Consumer Description

UPON DECELERATION, VEHICLE DROPS IDLE TO 400-500 RPM AND FLUCTUATES. SOMETIMES STALLS, CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING, AND BRAKES. VEHICLE WAS SERVICED, REPLACED IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE, REDUCING INTENSITY AND FREQUENCY OF PROBLEM, NOT CORRECTING IT. CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE THREE SEPERATE TIMES, TWICE THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. UPON CONSULTING WITH OTHER 2000 MUSTANG GT OWNERS, IT IS COMMON PROBLEM. SOME VEHICLES ARE STILL STALLING HEAVILY UPON DECELERATION. IF VEHICLE STALLS, POWER BRAKES AND STEERING ARE LOST WITHOUT WARNING, POSSIBLE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I AM ENCOURAGING OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM TO REPORT TO NHSTA. THIS PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO FORD CONSUMER RELATIONS TODAY, 5/10/01. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ON 99-2000 MUSTANG GT WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION.
