE WAS NOT PROVIDED WITH ANY ASSISTANCE. A MECHANIC SPECULATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY BECAME JAMMED. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 46,000. THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE.
