NHTSA Complaint #10639394 — 2005 FORD MUSTANG

THIS IS REGARDING A DEFECT, BUT NOT AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUES ON MY 2000 MUSTANG, WHICH FORD DECLARED A LEMON 2 YEARS AFTER I PURCHASED IT NEW. PRIMARY PROBLEM IS FAULT IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, WHICH CAUSES INTERMITTENT AND INCREASINGLY INOPERATIVE PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE DYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, EVEN AT HIGH SPEEDS, LOSING ALL STEERING AND CONTROL; CONVERTIBLE TOP OPENING AND CLOSING; WINDOWS OPENING AND CLOSING BY THEMSELVES BUT NOT WHEN DESIRED; AND DASH GAUGES NOT WORKING, INDICATING RANDOMLY AND LITERALLY OFF THE CHART, OR SPECTRUM, IF YOU WILL. OTHER INTRINSIC ISSUES INCLUDE GAS TANK GAUGE GIVING FALSE "FULL" READ EVERY FEW SECONDS WHENEVER ATTEMPTING TO REFUEL, REQUIRING NEAR CONSTANT REPOSITIONING OF NOZZLE, AND RANDOM INTERIOR PARTS FALLING OFF WITHOUT EVEN MINIMAL USE AND WITHIN 3 YEARS OF OWNING VEHICLE. VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS ONLY 67,000 MILES ON IT. SINCE THIS IS MY 2ND MUSTANG WITH SAME PROBLEMS, I HAVE TO BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE, AND ALL FORDS WITH THESE ISSUES. DANGEROUS AND PROBLEMATIC, NOT ONLY BECAUSE YOU CANNOT CLOSE AND LOCK YOUR CAR, BUT BECAUSE ENGINE DYING IN MIDDLE OF ROAD HAS ALMOST CAUSED WHAT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON MORE THAN A FEW OCCASIONS, IN BOTH CARS. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE ENGINE STALLING OUT, WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH RUNNING THE AIR CONDITIONER. *TR
