2006 Ford Mustang Gt

AT THIS POINT, THERE IS NO SAFETY PROBLEM. BUT THE SYMPTOM SUGGESTS THE POSSIBILITY. THE SYMPTOM IS A BIRD-LIKE SQUEAK IN THE RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION WHENEVER THE CAR ENCOUNTERS A SLIGHT UPWARD BUMP. THE DEALER CHECKED OUT THE CAR AND FOUND NOTHING AWRY. BASED ON MY OWN ANALYSIS I SPRAYED WD-40 INTO THE TIE ROD AND ROLL BAR BUSHINGS AND REALIZED A SHORT-TERM BENEFIT (NOISE GONE). BUT THE NOISE IS NOW BACK, AND I FEAR THAT THE CAUSE IS SIGNIFICANT. I'LL TRY AGAIN WITH MORE ROBUST LUBRICANTS, BUT I STILL HAVE A CONCERN FOR THE ROOT CAUSE. *TR

POOLS OF WATER UNDER REMOVABLE FLOOR MATS ON FRONT DRIVER & PASSENGER FLOORS. CARPET IS ROTTED & SMELLS OF MOLD/MILDEW. FLOOR UNDER DRIVER SEAT BUCKLES UNDER DRIVER WEIGHT(120 LBS) ELECTRICAL BOX UNDER PASSENGER SEAT IS SITTING IN WATER. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER FOR UNRELATED WARRANTY ITEMS & ADVISED THEM OF WATER. I WAS TOLD TO OPEN CONVERTIBLE TOP & RECLOSE AS THAT WOULD PROBABLY RESOLVE. BROUGHT CAR BACK & SAID CAR WAS SOAKED & THEN ADVISED WARRANTY EXPIRED 40 DAYS AGO.CARPETS NEED TO BE REPLACED AS UNSAFE MOLD REMAINS & WIFE EXPERIENCING CHRONIC RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS. AFRAID FLOOR UNDER DRIVER FEET WILL OPEN UP DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST & CAUSE INJURY TO FOOT/FEET WITH ROADWAY OR WORSE, DRIVER SEAT WILL FALL THROUGH. THEY WERE AWARE OF INHERENT PROBLEM & DISREGARDED DANGER TO PUBLIC HEALTH. *TR

I AM CONTACTING YOU TO ATTEMPT TO URGE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE LARGE NUMBERS OF ISSUES ON 2005-06 FORD MUSTANGS (REFERENCE TSB 06-5-4). THIS TSB REFERS TO A DEFECTIVE BRAKE CABLE ORIGINALLY INSTALLED ON THESE CARS IN WHICH THE RUBBER BOOT IS PRONE TO PREMATURE FAILURE. THIS FAILURE ALLOWS MOISTURE INTO THE BRAKE HOUSING. IN VERY COLD TEMPERATURES THE PARKING BRAKE WILL FREEZE DISABLING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE PURSUED REPAIR OF THIS ISSUE WITH MY FORD DEALER AS WELL AS FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY STATE THAT AT THIS TIME THE NUMBER OF FAILURES HAVE NOT REQUIRED THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL. THIS IS THEIR POSITION EVENTHOUGH THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE OEM HARDWARE WITH UPGRADED MATERIALS. THIS IS CLEARLY A FAILURE IN A COMPONENT AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED REGARDLESS OF THE WARRANTY WHICH EXPIRED LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE TO URGE FORD TO REMEDY THE PROBLEMS THAT SO MANY OF ITS CUSTOMERS ARE FACING AND ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. *TR

HESITATION AT ACCELERATION AND UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. HESITATION WAS NOT CORRECTED AT DEALERSHIP, I CORRECTED THROUGH COMPUTER REPROGRAM WITH DIABLO PROGRAMMER TO DECREASE AMOUNT OF THROTTLE DELAY, HESITATION GONE. UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CORRECTED BY MODIFYING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO INCREASE DISTANCE BETWEEN GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS WHICH ARE EXTREMELY TO CLOSE, SOLVED PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP MECHANICS ARE INEPT AND UNSKILLED. TOOK ME HALF HOUR TO IDENTIFY AND CORRECT PEDAL ISSUE. *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.

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
