2007 Ford Mustang Brakes Problems

I WAS DRIVING AROUND OUR LOCAL LAKE DOING 25 MPH. I HAD JUST COME AROUND A CURVE AND WAS HEADED FOR ANOTHER CURVE PRETTY QUICKLY. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED SPEEDING UP ON ITS OWN. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND I HIT THE BRAKES TO TRY TO SLOW DOWN AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR CONTINUED TO SPEED UP ON ITS OWN. MY SPEED GOT UP TO ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN I CAME UP ON A CURVE. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AGAIN AND TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL BUT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AT THIS POINT. IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND I MISSED THE CORNER AND LANDED IN A POND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LAKE IN ABOUT 3 1/2 FEET OF WATER. MY CAR WAS THEN SUBMERGED UP THE TOP OF THE TRUNK IN WATER.

I RECENTLY WENT FOR A INSPECTION STICKER AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY PARKING BRAKE WASN'T HOLDING. I HAVE CHANGED THE PARKING BRAKE CABLES BUT THE CAR STILL HAS THE SAME ISSUE . IT WILL HOLD AND THE CAR KEEPS MOVING AT ALL TIMES AND INTERVALS. I HAD NEVER USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SO I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG ITS BEEN HAPPENING UNTIL NOW.

I WAS AT THE EXIT OF A PARKING LOT AND WAITING TO TURN OUT ONTO THE STREET. WHEN I BEGAN TO TURN, MY CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE WAY FASTER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE. I HIT THE BRAKES BUT MY CAR WASN'T SLOWING DOWN AND KEPT ACCELERATING. I HIT THE "OFF" ON MY CRUISE CONTROL THINKING MAYBE IT BECAME ACTIVE BUT NOTHING HAPPENED, AS I BEGAN TO COME CLOSE TO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME I TURNED LEFT ONTO THE NEXT STREET STILL HITTING MY BRAKES (AT THIS POINT I HAD GONE A BLOCK AND A HALF WITH MY BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED IN). AS I TURNED, I HAD TROUBLE CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE I ENDED UP HITTING THE CURB WITH MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. AFTER THE IMPACT THE ACCELERATION HAD STOPPED, I COULD HEAR SOMETHING HAD BROKEN, AND FELT IT AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN BECAUSE MY CAR WASN'T TRAVELING STRAIGHT AND I COULDN'T TURN EASILY. THERE WERE KIDS IN THE STREET THAT I DIDN'T SEE BEFORE I HAD TURNED, I SWERVED AGAIN TO AVOID THEM (LUCKILY JUST MISSING THEM BECAUSE AS STATED BEFORE, I COULDN'T TURN IT VERY EASILY) AND MADE IT ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN THE BLOCK BEFORE MY CAR CAME TO A FULL STOP (THE ENTIRE TIME STILL HITTING MY BRAKES). I DID NOT SEE THE ACTUAL SPEED I WAS GOING, THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING RAPIDLY AND TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL. THE CAR DEFECT HAS COST ME APPROXIMATELY $4000.00 IN CAR REPAIR FEES AND ALSO DEPRECIATION. IT WAS SUCH A HARD IMPACT THAT I EXPECTED MY AIR BAGS TO BLOW, BUT THEY DIDN'T. I HOPE THEY ARE NOT DEFECTIVE AS WELL. *TR

I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE BUT SINCE THEN TWO OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR HAVE EXPERIENCED IT. I NOW WARN ANYONE WHO HAS TO DRIVE MY CAR THAT IT DRIVES BY ITSELF. I HAVE RECEIVED DIRTY LOOKS FROM PEOPLE, BEEN YELLED OUT, DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. IT ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. I WILL BE BEHIND SOMEONE AT A LIGHT, FOOT ON BRAKE AND IT WILL START REVVING. THEY THINK I AM MESSING WITH THEM. I WILL BE IN NEUTRAL AND IT WILL DRIVE FASTER. I WILL BE IN REVERSE SLOWLY AND IT FLOORS. I HAD TO BE TAKEN TO EMERGENCY BY A NEIGHBOR. I WARNED HER AND WHEN WE WERE RETURNING HOME, SHE PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND IT JUST STARTED TO SPEED UP FAST. SHE NAILED DOWN THE BRAKE. IT SCARED HER TO DEATH. SHE THANKED ME FOR WARNING HER BECAUSE OTHERWISE WE WOULD HAVE CRASHED AND BEEN HURT. SHE WON'T EVER DRIVE MY CAR AGAIN. I HAD MY CAR IN VALET IN LAS VEGAS AT GREEN VALLEY RANCH AND THE GUY WORKING WAS PULLING THE CAR AROUND TO ME AND IT WAS REVVING REALLY HIGH AND WANTING TO SPEED. HE WAS APOLOGIZING PROFUSELY. HE KEPT SAYING HE WAS NOT SHOWING OFF OR PLAYING AROUND. HE KEPT SAYING HE WAS DRIVING SLOW, PLEASE DON'T THINK HE WAS ACTING CRAZY AND HE PARKS FERRARIS! I TOLD HIM IT WAS OKAY AND THAT MY CAR DRIVES ITSELF AND THAT I KNEW HE WASN'T RESPONSIBLE. HE SAID HE WILL NEVER PARK ANOTHER ONE OF THESE AGAIN. HE NEEDED HIS JOB. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE FORD WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS ONE. IS THIS LIKE THE WHOLE TOYOTA THING? IF THERE IS A LARGE LAWSUIT CAN I BE CONTACTED? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING? I KNOW THERE ARE MANY MORE COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE THAN ON THIS SITE. I HAVE SEEN THEM BUT PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THIS IS USELESS. IS THAT CORRECT? I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW *JS

I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY INTO A REST STOP AREA. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, AND ONLY ON THE BRAKE. I STOPPED IN A PARKING SPACE AND MOVED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LEVER FROM DRIVE TO PARK. THE RPM INSTANTLY INCREASED FROM APPROXIMATELY 600 RPM IN DRIVE TO APPROXIMATELY 6000 RPM IN PARK. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND GAVE THE GAS PEDAL A QUICK TAP. THE RPM RETURNED TO NORMAL, ABOUT 750 RPM IN PARK. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE CAR, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY CONTACTED FORD, WHO MAINTAINED THE INCIDENT COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED THE WAY I DESCRIBED IT. THEY FURTHER TOLD THE DEALERSHIP NOT TO PERFORM ANY REPAIRS UNLESS A SIMILAR INCIDENT RECURRED. THE DEALERSHIP THINKS THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE FLY BY WIRE, THROTTLE BODY AND/OR CONTROL OF THE FLOW SYSTEM. *TR THE CONSUMER HAD CONCERNS ABOUT BRAKE FLUID. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATED TO USE DOT 3 BRAKE FLUID. HOWEVER, THE DEALER USED DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID. UPDATED 11/09/15. *JB

I DRIVE A 2007 MUSTANG, MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IN 2008, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SEEMED TO NOT BE RELEASING ALL THE WAY. I COULD TELL THIS BECAUSE A) MY VEHICLE WOULD SLOW DOWN MORE QUICKLY THAN BEFORE, B) ON A SLIGHT GRADE, MY VEHICLE WOULD REMAIN IN PLACE. THIS ISSUE OCCURED AFTER NORMAL USE OF E-BRAKE NOT BUT 10 MONTHS AFTER THE BRAND NEW PURCHASE FROM DARCARS IN LANHAM, MD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO LINDSEY FORD IN WHEATON, MD (AROUND THE SAME TIME THE AIR BAG MODULE RECALL WAS ISSUED...) AND THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THEY "COULD NOT VERIFY MY CONCERNS AT THIS TIME". HAVING REPLACED THE AIR BAG MODULE FREE OF CHARGE, I WAS IDIOTICALLY APPEASED WITH JUST THAT AND DIDN'T PRESS THE E-BRAKE ISSUE FUTHER. COINCIDENTALLY, AS I WAS LEAVING THEIR LOT, I WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP WHICH SEEMED TO RELEASE THE BRAKE ENOUGH TO NOT CAUSE ANY NOTICABLE BRAKE TENSION WHILE DRIVING. NEEDLESS TO SAY, FROM THAT POINT ON I WAS RELUCTANT TO USE THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE AND ALWAY KEPT MY VEHICLE IN GEAR WHEN PARKED. JUST RECENTLY, I HAD ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL-- GRADUALLY SINKING TO THE FLOOR (WHICH I WAS TOLD WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH SLAVE), AND AGAIN I WENT TO LINDSEY TO SEE IF THEY COULD HELP. THIS TIME AROUND, THEY NOTICE THAT THE E-BRAKE IS VERY MUCH STUCK, AND SUGGESTED I REPLACE THE BRAKE CABLE. $500.00 I DO NOT HAVE. THEY WONT EVEN BOTHER TO LOOK AT THE CLUTCH SLAVE UNTIL THE BRAKE CABLES HAVE BEEN REPLACED.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 FORD MUSTANG WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE BEFORE THE INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED 04/11/09, COMPLAINING OF SIMILAR ISSUES. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN MAY OF 2007. I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR FEELING SLUGGISH AND FEELING LIKE IT WAS VERY STIFF TO SHIFT OR STICKING. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY AUGUST 07 AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM THAT I WAS JUST NOT USED TO THE CAR. ALL THEY DID WAS DRIVE IT THEY DID NOT INSPECT THE CAR. I THEN HAD A PROBLEM IN JAN. OR FEB. OF 2009 IN WHICH IS DISENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE CAR IT WAS SLUGGISH AND WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS AND WOULDN'T DRIVE PROPERLY. THE ABS LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR JUST SAT SPINNING. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT IT IN THE GARAGE FOR A COUPLE HOURS THEN TOLD ME IT WAS FINE TO DRIVE, THEY SAID THE CAR JUST NEEDED TO UNTHAW?? THEY DID NOT LOOK AT IT AGAIN. THIS LEADS UP TO 04/11/2009 IN WHICH I PARKED THE CAR MADE SURE THE PARKING BRAKE WAS SET AND THE CAR WAS IN GEAR. AS I WENT INTO MY HOUSE I HEARD A CLICKING TYPE SOUND AND THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. IT ROLLED ACROSS A PARKING LOT INTO THE NEIGHBORS YARD, OVER A TREE STUMP, HIT A MAILBOX BEFORE COMING TO REST AGAINST A TELEPHONE POLE. THIS WAS WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED AND THE CAR STILL IN GEAR. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND THAT IS WHERE IT CURRENTLY SITS. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 FORD MUSTANG (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) AND I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR A YEAR. ON NOV 18, I HAD PARKED MY CAR WITH THE PARKING/ EMERGENCY BRAKE ON, LIKE I HAVE DONE EVERYDAY IN PAST 1 YEAR. WHEN I TRIED DRIVING BACK, THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. I TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE BRAKES MUST HAVE FROZEN BECAUSE TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW 30 F. THIS IS NOW HAPPENING EVERYDAY THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKES DON'T WORK IN COLD WEATHER. I'VE CHECKED NUMEROUS CONSUMER FORUMS AND A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE FACING THIS PROBLEM. APPARENTLY, THE RUBBER BOOTS AT THE END OF THE BRAKE CABLES WEAR OUT VERY QUICKLY, AND THEY COLLECT WATER OR ICE, WHICH CREATES THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR REFUSED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE CABLES BECAUSE THEY WORK WHEN ITS WARM. HOWEVER THIS DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING AN EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN YOU CANNOT USE IT FOR 6 MONTHS IN A YEAR. NOW I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MALFUNCTIONING BRAKES. *TR
