| Vehicle has intermittent hesitation problem. could result in serious problem when entering parkway. dealership is privy to this complaint, but say they can't do anything unless they create the problem which can't be done unless vehicle is driven on parkway for 1-2 hrs. though this problem has occurred locally its not likely that technician will be able to re-create this driving locally. this problem can be a dangerous one if not repaired. fords tsb recognizes what's causing problem and i have the solution for it. but once again, dealer says their hands are tied. *tr | |||

| #1 - there are no identifiable events that either originally, or subsequently lead up to the failure(s). #2 - the 'failure' is on-going, and intermittent in nature, with the car stalling randomly, not responding to the gas pedal and then surging forward a few seconds later and exhibiting lag time when shifting. we had several episodes of stalling when going through an intersection which has put us in 'the line of fire' with on-coming traffic. we have also experienced complete shut-down of the vehicle when just going down the road. #3 - the car has been in and out of the shop for over two years, with periods experiencing o.k. performance, and these intermittent issues. *tr | |||

| Our ford mustang gt that was purchased for our 17 yr old daughter was purchased 2-21-2006 it had its first problems at 629 miles on 3-4-2006 the dealership replaced some followers and some lifters and some camshaft parts. we've been told all should be replaced the whole bank. dealer won't do anything about it car started smoking a week later and making ticking noise again. dealer said it didn't do it there so nothing was done. next, car started hesitating after driving on hwy couple hrs. dealership replaced fuel pump and gear box was hot and rattling so they replaced it. then car accelerated on its own from 50 to 90 miles hr. dealership couldn't find anything that was at 8300 miles now at 9700 miles car has taking off again from 40 to 80 when our daughter put it in neutral and coast to side of road our daughter and her friends are to afraid to drive it now and its been at dealership for 2 full weeks also the paint on the passenger rear fender is bubbling off the car. someone is going to get hurt, probably already have died but know one has checked into it. sorry about wording you only get 2000 words to describe everything. like you really want to know if your restricting the amount of words. *jb | |||

| At 19,000 miles my car began overheating during the test drive and had radiator fluid spilled in the engine compartment. inspecting the upper radiator hoses one of the clamps was broken. while replacing the clamp i discovered that another one was broken as well. a search online of complaints about this problem revealed similar complaints. i no longer have the old clamps. *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. | |||

| My 2006 mustang gt has been in the service department three times within 2 months time. when you make a left or right turn there is a grinding sound. they have installed 2 clutch packs (kit-axle dif, 3 gear and pinions, and a new flange. i know it is not the way the vehicle is driven. it was bought new in march 2006 and it only has 7000 miles on it and this is february 2007. the car is not beat at all. if these vehicles are supposed to be high performance vehicles. could you imagine what would happen if the rear end was to lock up? am i the only one having this problem? also there is a ticking sound that sounds like the valves are rattling, there is a tsb on the valves but dealership says that is not the problem. i only use bp and amoco gas, the gas that is preferred for the vehicle. *nm | |||
