Consumer Description

THE TUNNEL DOWN THE CENTER OF THE CAR GETS EXTREMELY HOT AT THE FRONT OF THE TUNNEL NEAR THE PEDALS. WHEN THE BARE METAL OF THE TUNNEL IS TOUCHED IT IS HOT ENOUGH TO INDUCE A BURN. DEALER CONTACTED FORD AND TOLD ME IT WAS "NORMAL". AS THE PLASTICS AND CARPETING TOUCHING THE TUNNEL AGE, I AM CONCERNED THIS MAY PRESENT A FIRE HAZARD. AFTER REVIEWING POSTS ON TWO MUSTANG FORUMS, OTHERS APPARENTLY HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. THE CAR IS A GT V8 WITH A MANUAL 5-SPEED TRANSMISSION. *JB
