CASUAL DRIVER. NOTICED ACCELERATION AND COASTING/ROLLING WERE SLUGGISH. MECHANIC NOTED BRAKE AREA TEMP ON FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WAS OVER 400 DEGREES. THE BRAKES ON THAT WHEEL WOULD NOT RELEASE COMPLETELY AND CAUSED CONTINUOUS FRICTION PRODUCING OVERHEATING.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2011: WHILE EXITING AN INTERSTATE, I BEGAN TO GO AROUND THE CLOVERLEAF OF MY EXIT, LESS THAN 15 MPH, AND THE BACK END OF MY MUSTANG VERY QUICKLY FISHTAILED SPINNING ME ALL THE WAY AROUND. I ENDED UP FACING THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME, WHO FORTUNATELY WERE GOING AS SLOWLY AS I WAS. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO STOP JUST SHORT OF HITTING A CONCRETE BARRIER WALL. THERE WAS A VERY LIGHT RAIN, AND THE ROADS WERE WET. I HAVE ALL NEW TIRES. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, AND HAVE FISH-TAILED BEFORE, BUT NEVER SPUN COMPLETELY AROUND. COMPLETELY TERRIFYING. *KB

DT: THE CONSUMER STATES THAT 2004 FORD MUSTANG WAS HAVING MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS GUSHING OUT AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID PROBLEM. THE NEXT PROBLEM WAS OIL LEAKING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR REPAIRS AND IT WAS STILL LEAKING OIL. THE OWNER CONTACTED FORD FOR HELP. FORD HAD THE CAR TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT FORD RECOMMENDED. THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE OIL IS LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO HAVE A SEAL REPLACE A LINE, AND THE ENGINE IS STILL LEAKING. THE OWNER SAYS THAT HE CAN NOT DRIVE THE DRIVE BECAUSE IT WILL BLOW UP THE ENGINE. THE OWNER REFUSED TO DRIVE THE CAR WHEN HE FOUND ALL THESE PROBLEMS, SO HE DIDN'T BURN THE CAR UP. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS THAT HAVE WORKED ON THE CAR.

THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNAVAILABLE.

A FEW WEEKS AGO, I HAD TO DRIVE ACROSS TOWN TO PICK UP MY SISTER FROM WORK (IRONICALLY, SHE WAS HAVING A CAR PROBLEM.) I STOPPED FOR AN ACCIDENT, AND I NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS GETTING DIMMER AND DIMMER. I LOOKED AT THE BATTERY GAUGE AND SAW THAT THE CAR WAS DYING. SINCE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE, I KIND OF OF PANICKED AND SHUT THE CAR OFF, FIGURING I COULD LET IT SIT WITHOUT RUNNING FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO GIVE IT A CHANCE TO GET IT'S ACT TOGETHER. WHEN I SAW THE TRAFFIC BEGIN TO INCH FORWARD I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON, BUT IT WOULDN'T BUDGE. I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR THE STARTER TURN. IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD! I PUT ON MY BLINKERS, AND THOSE FIZZLED OUT WITHIN MINUTES, TOO. SO I WAS, STUCK ON THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH A DEAD BATTERY. I TRIED TO GET SOMEONE'S ATTENTION FOR HELP BUT PEOPLE JUST STARED AND INCHED FORWARD WITH THE REST OF THE TRAFFIC. THE RIGHT LANE AND MY LANE STARTED MOVING AT REGULAR SPEED SO NOW THERE WERE CARS AND SEMIS WHIZZING BEHIND AND PAST ME. FINALLY SOME GUY STEPPED OUT AND HELPED ME PUSH MY CAR TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. HE TRIED TO JUMP IT BUT IT STILL WOULDN'T START. A COP PULLED UP AND HELPED ME JUMP THE CAR WITH SOME HEAVY DUTY CABLES. THIS WAS WEEKS AGO AND THE CAR HAS BEEN FINE SINCE. I HAD THE ALTERNATOR, BATTERY AND EVERYTHING ELSE CHECKED AT THE SHOP RIGHT AWAY AND NOTHING WAS WRONG. I'VE ALREADY HAD MY ALTERNATOR REPLACED TWICE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR TWO YEARS AGO, THE LAST TIME BEING IN FEBRUARY. SO IT JUST GIVES OUT WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. I EVEN HAD THE BELT REPLACED A FEW MONTHS AGO, SO THAT'S NEW TOO. IT'S DOES THIS PERIODICALLY AND ONLY WHEN I'M DRIVING, AND NOBODY CAN FIGURE OUT WHY. *TR

EVERY TIME IT RAINS, UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SEAT INTO THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD IS FLOODED WITH WATER. *TR

I BROUGHT THIS CAR ON 07/07/04. AT THREE MONTHS THAT I BROUGHT THE CAR I NOTICE THAT THE CAR WASN'T DRIVING RIGHT THE CAR DOESN'T STAY STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD. I GOES SIDEWAYS AS I DRIVE. I TRIED TO FIX THE CAR MANY TIMES AND IT STILL DRIVES THE SAME WAY. ALSO THE HOOD IS NOT PUT ON PROPERLY. I WANT TO CANCEL THE PURCHASE OF THIS CAR. IS GIVING ME TO MANY PROBLEMS AND IT IS JUST COSTING ME MORE MONEY. *NM

See attached document for complaint

IN 2004 MY MOM BOUGHT A NEW 2004 FORD MUSTANG WITH THE 3.9 V-6 MOTOR AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS IT STARTED TICKING REAL LOUD WHEN YOU FIRST START IT UP. COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS A PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST LEAK THAT JUST GOT WORSE, AND AT THE SAME TIME HER ENGINE STARTED MAKING LOUD CHIRPING AND CRAZY NOISES TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE CAM POSITIONING SENSOR THAT WENT OUT. WELL SHE PAID ABOUT $550.00 TO GET THE SENSOR FIXED BUT SHE COULDN'T AFFORD THE EXHAUST TO.SO STILL TO THIS DAY SHE DRIVES HER NICE LOOKING MUSTANG CAREFULLY AROUND TOWN THAT SOUNDS LIKE ITS READY TO DIE, AND I WOULDN'T TRUST DRIVING THAT THING 10 MILES OUT OF TOWN. IT MIGHT NOT BE AN EYE SORE BUT IT SURE IS AN EAR SORE, AND IS STRESSING YEARS OFF MY OLD BROKE MOTHERS LIFE. WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN A FORD FAMILY AND MY DAD RETIRED FROM FORD PROVING GROUNDS. BUT THAT IS THE SORRIEST FORD WE'VE EVER SEEN.OH YEAH, PLUS THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NEVER SHIFTED RIGHT FROM DAY 1, AND SHE HAS HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR, BATTERY ,A PULLEY, THE SERPENTINE BELT ETC.AND IT HAS A LOT OF RATTLES AND ROAD NOISE,AND IT JUST BARELY MADE 60,000 MILES. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT BELT RETRACTS ONLY AND WILL NOT EXTEND, SO THEREFORE IS NON-FUNCTIONAL. THIS IS NOT A CASE OF TWISTED BELT, AS WE HAVE ACCESSED THE PART AND ENSURED "FLAT" WIND. MY SON JUST BOUGHT CAR. PRIOR OWNER SAYS IT NEVER WORKED FOR SEVERAL YEARS. DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT IS ALSO BARELY FUNCTIONAL. BOTH PRESENT MAJOR SAFETY HAZARDS TO OCCUPANTS. LOOKING ON-LINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURER'S DESIGN WHICH SHOULD BE CORRECTED. *TR

IF YOU RECLINE THE SEAT BACK, AND THE SEATBELT IS THROUGH THE PLASTIC LOOP ATTACHED TO SEAT, IT LOOSES TENSION AND FAILS TO RESTRAIN YOU. THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY DURING AN ACCIDENT. *TR

POWER STEERING UNIT WAS EXCESSIVELY NOISY AND DISTRACTING... LOCKS UP ON HARD TURN. DEALER SAYS NATURE OF THE BEAST, WON'T REPLACE IT. COMPLAINED 3 TIMES, CAR JUST WENT OUT OF WARRANTY... SEVERAL HUNDRED LOCAL POLICE CRUISERS HAVE HAD THEIR POWER STEERING REPLACED, BY DEALER AFTER "NEGATIVE PUBLICITY ON TV...DEALERS ATTEMPT TO MAKE YOU OUT AS STUPID, AND KEEP OBFUSCATING TILL YOU JUST GO AWAY. *AK

I WAS MAKING A TURN AROUND A CORNER FROM A STOP GOING AT APPROXIMATELY 7-10 MPH WHEN MY 2004 FORD MUSTANG STARTED GOING OUT OF CONTROL, PULLING TO THE RIGHT INTO ANOTHER LANE AND HEADING IN THE DIRECTION OF THE CURB, I TRIED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BUT THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE PULLING FROM THE BACK, IT EVENTUALLY ENDED UP DOING A 180 DEGREE TURN INTO THE OTHER LANE , FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN THAT LANE. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY AND NORMAL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER CONTACTING THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY ADDRESSING THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A DEFINITE PROBLEM, AS THIS WAS THE THIRD SUCH INCIDENT OF THE VEHICLE LOSING CONTROL. IN THE FIRST TWO INCIDENTS THE VEHICLE HAD STARTED AGAIN GOING OUT OF CONTROL FROM AROUND A CORNER, BUT THE CONDITION WAS WET SO I IGNORED IT. I FEARED THAT THERE WAS A GREATER PROBLEM HOWEVER, WHEN GOING AROUND A CURVE AT BELOW THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT IT ALSO STARTED PULLING FROM THE BACK HEADING INTO THE OTHER LANE. FORTUNATELY IN THE OTHER TWO INCIDENTS I WAS ABLE TO PREVENT THE VEHICLES FROM TOTALLY LOSING CONTROL AND DOING WHAT IT HAD DONE ON THIS DAY. THE FORD GILLESPIE DEALERSHIP LOCATED AT 7111 N.W LOOP 410 SAN ANTONIO TEXAS SAID THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AFTER 12 MILES OF DRIVING AND HAVE SAID THAT THEREFORE THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE HANDLING AROUND CURVES AND CORNERS, AND THIS IS A REAL AND LEGITIMATE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME.

THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING WITH MY 2004 MUSTANG COBRA IS THE GAS PEDAL GETTING STUCK UNDER THE CARPET AND UNDER THE REMOVABLE FLOOR MAT AT WOT AND AN ANNOYING VIBRATION AT HIGHER HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NOTHING SCARIER THAN HAVING YOUR CAR CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE AFTER YOU GET OFF THE GAS AND THE TRAFFIC AHEAD IS STOPPED AND YOU ARE APPROACHING TRIPLE DIGIT SPEEDS. I HAVE HAD TO DEPRESS THE CLUTCH AND PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL, WHILE LETTING THE MOTOR OVER REV AND HIT THE REV-LIMITER, UNTIL I CAN DISLODGE THE PEDAL. THIS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON SUCH A HIGH PERFORMANCE VEHICLE MAKING WELL OVER 400 RWHP. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS A CONTINUED VIBRATION I HAVE SINCE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. AT SPEEDS NEAR 80 MPH THE VIBRATION BEGINS AND WILL GET PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, SOUNDING LIKE THE REAR GLASS IS GOING TO VIBRATE OUT OF THE CAR. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE DRIVESHAFT, BUT I SUSPECT THE PINION ANGLE IS INCORRECT AND CAUSING A BINDING CONDITION IN THE REAR END, WHICH CAN LEAD TO PREMATURE BEARING FAILURE IN THE REAR END. *NM

HAVE HAD NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THE GAS PEDAL STICKING AND HAVING A PROBLEM WITH VIBRATION. MY 2004 FORD MUSTANG GT ALSO HAS PROBLEMS WITH TURNING OVER WHEN WARM. THE CAR HAS TO BE CRANKED MANY TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START. HAVE HAD THE INTO THE FORD DEALER OVER 5 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH NO RESOLUTION.

WAS DRIVING ON OPEN FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 7:30PM ON 10/17/05 WHEN DRIVER HEARD LOUD "POP". SHORTLY AFTERWARD, DRIVERS VISION WAS OBSCURED THROUGH BACK WINDOW ON THE FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE. WHEN DRIVER ARRIVED HOME HE NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED AND THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY OBJECT STRIKING THE VEHICLE. DRIVER TOOK VEHICLE TO FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD THAT FORD DID NOT CONSIDER IT A DEFECTIVE PART. WHEN DRIVER NOTIFIED HIS INSURANCE CARRIER, HE WAS INFORMED THAT THEIR GLASS INSTALLER WAS AWARE OF THE SPONTANEOUS REAR WINDOW EXPLOSIONS OCCURRING IN THE 2002-2004 MODEL YEAR OF MUSTANGS. DRIVER IS HAVING DEALER REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND REPLACED PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED HEARD A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE NOISE SOUNDED LIKE THERE WAS NO FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY FULL. DEALER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE, AND CLAIMED THAT THE STEERING WAS WORKING NORMALLY. *AK POWER STEERING WILL LOCK UP AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STEER VEHICLE, THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, PROBLEM WITH REAR DEFROSTER. CONSUMER BELIEVED THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OF ALL VEHICLES 1999 AND UP. *AK
