2007 Ford Mustang Fuel system Problems

THERE'S A CHRONIC HESITATION WHEN YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR FROM A YIELD/MERGE TYPE SITUATION AT LOW-SPEED. IT'S NOT EVERY TIME BUT MANY TIMES. TODAY I WAS GOING AROUND A CAR THAT WAS SITTING IN THE ROAD WITH IT'S FLASHERS ON (IE DOUBLE PARKED) AND THERE WAS A CAR IN THE OTHER LANE ON THE 2-LANE ONE-WAY STREET AND I STEPPED ON THE PEDDLE TO ACCELERATE SLIGHTLY AND IT TOTALLY CHOKED AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET HIT IN THE REAR AND THEN IT KICKED IN. I NOTED THIS WAY BACK WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND AT THAT TIME I THOUGHT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GEARING WHICH IT STILL COULD. I TOLD SERVICE ABOUT THE ISSUE AND I EVEN TOOK THEM FOR A DRIVE BUT OF COURSE THAT TIME IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I'VE TRIED OVER YEARS TO ID THE PROBLEM MORE BUT WHILE I CAN SEE SOMEWHAT OF A PATTERN IT'S NOT GUARANTEED. ALTHOUGH ONE OF THE MOST LIKELY SITUATIONS IS GOING UP A HILL, TURNING SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT WHILE SLOWING FOR A YIELD SIGN BUT NOT STOPPING AND THEN PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR ONLY TO GET A HICCUP OR CHOKE OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. THERE ARE ALSO ISSUES FILLING THE TANK BECAUSE OF A LACK OF ENOUGH SPACE FOR FUEL TO REPLACE AIR CAUSING THE SELF-SHUTOFF OF THE PUMP TO KICK-IN NOT FILLING YOUR TANK. I RAISE THIS UP AS THIS COULD BE SOME TYPE OF PRESSURIZATION CONSISTENCY. THERE'S ALSO THE AGGRESSIVE ACCELERATOR WHERE YOU PUSH IT A TINY BIT AND IT WANTS TO TAKE OFF ENOUGH TO SQUEAL THE TIRES SOMETIMES.

EVERY TIME YOU GO TO PUT FUEL IN THE CAR, THE PUMP WILL KICK OFF LIKE THE FUEL TANK IS FULL BUT IT'S NOT. THEN THE WHOLE TIME YOU ARE TRYING TO PUMP GAS IT WILL KICK OFF PROBABLY 20 MORE TIMES UNTIL YOU ARE DONE. THIS IS BEEN ONGOING EVERY SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. WHAT SHOULD BE A FIVE MINUTE JOB TO FILL UP YOUR GAS TANK CAN TAKE AS MUCH AS 20 MINUTES. IHAD ANOTHER 2007 FORD MUSTANG THAT DID THE VERY SAME THING BUT I RAN OFF A LOW SHOULDER AND PART OF THE ESTIMATE WAS THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK AND IRONICALLY I NEVER HAD THAT ISSUE AGAIN ON THAT CAR. I OWNING 2 OF THIS SPECIFIC CARS BEING OF THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL, I FEEL IT'S DEFINITELY A DESIGN OR RECALL ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED

BOTH ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH MY CAR NUMEROUS TIMES. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON AND THROUGH RESEARCH, I GUESS IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHERS. WHEN IN TRAFFIC MOVING SLOWLY, WARM TEMPERATURE, MY CAR STALLS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TODAY, IT DID WHILE TURNING LEFT AT A CORNER. I ALMOST GOT HIT. I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE CAR. IT HAPPENS DURING RUSH HOUR SO I END UP MAKING OTHER DRIVERS ANGRY WHICH IS DANGEROUS. THE OTHER ONGOING ISSUE I HAVE IS THE CAR ACCELERATING BY ITSELF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS AND HAS GOT INCREASINGLY WORSE. I NOW HAVE OTHER WITNESS' PEOPLE WHO HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR AND HAD IT HAPPEN. AT MIDAS WHERE I GET MY CAR REPAIRED, THEY DROVE IT AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE BUT DEFINITELY SCARED HIM. THE MECHANIC THOUGHT IT IS COMPUTER RELATED. THEY TRIED TO FIND A FIX ONLINE BUT COULDN'T. SOMEONE HIT MY CAR AND IT WAS AT A SHOP BEING REPAIRED FOR 2 WEEKS. THIS IS A VERY LARGE OPERATION. WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP THE MECHANIC THERE SAID THAT EVERYONE, AFTER DRIVING MY CAR ONCE, REFUSED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. IT SCARED THEM TO DEATH. SHE EXPLAINED HOW IT KEPT ACCELERATING AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THEIR FOOT ON THE GAS, THERE WERE NO CAR MATS, NO EXPLANATION. THEY WILL HAVE THEIR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IT WILL START REVING. WHEN I'M STOPPED AT LIGHTS IT DOES. WHEN I START THE CAR, STILL IN PARK, IT STARTS.THEY STATED THEY DON'T EVER WANT TO DRIVE AND/OR PARK IT AGAIN. THEY SAID IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I KNOW FORD DENIES THE ISSUE BUT THIS IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I AM AWARE OF THE ISSUE SO I DRIVE IT LIKE IT'S A STICK SHIFT IN TRAFFIC AND ALWAYS HAVE MY FOOT READY FOR IT TO ACCELERATE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CALL AND WOULD NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE SELLING IT TO SOMEONE. I DO NOT WANT TO PUT SOMEONE'S LIFE AT RISK. I KNOW SOMEONE HAS TO DIE FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN BUT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM

HESITATION IN GAS PEDAL/THROTTLE BODY. WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STOP THE CAR WILL NOT TAKE THE GAS UNTIL THE GAS PEDAL IS DOWN TO ABOUT HALF THROTTLE AT WHICH TIME IT WILL LUNGE AND I MUST LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL ONLY TO REPEAT THE PROCESS UNTIL THE SPEED REACHES ABOUT 30 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL, 2005-2014 FORD MUSTANG. I HAVE THREE OF THESE AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE PREVIOUS OWNERS SAY THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE MILEAGE WAS PRETTY LOW. HOW MANY MUST DIE OR BE INJURED BEFORE SOMEONE FORCES A RECALL FOR REPAIRS ON THESE VEHICLES?

THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, YESTERDAY BEING THE MOST RECENT. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR WILL DROP INTO LIMP HOME MODE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. IT IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN FORD'S CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03. THEY WILL NOT COVER THE MUSTANG, AS IT WAS NOT PART OF THE PROGRAM. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. *TR

FORD SHELBY GT500 2007, ACCELERATOR STUCK! WHILE GOING AROUND SOME CARS ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT FIRST I DIDN'T BOTHER TO DOWNSHIFT AND DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I REALIZED I NEEDED TO DOWNSHIFT AND TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS WHILE DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH THE RPM'S WENT UP AND I IMMEDIATELY KNEW THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK DOWN. IT FELT LIKE IT SNAPPED OR LOCKED DOWN. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE CAR BY HOLDING THE CLUTCH DOWN AND TAPPING (MORE LIKE STOMPING) THE GAS PEDAL TILL IT RELEASED. I FEEL FORTUNATE THAT THE SHELBY HAS A GOVERNOR THAN KEEPS THE RPM'S UNDER 6,000. MY PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH OLDER CARS IN MY TEENS WITH STICKY ACCELERATOR CABLES WAS ALSO A LIFE SAVER. I SHOW THIS CAR AND FLOOR MATS ARE A NON ISSUE REMOVED WHILE DRIVING TO PRESERVE THEM. AFTER I GOT HOME I WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE WITH CAR SAFELY TURNED OFF. WILL CONTACT FORD DEALER TOMORROW. *TR

CAME BEHIND SLOWER MOVING VEHICLE, PUSHED PEDAL DOWN TO PASS PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. THE CAR LITERALLY WAS DRIVING ITSELF SPEED KEPT INCREASING DRAMATICALLY. SLAMMED ACCELERATOR PEDAL HARD AS I HIT THE BRAKE. FINALLY RELEASED. PULLED OVER NO CARPETING OR MATS INTERFERING WITH THE PEDAL OPERATION. TODAY, 7/25 IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT MORE VIOLENTLY. SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN ENGAGING PASSING GEAR. I HAVE DRIVEN FOR OVER 45 YEARS AS OVER THE ROAD SALES ENGINEER, NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH TOTAL LACK OF VEHICLE CONTROL. WORSE WE ARE IN CANADA IN THE YUKON TERRITORY 3200 MILES FROM OUR FORD STORE. *TR

I HAVE WASTED A LOT OF GASOLINE DOING THIS AND A LOT OF TIME TH GET IT TO A 1/2 A TANK IF I'M LUCKY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OR DEALER FIX. *TR

WHEN TRYING TO PUMP GAS, THE SENSOR CUTS THE FLOW OF GAS OFF AT ABOUT ONE HALF GALLON. IF YOU REMOVE THE NOZZLE, GAS SPLASHES BACK AND ALL OVER THE PERSON PUMPING, THE CAR AND THE GROUND. WHEN YOU CONTINUE TO PUMP, THE SENSOR CUTS OFF EVERY SECOND. THERE IS NO WAY THE TANK CAN BE FILLED IN ITS ENTIRETY. I HAVE HAD THE GAS SET UP REBUILT BY MY LOCAL MECHANIC, THINKING SOMETHING MIGHT BE BLOCKING THE CONNECTION OF GAS ENTRY TO TANK, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. I WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THIS IS COMMON, THAT I MUST FIND A GAS STATION THAT HAS A SPECIFIC PUMP WITH NO SENSOR (NOT A SINGLE STATION ANYWHERE NEAR MY RESIDENCE), I HAVE TO TILT THE PUMP AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE. WELL, I TRIED ALL OF THE SUGGESTIONS, YET MY CAR IS STILL SPLASHING GAS, ETC. THIS IS A HAZARD! NOT ONLY SPILLING GAS ON THE GROUND AND VEHICLE, BUT MYSELF!! ALSO, I CANNOT FILL THE TANK, MAKING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN NEW ENGLAND WINTERS WHERE YOU CAN GET STRANDED FOR HOURS IN YOUR CAR IN ROAD ACCIDENTS, CONDITIONS, ETC. PLEASE HELP! I DO NOT THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO HUNT DOWN A SPECIFIC GAS STATION THAT DOESN'T EXIST, OR SPEND MORE MONEY TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN FIX THIS, OR WEAR GASOLINE WHEREVER I GO. PLEASE HELP!!!!! *TR

HAVING PROBLEMS FILLING UP THE GAS TANK TO MY MUSTANG. SOMETIMES, I CAN ONLY FILL IT UP WITH A FEW GALLONS BEFORE IT SHUTS OFF AND GOING TO DIFFERENT STATIONS DOESN'T HELP. DEALER SAID TO TRY OTHER STATIONS BUT TO NO AVAIL THAT DID NOT WORK. I CAN STILL ONLY FILL MY TANK UP ABOUT 1/2 WAY AND THAT CAN TAKE SO LONG TO DO. *TR

2007 FORD MUSTANG WILL NOT FILL UP PAST 1/2 TANK OF FUEL, THE DEALER STATES THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND TO TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT STATION. I'VE BEEN TO STATIONS ALL OVER THE WEST AND RARELY FIND ONE THAT WILL LET ME FILL UP EVEN WHEN RUNNING THE PUMP AT MINIMUM WHILE NOT FULLY ENGAGING THE PUMP INTO THE FILLER. I'VE NOTICED THAT NO PUMPS THAT HAVE VAPOR RECOVERY BOOTS WILL FILL THE CAR UP BEYOND 1/3 TANK. WHICH PRETTY MUCH RULES OUT TAKING THE CAR TO CALIFORNIA FOR ANY REASON. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A MAJOR DEFECT HERE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED! *TR

FUEL FILLING IS AWKWARD TO SAY THE LEAST! I CAN ONLY FILL TO JUST OVER HALF A TANK OF FUEL THEN THE CLICKER FORCES ME TO STOP. THE OWNERS WEBSITE CLAIM THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2007 MUSTANGS AND THAT WE SHOULD TRY ANOTHER GAS STATION WITH A LESS SENSITIVE FILLER OR TURN THE NOZZLE TO THE 2 O CLOCK POSITION. TURNING THE NOZZLE DOES WORK FROM TIME TO TIME BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. WHY AREN'T THE DEALERS ACKNOWLEDGING THIS IS A PROBLEM A PROVIDE A SUITABLE SOLUTION? THIS WON'T DO MUCH FOR MARKETING OR FUTURE SALES IF THIS IS LEFT! *TR

I HAVE A 2007 FORD MUSTANG 4.0 V6 WITH APPROXIMATELY 42K MILES. IT HAS RECENTLY DEVELOPED A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT WHICH THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE. FOR NO APPARENT REASON, WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND WITH MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BREAK PEDAL,, THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY GO FULL THROTTLE. THIS FORCES THE CAR TO SUDDENLY LUNGE FORWARD AS THE REAR TIRES START SPINNING, OVERRIDING THE FRONT BREAKS. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO COME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO COLLIDING WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME OR ENTERING AN INTERSECTION INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE ONLY RECOURSE IS TO QUICKLY TURN OFF THE IGNITION WHICH SEEMS TO RESET THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS WITH SOME REGULARITY, APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 3 TIMES A DAY BUT IS NOT REPRODUCIBLE ON DEMAND. THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS OFFERED TO INVESTIGATE, AT MY EXPENSE, BUT WITH NO ASSURANCE THAT THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE CORRECTED. I HAVE HAD TO ALTER THE WAY THAT I DRIVE TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS BY LEAVING ADDITIONAL SPACE BETWEEN MY CAR AND THE ONE IN FRONT OF ME AND AT INTERSECTIONS. I FEAR THAT I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PREVENT MY VEHICLE FROM BECOMING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. *TR

HAVING PROBLEMS TRYING TO GAS UP MY 2007 MUSTANG AT LEAST EVERY 3RD OR 4TH FILLUP. NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS IN THE TANK THE PUMP CLICKS LIKE WHEN FULL BUT IN FACT IS ONLY HALF FULL. WHEN TANK IS HALF FULL IT CLICKS AT 3/4 FULL. TRIED EVERY OTHER MEANS TO FILL BUT NOTHING WORKS. PHONED MY DEALER, (VIOLETTE MOTORS IN EDMUNDSTON, NB. CANADA) TOLD ME HE NEVER HAD ANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SUBJECT. I TOLD HIM TO LOOK AT HIS TSB,S AND HE WOULD SURELY SEE THERE ARE PROBLEMS. HE TOLD ME THAT HIS INSTRUCTIONS WERE TO TELL ME TO GAS UP ELSEWHERE. *TR

THERE IS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE BUILD UP IN FUEL TANK WHEN FILLING. SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN DURING EXTREME TEMPERATURES (I.E. SUMMER HEAT, EXTREME COLD). IT TAKES THREE TIMES AS LONG TO FILL DUE TO THE FACT THAT I CAN BARELY PULL THE TRIGGER IF I WANT THE CAR TO ACCEPT GAS. *TR

IT CAME ON THE 1ST TIME THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT IT, AND HAS COME ON 3 TIMES SINCE AT RANDOM TIMES. THE FORD SERVICE DEPT. HAS PUT IT THROUGH THE MACHINES THEY HAVE, AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE "VERY SMALL EVAPORATVE LEAK" THEY SAY IT HAS, THEY HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND ALL THEY CAN SAY IS THE SYSTEM IS TOO SENSITIVE FOR SOME REASON AND UNTIL THEY CAN FIND A FIX FOR IT, IF THEY CAN I WILL JUST HAVE TO KEEP BRINGING IT IN EVERY TIME IT COMES ON AND HAVE THEM RUN IT THROUGH THE MACHINE AND TURN THE LIGHT OFF. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2007 FORD MUSTANG GT IN AUGUST OF 2007. IT WAS A FLOOR MODEL THAT THE DEALER HAD DONE MODIFICATIONS TO. ON 24 JAN 08 I WENT TO FILL "TOP-OFF" THE FUEL WHICH WAS BELOW 3/4 OF TANK. AFTER ONLY GETTING ABOUT 1.87 GALLONS IN, THE PUMP CLICKED OFF. I TRIED TO PUMP MORE GAS INTO THE TANK AND WAS SURPRISED WHEN IT STARTED TO OVERFLOW. (AFTER STARTING THE CAR BACK UP, THE FUEL GAUGE WAS STILL IN THE SAME SPOT BEFORE I STARTED FUELING) I ALSO NOTICED THAT IN THE RECENT WEEKS MY "PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT" DOES NOT READ IT IS IN THE "OFF" POSITION WHEN NO PASSENGER IS PRESENT, EVEN THOUGH IT DID READ THIS BEFORE. I HAVE SINCE CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AND AM BRINGING THE CAR IN TO HAVE THEM CHECK THESE PROBLEMS AS WELL AS OTHERS I AM CONCERNED WITH AFTER READING THE FORUMS. *TR

I HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT GAS FILL-UP. I LIVE NEAR THE BEACH AND I NOTICED SOMETHING RATHER STRANGE ABOUT THE WIND OFF THE COASTLINE. IF THE CAR WAS FACING EAST , IT FILLED JUST FINE BUT WHEN FACING WEST IT WOULD NOT FILL. THE DEALER WAS STUMPED. IT APPEARS THAT THE BREEZE/WIND CAUSES THE FUMES TO TRAP AND THE CAR THINKS IT'S FULL ALREADY . . . IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE BUT NO PROBLEM ANYMORE FILLING THE TANK - JUST KEEP THE CAR FACING THE WIND!! *TR
