| 2006 mustang gt- fuel sender needs replacement. trouble code p0456 comes up. the fuel pump on vehicles built before january 1st, 2006 had an oversized orifice and would cause a leak in the evaporative system. the fuel pump itself will not be at danger for a failure although with an evap code you may lose fuel economy due to the tank not being properly presurized. also you will not pass a 'smog' test with this code | |||

| Failure occurs everytime you attempt to fill the fuel tank. the vehicle will not take fuel. ford has put out a tsb 07-21-12 to address the issue. if tsb does not solve the problem-there is no solution according to ford. *tr | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2006 ford mustang gt. the contact stated that she cannot place fuel in the vehicle. the fuel gauge indicates that there is a quarter tank of gas or a half tank of gas; however, the fuel pump will shut off and prevent her from placing any more fuel into the tank. when filling the tank, gasoline would also spit back out from the vehicle. the dealer stated that the slow fill was faulty. the manufacturer could not assist because there was a technical service bulletin produced for the failure and they knew how to perform the repair. the failure mileage was 33,000 and current mileage was 35,900. | |||

| My 2006 mustang gt will not take fuel. it has had the tank replaced once. the very next time i need to fuel up, after getting the new tank, the same thing happened. it will not fuel up. the car has been at the dealers since then (10/24/07). the dealer had ford engineers out to look at the car-they say it cannot be fixed. how do you manufacturer something that cannot be fixed? *tr | |||

| Purchased my 2006 mustang gt in december of '06. it had approx. 59 miles on it. i have had nothing but problems with this car. the latest (and current) problem is that the car will not take any gas. the first time the problem occurred the dealership changed the fuel tank. the very first time i tried to fill up the same thing happened-it will not take the gas. the car has been sitting at the dealer since 10/25/07-today is the 28th of november. ford has had several engineers out to look at the car and they can not resolve the problem. *tr | |||

| I am having a difficult time filling the tank of the 2006 mustang gt. the automatic pump is triggered all the time, and only allows a small amount of gas to be pumped. i have also had the gas indicator in the dashboard tell me i was on empty when i was not. i have called several dealerships and ford motor company directly, and have been told this is not a problem they recognize or have ever heard of. they also will not cover any cost to repair or diagnose the problem.*ak | |||

| On the 27th of may 2006 i took my mustang gt with only 1,069 miles to brunswick ford. the car was shifting like a 95 gt hard to shift on the way my fuel jet pump went out. they fixed the jet pump but said the trans was fine. at 3,556 miles i took it back for the transmission . it was making a winding sound they replaced the internals and the noise was still there. so they replaced the transmission. they had to bleed the clutch 4 times to get it to shift half way right .now at 5,713 miles the rear caliper was sticking. the replaced the caliper. and it left me stranded at work with a stuck caliper. this is a mustang gt not a pinto and ford needs to come up with a plan to fix this car. *nm | |||

| 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 | |||
