2006 Ford Mustang Gt

I HAVE 2006 MUSTANG GT, BROUGHT NEW AND THE PAINT ON THE HOOD IS FALLING OFF, I TOOK TO A FORD DEALER BODY SHOP, AND WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF $600.00 , TO REPAINT THE HOOD. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY ON THE PAINT IS ONLY GOOD FOR 36,000 MILES OR 3 YEARS. THE PAINT WAS NOT FALLING OFF AT 36,000 MILES, AND I THINK FORD SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME. *TR

2006 FORD MUSTANG GT FOR THE LAST 12 MONTHS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ACCELERATION WITHOUT APPLYING GAS PEDAL. HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT LOW RATES OF SPEED. WHEN REMOVE FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL TO SLOW VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES JUMPING FROM 500RPM TO 1500+RPMS. HAVE TO DEPRESS BRAKE HARD TO KEEP VEHICLE FROM JUMPING FORWARD. BIG PROBLEM WHEN TRYING TO COME TO A STOP AT INTERSECTIONS. HAVE REARENDED VEHICLE IN FRONT BECAUSE THE MUSTANG JUMPED FORWARD AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND REMOVING FOOT FROM BRAKE PEDAL. NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE TO VEHICLE STRUCK BY THE MUSTANG. MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND ANY CAUSE FOR THE ENGINE REVVING. THIS HAS GONE FROM AN OCCASIONAL INCIDENT TO AN EVERY DAY OCCURRENCE. *TR

2006 MUSTANG GT MANUAL TRANSMISSION. REPLACEMENT OF BATTERY RESULTS IN ENGINE STALLING WITH AIR CONDITIONING ON WHEN CLUTCH DEPRESSED.. THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES ON REPLACING BATTERY THE COMPUTER NEEDS TO RELEARN IDLE. THIS DOES NOT WORK AT LEAST NOT IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN OVER A NUMBER OF DAYS WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING AND DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH EITHER COMING TO STOP OR TURNING A CORNER THE ENGINE IDLE WILL DROP FAR ENOUGH WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL STALL RESULTING IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES POSSIBLY CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE VEHICLE RAN CORRECTLY BEFORE THE BATTERY REPLACEMENT AND ONLY HAS 22,000 MILES. GOOGLING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET FINDS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WHICH ARE IDENTICAL OF WHICH OWNERS OF THE 4.6L FORD V8 (NOT JUST MUSTANG) ARE REPORTING IDLE AND STALLING PROBLEMS AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY AND WITH THE ISSUE NOT RESOLVING ITSELF AS THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES RESULTING IN EITHER A COMPUTER REFLASH OR THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT. THIS DEFECT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. FORD SHOULD RECALL AFFECTED VEHICLES AND HAVE THE DEFAULT IDLE SETTING SET FOR A HIGHER VALUE SO THE AIR CONDITIONER WHEN ENGAGED DOES NOT RESULT IN THE ENGINE STALLING. THE IDLE OF ENGINE IS ERRATIC WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON SINCE IT IS ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING DUE TO THE LOW IDLE SPEED < 500RPM. BY NOT USING THE AIR CONDITIONER THE IDLE SPEED WILL RETURN TO ITS NORMAL SPEED OF AROUND 600 TO 700RPM BUT STILL FLUCTUATES SLIGHTLY. NOT BEING ABLE TO USE THE AIR CONDITIONER IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH EAST. THE CONTROL FEED BACK OF THE IDLE SYSTEM IS INCORRECTLY OPERATING WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER LOAD ON IT. *TR

2006 MUSTANG GT- FUEL SENDER NEEDS REPLACEMENT. TROUBLE CODE P0456 COMES UP.

I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT STARTING IN OCTOBER 2007, BUT THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT THE BRAKES AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. THEY WOULDN'T EVEN RECORD IT IN THEIR COMPUTERS. THE PROBLEM HAS ONLY BEEN REPLICATED WHEN TURNING AND HITTING A BUMP SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE BREAK PEDAL GIVES OUT AND DEPRESSES ALL THE WAY WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY BREAKING.
