2001 FORD MUSTANG GT Electrical System Problems

ENGINE IDLES ABOUT 3000 RPM AT START UP UNTIL ENGINE IS SHUT OFF. *TR

WE HAD A DEEP SNOW STORM LAST MONTH AND I GOT MY 2001 MUSTANG GT CONVERTIBLE STUCK IN THE SNOW IN MY DRIVEWAY. EACH TIME I TRIED TO ROCK THE VEHICLE BACK AND FORTH TO FREE IT FROM THE DEEP SNOW, THE ENGINE WOULD POWER DOWN. I FINALLY REALIZED THAT THE "ELECTRONIC TRACTION CONTROL" WAS CAUSING THIS. I TURNED IT OFF AND WAS ABLE TO FREE THE VEHICLE. I THINK THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN THIS AND THE BRAKE PROBLEM I DESCRIBED BEFORE WHICH CAUSED ME TO HYDRO-PLANE AND SPIN OUT IN HEAVY RAIN. I WROTE TO YOU 12-24-03 WITH THAT COMPLAINT. *JB

AT SPEEDS OF 45 MPH OR LESS, WHEN DOWNSHIFTING AND BRAKING, THE ENGINE WILL STALL. POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, AND A/C STOP. CANNOT "POP THE CLUTCH" TO RESTART THE MOTOR. MUST TURN KEY TO OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I HAVE BEEN DOWNSHIFTING AND TURNING AND HAVE LOST POWER STEERING IN THE TURN AND COULD HARDLY TURN THE WHEEL WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL IN MOTION. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND SPORADICALLY, AND HAS DONE IT SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW.*AK

WIPERS NOT WORKING AT TIMES SINCE WE PURCHASED, AND FORD COMPANY SAID THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM TO FIX. STEREO AND IN-SIDE LIGHT REMAIN ON AFTER THE KEY IS REMOVED SINCE WE PURCHASED IN 2001. WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES AND THE AIR CONTINUER IS NOT WORKING SINCE 37,000.00 MILES (WARRANTY IS UP)!. *JB
