NHTSA Complaint #10985790 — 2005 FORD MUSTANG

I PURCHASED MY 2005 FORD MUSTANG V6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN JULY OF 2016. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE BUT ABOUT A MONTH LATER I NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE WAS SITTING AT E SO I ATTEMPTED TO FILL IT THINKING I HAD AN EMPTY TANK WHICH MEANT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT 14-16 GALLONS IN AND AS I WAS REFUELING I NOTICED IT KEPT SHUTTING OFF EVEN THOUGH I HAD JUST STARTED THE PUMP EVENTUALLY I GOT IT FILLED AND ONLY PUT IN ABOUT 6 GALLONS WHICH I THOUGHT WAS ODD BUT I WENT WITH IT AND GOT BACK IN MY CAR STARTED IT UP AND NOTICED THAT THE GAUGE WAS STILL SITTING AT E AT THAT POINT I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG BUT I FIGURED IT COULD WAIT SINCE I KNEW HOW FAR I COULD POTENTIALLY GO ON A FULL TANK BUT THEN AFTER I LEFT AND HEADED FOR HOME I NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS GOING 60 BUT EVERYONE WAS BLOWING PAST ME AT LEAST 10MPH FASTER WHEN THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 60. SO I PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THAT AT A STOP THE SPEEDOMETER CAME TO REST AT 35MPH I WAS ABLE TO FIX IT BUT IT KEPT HAPPENING I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH THAT I DIDNT GET PULLED OVER BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEA HOW FAST I WAS GOING. THEN FOR A WHILE THAT STOPPED HAPPENING BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN AND AT AN INCREASING RATE THE ENGINE KEEPS STALLING LIKE ITS NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL WHEN I STOP AT AN INTERSECTION OR STOP SIGN EVEN THOUGH I HAD JUST FILLED THE FUEL TANK THE DAY BEFORE AND HADN'T DRIVEN MORE THAN 50 MILES. THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENTS BEGINNINGS WAS ~24,000 MILES THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 34,000 AS OF 5/15/17.
