Read complaints for FORD MUSTANG (2000)

I was involved in a one car accident where i lost control and jumped a curb.my car was a 2000 v6 mustang coupe.the air bags deployed when the car made contact with the curb.but i was then airborn in the car for about 12 feet and by the time my car hit the ground my air bags had deflated, causing my passenger to hit her head on the dashboard. She had her seatbelt on, and be knocked unconscious.also... When the air bags deployed theycame out with such forcethat it knocked my hands off the steering wheel, causing me to not be able to steer the car .scared that if the tires weren't straight when we would touch down that we would flip.the same incident happened 2 days ago when my friend wrecked his 20'01 gt.he had lost control of the vehicle and clipped a telephone poll doing about 50mph.he then jumped a ditch... Went airborn... And wrapped his car around a tree. The airbags deployed,but had deflated by the time he had any real contact.the airbags deployed when he clipped the telephone poll... But when he needed it most it had already deflated... Causing him to hit his head on the steering wheel and then having his head go through the windshield.airbags do not need to deflate so quickly.i think this needs to be looked into.thank you!

On may 30, 2005, our daughter was exiting a parking lot in her 2000 ford mustang.due to the fact that the exits weren''t clearly marked, she drove over the sidewalk, resulting in approximately a four inch drop off.after waiting for traffic to clear, she accelerated to exit the parking lot and both of her airbags deployed.she was fortunate that a police officer witnessed this incident.after speaking with the officer, i was assured that speed was not a factor.i also reviewed photographs of the area to view to see the drop-off and came to the conclusion that it was the equivalent of a ''highway pot-hole'', which should not have caused the premature deployment of the airbags.

While cleaning my spark plugs, i noticed the number #3 spark plug had oil on the spark plug thread. When i put my finger into the number #3 cylinder hole oil showed on my finger. The number #3 plug was also fouled compared to the other new plugs. This could lead to engine damage or a fire in the engine area. I heard that ford had a service bulletin on this problem, but i called ford and they said there is no service bulletin on my car for this problem. I was told by many owners that ford had a valve cover buffle to pcv valveproblem on 1999 and 2000 mustang 3.8, but they will not do any thing to correct the problem. I was told my many owners that they mod. And removed the pcv valve and replaced it with filters to stop oil getting into the cylinders. This would make it illegal and would like to see the problem corrected properly. I was told that the 2001 valve covers and up corrected this problem.

1. The car was shut off and it would not start. I had to have the vehicle towed to the ford dealership where i was informed there wasa defect in the ignition.2. The car had to have the ignition switch and components replaced. 3. The cost of the repair was approximately $1,000.

Fire started in engine compartment.witnesses said it sounded like the car was trying to start itself.total loss.damage was worst on the passenger side of the engine compartment centered in the area in front of the wheel.security camera of incident shows smoke then fire starting at the front passenger side.

When applying brakesgear skipped and and brakes became loose. No braking power.also, consumer was having electrical problems which caused defectsin the alarm.

I bought the vehicle used on may 03, 2003 from ramey ford in tazewell, va and under the terms that they would check the clutch for vibration. Upon checking the clutch, i was advised that the clutch rod needed replaced and this was completed. After getting the vehicle back the first time, i have gone through an ongoing problem with the clutch making a vibration/rattle type noise that comes and goes even after the pressure plate, throw-out bearing, and fly-wheel were replaced. Also, for 3 1/2 to 4 months the service engine soon light would come on periodically and start blinking and then go off, this has finally stopped after 3 attempts at fixing the problem, after the pcm was reprogrammed and a coil pack was changed. For a car that looks brand new inside and out, these constant problems have been very troublesome and aggravating especially after 6 repair attempts (going on 7).

I have a 2000 ford 3.8 liter mustang. It has a vibration and covert ford says its needs new motor. I bought this car new, took great care of motor, it just turned 70,000 miles.covert says it has excessive end play on the crankshaft due to wear. I think i have an american-made problem.70,000 miles???? thanks for any help that you can give me.they want$4,600.00. I think ford owes me most of thatat the very least because i sure can't afford to fix it.you know its funny also because up to this point that car had never broken down and had never been in the shop .this is other than 15 oil changestwo batteries and two sets of tires... I just think its not normal. Please help with suggestion.

Alternatator melted battery wires, andvehicle caught on fire.

This is wrong of ford not to correct this problem. No safety defect mentioned in summary.

I have a 2000 ford mustang v6, and i have an ongoing problem that the dealer (magic ford, in valencia ca its been in the dealer four times) cant fix and cant find out whats wrong with the car. Whenever i drove the car and it gets hot and when i shut off the engine and try restarting the car, and the car would not start, i have to wait until the engine cool off, then the car would start, it happened to me when i stopped at the grocery store, and try starting the car and it would not start, same thing when i stopped at the gasoline station, i have to wait until it gets cool off before the would start again. Here are the history of the ongoing problem, the first time i took the car to the dealer when it was still under the warranty, the dealer told me that they dont know the problem because the computer would not give out any code, so they cant fix the car, but they know that the car would not start. Second time i brought the car to the dealer, they found out that it was the key, and the ignition, so they have to reprogram the key to send signal to the ignition, (i have to pay because it was out of the warranty, when they could have fixed the problem in the first time.) third time i took the car to the dealer they said the fuel pump was loose and the battery cable was loose (i dont think so) a week later, fourth time i took the car back, still doesnt know whats wrong with the car, its been in the dealer for 3 days now. I dont know what im going to do with this car. Please advice.

I purchased this vehicle 10/7/99 and have been taking it in for service since 10/12/99 the dealership has not fixed any of the problems w/the car, in fact my car keeps getting worse. The roof its self leaks and while removing the headliner the dealership caused dents and creases in my roof. They still haven't repaired the dents or the leak. Also, the computer has been going out since day 1 causing a fire smell which the dealership said was the sparks hitting the catalitic converter and causing problems w/the transmission. The car spark knocks constantly, dies while driving, smells like its on fire and has a hard time shifting into gear. The dealership wants to "try to fix it " as they have tried for almost 2 years but any repairs they make will not be warrantied. That is unacceptable! i have contacted a local tv station, written a letter to ford, talked to the dealership owner, called ford customer service and filled out a ford survey. After all of that, no one has been in contact with me.

While traveling and without any indication vehicle came to a complete stop. Vehicle was services.tech stated distributor needed to be replaced. The electrical brain/computer failed and the vehicle stopped abruptly.

Consumer states that after getting out of the vehicle and closing the passenger side door there was a fire that started in the door panel melting wires and other parts. Contacted dealer and the dealer noted that there was some shortage in the wiring.

Electrical short in wire harness caused fire. 2000 ford mustang only has 61,000 miles on it.*la

Smoke was noticed coming from steering columnwhile driving. Dealer has been contacted.

Car caught fire about 3 hours after driving it for 30 min.-car is "totaled"

This is the second saleen that we know of that the identical problem occurred, car # 0208 and mine # 0594, both due to the electrical wiring harness.i've contacted saleen, downs ford and an attorney for help.saleen told me they don't know of this ever happening before me, i have documents, name and telephone number of other party.

Driving down the road at about 45 miles pr hr. The car started banging. I slowed down the noise wasn't as loud. I pulled the car off the road, cut the car off, it wouldn't crank back. The mechanic said they didn't understand since the motor was clean inside and out. I didn't have any service light come on. I have had to replace the motor.

Is a big problem shifting in a gear after in first gear starts to sputter and shake believe it's the transmission manual 5-speed also engine overheating and knocking sounds vibrations coming from engine compartment brakes have always been shaky even if applied slowly and softly

While drivingat an undetermined speed engine check light appeared. Consumer contacted dealership on four separate occasions, butproblem recurred.

So i thought i had a simple thermostat issue.went to change the thermostat and noticed the manifold housing (plastic) had a nice crack in it.when doing research on this, i noticed there have been numerous complaints/instances of this happening to other people.now i am in the process of finding a new intake manifold and will have to pay to have it installed.this seems to be an issue that the department of transportation should be involved in.poor manufacture design with numerous incidents of failure that result in unnecessary high repair costs placed on the consumer.i am the original owner of this vehicle and think it is ridiculous!

Consumer states she has had to take vehicle in for several repairs, she experienced a burning smell and smoke coming from the engine, which resulted in oil getting on the engine due to dealer leaving the oil cap off, also water pump had to replaced, as well as the rocker arm gasket.

The problem is the engine stalls. This happens when the engine is warm or cold. It also happens after the clutch has been disengaged after being at speed and the rpms are decreasing to the programmed idle rpm. However, instead of stopping at the idling rpm, the engine rpm dips to low and the engine stalls. I lose power steering and brakes which cause a very dangerous situation. I also noticed that this happens more often if i am going around a turn or turning on the ac (both items require more power from the engine)while disengaging the clutch. In total, this has happened 5 times during the 30500 miles.****dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis****761876

Consumerwas traveling about 45mph on the highway, applied clutch andpower went out.no power steering/no brakes.no prior warning. Vehicle just stopped. Vehicle was at the dealership .mechanic could not duplicate the problemon the diagnostic machine.

Consumer stated while traveling, the engine stalled. Vehicle is now in its fifth repair. Dealer has been contacted.please provided any further information. *ph

Consumer states there was a loud cranking noise under the vehicle, dealer replaced the motor mounts.

Valve cover failed, due to carbon build up in the intake manifold.

Apparent head gasket leak - loosing coolant through exhaust on 2000 mustang with 3.8 liter engine. This is a know issue with mid 90's 3.8 ford engines and still seems to be an issue.

Car since new has had a multitude of failures to include the total failure of the parking brake, total evacuation of the master brake cylinder of fluid, brake go to the floor, clutch assembly vibrates to the point it is audable in the car and can be felt in the controls, rear end claunks, the body is miss alligned, engine misses at idle, these are all problems since new, ford has just looked at the car for the fifth time and has failed to respond to major safety items.

Car died out while driving at 45mph, almost went off the road because power brakes went out. This is happening to a lot of 1999-2001 mustang gts and ford seems to not know how to fix it.

Fuel consumption is not what it should be, vehicle is a 6cyl, 3.8 ltr engine, 15gl tank, consumer gets 200-210 miles per tank, not 320-340 as owner's manual states. Vehicle has been to dealer 4 times for this, cannot remedy. Twice vehicle was picked up by consumer and vehicle had been dented while at dealer.

Engine failed after owning car for only 2 weeks. Car died in the middle of an intersection. Tow truck picked it up, and dealership said that the engine harness was not properly wired. Air conditioning made loud noises when running. Dealership said that the water was dropping directly on to the 1500 degree exhaust pipe causing the loud noise. Because the heat shield wasn't properly functioning, dealership placed a pipe underneath to divert the water.

Engine stalls when full braking applied at highway speeds, causing sudden loss of power assisted steering and braking.2 seperate instances. Dealer checked and found nothing noteable, made minor adjustment to throttle settings.1 week later, second instance occurred, motor dying 3 times.driver forced to place manual transmission in neutral, depress clutch, and restart motor, which restarted each time, but forced driver to attempt to start car, control car, and stop car simultaniously.

This is the 2nd air pump to be replaced onvehicle.engine check light illuminated, indicating a loss of performance.engine was sluggish and idling high at stops.ford was contacted. Please provide more information.

Upon rapid deceleration, engine stalls.when this occurs, all power assist features (brakes, steering) are lost.this has happened several times and has been dismissed as "not able to recreate" by the dealership.

Car kills out frequently when turning; when the car stalls out, the wheels lock up and nearly cause accidents.the stalling began immediately after we pruchased the vehicle.when i took it into the dealer, they stated there had been numerous complaints of the mustang gt's killing out around corners.they have no fix at this point and have made no concern for my safety.i've nearly gotten into a hand full of accidents because of this "defect".i'm riding around in a brand new car that i consider very unsafe.you never know when it will stall out and lock up.the dealer initially stated they believed the stalls were caused by the hot weather.well, it's now december in denver, co and it's quite cold out and the car is still killing out around corners.within the last 3 months, the problem is occuring even more frequently.the problem seems to be getting worse at time progresses.ford has not offered me a replacement vehicle until they can figure out the problem.this is my only vehicle to and from work and i put my life in jeopardy everytime i drive it.my warranty expires at 36, 000 miles and i will be left to deal with this problem that i've had since day one of my purchase.

Vehicle was leaking oil from underneath the hood. Also, consumer was traveling about 65mph andlooked though rearview mirrior and noticed black smoke coming from theexhaust pipe.

Engine stalled.entire power would go down. Vehicle will begin to stall without prior warning at any speed. Vehicle has been taken to the dealer on nine different occasions, but omputer did not shown any signs.dealer has not provided any type of remedy.

Took my 2000 mustang to the dealer to repair a knocking problemi was hearing when the car accelerated. Eventually after 3 visits and talking to 3 service advisors the knocking was heard. They replaced $1300 worth of parts, and said it was fixed. Drove it no more than 10 minutes and took it right back because the knocking was not fixed. They then told me that the motor was something inside the motor. So i had it replaced. Was returned 1 week later due to a problem with it staying running. The problem was identified as a rocker arm that had come loose. The car was returned 2 weeks later for the same knocking issue that was originally reported and no one knew what is wrong with it.

Vehicle will intermittently stall when i am attempting to come to a stop.when this happens i lose my power brakes and this has caused me to have to swerve to avoid hitting the car in front of me.this has happened at least 6 times.dealer replaced fuel pump the first time.the second time the idle air control valve. And third the same iac valve.it will still stall.i believe this to be a serious safety issue and am filing the lemon law.

When clutch disengages rpms drop too low and vehicle stalls. Loses all power steering and brakes. Dealer can not identifycause.consumer adds engine stalls easier if a/c is on, and/or whenbrakes are applied.dealer replaced powertrain control module and mass air flow, but problem still exist. Also consumer is a hearing metallic ticking noise on cold engine.air bladder deflates after 1/2 hour.dealer replaced seat air bladder.drivers side front and back window will not seal after rolling up at times.

The engine stalls while driving, in traffic, on the freeway, where/whenever.it just cuts out, whether the engine is warm or cold.we have had it to 5 different dealerships to fix the problem and they say there is nothing wrong or they don't know what's wrong.

I noticed an exhaust leak from the passengers side exhaust manifold. Turns out the weld that hold the exhaust manifold to the rest of the exhaust has failed, it is now being held up by exhaust hangers and metal strapping, until it will be repaired.

Engine check light came on so i took the car to a local dealer.he informed me that the eec test code was p0411 which deals with emissions.when the dealer removed a hose to inspect the component, water came out of the hose.the dealer informed me that the entire air pump was full of water and had "burned" out as a result.i will have to have the pump and relay replaced at a cost of $275 for parts and $120 for labor.he further informed me that this was extremely rare and he did not know how the water could have gotten in to the pump.i called ford customer care and informed them of the problem and they informed me that they had no other complaints of this nature, but would file the information away for future reference.according to the dealer, this "problem" does not affect driveability of the car, and since virginia doesn't require emissions control testing, there is no requirement to have it replaced, however, the "check engine soon" light will remain on until the air pump and relay are replaced.

Consumer cannot fill up gas tank completely.vehicle checked by dealer 4 times, and problem still exists.dealer has replaced fuel filler pipe, tube assembly, fuel vapor control valve solenoid and fuel vapor storage canister assembly.

Owner was complaining that the engine light keeps coming on. Owner took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that they were not responsible. Owner took the vehicle to another dealer and was told that the catalytic converter had been removed causingthe vehicle to shut down due to excessive heat. Provide further details.

Ford designed the a/c drain line located above the right exhaust pipe leading to the catalytic converter on the 3.8 liter v6 engine. The cold condensation from the a/c dripping onto the pipe causes the pipe to crack or in some cases causes the catalytic converter to rupture or crack. This is an expensive repair. I know of 3 people in my business that this has happened to in just the past 6 months. One case the converter had to be replaced and in the other 2the exhaust pipe had to be removed and welded at the cracks. Stainless steel pipes are welded different then the old steel pipes and require a special welding technique and equipment driving up the cost of the repair. This crack left unattended could lead to carbon monoxide entering the cockpit area.

Converter glowing orange and making noises equivalent to hammer hitting metal. Heat can be felt coming through driver's side floor board to the point that it feels as though heater is on high. Was told this is normal, converters run up to 1800 degrees, and should only be concerned if it hits 2000 degrees. How am i supposed to know what temperature it's running?

While driving fumes would come inside throughpassenger's compartment. This would causedriver to get headachs & nausea.fumeswere carbon monoxide. Have taken to dealership 3 times,each timemechanic could not solveproblem.the dealer could not fix the problem but the fume created considerable health problems to the consumer.

When i come to complete stops, (e.g. @ a red light) the tachometer slowly rises to 3,000 - 3,500 rpm's and the engine compartment shakes and roars as if i am accelerating.this has occurred at least 35 times since the original occurrence on 12/19/1999.i have not driven the vehicle since 02/29/1999.the car has been to two ford dealerships six time to fix the problem.the following items have been replaced: air bypass valve, iac (3 times - they claimed each one, including the original was faulty), on board computer.yet the problem still persists.ford has finally agreed to reacquire my vehicle.i have spoken to other 2000 mustang gt owners (all with vehicles built in 09/1999) they also have idle issues.the two i have spoken with have a reverse problem.theirs idle so low, the vehicle stalls.i think ford should look into the gt's that were built early in the model year.i have not heard of anything with the gt's built later in the year.

Egr valve failed.

A/c condensation drain tube drips on exhaust manifold causing the exhaust to brake. Its an on-going problem that should be corrected. The only remedy is to weld the tube back together. From many shops i've spoken to this is a problem they see and know a lot about.

While driving 55 mph the intake manifold split without warning. As a result all the coolant and water leaked from the engine. The cause had not been determined. Please provide additional information.

The vehicle muffler failed and caused an accident.the front and rear end of the vehicle was damaged and the hood flew open and shattered the windshield. *nlm

2000 ford mustang. Consumer request information concerning factory tire jacks that proved danger to consumers *tgwthe consumer stated the tire jack broke while in the process of raising the vehicle.

Consumer states the pony emblem had to be replaced on vehicle.

The contact owns a 2000 ford mustang. The contact stated that the headlights were dimmed and made it difficult to see while driving in low light conditions. The contact stated that the side amber reflector lights were missing from the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated that the headlights failed to meet the fmvss requirements. The dealer was not called. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

Back up lights are not operable.whenconsumer is backing uplights are not working.also,parking brakes do not hold.dealership was aware of problem.

Failure just happened. Failure of the "multi-function switch" on our 2000 mustang caused the failure of the turn signals, brake lights, wipers, and speed control. Had problem looked at by several mechanics. They replaced fuses, which remedied the situation for 24 hours. Then the fuses would blow, and the systems would fail. Chevrolet dealer discovered that leaving the hazard switch in the "on" position would allow these systems to function normally, but disabled the hazard warning lights. Upon calling the local ford dealer and speaking with the service manager, i described the problem, and he said it was the "multi-function switch", and that they had replaced "a few". I have not had the repair done yet, but intend to in the very near future. Meanwhile, my daughter drives the car with the hazard switch in the "on" position in order to have brake lights, turn signals, wipers, and her speed control operable. I feel this is a serious safety issue!

Headlight plastic lenses have become very clouded and it would appear that the headlights emit less light and in a much more defused manner, so that the headlights are not as effective.it would appear that 4 years in the sun in texas has probably caused quite a few ford products with these plastic headlight lenses (covers) to be in this condition.

Headlight lens is plastic and it has discolored to the point that the headlights will not pass safety inspection. The inspector said this is a common failure on plastic versesglass sealed beam headlamps.

Consumer was driving & headlights went completely out & didn't come back on. When picked up fromdealerit happened again. Dealer replaced the multiple function switch, wiring & the headlamps. So far it hasn't happened again.

1)head light covers become increasingly opaque 2)unable to see well while night driving because head lights do not illuminate well3)need to replace light covers.

Consumer indicated that both plasticheadlights had glazed over, almost opaque.it resulted inextremely reduced headlight visibility during thenight,obstructing consumer's view while driving the vehicle.the consumer stated that the plastic on both headlights was so bad that it was impossible to see when the sun started to set. *tc

The head lamp melted during normal use.mr...

Both left and right headlamp plastic lens have deteriorated andwerea safety hazard since it greatly reducedthe amount of light emitted during evening hours. This wasa known problem with this automobile.however, nothing has been done regarding a formal recall. Other known problems like: nhtsa recall campaigns 06e049000 and 06e064000 were addressing only bulb problems. I had an accident where the passenger'sside had to be replaced . You could readily see the difference between the old driver's side and the new, clear passenger side light protector and the light they allow on the road ahead.

Ford mustang 2000, front head light covers began to show small cracks similar to spider web. Within a 2 month period entire cover had cracks all over it, to the point where it appears that the lights are covered in something white.i do not feel comfortable driving at night because light is so dim.i have talked to other people whom have had same problem with ford cars.this is crazy and dangerous.i contact ford no recalls on this car and they did not seem to care about the problem.

Lens covers for headlights are foggy and pitted so bad the bulb isn't even visible making nighttime driving difficult. We work with several police officers who have expressed concern as their ford police cars are having the same problem with limited visibility during night patrol duty, often choosing not engaging in criminal chases over public safety concerns. The expense to replace these covers averages over $200 per lens cover and is not covered by insurance.

When filling up with fuel, gas leaks out of the filler tube leaving a huge puddle of gasoline on the ground. This is extremely dangerous and could cause a fire. When looked at, the filler tube is rusted out. Ford should issue a recall on this, because it is so dangerous.

Every time i put fuel in the car, it starts leaking out. It leaves quite a big puddle of gas on the ground. When i stop putting gas in, the leak stops. I don't believe i am losing any at the gas tank, just when filling up.

The consumer stated that the fuel pump failed three times and the fuel pump control module failed one time also, fuel pump gasket failed one time andreplaced.

I have written to ford concerning a fuel leak on my 2000 mustang. I was advised to take it to my dealer to diagnose the problem. The service technician informed me that the fuel filler neck was rusted out and had a hole in it due to the placement of a shield on the tube. The shield held in dirt and water which allowed it to rust. It will cost approximately $431.35 to repair. This problem was caused by a design flaw by ford. It is extremely dangerous. I cannot put gas in my car when my children are in it for fear that it will catch on fire. The gas just pours out onto the pavement. Ford needs to issue a recall on this immediately. I should not have to pay for ford?s mistake. I have a copy of the invoice as well as the repair quote from ramey ford in johnson city,tn. I will fax it to you if you wish. Ford has sent me an email stating that not all complaints get investigated. This is a serious safety issue. These cars could possibly catch on fire and explode if this problem is not addressed. All mustang owners whose cars have had this shield placed on the fuel filler tube need to be aware of this safety hazard before someone gets seriously injured or killed. This issue needs to be investigated and fixed immediately. I don't know if any other mustang owners have reported this to the nhtsa but i have seen postings from mustang owners on several internet forums complaining about this same issue. Please let me know if there is any more information that you need.

Fuel system failed.nlm

I noticed a fuel leak when i filled up my tank.it was quite bad! and was a definite safety risk!i checked under car and found the fuel neck has a plastic cover to protect from road hazards??that plastic cover allows dirt and moisture to collect around the fuel neck.the neck inside was rusted completely through.there is essentially a 2 inch hole in the fuel neck!i had to replace the entire fuel neck to fix the problem.i checked online and apparently this is very common with 1999 - 2004 mustangs.it's also very dangerous since gas comes pouring out of the bottom of the car.

Valve cover failed, due to carbon build up in the intake manifold.

Engine died as approaching stop sign while clutch pedal was depressed.has occurred 5-6 times, usually when traveling up an incline.

Master cylinder problems.was replaced/repaired by dealership and returned.brake still makes funny noise and is still "mushy" when applied.fuel injection has be repaired 4 going on 5 times now.engine makes a pinging/diesel sound when driven at constant rate of speed.sometimes at 30 mph, sometimes at highway speeds.sensors have been replaced, injectors have been replaced and still not fixed.at idle/stop car jumps forward without accelorator applied.

My mustang developed a fuel leak as the result of the fuel tankfiller necks grommet failing.i initially smelled gas and after filling up the tank and parking on a hill i notice a large spot of gasoline on the pavement below.

Was at gas station & filled vehicle with fuel. Engine checklight came on & stayed. Took vehicle to dealer & was informed by mechanic the cap not on tight & vehicle needed to be recomputerized. The problem withengine check light has reappeared. The vehicle also giving a code of loss of fuel.

On 8/27/2001 i took our car to our ford dealer due to it feeling lit it was running out of gas even thought it had gas.they could not find anything wrong.on 09/02/2001 while driving to california we had the same problem.due to it being a holiday weekend it could not be looked at until 09/04/2001.future ford of roseville calif. Had to replace the fuel tank sender, cluster asy. Sndr & pump asy. And filter asy.on our way home from a trip to ca. On 05/30/02 we had the same problem again, this time while on hwy 50 in utah.the car bucked and acted like it was out of gas.it stalled resulting in no power for steering or braking.while trying to steer the car to the side of the road on a curve, it went across the road in front of oncoming cars, almost resulting in a accident.***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****762652

When filling gas the gas pours out of the fill pipe befor it has shut off the pump.this has happened at most pumps that i have visited.there is no way to tell your are near the top of the tank.the gas just spills out for a few seconds.could cause fires, enviromental damage and damage to paint on cars.

Whenever i try and fuel the car the nozzle cuts off. This means i have to fill cans and then transfer fuel to the tank with a funnel.

Fuel filler neck leaks.this occurs directly over the hot exhaust pipe of the vehicle. The gasoline drips directly on the exhaust pipe under the bend. And next to the gas tank.this is a very dangerous situation as i had a long way to go home and didn't have any water to wash the hot pipes of fuel. The gas continued to drip on the pipe most of the way home. My kids could have been in the back seat if the car caught fire.i have read that this is a common problem on 2000 mustangs. This should be a recalled problem.

The contact owns a 2000 ford mustang. The contact stated that while driving, there was an odor of fuel present inside vehicle and fuel was discovered to be leaking under the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the fuel filler line had corroded. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 97,000. Updated 04/06/16*lj; updated 05/02/18

My gas tank began leaking fuel before i drove it in the first part of 2011. Not only was the grommet corroded but the filler pipe was leaking. I was unaware of the leak in the pipe because of the plastic tube around it and was led to believe it was either just the grommet or the tank itself. I got the grommet replaced and then through process of elimination found that the pipe needs replacing as well.the replacement process was so easy because so many people have had the same issue with mustangs from '99-'04. This is a dangerous defect because the gas leak can cause gas vapors to get trapped underneath the car and ignite easily. Gas vapors are light but still heavy enough to where they will not disperse completely from underneath the car. Gas also evaporates very quickly so this could happen in the short amount of time it takes to fuel your car. Every ford/mustang forum i have read indicates that mustangs tend to wear out these two parts too quickly. They should be recalled and substituted with a better part (both the gas tank grommet and filler pipe).

I went to fill up my gas tank and after 12 gallons smelled gas everywhere and noticed gas racing out from under my car. There had to be atleast half a gallon surrounding my shoes and if there had been a spark i would have been burned to death. After researching this problem on the internet i found out that hundreds of other people that own mustangs between the years of 1999 and 2004 have all had the same problem with what ford calls a defective gas nozzle grommet. Not something the 1999-2004 mustang is a stranger too. I remember the 1974 pinto and i owned one i really am uncomfortable with the thought that my mustang is even more prone to explosions then my old pinto. Please pay attention to this matter before itbecomes the next 1974 pinto. Ps: yes i did have a "member of the annual pinto tailgate bbq party" bumper sticker on my pintoi would rather not have to get one of those stickers for my 2000 mustang convertible.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I went to fill up my car (gas) and i smelled more gas than what i would consider normal.i looked on the ground under the car and there was a pool of gas, and it was leaking as i was filling.i stopped filling the tank and asked the attendant for something to clean up the gas.when i got the car home, i looked underneath and upon close inspection found the filler neck was where the problem was.there is a piece of plastic surrounding the filler neck, which holds moisture and rusts the metal filler neck.this is the same problem i had with another car i owned!!!same year.i asked several people i know who own mustangs, and each and every one of them had to have the same part replaced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!if you search online, there are tons of articles and complaints about mustangs from 99-2004 with the same problem.!this is so dangerous, how come this hasn't been recalled?

I have purchased a used 2000 ford mustang and to make a long story short the transmission will not go into gear unless i rev the rpms up very high and i am interested in keeping this vehicle so i looked on line and found this is a very common problem with this car, i have went from site to site, i don't mind paying for the repair if need be, but this is dangerous, i don't want to injury myself or anyone else. I have found there is a problem with the design and needs to be corrected. I would like to know what is the solution and cause of this problem. I want to thank you so much for your time.

Tl- the contact owns a 2000 ford mustang. The contact detected a substantial amount of transmission fluid leaking from the vehicle. The failure recurred when the vehicle was being driven or stationary. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who expressed concerns to the contact of a potential fire as a result of the failure and advised that the transmission would possibly need replacing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 194,000. Kmj

Transmission is making a ticking noise at initial take off.

Cpnsumerwas traveling about 55mph on highway andapplied brakes because he was coming to a stand still. Vehicle was in third gear, and the rpms started going down. Consumer shifted gear into neutral, andvehicle cut off without prior warning. Dealershipwas aware ofproblem.

Whenvehicle is put into gear, from park to drive/reverse,and when vehicle comes to a stop, it will accelerate suddenly for a moment, then stop. This happens mostly during cold weather conditions, and will happenfrom 25 to 50 percent of the time. Dealership could not determine any defect.a second dealership replacedtorque converter, and verified that there was a problem.itwas a possible software defect - no upgrade available to repair defect.please provide any additional information/attachments.

Consumer stated that while driving at any speed during warm weather and no warning the vehicle will stall and it will be hard for the consumer to control the vehicle. Dealer notified. Ts

Have had numerous problems with the power train and they replaced the transmission and is still doing the same thing...will not replace the vehicle and says that it does not fall under the lemon law even though they have tried to fix the problem and have failed three seperate times....all i want is another car without the problems.

Car was stuck in reverse on two separate occassions.was able to work it out first time but had to have it towed to dealer second time.dealer states they can not get a new transmission for vehicle since it has been modified and no 2000 transmissions are available.ford field rep visisted dealership and has told them to put a "patch" on the shift assembly and "see if that will work".when i questioned ford field rep who the next person in chain of command to speak with about problem, he indicated there was no one above him; that he resolves all problems.dealership has bent over backward to try to help me; problem seems to be with ford corp. Ford's customer care service dept. Has not responded to my e-mail.

As i was driving and reached 30 mph it sounded like the transmission would not shifting to the next gear. It made a screeching noise and would not pass 30 mph mean while the rpm was to 8. Then it jumped and passed 30 mph. This happened every time it reached 30 mph. The automatic transmission was slow to shift. This 2000 mustang only has 40,000 miles!!- and i was told by ford that the transmission was damaged--on top of that the warranty does not cover the $1,600 cost. I've heard a lot of the samecomplaint about ford mustang 's transmission. For a 3 year old mustang we should not have to pay for a defected transmission !!!!even thought the warrantyhas expired -- ford should help cover the cost. *la

Substantially loud swirling, hissing, grinding, whinning noises from the transmission, clutch, and driveline (drive shaft) area.four (4) times with same problem.vehicle with dealer as of may 24, 2000 till present.

Nhtsa item # 620988 - i have had this problem in my original new transmission and also in a ford rebuilt transmission installed by reliable motors on 12/03/02.

I bought a 2000 ford mustang and three days later i noticed the shift indicator position marker on the floor was not showing what gear the car was in. This could cause an accident during day and most likely during night driving and could also cause tranmission problems not being able to see the gear shift position. I took it to the ford dealer and they installed a new bezel asy-transmission and it works fine now, but a car that's only four years should not happen and i have never had a car that the shift indicator marker has broken.

While consumer'swife was driving on freeway at 65 mphrear axle broke and back left tire broke off.vehicle taken to dealer for repairs, ford denied warranty.*ml

While driving at 35 and 40 mph consumer heard a noise,rear axle broke.

There is alot of hissing, grinding and whinning noises coming form the transmission (2 have been replaced), clutch assembly and driveline (driveshaft) area, dealer has attempted repair 4 times but has been unsuccessful.nlm

Consumer states there was a burning smell in vehicle, dealer replaced the soft clutch.

The car has died while engaging the clutch over five times. When we took it to ford dealer they said they could not find a problem or that they could not recreate it. When the car dies you lose all power steering brakes etc, which in the right situation could be and is very dangerous. Now the car is off warranty so this is on;y route i knew to go. Something is wrong, other people have complained of same problem so it needs to be corrected.

Vehicle was bought back under the lemon law guidelines. No safety defect stated.

This is wrong of ford not to correct this problem. No safety defect mentioned in summary.

Vehicle has 24000 miles on it. At approx. 12000 miles the clutch lost travel distance, and could not be adjusted using the manual adjustment procedure. Clutch froze one morning after a very cold sub-zero night. Upon starting vehicle with clutch partially engaged, clutch burned. Then fell out of 4th gear while traveling at 40 mph. Dealer claims it is a wear item and bad driving resulted in pressure plates being unusually worn, a problem with the linkage was also noted but not assessed as contributing to the worn plates. Customer contends the linkage failed and caused continuous rubbing of pressure plates inside transmission ultimately leading to failure, and should be addressed by manufacturer. Premature wear of the plates is most likely linked to the failure in the linkage and the failure of the self adjusting clutch to in effect, self adjust when the pedal is pulled up and pushed down as recommended in the manual. Suspect this may also be a problem with the parts original to vehicle.ts

At certain rpms and without warning clutch and pedal rattle continuously. Mechanic has been notified; however, mechanic stated therewas nothing wrong with vehicle.

From purchase, had problem with noises eminnating, we thought, from the transmission.also, under certain circumstances, usually after downshifting from 5th to 4th and then accelerating, will jump out of 4th gear.but, biggest concern has been a terrific vibration from beneath the car and in the console which, on one occasion, displaced the plastic cover on the instrument panel.took vehicle to various ford dealers in carson city and reno, nevada and stateline, ca.although noise obvious, dealers unable to duplicate problem.several months ago, the noise became very loud, at which time a dealer replaced parts, unknown, in the differential. We continued to have the same problems and more recently, the ford dealership in carson city found a "technical" which covered a clutch problem.the mustang is in the dealership now (since monday) at which time clutch parts are to be replaced and the transmission is also to be checked for problems.perhaps our concerns will be addressed, but we have been complaining for approximately 25,000 miles.our concern has been for a "locked up" transmission and the possibility of an accident.no accident has occurred at this point.

Rear differential produces a whinning noise at speeds of between 55-60 mph. Five other new 2000 mustangs were driven and all produced the same whinning noise.

I have a little problem. There is a clunking noise coming from the drivetrain. It only happens at the begining of acceleration, if i let offthe gas and then reapply it; it clunks again. I thought that it might be excessive backlash in the rear, but they checked that and said it was up to spec. They (bob thomas ford of hamden ct) said that it was the rear crossmember to the transmission they tightened this up. This helped it a little but not completely. I'm thinking of going to another dealer .

There is a whining noise coming from back i took it to the dealer bunch of times and they said it was fine but it whines at speeds of 55/65.dt

Was driving the vehicle approx. 65mph when the driver heard a loud banging noise under the front wheel. Driver still had control. Had vehicle towed to dealer. Mechanic checked vehicle & noticeddriveshaft was cracked & needed replacing. Was also informed that no parts were available for the driveshaft & would have to be ordered.

Vehichle has had a vibration since it was new.the dealer assured me that it could be repaired.i have had the vehicle back twice. The vibration is in 3rd gear and 5th gear.the vibration in 3rd gear is from 2,000-3,000 rpms.in 5th gear, it is from 1,200-2,100 rmps.the drive shaft has been replaced.wheels and tires checked okay.tires and wheels balanced okay.the driveshaft runout checked.driveshaft rotate and recheck runout.checked and replaced rear axle.shaft assembly rear axle replaced.the vibration still persists.i'm considering a buy-back.i don't know what my options are.could you advise?

My car is less than 2 years old and i was told that because it has more than 36,000 miles on it. They will not warranty it. I think there must be a problem with this transmission. They are designed to last longer than 2 years. Has anyone else reported this problem?

My car stuck in reverse and i couldn't get the car out of gear.i had to drive the vehicle around the block backwards to get it in the garage.then called a tow truck and took it to ford.luckily this happend in my neighborhood and not on a busy street.i or my passengers might have been injured by traffic.we would not be able to get out of the way.ford says they knew that there might be a problem but did not disclose this potentially dangerous problem to me at the time of sale only 19 days ago.they are putting a new transmission even as we speak.

I have a 2000 ford mustang, which has major seatbelt malfunction problems.i found the recall on your website and several auto websites nhtsa campaign id number:99v250000.this recall is for 2000 ford mustangs, and the exact problem that we have been having with our seatbelts.but the dealer was suppose to replace the seatbelts, after verifying that they were malfunctioning, and now they will not.

I have been having a problem with my safety belt harness for several months now.i feel this is a safety hazard.when i start to latch my seat belt on the drivers side it will twist and i have to get out of the car and help it retracked.sometimes it won't retrack properly and i have to wear it as is.when the belt isn'tlike it should be and if i apply my brakes to suddenly stop it won't catch like a seat belt is supposed to.i made an appointment on 12/18/2001 to have this problem fix and the dealership said it was checked and was found to be in normal operation.my car did not do this until a couple of months ago.i know this is not normal and i feel it is a major safety hazzard.i am a faithful seatbelt wearer and i feel very uncomfortable wearing this one.i understand that your company doesn't get in the affairs of the customer and the dealer; however this isn't the first time my car hasn't been worked on due to them not finding anything.i strongly feel that this isn't the way all ford vehicles are structured.if that were true i would have had trouble with it a year ago not one year and 6 months later.i do not wish to cause problems for the dealership i am concerned with my safety when i drive.the passenager side seat belt is fine.thank you for your time in reviewing my case.audrey caldwell.

On 6/22/2000, i purchased a new ford mustang gt from galpin motors (la, ca).approximately six weeks later, i took the car in for an oil change at another ford dealership.while at this dealership, they showed me the undercarriage of the car.it was corroding at a progressive rate. The car was manufactured in december 1999. I immediately drove to galpin motors and was advised that they would not roll back or buy back the car.their position is that the corrosion can be cleaned up by the use of steel wool.i am concerned that parts on the undercarriage of the car may cause a safety hazard as time continues.the dealership viewed the car and stated that it was simply surface rust.my contention is that the car should not be in this state 7 months after the date of manufacture. Obviously, i was not aware of this problem, and i would have never purchased this car if this problem had been disclosed to me.as a result of an arbitration process, the dealership has to replace the entire stainless steel exhaust system and undercoat the bottom of this vehicle.unfortunately, iwas told by the service manager that only eighty percent of the rust can be cleaned up.the car is currently at the dealership for repair.thank you for your attention in this matter.

Over the past year my 2000 ford mustang has accelerated by itself without my foot on the gas peddle..and its a 5 speed ...(stick shift) thank goodness i have been able to throw it into neuteral and then i have to slam the gas peddle down to the floor to get it to unstick ..both times have been on a busy highway during rush hour traffic...when i asked ford to look at it ..they told me they couldnt find anything wrong with it .. I had taken it in to have the catalitic converter fixed..and they said that might have been the problem but in talking it over with my brother (who is a car mechanic)he didnt think that the catalitic conv. Would have nothing to do with the accelerator sticking like that !.. It hasnt happened in a while but its very nerve wracking when it does/not sure if this has happened to any other mustangs out there..

While driving 25mph gas pedal broke. Pedal gets looseand breaks. Contacted dealer.

At times, my engine revs very high.i can actually continue to accelerate without depressing the gas pedal.when coming to a stop, the engine will rev up to nearly 4000 rpm with the clutch pedal pressed, and my other foot braking.once i stop the car, the rpms then decrease but still stay on the high side (1500 rpms).also, when going throughout the shift sequence (1st to 2nd to 3rd etc... Each time i press the clutch, the rpms shoot up).i am an engineer, business owner, and somewhat intelligent man.there are no obstructions to the accelerator cable that i can see, and no, my foot is not on the gas pedal.this is a real problem.it makes driving... Interesting to say the least, and in the hands of someone less capable, this would cause a severe risk.

When letting up onacceleratorcan hear knocking noise.dealer notified.

Complaint on my 2000 ford mustang coupe(orginal owner ). Vehicle has problems relating to the position of the carpet around the accelerator pedal. After minimal use of the vehicle ( 5000 miles or around 3-5 months of use) a large hole developed on the right side of the accelerator pedal. If theaccelerator is depressed fully or almost fully the side of your shoe can catch on the hole long enough to pose a saftey hazard of not being able to take your foot immeadatly off the accelerator pedal. I have had this happen on several occasions, and have to be very concious of my foot position on the accelerator pedal when driving to prevent this problem now that i am aware of it. Ford deems this problem as normal wear and tear on the car and would not cover replacement of the carpet under my bumper to bumper warrenty.(which is now expired)pictures are available, please contact and i will forward them to you.
