| My brakes started making a noise so i decided to get them checked. the dealer said my emergency cable had slipped and fell on my rotor and split it. they had to replace both cables,my back brakes my rotor, flush out my brake fluid and replace it i called the ford contact number and the person i talked to you took the information down and ask if i thought ford should be responsible to fix my car i said yes because i researched online and found a lot of 2005 for mustangs that have had problems with their emergency brakes and cable. i think there needs to be a recall on this. some of the people that have had this issue states the ford puts out an internal memo but will not recall it. no at my dealership can explain how this happen. when i picked my car back up i asked is there a way i will know this will not happen again they said these cable have better rubber on them. this makes me think that the ones put on the 2005 mustang were not good so they made new ones better. so this is why i think this needs to be recalled so no one else will have to go days without a car. *tr | |||

| I am the owner of a 2005 ford mustang with a standard transmission. this morning (with overnight temperatures in the 20s) as i started out of my driveway to go to work, my car stalled. i restarted the car and tried one more to move forward. the vehicle stalled again. on the third attempt, i was applied more fuel to get the car moving, but my back wheels were very hesitant (as if the brakes were locked up). i drove the car several blocks to my repair facility. when i got out of the car, i could smell that the brakes had gotten hot. my service associate took the vehicle into the garage and put it on the lift to inspect. he stated that the brakes had seized (unknown reason at this time). upon removal of the driver's side wheel the problem was resolved. the mechanic stated that there was, most likely, some moisture in the emergency brake line and that during the short time that the vehicle was in the heated garage the line had unfrozen (melted). he suggested that i not use the emergency brake for parking in subfreezing temps. he also stated that ford is aware of this issue and that i should contact ford for final resolution. i contacted my local ford service department who read a bulletin confirming that ford is, in fact, aware of this defect in the original emergency brake cable / boot. the service technician went on to say that ford has an improved part and that the boot and cable lining have new features to resolve the defect. i then contacted ford customer service who also acknowledged that ford is aware of this defect, but at this time there is no recall and that ford's current policy disallows reimbursement for the stated defect. failure of the braking system could potentially cause severe injury or death to myself, passengers and anyone who might be in the vicinity during a failure with the braking system. at this point, i obviously need to have the vehicle repaired. since there is no current recall ford has declined reimbursement. | |||

| Right brake sticks causing rotors and pads to heat up and catch on fire. the dealer replaced the pads and rotors and i had to pay for it. the problem still there. i have also read forums online where other owners have had the brake catch fire due to it catching. the mechanic at the dealer admitted that the caliper was not working right, but dealer refused to replace it. my dealer will not fix problem or ever look at the rotor that is already torn up and over heater again after only 2 days of driving. i don't know if anyone else has been injured or killed, but i am sure if this is not looked into someone will be soon. i am not the only owner that is having this problem. dealer tried to claim we drove with e-brake on. it was not on. vehicle pulled to the right as if it was a alignment problem. when i stopped there was smoke coming from the right rear brake. i have the rotors and pads to prove that the only one that was messed up is the right. it almost caught on fire. *nm | |||

| Dt: contact stated that there was a small amount of brake fluid that was leaking from the cap on the master cylinder. the service dealer replaced the cap on the master cylinder to remedy the problem. this did not stop the brake fluid from leaking. the concern was that the brake fluid was leaking onto the structure of the vehicle. over time, this may cause excessive corrosion on the structure of the vehicle. the service advisor stated that this was normal for this model. another complaint the contact stated t was that he power driven seat made a creaking noise. the dealer would adjust the seat to keep it from creaking. the concern was that if he has to adjust the seat while driving it may cause the contact to become distracted and could result in an accident. | |||
