Takata recallford notified us of the passenger frontal airbag inflator recall in july 2016. We have not received any additional information regarding the availability of parts and service for this recall.
Takata inflators i received a letter advising my mustang was recalled due to airbags i just spoke with university ford in chapel hill nc and was advised that they were replacing recalled airbag with same airbag as a temperary fix to send the removed airbag to ford for study. They would get in touch with me when a permanent fix was available. It does not make sense to replace with a temporary fix.my other vehicle a toyota, airbag was replaced by dealer with none of this run around if there is a recall then i deserve to have a permanent fix not a temporary one. While ford is dragging their feet my son who drives this car is in danger of losing his life. I kean this is either a recall or a stall and sounds like ford is stalling at the cost of the lives of people driving their cars. Why would i replace an airbag with one of the same type when the replacement might be defective and the one they took out for study might turn out to be fine. Ford needs to step up as the other manufacturers have. Toyota did not do a temporary fix, they fixed the problem

Brought the vehicle in for airbag replacement. Made an appointment ahead of time. Left the car over night. Contacted the service dept the next day and they told me the repair was done. I went in and was handed the keys and paperwork and told it was done. I kept getting recall notices from ford, so i contacted them to let them know the airbags had been replaced. They insisted i never brought the car in, but i have the paperwork. Upon going over the details with ford during the first phone call. Only one airbag had been replaced, and they gave the car back to me under the impression it was safe to drive. Last week was the third time i've contacted. Each time they say they will investigate the matter and never call back. I've lost confidence in this dealership and ford for being unwilling to admit they dropped the ball and fix the problem. Their letters say they will come to you, but that's not happening either. I would like to watch this being done, sorry i just don't trust them anymore. (i have the paperwork)

I contacted my ford dealership to schedule the replacement of the passenger frontal airbag. They tell me they do not have the replacement part and that they have been waiting 1.5 years to get the part. The deployment of defective airbags could result in death. The fact that the replacement part has been on order for 1.5 years and has still not been sent to ford dealerships is not acceptable.

Takata recall - i received notice that the company is filing chapter 11 and i still have an outstanding recall on the passenger side air bag (the driver's side was also recalled but i have had that one replaced already). I went to the recommended website (www.airbagrecall.com) to see about obtaining a free replacement airbag but the recall status says 'recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available.' how am i supposed to resolve this safety issue?
Don't have passer airbag. Now for two years
When contacting ford dealerships, they state they do not have the parts for the recall. I do not question the dealerships, as i feel they sincerely don't. But there are two airbag recalls for this model and this have been going on for quite sometime, with the dealerships not having the parts to fix recalls from 2016 through today.

Takata recall -recall 15s21 - parts are still unavailable for this fix since july 2015.live in high humidity area - have two mustangs that need the recall fix done and the dealership is unable to get the parts.how long is it going to take to fix a critical issue.recall is useless without the available parts - this is too long after a recall notice for the parts to still be unavailable.please notify when parts will be available for ford.other auto companies (honda) have been able to get the fix - but not ford for the mustangs.
Takata recalli purchased a used 2005 ford mustang from tideland ford in pawleys island s.cwhen i checked on the recall list my car was on the list for takata airbag, i went to the dealer to check to see if it had been repaired and was told it wasn,t they claim my airbag is of thee old ford style not the same as the newer fords and ford will be replacing the newer ones first and not to hold my breath on mine getting mine fixed in the near future because they have no old style in inventory. As ilive in a high humidity area , which is the climate to cause the airbag to fail. Now i know this is not the fault of tideland as they have been honest and as helpful as they could but cannot do anything until ford supplies them with the appropriate replacement. I am worried each time i drive the car as it is ten years old, and probably about to fail what can be done to have ford also supply there dealers with the correct parts to fix my car.

My ford mustang still needs it's recalled passenger airbag replaced - 10 months after receiving a recall notice letter from ford.repeated calls to the dealer and ford customer service have not helped and ford will give no specific information when the recall repair will occur, why the delay has been so long or what the cause of the delay is.they do not offer any specific department to speak with regarding this and when i asked for an address of someone i could send a letter to, i was told "they don't have that information.

"takata recall" - received a recall notice in 2016 concerning defective inflators in air bags. Contacted local ford dealer on numerous occasions (6+). Dealer will not return my calls. Was told today that repair parts are still not available. This is not an acceptable length of time to get a recall repaired. I would expect better service from ford than i have received. Currently i own a 2005 mustang with only 84,000 miles and i can not have a passenger in the front seat area. Unacceptable!!! it has been over 18 months. Again unacceptable!!
Takata recallwould like to see something done about the passenger side.they sent ma a notice saying not to have anyone on the passenger side.this negates my cars usefulness.how about you people do something as ford doesn't want to. Maybe use a "lemon law and make them buy it back"do something!!have filed before with assurance that something would be done.not!!

2005 ford mustang.consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair passenger side airbag recall notice.
Takata recall.i have been asking my local dealer when the driver side airbag will be replaced.i have been told the same quote for years, "when ford finds a new supplier for the takata air-bag we will have one for you".my family cannot ride in my passenger front seat.if this is a mandatory recall, then why isn't ford made to replace the part?why cannot ford just use a new airbag in place of the old air-bag?i have been told by many mechanics that the front dashboard of recent year mustangs take the same style of airbag.if another person is injured, it will be on the hands of nhtsa for not forcing the replacement airbag. I live in one of the hottest, most humid climate changing areas in the usa.summers of humid 105 f. Degree, and winters down to 20 degrees.my mustang is a convertible and receives 100% of the humidity when the top is down.

Takata recall. On 3/25/15 i had my driver side air bag replaced per ford recall 14b09. Then in july of 2015 i got a letter from ford stating that the airbag had to be replaced again and was still under recall. The number of this recall is15s21 and ford would send me a letter when parts were available. In february of 2016 i still had not heard from ford so i called my dealer and they told me parts were not available. At the same time i emailed ford and the reply was to wait for parts to be available. Finally on 5/25/16 i emailed ford again trying to find out if parts were available and i was told that i would be notified in the "very near future" about the availability of parts. As of today 6/30/16 i still have not heard about the parts being available. It has been since march 2015 that i have been driving around with a possible defective airbag in my mustang. Apparently the replacement airbag they put in on 3/25/15 may also be defective per ford. My wife and i drive this vehicle and i don't know if it is safe to drive. I actually asked ford if the vehicle was safe to drive and they did not really answer that question. I live in an area of high heat in phoenix and i am wondering if our lives are in danger driving this vehicle. Apparently my vehicle is on the priority two list for getting the airbag replaced whatever that means. Is there any way to speed this up? thank you.
We have been waiting a year to get this problem corrected. I hate sending my child out in this car but, can't afford to go buy a new car.i don't understand why it has taken over a year to get parts to fix a problem that could cause death!
Had air bags replaced about 2 weeks ago andit shows on the nhtsa website that bags still need to replaced,how long does it take before it shows they were replaced?

Takata recall i received a letter from ford motors saying "arepair is available for your vehicle."the letter told me " please call your dealer without delay and request a service date for recall 16s26 to receive your free repair."i called hawk ford in oak lawn, il, identified my recall and they immediately scheduled an appointment.when i arrived, they said they did not have the part and could not perform the work.this is the second time it has happened with the same dealer.the first time i did misunderstand the letter and assumed the work could be done.however the dealer's staff still scheduled the repair and didn't have the part.

This complaint is regarding an air-bag light that comes on when driving my 2005 mustang.the car was purchased new from joe meyers ford in houston.within the first year, the air-bag light started coming on randomly.it might not come on for days, then decides to come on.the owner's manual says if this light comes on to take it to the dealership, nothing else.the first time i brought it to the service department's attention, i was told if it wasn't on it wasn't a problem.within my second year of ownership, the air-bag light came on while driving to the dealership for a routine oil change.this time the service again saw the light on.they kept the car, sold me a battery service where they removed the cable and sprayed anti-corrosion stuff on the terminal.this did not change the random light coming on while driving.i brought it back to the dealership for the ford mustang recall to re-program the airbag system.this did not change the random light coming on while driving.received a call in may 2008 that they had a replacement sensor for my car.brought it in and was told it was the wrong sensor.the service agent told me to call back later (no specific time line)to see if they had the new sensor.the car's warranty was up in july 2008, the light comes on all the time, and the dealership said they do not have the sensor for my car, but there are 5 dealers in town that have them.i plan to bring the car back this next week for them to fix the sensor, and feel they should honor the warranty.whether they fix the problem or not remains to be seen.

Takata inflators.i have been trying since last august to get the recall done on both my front airbags.first the dealer(charles gabus ford in desmoines iowa)promised me a loaner car for the day my car would be in the shop,only to travel there 40 miles and then they say they had none available.then i contacted ford motor co. Recall department just to try to get my name off of their recall mailing list due to the fact that they don't really take this recall seriously.after requesting to talk to a supervisor because i was getting nowhere with this woman ,she simply hung up on me.

After we had the first airbag recall replaced we started to experience the flicker 9f the airbag light. We assumed this was due to the necessity of the passenger side airbag needing to be recalled. Our service technician doesn't agree. They say the instrument cluster needs replacing. The only information i can find on that is that all other gauges fail if the cluster needs replacing. That is why i feel that the light is on directly because of the airbag recall.

Takata recall - i, along with others, am still waiting for the passenger side airbag to be replaced by ford.it has now been over a year since the recall, and the part is unavailable.the person at vista ford told me i shouldn't drive the car with anyone in the passenger seat -- i should put them in the back, which is barely comfortable for a dog.then i called ford motor co, whose rep told me that ford and the nhtsa say the car is perfectly safe to drive while i'm waiting for the recall. Isn't ford liable and do you really endorse continuing to drive passengers in the front?nobody knows when the part will be available -- i'm extremely concerned.

Takata recall as well as problems filling the gas tank. While stationary trying to pump gas in to the gas tank the gas pump will shut off after pumping no ore than 1/16 of a tank then requiring you to dribble gas in to the tank with the pump regularly shutting off every few seconds and never filling the tank with out the pump shutting off completely, and this happens at all pumps in every state and every brand of gas. Once you pump as much gas as the pump will allow you have to hold te throttle pedal down to the floor to get the car to start and then you have to feather the pedal to keep the engine running which causes the engine to race and is very dangerous.

Takata inflatorstakata still has not made available recall replacement airbag for passenger seat
Takata recall. Ford sent a safety recall notice dated december 2017, in regards to a passenger side airbag inflator: 16s26. In this letter, ford tells me there will be no parts available until at a minimum of spring 2018, and word for ford:"warning: until remedy parts become available, do not allow anyone to sit in the first row passenger seat. The air bag could rupture during deployment in a crash and cause injuries or death. When the front row passenger seat is not occupied, the passenger air bag will not deploy, eliminating the risk."ford customer service has stated there are no loaners due to this..just that i cannot have any passengers in my car. I do not feel safe for myself and my family, and find it ridiculous my only option is to not have any passengers. Ford needs to legally provide a rental car as they feel they don't need to assist the customers they are putting in danger.
Recall in july 2016 now way over a year and still no remedy. Recal nhtsa number 16v384, ford recall number 16s26. This is way too,long to wait for a part.
"takata recall" - i received my letter on july 2016 stating i needed to replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator. Since this date i have made 5 attempts to have someone give me a schedule as to when this issue will be resolved. One year later i am still getting the run around from ford. On july 17, 2017 i contacted the ford michigan headquarters and they told me to call customer relations at 800-392-3673. The conversation began with the same excuse that they were working on the problem and i would receive a letter when the air bag could be replaced.it was at that time i stated i wanted them to open a case file for me. The number i received for the open case is cas12729115. Not allowing anyone to sit in the passenger seat for one year has caused an enormous burden on my family for fear that serious injury may result.your help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Takata recall. Notified by ford motor company on july 21 of 2016 of safety recall 16s26 involving the passenger side airbag inflator.since then i have checked three times on the status for resolution and received no information.
Takata recalli am complaining today about sarasota ford. My car windshield wipers would not work and it had something to do with electrical. I had my friend take my car there because i had to return back to the midwest. I did not want to drive 19 hours without wipers. I figured since it was there i would call and have them take care of this airbag recall. I was told everything was taken care of and i paid them over the phone and was going to fly and pick it up that week. Hurricane irma made that impossible by the time i did pick up my car i never spoke to any of the service department. I wanted to make sure everything was safe to drive 19 hours home. I had to even walk in the back parking lot because the secretary who did help get my keys couldn't drive a stick. There was a bag of food left in my backseat and maggots was in my backseat . I knew they were swamped so i didn't even complain. I was on my way back to kc and my car won't start when i was in the middle of nowhere. I immediately call sarasota ford and they put me on hold for a long time. I finally hung up and some locals helped me pop start my clutch. I drove two more hours and my car started overheating. I pull over and its steaming. I had to get a hotel room in alabama somewhere and a tow truck. It ended up being the thermostat housing. I thought that sarasota would of gave my car a full diagnostic to figure out what was the problem. I just went to the airbagrecall.com because i got another reminder to fix recall this week and it my still has a airbag recall. I am just lucky my car only broke down after getting fixed at sarasota ford. I could of wrecked and the airbag would of been faulty.

Takata recall- my son has received an initial replacement on the driver's side air bag. There was a fix before the part was available for the driver's side. However, the passenger side airbag remains a risk to any passenger that rides with him. There is currently no fix available. The recall began in june 2016 for the passenger side airbag. I do not want any of his siblings or friends riding in this vehicle until it is safe.

The air bag light behind the steering wheel comes on at random occasions.after starting the car in cool wet weather, or after the 3rd or 4th stop in a series of errands.it stays on until i turn the ignition off.after turning the ignition on again, sometimes it stays on again, and much of the time it goes off after the initial computer check.of course the dealer says they cannot do anything unless it is on all of the time.so what does it mean when it decides to stay on?will it not deploy in the event of an accident?
Passenger air bag light comes on saying "passenger air bag off" with someone sitting in the passenger seat. Have taken it to the dealer 3 times they say there is no code coming up there is nothing they can do to fix it. Vehicle has also had to be towed in twice for a dead cell in the battery and the battery replaced.
Fuel gauge, speedometer and digital read out. Comments: hello, i am having significant problems with the speedometer on my 2005 ford mustang v6. This is by no means an isolated problem. Speedometer jumps to anywhere between 20 to 80 mph and remains at 20 to 80. I have seen it on every forum that i could find and in large numbers. I have noticed is it seems to be more prevalent when it is below 40f degrees outside. The same thing happened with the fuel gauge so i filled the tank, but the gas gauge still shows 1/4 tank. This is a safety issue and there needs to be resolve before someone gets hurt, if not already. I checked ford site, there are no recalls on this i'm surprised they haven't had a recall yet.
Gauges stopped working. Tachometer, speedometer, gas gauge, temperature gauge.ford dealer told me over $600.00 to replace/repair. I've talked to several other mustang owners and they have the same problem.
My engine overheated when it cooled down i checked the cooling fan connectors and discovered they have melted now the fan won't operate.
On my 2005 ford mustang, which was purchased used, after having it for 2 month the fuel and odometer gauges began acting erratic.the dealership would not cover as part of the warranty.this is a defect and why should the consumer be let holding the financial bag...
Dt:the modulator for the fuel ejection system did not work on july 29, 2005.the vehicle stopped and quit running in the middle of the road. Had it towed to the ford dealer. Its has been almost 2 weeks ,and they did not have thepart. The check engine light came on came on.the vehicle stalled.
I took my 2005 mustang to the dealer after it had rained and water came into the car,,all the electric turned of then back on when i was driven on the highway,they said they couldn't find anything wrong,,i see this has been a problem from what i have been reading,,now the gauges don't work,,was told it was the cluster because of the water,,can you get anything done about this.
Had the airbag replaced/ weeks later had the "faulty seal" problem followed by the "sjm " box (smart junction box) destroyed by the water damage due to faulty seal. Now the sjm is on backorder until aug. 2016. Seal already replaced in march/2016 when order placed for sjb. Researching the problem there are thousands of complaints regaurding 05-07 mustang models. Due to make design. Unfortunately, resulting in window motor failure, battery drain, headlights stuck on high beams, turn signals stuck on, insturment cluster malfunction and dash lights fail. I have searched for any recall information and civil suite/ class action. The dangers and the numbers are clear, ford needs to be investigated on this matter. The ford customers deserve to be compensated for their losses and damages. Especially in the case of individuals whom are waiting for the sjm box to be manufactured due to shortage of materials.
Speedometer and tachometer needle does not function correctly. Speedometer does not move half the time from resting position and the tachometer will rotate all the way around and stay where it is when the car is turned off. The battery, oil, and temp needles do not move from off position half the time.transmission does not shift smoothly and shifts harder going from second to third.
The vehicles tachometer has failed and no longer properly measures the vehicles rpms. It is probably caused by a failed motor in the gauge cluster.
All of the gauges in the gauge cluster have stopped working correctly, the speedometer registers over 80 mph when driving 20 mph. Gas gauge was the first gauge to start acting weird and now the gas and all other gauges do not register correctly. This seems to be a common problem and a safety hazzard for this year model and a recall for the gauge cluster needs to be in order for all 2005 mustang owners.
One incident, driving home from work when car ran out of gas and saw the as gas guage indicator facing straight down, temperature guage and the tachometer was not working. The car ran out of gas on major high way and my daughter alone stuck on the road at 3 am with large trucks passing by. She had believed the car had plenty of gas. The guages are still not fixed properly do not work at 100777 miles.
Gauge cluster not operational. Speedometer inaccurate. While sitting at a stand still will read 70 mph, or other measurements. Tachometer not functioning a majority of the time. Sits below 0 at all times of operation.
I was driving down the road at the speed limit when all of a sudden the engine light came on and the car immediately stalled.i had to pull over to the shoulder and put my hazards on so i didn't get hit from behind or cause a dangerous accident to the other motorists.i turned off the car, left the hazards on and waited a few minutes before starting it up again.it started thankfully and i was able to pull into a parking lot safely to avoid an accident.very frightening experience.eventually someone was able to come and help me get my car home.we believe that the incident had something to do with the defective throttle body, and throttle body sensor.ford should have recalled this problem and pay for their faulty parts.this car is a 2005 ford mustang convertible with a v6 engine.
Started out with speedometer,then the car would startone day but not the next now any thing that is electrical does not work checked online and there are several complants about this . Ford knows about the problem but will nothing about it.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that the instrument panel was inoperable including the fuel, temperature and speedometer gauges. Both the dealer and manufacturer advised the contact to replace the instrument cluster and advised her that there were no recalls associated with the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The current mileage was 121,000 and the failure mileage was 100,000.
My 2005 ford mustang v6 has been having speedometer malfunctions weekly.these malfunctions cause the speedometer to start at numbers that are not 0, resulting in an inaccurate reading of my speed.it read 120 while i may only be going 40 and even when i shut down the vehicle it will remain at 40+.a temporary fix is to turn the vehicle on and off which sometimes causes the needles to slowly drop, but usually it will stay over 20 for extended periods of time, and when i do succeed in reaching 0 within a week or two the problem will occur again.i have been in contact with many other owners of the same model and year of this vehicle and all are having similar problems, most of us have gone to a ford dealership and have been told that it will be a $500-$650 repair/ replacement of the instrument cluster which seems to be the reason for the problems, but since so many are having a similar problem shouldn't this be a recall?
The speedometer sticks at approx 60,40,35 mph.it will use that as zero so if it sticks at 60. And you are going 60 it will read 120.ford says that i should replace the instrument panel.there are numerous other 2005 mustang v6 owners who have the same problem.
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.
Speedometer not functioning.while driving 30mph will register as 50mph or while driving 60pmh will register as 120mph.emissions trouble light will periodically go on.
Drove not knowing how fast i was goingexcept my gps thank god, airbag said malfuntion popped me in the face, lights were dim couldn't see and drove into a pole. Third huge issue and ford won'r fix b/c warranty i could have killed or been killed.
Defect in under cowl drainage leads to rainwater leaking into passenger compartment.water drains down wiring harness into the smart junction box casing electrical shorts that at first caused the right headlamp to shutdown after 15 seconds.recycling the headlight switch brings the headlight back on for another 15 seconds.this condition renders the vehicle unsafe to operate from sunset to sunrise.now the drivers side headlamp has begun the same problem.i checked online and it is apparent that this is a significant safety issue for which the vehicle manufacturer has no part available to fix.they initially informed me that the smj would be available to purchase last september.that has now been pushed back to february of 2016.they want over $400 for the part plus additional labor to program and install a component that should have been recalled years ago.this problem is already covered under a tsb and the defect can cause a multitude of malfunctions that could easily result in life threatening situations.i just recently checked and found over 286 reports on file with nhtsa, yet no apparent investigations appear to have been conducted, nor a recall.it is my sincer hope that nhtsa is not waiting for a body count before taking action.http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forums/2005-2010-mustang-talk/301555-pics-vid-2005-dash-water-leak-fix.html#/forumsite/20799/topics/301555?page=1https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rwsgwtizix5qu_tgsnhlx4mwgnsuji-zs6pjwsa_sre/mobilebasic?pli=1
The speedometer on the instrument cluster stopped working.a few months later the tachometer stopped working.in april 2013, the temperature gauge stopped working.all gauge needles are stuck on the bottom of the gauges.
I'm having the same issue everyone else is with their speedometer, tach, fuel gage.it was working fine, the weather warmed up and it would work sometimes.then it just stopped working completely.i'm afraid to drive the car because i have no way of telling how fast i'm going.i could understand this happening if i had 100,000 miles on it, but as of yesterday, 4/26/2021 it just hit 39,034.with everyone having this same issue, how is not a safety recall.i had to replace the instrument cluster at cost of $875.this is a known issue and a dangerous one.
I have a 2005 ford mustang, 4.0 and about 3 years ago the cluster started giving me problems, first the temp and fuel gauges stopped working all together. Then my tachometer and speed started acting very erratic, showing that my tachometer was running above what it should as well my speedometer are going crazy. It shows me doing 120 when i'm doing 40, 55 etc.. Why won't ford recall these clusters in all these cars, they know that they are bad. I almost had another heart attack when i got the price to replace the cluster from the local ford company, it was going to cost me $800.00, plus a diagnostic fee of $100.00. Wow!!!! talk about greed!!!!
The gauge clusters failed. The speedometer failed and is no longer working. Rpm and fuel gauge are starting to fail. From what i have read on-line. The 2005 mustang gauge motors were poorly designed and ford fixed the problem in the 2006 models but failed to fix the defective parts in the 2005 models.
Instrument cluster (panel) - speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge all not working. Can't tell how fast i am going or how much gas i have ect all 6 gauges do not register at all.
As with manyother ford mustang owners know instrument gauges fail. I have stopped driving my mustang because i received two speeding tickets about a month or two apart..i was doing the speed limit according to my dash but chp told me different. Did not believe or want to hear anything i said. I paid $900 for the first ticket and cant afford to pay another $900.00 for the second one so they are not letting me renew my license which is required for the job i do. So i'm gonna lose my job on my birthday. Justice in america...this has ruined my life...no one will help me or listen to me and i'm tired of trying to get help... Someone needs to be held responsible for this so when i commit suicide after i'm let go from my job in two months what happened to me will not happen to anyone else. Please...justice for all..
They get stuck especially in cooler weather. The tach is now stuck hanging in the down position. The odometer can go anywhere from 20 to 40 mph faster than i am going. When stopped it will be in that position.
I have a 2005 ford mustang and the instrument panel stopped working properly.according to the gauge, i was going 120 mph!!then the lights, radio, and doors stopped working.i notice there are a lot of this make and model with the same problem.it's very irritating to have to borrow a car to get to work and back.i've always driven mustangs and never had a problem before, so this took me by surprise.maybe i should look at a honda or chevy.
Instrument cluster not working properly. Works off and on.rpm stuck.speedometer stops working on long rides.
All the gauges and radio on my 2005 mustang v6are failing it starts with the radio then the tach, the fuel gauge and the speed gauge got sticky.
My speedometer is very erratic especially during the cold months. When cold, the speedometer usually reads zero or other times it reads that i am doing 100+ mph when barely moving. When the weather is warm i have no problems at all. I feel that this is very unsafe driving without a properly functioning speedometer. I have read many online forums and this seems to be a very common problem with the 2005 mustang.please please please help us 2005 ford mustang owners and issue a recall on this problem.
After the leaving the car turned off for approximately 1.5 hours my two teenage daughters, age 17 and 15, got in the car to drive home and noticed that the car smelled a little smoky.they drove down the road for about 5 minutes when the electrical panel went dead, then the power locks began to go up and down continuously and the smell of smoke became more prominent.at this point, they became very concerned that they were going to be locked in the car with smoke pouring out and not be able to get out of the car.so they pulled into a parking lot, immediately exited the car and called 911.as soon as they got out of the car, smoke began billowing out of both doors which were left open.5 minutes after exiting the car, flames which reached two feet high, began coming out from under the glove compartment. A passerby obtained a fire extinguisher and tried to put out the flames, then the fire department arrived and proceeded to put out the fire completely.the fire department indicated that it was an electrical fire but were not able to determine the source.they indicated that they thought the vehicle was totaled, which was in fact the case.clearly, this was a very upsetting situation for our entire family.we feel blessed that the girls were able to get out in time, but also upset at the thought of what could have happened had they not acted immediately or were not in a position to do so.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that the entire instrument panel failed. The contact could not determine at which speed they were traveling or the amount of gasoline fuel that was in the fuel tank. The contact stated that the instrument panel gauges began failing over ten months ago and progressed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 72,000......updated 01/14/13updated 1/16/2013
The instrument gauges are not working properly.the speedometer will often stick at 0-20mph while it is well over that.the temperature gauge is also stuck on cold even when the car has been warmed up for quite some time.
2005 ford mustang instrument cluster fails.it will either not work or is improperly reporting speed, temperature, battery, tachometer, and gas supply.
This 2005 mustang was bought used about a year and a half ago. Within a few months we noticed the messenger side floor would be wet when it rained. Soon after the speedometer quit working. The extended warranty did not cover the repair. A few months later the heat and air control unit went out. These two repairs cost over a thousand dollars to fix. On october 102015 while at the drive up teller at a bank the car would not come out of park. Tried shutting it off but would not restart. Seemed to have complete electrical failure. No lights gauges or anything electrical would work. It was raining. After jumping the car several times we were able to get it home. We inspected the ecu and found green and white corrosion indicating water had been getting inside the box. When i called ford they took a report but said they would not fix the problem unless there was a recall. There is a technical service bulletin issued tsb 07-14-6
Dash cluster stops working no fuel, temp, no speed. Sometimes everything stops working. If i restart car it seems to reset its self.when trying to fill up gas tank it won't allow fuel to go in shuts pump off splashes out, found that ifi hold fuel nozzle upside down i can get some gas in but takes about 10-15 mins to fill tank. These problems occur every week.i have not received notice yet of recall for airbag. Ford should recall gas tank problem and dash clusters seems like 2005 years have issues!
2005 ford mustang.instrument guage cluster.gas guage goes from over full to empty and sticks at empty.tachometer is not working properly, the needle moves with the rpms of the engine but it hangs below the numbers.speedometer just started not caculating the proper speed, currently it is off by 5-10 miles per hour.
My 2005 v6 mustang gauge cluster is erratic. Rpm run high/low and stick. Gas gauge has spun past full and points toward the floor. Temp gauge sits at 3 o'clock most of the time. Speedometer intermittently works fine, reads incorrectly or doesn't work at all.
I just visited an online ford forum after being quoted $950 to repair my speedometer on my 2005 ford mustang. There are 4 pages of complaints detailing the same problem with the same vehicle. Perhaps ford has avoided a recall by stating this does not effect safety or emissions. However, i got my first speeding ticket in over a decade 2 days after this problem began. Speed control does effect safety, and apparently, if gone without repair, the non-working speedometer effects the transmissions ability to shift properly, which is also a safety hazard.i do not have $950 to repair this problem, nor can i afford to pay the costs of speeding ticket fines, and the rise in my cost of auto insurance due to these fines. Please investigate this problem, as it appears to be a recurrent issue with this vehicle that ford should take responsibility for.
Speedometer, tachometer, temp , and fuel gauges fail intermittently. Gauges get stuck or provide false readings.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that the speedometer would become stuck. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer and the contact was advised that the entire cluster would need to be replaced. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 65,000.
None of the gauges on this vehicle work. Including speed/temp/oil/fuel.
First thing that happened with my car was the two inches of water it started taking in every time it rains. Then the rpm gauge and speedometer went; never can tell how fast i am going (real safe). Next went the gas and temp gauges. Now it rained again a few days ago (12/2012) and i have no working locks, windows, radio or headlights along with water in my floorboard. Ford needs to fix these problems that the 2005 mustang has with it. These are not safe driving conditions and it looks like i am not the only one with these problems. I will not pay $3000 to fix their mistake. I will spend that money on a lawyer against ford before i pay for their mistake. They need to do a recall and fix this. I had to get my car towed last night because i had no headlights. The tow truck driver said that my car was the fourth mustang he had to tow that night!!!
Failed speedometer. Speedometer pegs past its upper end, and then resets every couple of days.
The car's instrument cluster suddenly completely malfunctioned, the "fail-safe" engine system light came on, causing the engine to shut down and to suddenly stop the car in moving traffic. This was truly a life-endangering situation. The speedometer and the engine temperature dials of the instrument cluster had been erratic in the past weeks before the incident. Obviously, this car is unsafe to drive.for more than five weeks ford motor company has claimed to have no instrument clusters available to fix the problem.
Speedometer failure. The speedometer in my car started showing i was going 10mph while the car was not moving.i had to turn the car off and restart it to get a correct reading. Eventually that didn't work. The speedometer would stay at 10 or 20mph till the car warmed up, then it worked fine. Then it started staying at 20mph if the weather was cold. (at night it didn't work, in the daytime when it was warmer outside it worked). Now the speedometer doesn't work at all any more. Its permanantly stuck on 55mph even when the car isn't running. I did research on line and found a large amount of 05 mustang owners with the same exact problem. This is a safety issue and an obvious manufactured defect and needs to be recalled to fix the problem.
The instrument panel in my 05 mustang has completely failed.in 2008, the gauges would become erratic at times. (tach, speedometer, etc) this has become more problematic over the last couple of years usually only occurring in colder weather. At this point, the gauges have completely failed. Case in point: during the summer of 2011 the car "actually" overheated due to a cracked thermostat housing and the gauge never displayed the issue before the failure. We were fortunate to have picked up on the issue (while driving the car at highway speed) before a fire or other unfortunate event occurred.... Or before the car was permanently damaged. When i've consulted with the local ford dealer ship,(cookeville, tn) they act as if this the instrument panel failure is something new. This issue is posted on every major mustang forum or support site. Heck, there are even businesses on the "web" that advertise their ability to replace the "stepper motors" that control the gauge functions. Apparently the stepper motors that ford opted to use in their instrument panels are the cause of the issue.furthermore i receive customer complaint updates via the carfax web portal monthly. Each update contains dozens of new reports with this problem. So.....the excuse that ford doesn't know anything about this issue..... Doesn't hold water.if ford wants to offshore its components to 3rd world countries for cheaper labor and parts..... Fine. The least they could do is stand behind their products when / if they fail. After all, they should have extra $$$ in the coffers from the savings of offshoring their components.any help you fellas could provide in pressuring ford to step up and take care of their problem would be greatly appreciated.
The mustang battery dies out prematurely. I have had 2 batteries die out in the course of 2.5 years.
All gauges stopped working. First speedometer, than the tact, gas gauge, and finally the hot/cold gauge. I don't know how fast i'm going and i don't know how much gas i have in my car. Every time i drive my car it's a guessing game between gas and speed. Ford needs to issue a recall before someone gets hurt or even worse killed because of this. If not a recall at least make the part cheaper so we can get it fixed instead of going to some make shift shop to get it repaired. $440.00 plus a $300.00 core is way to much for a cluster.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, she noticed that all of the gauges on the instrument panel were not operating. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the cluster would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 80,000.
Speedometer sticks at zero or any other speed. Seems to be a random malfunction that may or may not be aggravated by weather conditions.
I was traveling down the highway and the speedometer went to 0 mph and has not worked properly since that time.my on-line research has revealed that this problem is quite common with this make and year of car and stems from ford installing substandard stepper motors on the instrument cluster gauge circuit boards.this is a safety issue in that i cannot gauge my road speed while moving down the highway.ford should be forced to recall these vehicles and make the necessary repairs since this is a safety issue and ford is aware of the problem.
. I got in my car an started the engine. I then noticed my fuel gauge and speedometer were not working at all. I have always taken care of my mustang an i think ford should recall the cluster. There's been plenty of 2005 models with very same issue. Please recall the gauge cluster it's the right thing to do for a big name company like ford. Original owner.
I have a 2005 ford mustang with a speedometer failure. Having accessed the internet have found an amazing amount of other folks within the same problem. The failure can lead to problems with the transmission shifting causing unsafe operation of the vehicle. It's unbelievable how many other people have had this problem. When contacting ford motor co. Their response has not been to side-step the issue and not acknowledge the problem. Their rep suggested that a recall would have to come from your agency. Those of us that have the problem feel that the repair cost($500.-700.) should be ford's responsibility, not the owners of these vehicles. It's a shame that when something as obvious as this defect is cannot be admitted to be the faulty manufacture of the component by the company that produced it. Makes one reconsider what brand of vehicle one should buy next! please help. I'm sure you've had plenty of complaints about this same issue. [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My tachometer and my temperature gauge are both not working. The motor that moves the needle has gone bad and i researched it and many people are having this same problem! please look into it because many mustang owners are fed up.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My speedometer started acting erratic. It does not work at all now. The needle is stuck past 120 miles. Now my oil, water & battery gauges do not work. Asked my ford technician during my regular oil change and checkup about the problem and they stated that is was a sign my alternator was going out. I had my alternator changed, but it did not correct the problem and after that is when my other gauges quit working. Since this is a problem with almost every one made during that year, you would believe that ford would not want to tarnish their name by not issuing a recall. I have always owned a ford, but my family has recently changed to different makes and i will definitely consider changing after this. This is a safety issue because if your gauges are not working, you could stall in traffic by running out of gas, overheating, engine lock up, etc. I need my car so i can make a living for my family and i do love my car, but i am considering getting rid of it because i am afraid something will happen while i am in traffic. This does not need to wait until people start having accidents or dying. With the economy the way it is today, most people cannot afford to get their car repaired or change cars so they are left with no choice but to take chances. If it was your family in the car and something happened in traffic, would a recall come any faster? i have noticed recalls in the news happening faster when someone dies, but i wonder how many complaints were received before that happened? i suppose it would happen faster if the news were to pick up the story of how many problems existed and were left unnoticed. Thanks for looking into the problem, but please don't wait too long.
Instrument cluster failure - speedometer and tachometer gauges pegged at 0 and un-responsive - known problem to ford.should be covered as recall.
The battery in my 2005 mustang convertible has gone dead twice. There is a technical service bulletin out on this, tsb 07-5-13 which says to tell the owner to buy a battery charger.this tsb applies to 2005-2008 mustangs, 2005 explorer sport trac, 2005-2008 expeditions and explorers, 2007-2008 explorer sport trac, 2005-2008 lincoln navigator and the 2005-2008 mercury mountaineer.ford knows there is a constant drain on these cars that drains the battery unless the car is driven basically every day.they refuse to even replace the battery.
The speedometer, gas gauge and fueling gauge on the instrument cluster has failed.today the lighting behind the panel started to go out.this is a known common problem on the mustang with several people reporting to ford without any response to the public.we paid good money for these cars and this is a safety hazard.i cannot afford the 600+ quote, so i'm using a gps to gauge my speed and i'm having to track my mileage so i know when to get gas.ford needs to recall and fix before someone looses their life.
All of my gauges started to read improperly or not at all, speedometer, oil pressure, gas, battery, coolant temp, rpm. They didn't all go at the same time and theproblem moves around but there is always at least 2 or 3 gauges showing inaccurate data. It has gotten progressively worse. Not knowing how fast i am going is a major safety hazard! i am appalled that this very prevalent problem has not already had a recall issued.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. When the vehicle was started, the speedometer, tachometer,fuel gauge, and temperature gauge failed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 84,000. Updated 03/09/16*lj
In reference to tsb-08-26-7 and tsb-07-14-6, there is a difficult to diagnose water leak in the floor board of the vehicle. The water leak coming from the passenger side of the vehicle from the wheel well into the floor board of the vehicle comes into contact with the smart junction box (sjb) of the vehicle. When water seeps into the sjb, it short circuits the majority of the electrical system of the vehicle including: headlights, tail lights, a/c, instrument panel, radio, windshield wipers, rear defroster, windows, door locks, and a variety of other items. If all the correct conditions prevail, such as, night time driving in the rain and the water seeps into the sjb and short circuits it, the driver is left in the dark with no lighting, no wipers, or instrumentation of any type. Quick fix for dangerous condition was to pull the kick panel out of the floor board, unplug the sjb connector, and allow to briefly air dry before reconnecting. Vehicle was taken to dealer only to be claimed the "instrument cluster" was bad. Even though the tsbs were mentioned by the owner, nothing was said of the sjb being the problem.
My car shows erratic needle movement and gauges are reading over heat 0 miles per hour while moving and sticks at 120 mph after use and is parked. Gas meter is off, odometer is off, it's very scary to drive and expensive. Already dealt with the water leak issue form passenger side. Cluster panel is broken i believe. Bad dash board. Hundreds of forums explain same issues on going years on new models. Not safe or fair for ford to not address this death trap.
Just got it don't know what's wrong with it
Returning home from work, the engine stopped operating. I pulled onto the median and managed to bring my vehicle to a stop. The check engine light as well as other icons were lit up on the information panel which indicated there was still electrical power. After a couple of attempts the vehicle started and i proceeded on my way. Traffic was heavy by this time. Within the next mile or so the vehicle stalled an additional 4-5 times particularly when stopped at intersections. I managed to restart the vehicle and proceeded directly to the auto dealership since it was on my way.
I own a 2005 ford mustang gt rain leaks into the passenger side interior above the fuse and smart junction box. When i was driving it in the rain i lost all electrical functions ie headlights,brake lights wipers, horn and so on. Luckily i was driving during the day and could see had it been night time i would have crashed. I called my ford dealer and they stated that are aware of the water leaks with the mustangs but did not offer to fix for a defect on their fault. A search of the internet shows many people with the same problem.
All dash gauges work erratically, happens at random both while driving and at start up.
The speedometer were not working at all. I read in very forum that2005 models with very same issue. Think ford should recall the cluster. I read this in other complain and my opinion is the same. "please recall the gauge cluster it's the right thing to do for a big name company like ford. Original owner".
The speedometer, fuel gauge, rpm gauge and engine temperature gauge all no longer work in my 2005 mustang.they have all failed to function properly.
When car is shutdown, the speedmometer needle sticks at different points on the dial. When running the speedometer registers speeds not consistent with actual speed as measured by gps.ford motors has elected to repair this defect by replacing the entire instrument cluster at an estimated $770.00 price. An internet search will show that this problem -- caused by defective stepper motors -- is pervasive for this model year.i believe that knowing one's speed is critical to driving safely for the driver, the car's occupants and pedestrians (e.g. School children) near by.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the temperature gauge became inoperable with no symptoms of the engine over heating. A certified mechanic replaced the thermostat and temperature gauge. The failure persisted after the repair was performed. In addition, an independent mechanic diagnosed the vehicle where a trouble code was not detected. Recently the fuel gauge failed to operate. The vehicle had not been repaired for either one of the defects. The manufacturer was notified and they informed that there was not a recall related to the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
While traveling, the speedometer indicated speed changed from 60 mph to 125 mph. It now reads 65 mph when stopped, even while off, and seems to always indicate actual speed plus 65. There is no way to determine actual speed.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that the speedometer would indicate incorrect speeds. When the vehicle was traveling 55 mph, the speedometer would display a reading of 110 mph. The vehicle had not been inspected or repaired. The vin was unavailable. The current and failure mileages were approximately 78,000.
All of my gauges are out..i don't know my speed, temp of my car, etc. Dealership advising the cluster is out & its a common problem. Estimate for repair is about $1200.00. I see multitudes of complaints for this same reason..same year & make & model. This obviously should be a recall.
Driving down the highway in a drizzle rain, the headlights, blinkers, fuel gauge, stereo, stopped working, the ebrake light, fuel light, check engine light, oil light, came on. The traction control turned of and will not turn back on. On passenger side of vehicle floor was wet, the smart junction box had water on it and on the wiring harness.
Automatic transmission has trouble shifting into low gear. Doesn't want to accelerate after stopping. Sounds as if it is stuck in a gear. Have read many complaints about this online and ford just claims it isn't their problem. Also, all gauges quit working at approx 70,000 miles. Fuel system is terrible. Will not pump gas past half a tank and spits gas back out while pumping like its full. Causes pump to constantly shut off. All of these are incredibly dangerous and makes this car unsafe to drive.
2005 mustang v6 automatic. Stalling unexpectly this has happened several times.repair shop unable to find out what is wrong.also temperature gauge not working already replaced the sensor and it worked for a while now not working again.now my transmisstion is slipping. And of course filling the car with gas is also a problem.seems to be that all these problems are very commong and i think ford should be taking care of fixing them.
I purchased my car new march 1, 2005. I have done all of the suggested maintenance through the dealer. In 2011 - water pouring in under dash front passenger floor.i took the car to the dealer and they couldn't find the leak. I started to wet vacuumingthe water out.then the car started to smell like mold. I finally called my nephew who works for ford in another city.he cleaned out the drain in front of the passenger side and dried out the car. Why didn't the mechanic at landmark know about the drain? around this time the carstarted to lock and unlock itself while parked in the driveway.called dealer no help. Called nephew he said wiring issue.the locking and unlocking stopped.since then the locks try to relock anytime i accelerated from a full stop. I have found my windows rolled down.i never leave my windows down. I am a big stickler when it comes tolocking my car up and i don't leave my windows down. It happened again this last week. Next came the trunk. It would unlock while i was driving. Finally removed the fuse to make it stop. The next fail was the instrument cluster. Nothing works right. Sporadically the speedometer works but can stop any time.luckily the odometer works so i use the trip meter to know when to get gas.right now my car lies dead in the driveway.the cd changer started shuffling cd's when the car was running or parked.problem was it had not been turned on.i have on occasion smelled smoke in the car while driving.from researching the internet, evidently there is an issue with the electrical system shorting out due to water getting into the fuse box due to the drain on the passenger side. My car only has 107000 miles on it.ford knows about this issue and has know.they need to make it right. Oh and to top it off, i took it to a ford specialist and they said it was the alternator. $370 later my car is still dead.
The speedo went first then all the other gauges started giving false on no reading at all. I am using a gps for a speedo others in this small town say they are having the same problems with there 2005 mustangs.i took it back to the dealer they said they knew of no recalls or problems.
There is a manufacturer's defect that allows water leakage into the instrument panel/smart box junction and subsequently into the vehicle itself.resultant issues include the inability to drive the vehicle (frozen shift), electrical failure with loss of instruments including various gauges, brake lights, ventilation/ac, power windows, and headlights, and physical water damage (mold/mildew).ford is aware of the defect and later models were redesigned to compensate for the flaw.however, ford refuses to issue a recall or acknowledge the deficiency, nor will they provide any kind of financial assistance with the necessary repairs directly caused by this defect.should the mustang experience the above mentioned electrical failures while being driven, an accident could occur.there are numerous similar incidents reported about this exact same issue, and ford must be held accountable.i spoke to ford "customer service" on 5/5/11 to report the issue and request financial assistance for the repairs.i was told to take my vehicle to the dealership, pay for the diagnostic test, and have the dealership confirm the "defect".i made a follow-up call to ford "customer service" on 5/9/10 to report that the service manager did confirm the defect and that he had seen similar problems.however, ford said they were not responsible, would not provide financial assistance, and that i was "misinformed" by my initial call to ford in giving me hope they could somehow help me.additionally, they stated that i "should not expect my ford vehicle to last beyond 100k miles".in the meantime, we are responsible for the towing, diagnostic, and repair bills, so the ford service department is profiting from this.this was our fourth ford vehicle, and it will certainly be our last.
Driving on wet roads, front passenger side leak, shorting fuse box. Car lights, turn signals, instrument panels, and radio all go dead. When car is put into park it will not shift back out. Dries out, and all is well again. This is an extreme safety issue.....imagine if you will driving on a highway late at night in traffic only to have all your lights and turn signals go out.
My fuel gauge, car temperature, and speedometer, all of a sudden started reading all over the place. The fuel gauge goes way past the full mark. The temperature gauge goes way past the hot mark. The speedometer always reads 110 mph.
Gauges quit working. Started with speedometer and has grown to include not only the speedometer but also the tachometer and temperature gauge.
Corrosion on the hood, water leaking on pass. Side door, water leaking under the glove box, bissell and gauges not working, speeds up in excessive speed without giving gas,
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that all of the gauges on the instrument panel stopped working and water was leaking under the passengers side floor board. The parking brake also became stuck and the cable needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the technician verified that the water was leaking through the engine compartment but was not able to determine how to repair it. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 10,000 and the current mileage was 110,000.
I was driving at night at around 30mph when everything electrical went dead in my car including headlights and dashboard but the engine was still running. I was able to drive the car home but could not start it the next morning. Had to flat bed it to the dealership where they told me the whole computer system failed and had to be replaced. This happened 3 more time since then. Each time i was charged $3000 to have it replaced. It shouldn't happen once let alone 3 times. Another recent problem, my engine caught fire causing everything on the left side of my car to be replaced. Ford denied any "real problems they could find". Also had my gas tank replaced twice because it wouldn't fill up. And to add to everything, my gearshift needs to be replaced because a little plastic piece that hides the holes when u shift up or down, broke. $600 estimate at ford. As well as my engine smoking after driving for 2 hours at 65-70 mph. Do not buy a ford. Iv'e spent over $12k fixing the problems that i never caused. Ford refused to pay a dime or take any responsibility. Too many problems causing unsafe situations for me as well as other drivers and pedestrians around me.## vin failed ##
My tachometer fail a few years ago. When i took it to the dealer, he said all mustang gauges fail and to be happy it wasn't the speedometer. Slowly over time all the electrical has been having problems. Sometimes the car won't start, all the gauges stop working, the check engine light goes on and off for no reason. Also the driver seat electrical failed, was replaced and failed again. I couldn't afford to have it fixed.
My 2005 ford mustang temperature gauge read hot, into the red warning section.i drove it immediately to auburn ford.they kept the car for 4 hours and told me i needed a new thermostat.i had it replaced.the problem persisted and i went back twice.the ford dealership again said there was no problem and to ignore it.within a month my speedometer failed and said i was traveling at 120 mph when i was going approx. 55 mph.then the instrument gauges started to all give inaccurate information.to not know how fast you are driving, to not know if your car is over heating is dangerous.i have since learned that this problem is happening alot with other 2005 mustangs.why is this not being fixed by ford for free??read "mustang monthly" on the web and see all the people experiencing this pragmatic and dangerous non recall issue.this should be a recall and shame on ford for charging me for something i did not need and the problem should not be ignored.this is my 4th ford but most likely my last!hope you do something about it.
The incident reported below also happened to me.ford replaced the entire instrument cluster at no charge to me.i got in my car an started the engine. I then noticed my fuel gauge and speedometer were not working at all. I have always taken care of my mustang an i think ford should recall the cluster. There's been plenty of 2005 models with very same issue. Please recall the gauge cluster it's the right thing to do for a big name company like ford.
I have a 2005 ford mustang. There seems to be a problem with the panel the rpms do not work,the gas gaugedoesn't work andthe cold to hot gauge does not work. I contacted ford they said there is not any recalls and it my problem. And i needed to have it fixed thought it seems to be a computer system error with the car.to start the rpms would work then not work. I thought well not big deal might work its self out then i noticed when adding gas the gas gauge would spin around like a clock and you could not read it or know when you were running out of gas that is very unsafe to be on the road with out knowing how much gas is in your car. And the low on gas light does not come on to tell you either. Then what failed was he cold to hot gauge. Nothing works on the panel at this time. I cant drive the car feeling safe.everything seems to be some sort of computer problem with the car and ford does not want to step up to the plate and say there is a problem with there car but there is and there refusing to fix it like they told me its not there problem. I told them they need to pay for and fix this problem i didn't build the car they did they refused.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated while driving 50 mph, the speedometer stop working without any warnings. The contact mentioned that the speedometer was reading 0 mph when the driver was traveling approximately 25 mph. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 26,865.
The fuel gauge began to act erratically before ceasing to work altogether. I took the car to fairway ford (placentia, ca) and reported the problem. The service writer dismissed me by saying the repair was too costly and that there was no known universal problem with the 2005 v6 ford mustang. He did not document the problem reported on my service record.i have a colleague with the same year and model who has the same problem.
The speedometer on my 2005 ford mustang is stuck at 0.
Failure of instrument cluster and water leak in passenger side foot well.speedometer non-functioning, fuel indicator non-functioning, and engine temperature gauge non-functioning.provides serious safety hazard without knowing vehicle speed.any substantial rain results in water pooling in passenger side foot area, and saturation of fuse box area, which provides concerns for a vehicle-wide loss of electrical power and brake/steering control.i have looked at several online owners' forums and there are numerous cases of this commonly-documented safety problem, but ford motor company refuses to address it until nhtsa issues a recall.i have called fmc, and they refused to address the issue.
Took my 05 v6 to the dealer because there was a collection of lights on the dash lit up, check engine, brake, oil pressure, traction control, traction control off, low fuel, fuel gauge not working and the turn signal lights on dash didn't work either. This happened after water leaked into my car after a hard rain. Dealership saidsmart junction box got wet due to bad sealant,which caused the leak. However, smart junction box is not covered under warranty and my car only has 65k miles.this is now the third time this has happened due to their mistake.
My instrument cluster does not work and ford needs to have a recall with all the complaints with all the 05 mustang owners.
Driving on highway engine light came on then fuel gauge went to 0 and speedometer down to 10 miles per hour and gauge flickered back up to 35..almost causing an accident not knowing what was happening.past 6 months when fueling my car gas pump keeps kicking off, not sure if it could cause a fire, takes 15 minutes to fuel up.i will never buy a ford again.
Dash board gauge stepper motors are faulty resulting in no speed registered...no coolant temp registered..improper/no fuel level reading...incorrect/no r.p.m. Readings...upon start up, the gauges go ,for lack of better word, crazy..or don't operate at alllots of ford mustang owners are experiencing this issue>>>>dangerous to not know the speed rpm fuel level and coolant temp....could result in accident, vehicle damage...or worse!!ford needs to be advised to recall and fix this issue....
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated while driving 40 mph the speedometer began to show 20 mph. The car was parked and later the it worked as designed. The contact mentioned that the fuel gauge began to register empty although the vehicle had just been refueled. In addition, the left turn signal began to blink at an unusually high rate of speed. The contact believed that the instrument cluster might be defective. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis but offered no assistance. The failure and current mileage was 76,000. The vin was not available.
At about 80,000 miles my tachometer gauge dial stopped working. At about 90,000 miles my temperature gauge dial stopped working. At about 100,000 miles my fuel gauge stopped working.
I was driving on the 407 traveling 110 km per hour. Windows, radio, fan, lights, emergency lights started to fail. The car was losing speed. It broke down on the highway and emergency lights nothing would work. I called 911 because i was scared of getting hit.police came and my car was towed to the ford dealership. They replaced the alternator and battery costing 566.00.a month later the same thing happened. I find out that this is a common problem with ford vehicles, a faulty firewall seal causing water damage to the smart junction box.i found many ford consumers online with the same problem. This is a danger to our highways. Ford is now telling me this will cost 3000.00 to fix, not only is their manufacturer's defect a danger, it is costing consumers thousands of dollars. They have lied to me saying it is caused by a crack in my window.they are trying to cover up a bad defect.
The 2005 to 2009 mustangs (all of them) have a water intrusion problem presented as a design flaw in the engine firewall that leaks water onto the smart junction block causing random electrical systems failure including the loss of engine ignition, loss of all systems, etc. In my case, the intrusion of water caused a sudden and complete loss of all systems. Discovered a day after heavy rain. There are thousands of reports of this on the web and the dealer admits it is a design flaw and known problem.
While driving in light rain, i experienced a total failure of my electrical system, including headlights, door locks, interior lights, radio, trunk release, etc.at that point, all warning indicators lit up on dash.i pulled over, put the car in "park" only to discover that, while the electrical issues continued, i couldn't get the car out of "park".after ~ 10 minutes the electric systems came back online, but the "check engine" light remained on.after taking the car to the dealership, i was told the problem was a water leak.there are numerous posts about this issue online, but the dealership claimed to have never heard of it before and refused to fix it free of charge, despite the fact that it's a manufacturer's defect.this could cause a serious problem if the problem occurs while driving at night, when loss of headlights could have catastrophic consequences.
2005 roush mustang gt sport. Manual transmission. Only 24,000 miles. Collector condition. Instrument cluster issue. Tachometer stopped working. Fuel gauge intermittent. Temperature gauge intermittent. Speedometer still working.
I have had repeated problems with my cd player (shakker 500) i have had six stereos in the car and all six have done the same thing.they will make horrible noises, say bad disk or disk error or nothing at all before it starts spitting out the cd's.if i do not grab the first cd, it will spit out all six.i have had an independent inspection of the car to determine the problem because i do not feel it is the stereo.the inspection states that the voltage is dropping in the car which sends the stereo into an erratic state.ford motor company says that they cannot duplicate the problem so their solution is to keep putting stereo's in the car.i just had a "brand new" stereo installed on april 26, 2006.this was to be ford's final attempt to fix the problem.the stereo went crazy again twice on friday april 28, 2006.i have repeatedly complained about this being a safety issue because i can't keep taking my attention from my driving to catch cd's.i wanta resolution and i am not getting it with ford.i want to know how to go about getting a recall issued on this car stereo/ car/ voltage problem.any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
There is an apparent design flaw in 2005 mustangs as i have read hundreds of similar complaints as to what i am experiencing.due to this design flaw after a recent day of heavy rain 1 headlight and 1 signal light will not turn off once the car has been shut off.i researched and apparently the smart junction box (sjb) got wet and the electrical unit is now malfunctioning.there was also a strong burning smell when i got home that night as well.spoke with an online mechanic technician and he confirmed that the sjb needs to be replaced.there has been a long history of the car leaking on the passenger side whenever it rains due to the design flaw.also my gas gauge never reads properly, inside lights are also dim/off and the check engine light has been going on and off for nearly a year and my mechanic could not diagnose whythe reviews online said when they spoke to ford that admitted that it was a known problem but because there has been no recall that they will not repair this for free.estimates i read put the cost around $1000 to get this fixed and do not want to pay that kind of money especially when ford admits to knowing there is a problem.i am hopeful that we can get ford to do the right thing and issue a recall for this.it is a serious problem since the electrical system can cause a fire from reports i have read.this happened to meet on 12/21/18.i was driving home from work and parked the car and shut it off.as i locked the car i noticed that the drivers side headlight and passenger side signal light stayed on and i had to disconnect the battery to make them shut off.also there was a strong burning odor when i lifted the hood.
The speedometer on my ford saleen mustang 2005 recently has stopped working properly, the needle on the speedometer sits on 10 mph when idling, when i accelerate the needle is off by 10 mph, this is a safety issue, not knowing how fast you are traveling. I have looked up if there are any recalls available through the web and have only found similar issues on forums.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that none of the gauges on the instrument panel were operable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was advised that the instrument cluster needed replacement. In addition, the dealer advised that the stepper motor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage 64,000.
None of the gauges work. I have to drive pacing myself with other vehicles. Only the icon for gas needed comes on when the gas is low. Starting after about 10,000 miles on the car i have had increasing problems getting fuel in the car. Not just myself, but anyone that tries to fuel the car. I initially started holding the fuel nozzle upside down to get gas and that worked for a few years. (although you look like a dumb ass that doesn't know how to put gas in a car!) this last year it has gotten so bad that i am lucky to get 2 gallons in it, and that is with it repeatedly shutting off.since day one the right front wheel makes a grinding/clunking noise when i turn the tire in either direction. It makes me feel like the wheel will fall off. My cars body assembly is also crap. The front lower grill has popped off and disappeared. I have seen several, at least 10 other mustangs of this year missing the same part. The plastic, yes plastic!, screws pop out. The places where the inside seams of the car are supposed to connect are detached. The light enclosure in the trunkwill not stay attached. The seat handles fall off.i only have 50,000 miles on this car. Repair shops tell me to wait for a recall, when is that going to happen?
All the gauges on my 2005 v6 are failing.first, i had problems with the fuel gauge, which i figured was bad gas (sulfur?) a fuel system cleaner seemed to fix that one.then it was the temp.first it read hot, now it's stuck on cold.then the tach and speed got sticky.anyway, i was told by mechanic buddy the many fords mustang 2005 is having gauge problems, and the culprit is the syepper'motor'.ford has heard of the problem but won't do anything about it (no recalls) unless you guys do something about it.my son was stop by the police because of the speedometer was displaying the speed incorrectly.this problems needs to be look at.pleas help.
After a light rain i noticed water dripping into the passenger side kick plate/glove box area.car would not start.had it towed to dealer.started next day and could not replicate problem.next day, same problem.water noticeable in passenger compartment.shook smart junction box and notice water leaking out.car started and stopped when sjb shaken.took to dealer.replaced sjb for $750.month later same issue, this time car shut off while driving on freeway in rain.loss of all control, electrical and power.could not restart.pounded on sjb and eventually started.got it back home.now brakes lights, turn signal, headlights, a/c and display panel not operating.i am surprised that someone has not been killed yet.in trying to solve this issue, it appears that the internet is fully of the same stories.sickening.
Left side of dash cluster ( tach and fuel gauge ) both stopped working. Must replace entire cluster to fix .
The instrument cluster on my mustang began behaving erratically at about the time and mileage notedfor a long time, the speedometer and tachometer would work for 30-45 minutes of driving (less when it was hot outside) then quit, however the gas and temperature gauges worked consistently until a few years later.in 2010 or thereabouts the other gauges quit working.the warning lights still work and the speedometer/tachometer come on feebly for a few minutes when you first start driving the carthe gas and temperature gauges never change at all.i used the low fuel light for the last few years to tell when i needed gas and have had no idea how fast i was going most of the time.apparently this is so common there is a cottage industry providing a rebuild of the instrument cluster for these cars much more cheaply than ford.although my car is far out of warranty (254,000 miles and still running good) i thought it would help to report this issue since it appears to have happened to so many of these cars. Otherwise a great car, bought a 2014 v6 mustang replacement.
The instrument gauges on my 2005 mustang gt started to fail.first the speedometer and then the fuel and temperature gauges.only the tachometer remains functional.this is a serious safety hazard as there is no way to accurately measure how fast your going.this can be a big issue on rain soaked, icy or otherwise hazardous highways where knowing your speed is crucial to safe operation of your vehicle.ford is obviously not standing behind their product and will not fix the problem without a recall, unless i pay up 1,000 dollars...then wait for the same thing to occur again.nhtsa has the power to issue the recall if safety is an issue.how can it not be?how many have to be maimed or injured before you issue the recall and demand that ford fix this problem?
Water got to fuse box made headlights go off and flooded passenger side of car.
Dt:2005 ford mustang gt -had anelectrical system problem which resulted in a crash.while turning off of the highway into a residential area the transmission malfunctioned causing uncontrollable acceleration.the brakes were appliedbut the vehicle continued to accelerate. The front brakes did not stop the vehicle.the vehicle went into a clock wise spin.the car turned onto the driver's side and then hit a tree.what happened next was that the electrical system was still acting strange, the trunk opened andtryingto closeit back down the lights came off and on. The door locks would lock and unlock by themselves. The vehicle had $6,300 worth of damage. The dealership didnot assist the consumerwith anything.the vehicle was purchased on august 29, 2005 as a new vehicle which only had 72 miles on it. Upon impact the airbags did not deploy and the fuel cut off switch did not activate.a police report was taken.*mr
Speedometer began working erratically at around 33,000 miles.speedometer needle would hover at 20mph when in idle and would jump up to 80mph and then work sometimes, other times it would stay at zero. Have not noticed any changes due to weather (rain or temperature).compared speedometer reading with gps speed and found inconsistencies of up to 10 mph when the speedometer did work.speedometer complete failure at 33,500 miles.temperature gauge failed at same time.i'm concerned about not knowing how fast i am going.i drive "pacing" traffic which still is not safe.multiple incidents of instrument cluster failures reported on several ford mustang forums by current owners.fords solution is a new instrument cluster which costs about $700.apparently the problem is with the failing stepper motors that drive the gauges.this should be a recall item as it does present a serious & potentially deadly situation in not knowing what the car's actual speed is.instrument clusters usually don't fail much less at 33,000 miles!there is clearly a design flaw, please issue a recall on this item!
Was driving down the highway dec 23, 2008 when the entire electrical system on my 2005 ford mustang with 25,000 miles on it went completely dead. I purchased this slightly used mustang at a chrysler dealersix months ago and i purchased a top of the line extended warr, for $2000.00 when the vehicle was taken to the ford dealership my top of the line extended warr. Did not cover the repairs due to the problem being a known factory defect. Ford motor company was no help with the problem also due to the car being slightly over the 3 year warr but not over the 36,000 mile warr. I have done some research since then on the matter and found this problem is a big problem with ford . The internet is loaded with complaints from consumers with this exact same problem as mine. I would imagine driving down the highway at 65 miles per hr could be a catastrophe after losing all electrical power. Ford has a tsb number for this problem, it is tsb 07-14-6. Theproblem is water is entering the cowl area on the front of car and getting to the electrical system and shorting the system out. To make things worse, after all denied response to fix factory defect, they handed me a bill for $508.00 to trouble shoot problem when i specifically told the dealership there was a tsb notice on this problem and the problem was that of the tsb 07-14-6. This is no way fair and something has to be done.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated the speedometer failed to function and does not register the correct mph while driving. The speedometer would only display the maximum speed or zero. The dealer stated that the contact would be responsible for paying $100 for a diagnostic test and $600 if the speed cluster needed to be replaced. The repairs were covered by a recall or warranty. The manufacturer stated there were no recalls and offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired.the failure mileage was 36,550.
The first thing to happen around june of 2011 was my gas gauge dropped to empty and the low fuel light came on when in fact i had a full tank. This started doing it every so often and now does it on a daily occurrence. The next thing approx. A month later my tach started acting strange and is now stuck in one position and has been that way for about 6 months. Starting last september the speedometer would drop down to 0 while driving, sometimes it shows going 20 or 25 miles per hour when in fact i am probably doing 55 or 60. This is very distressing as i love my mustang and bought it brand new in december 2004. It now has a little over 70000 miles and i am seeing where others have this same problem. This is not a fluke but sounds like a defect on these mustangs. It is not a cheap fix and ford needs to step up to the plate and a recall needs to be done. This is a safety hazard that needs to be repaired.
Instrument cluster: the rpm and temp gauges do not work. First the rpm gauge stopped working and 1 year later the temp gauge started jumping around to cold and then hot. I have had to pull over to check the engine numerous times and the engine was not hot. Now the temp gauge does not work at all and the gauge points downward as the rpm gauge. This is dangerous. I'm worried the engine may overheat and i will have no indication. I see there are many other 2005 mustang owners with the same problem. There should be a recall on this.
All of my gauges started to read improperly or not at all, speedometer, oil pressure, gas, battery, coolant temp, rpm. They didn't all go at the same time.it has gotten progressively worse. Not knowing how fast i am going is a major safety hazard! i am surprised that this has not already had a recall issued viewing all the problems with this make, model and year with the same problem.
I filled up the gas tank and the fuel gauge needle registered past the full level and now is giving erratic readings. The temperature gauge has quit working with needle pointing to the floor.
The engine cluster for my 2005 mustang is malfunctioning.the rpm gauge is not operating properly.i was told by a ford dealer that this was a common malfunction.
My fuel gauge on vehicle has quit working and says i have no gas when i have just filled up, the speedometer also goes erratic and says i'm going 120 when actually going much slower, the cold hot gauge either reads hot, regardless of if i just started the car or if its been running for an hour.
Entire gauge cluster is now inoperable. First thing to stop working was fuel gauge, needle stuck around 1/8th tank. Low fuel lamp indicator still works and is only way to know when low on fuel. Around same time speedometer needle started sticking at random points, more noticeable as weather got cooler. Would go up with acceleration but not all the way back down when braking. Needle is now stuck all the way cw on trip reset button. Odometer still works correctly.then same with tachometer a few months later.finally quit looking at gauge cluster while driving, not really sure when coolant temperature gauge got stuck and quit working. Have seen many complaints of the same problem. Ford seemed to fix the problem in the next year model, but still refuse any sensible solution for affected vehicles in 2005.to have issue fixed by ford: $660 for new instrument cluster + labor.
Speedometer and gauges not working correctly.
When stopped suddenly the car will remain idle for about 30 seconds before it will kick back into gear. When this happens, car will roll backwards in drive. If you try to press the gas to force the car to move it will stall completely. Car has been doing it since 2007.ford dealership could not find anything wrong with it.car currently has 44,000 miles on it.also gas, temp and speedometer gauges have started going crazy the last three weeks.
On september 1, 2010, the gas gauge on the vehicle failed - reading more than full, and other various irregular readings. Repaired for $75, then failed again next day. Have not repaired again as dealer estimates cost at $1500 due to multiple failures according to their tests. Gas light still works when fuel is very low. On november 1, 2010, the speedometer failed - reading 80 mph when vehicle is stopped. Have not repaired, using gps to estimate speed.i contacted ford about these issues as they seem very common with this model & year vehicle by a quick search online. They advised that i should just get it fixed at the closest dealership. Given the frequency of this failure i feel they should be responsible as the original parts must be faulty given the number of people posting the same issues online. Ford advised that your agency was the only one that could order a recall. I would think that knowing how much gas you have or knowing how fast you are going are valid safety issues that ford should be required to fix at their expense.
Speedometer on my 2005 ford mustang does not work properly. Itstuck and does not move. Other owners of 05 mustang v6 have this same problem as well as malfunctions with other gauges. It is a huge safety issue when gauges don't work properly. This is not an isolated malfunction, as it is problematic in so many 05 mustangs.
I have an 05 mustang, automatic, v6 it has about 65,000 miles.i like everyone else am having problems with the gauges and the car stalling for no reason.i noticed no one has been killed yet so i guess that is what ford is waiting on before doing a recall.this is crazy.someone should make them take a look at what is happening with this vehicle and issue a recall.
Speedometer works intermittently.sometimes does not register speed at all.i consider this to be a dangerous situation. This apparently has happened to many 2005 mustangs.ford should be required to repair free of charge.
It had rained in the day, but was not raining at the time. Turned the a/c on as the glasses were foggy. Dashboard warning system went off with all kinds of warnings. All electrical components including lights, radio, locks failed while the car was being driven. The engine was running ok. Drove home as it was during the day. Found water in the fuel cutoff switch on drivers side and on the floor on passenger side near the fuse box. Used paper towels to dry both. Did not help. Left the car for an hour or so and then it was working fine. Could have been a major safety issue if it happened at night. Car has been running fine since.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang gt. The contact was driving 40 mph in heavy rain when the entire electrical system failed without warning, including the lights and dashboard gauges. The contact continued to drive with caution to a nearby service station. The engine was turned off and restarted after five minutes. The vehicle resumed normal operation until the failure recurred within twelve miles. The dealer was notified and informed the contact that the failure would be difficult to diagnose since the vehicle was operating properly. The failure mileage was approximately 66,200.updated 01/14/11 updated 03/28/11
My 2005 v6 mustang gauge cluster is erratic. Tach fluctuates between not working at all and reading 1000 rpm low. Gas gauge has spun past full and points toward the floor. Temp gauge same as gas gauge. Speedometer intermittently works fine, reads incorrectly or doesn't work at all.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that the instrument cluster malfunctioned and the gauges were no longer operable.the contact called the manufacturer and was advised that the entire instrument cluster needed to be replaced.the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 88,000.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact attempted to start the vehicle but it would not start.the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the mechanic stated that water had damaged the electrical system and the computer system, which would need replacing.the contact had previously noticed water leaking from under the passenger side seat onto the passenger's feet. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 81,536.
Back in 2011 my thermo gauge showed car was over heating when it was not.i had vehicle looked at and there was no indication that car was running hot. This would happen occassionally not an everyday occurance.then this past winter it started it again and then my speedometer started showing that i was traveling at high rates of speed or would not work at all. The same thing happens with the gas gauge it works when it wants to.after doing some research i found out that i am not the only one with these problems.it seems to happen in states where weather becomes extremely cold and then when it warms back up everything works. This should be a recall.
Speedometer stuck below 0.
Fuel gauge reading past empty,will not show any change in fuel level.other gauges showing same signs of failing.internet has many companies that will fix the gauge cluster, so it must be a common problem with mustangs.also the led daytime lighting on the dashboard gauges is very low not able to read the speedometer or other gauges.
The speedometer gauge is stuck around 100 mph when the car is not moving. The gauge then moves from that point once the car is in motion.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact was driving 25 mph when the speedometer malfunctioned.the contact called the manufacturer and the manufacturer took a complaint from the contact but did not provide any assistance regarding the instrument cluster. The dealer advised to bring the vehicle in for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was concerned because he was not aware of what speed he was traveling and believed the manufacturer should be liable for the repairs due to the numerous complaints he discovered online in regards to the failure. The failure mileage was 75,000.
Since about a year ago, november 2013, this vehicle has shown multiple issues. To start, it is an automatic 05 mustang which, the more i read online, the more that i seem to find that many have these exact same or very similar issues. Initially the dash cluster (everything besides the tachometer) was not functioning properly. The speedometer would get stuck at 20 mph but still move acting as though the 20 mph was the 0 mph mark (so 35 mph = 15 mph). More recently the gas gauge has stopped working, it sits at empty even after plenty of gas has been put into it. The temperature gauge also gets stuck often, still moving as the speedometer does. Not too long after these issues started occurring, when i went to fill up the gas tank it wouldn't take the gas as it normally would. Sometimes only a couple dollars worth would be in before it clicked off. After paying closer attention i have also noticed sometimes gas actually splashes out when filling it up even though it is definitely not full. Much more recently the vehicle hasworrying issues. At one point while driving on the freeway at 70 mph the vehicle suddenly started to decelerate on its own, even while i was pressing on the gas pedal. I pulled it off to the side, shut it off completely, started it up and it was as though nothing happened. Ever since that incident though it has been running a bit louder and now it seems a possible misfire is happening with one of the cylinders occasionally. The vehicle has a delayed and very hard shift from third to fourth gear. It is not as though the vehicle has not been taken care of, and for a 2005 the mileage is pretty low still. At least one or two of these issues seem to be a safety concern, and it is very obvious after researching online that these issues are prevalent in tons of these exact same vehicles.
2005 ford mustang - instrument cluster failure.the speedometer gauge shorted out, heat gauge improper reading, and tach stuck.concern of an electrical fire.in reading more information, many 2005 ford mustangs have this problem that can cost up to $800.ford should recall.
The temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and speedometer began malfunctioning.now if car gets hot the fuel and temperature gauges cease to operate and the speedometer fluxuates between not working to being somewhere between 0 and 30 mph to fast or slow.ford said it wasn't a warranty repair and i received two estimates between $500 and $700 to repair the problem.looking at the various ford mustang forum sites i have observed hundreds of owner's with the same problem for the 2005-2009 mustang.as this is my wife's car, and i don't have the funds right now we have had to park the car since it is too dangerous to drive not knowing the car speed, if it is over heating, or running out of fuel.
Speedometer erratically displays wrong speed. When parked, the speedometer sometimes over 25 mph.while driving approximately 30 mph, the speedometer reads over 80 mph.
Driving on wet roads, front passenger side leak, shorting fuse box.car lights, turn signals, instrument panels, and radio all go dead. When car is put into park it will not shift back out. Dries out, and all is well again.this is an extreme safety issue.....imagine if you will driving on a highway late at night in traffic only to have all your lights and turn signals go out.
Speedometer at times sticks or shows the incorrect speed.even sitting idle the speedometer will show 5 miles an hour or even 20 mph.it's extremely inconsistent, so determining the correct speed is difficult to do.the speed will display both, higher than actual speed and lower than actual speed without ryhme or reason.additionally the needle moves in a sporadic behavior, like a second hand tic on a clock, rather than a smooth consistent flow.the tachometer appears to also be affected although it's much less noticeable.
Ever since i got my mustang the fuel gauge was acting up and would sometimes give me a correct reading but most of the time it just sits at empty even after refueling.then just recently i started driving into work when i noticed that my speedometer said i was doing about 100 mph on city streets and confirmed it was inaccurate when i came to a stoplight and came to a complete stop but the speedometer read 50 mph.when i got to work i stopped the engine and started it back up and i had to repeat this process 7-8 times to get it to reset back to 0 mph this was the first time that occurred since i got it.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that the tail lights would go out on an intermittent basis. Also, the cluster panel was completely inoperable. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic and they confirmed that the cluster had failed and would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. While driving approximately 50 mph, the instrument cluster stopped working. The contact stated that each gauge failed separately. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for repair. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
Complete lighting failure while traveling at night. While driving home all of my lights began to flicker then completely failed, no headlights tail lights dash ( seemed to be a complete electrical failure ) initially thought engine had quit but no it was still running. I did get an engine code indicator light on the dash. Once pulled over i checked the battery cables both were tight still no lights in the process i had put the car in park, transmission locked in park. After a short while lights came back on . Everything seemed normal so i resumedmy attempt to reach home however a few miles down the road it did it again. Next day i took the vehicle into the dealership where they told me they had to reprogram the computer. Vehicle so far has operated fine so far. Not sure if the problem was related to the chips in the keys or the anti theft system however if this had occurred on a remote road or highway it could very well have caused an accident. I had no electrical period including the emergency flashers. The battery , alternator , and fuses were all functional.
First the gas gauge hand would stay on empty even when filling up or it would go straight down way past the full mark. Never know how much gas i have. Now the speedometer is not working properly. It will either stay at 0mph while i'm driving or say i'm going 20-30mph when the car is shut off and not even running. At times it says i'm going 110mph when i'm driving through town which is a 35mph and clearly i am not driving 110mph. I find this to be a great hazard to other drivers since i never know how fast i'm going. After doing internet research it seems many mustang owners have this same issue. I feel that having a defective speedometer is a safety hazard that needs to be addressed if safety is really important to the nhtsa.
While driving in the evening the engine temperature and fuel gauges failed.the temperature gauge gradually kept climbing higher above the red line.an inspection of the engine compartment reveled that the engine was operating at normal temperatures.the fuel gauge also started registering incorrect reading; gradually moving past the full line even though no fuel was added.starting and stopping the engine caused the fuel gauges and temperature gauges to turn clockwise (or higher).both gauges currently point down and are effectively useless.the repair shop in researching how to replace or repair the component and how much the part will cost.the failed components appear to be linked to the vehicle's speedometer.
There is an electrical problem. First 1 blinker started blinking fast(all lights were good), then it stopped, then the other blinker started, then stopped. Next the window would not auto close when the door was opened and closed letting water in when it rained. Then that stopped. Next both blinkers started blinking fast. I was told by the dealer that the extended warranty i bought does not cover finding the problem.
The instrument cluster on my 2005 mustang is failing. The rpm (tach) does not work at all. My temperature gauge does not work at all. My speedometer is starting to fail. I have researched and found this is a common problem w/ the 2005 mustangs, yet there is no recall. If my car overheats, i will never know it. When my speedometer finally fails, i will not know how fast i am going.
Speedometer gauge failure. The speedometer gave progressively more inconsistent readings until it finally settled below the 0 line and now does not move at all. The battery light also flickers randomly, although no problems were found with multiple batteries or the alternator. The light comes on even when battery testers are showing it having a correct charge. It appears to be a problem with the instrument panel.
Water leak in passenger side kick panel ford knew of water leak issue when vehicle was manufactured. I had about an inch of water on my passenger floorboard after a storm. Also rear brakes stick after using emergency brake.if i ever have to use my e-brake in an emergency the rear wheels will lock up and be even more of a hazard and danger. Both these issues are very safety related. Searching the internet you will find literally hundreds if not thousands of complaints about this water leak and e-brake damage issue. Please do something about this. I am currently thinking of suing ford for the water leak and the fact that the technician at the dealership admitted this is a known ford problem but not enough people have complained for them to care...
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.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. While driving approximately 65-75 mph, speedometer displayed an abnormal reading of 20 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the dealer advised that the instrument cluster would need replacing. The vehicle was not repaired. He called the manufacturer and was advised that there was a national back order for the part needed to repair the instrument cluster. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure and current mileages were 48,000.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that the instrument panel failed. The fuel gauge would read empty when the vehicle was full of gasoline. In addition, the speedometer and the oil level gauge failed. The contact took the vehicle to a mechanic for inspection and they informed him that the speedometer cables needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the problem was common for all 2005 ford mustangs. The failure mileage was 75,000.
The speedometer constantly malfunctions, which makes it impossible to know what speed you are traveling. The speedometer will either stick at zero or be 10 to 15 mph off. This is common problem based on personal experience with many other 2005 mustang v6 drivers. The problem requires the entire instrument panel to be replaced (~$500-800), and ford continues to give us all the run-around. A simple search online also returns numerous postings about this problem. Not knowing the speed in which you are traveling is a very unsafe driving condition. Please look into this matter promptly and issue a recall. Thanks for your help on this matter.
Gauge cluster bad. Don't know how fast i am going.the rest of the gauges do not work so i don't know temp,voltage,gas,oil pressure or tech. They need a recall i did not give 30,000 for a car with problems. They want 700 to fix it but everyone with a 05-06 model has this problem.
I just bought a used 2005 ford mustang and was told by seller that my rpm , temp, gas, and speed gauges didnot work because ford installed failing stepper motors in the instrument cluster which control the movement of the gauges.i looked it up on line and it is very clear that these parts are defective.there are multiple companies advertising to fix the problem.ifi run out of gas or am driving too fast due to faulty readings bad things can happen. Ford needs to fix these gauges for free, since they are defective.read more: http://forums.mustangmonthly.com/70/7581455/2005-2010-mustangs/speedometer-erratic-2005-mustang-v6/page3.html#ixzz1nyqzh0mb.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. While driving approximately 60 mph the temperature gauge for the oil read 195 degrees even though the vehicle was running hot and began to smoke. The contact drove onto the emergency lane and waited for the vehicle to cool down. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for a diagnostic test and to be repaired. The dealer stated that the contact would be responsible for paying to have the instrument panel replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the contact stated that the instrument panel was still defective.the approximate failure mileage was 2,500 and the approximate current mileage was 3,064.
I've a ford mustang 2005 v6 [coup] with 66,000 miles on it. Few months back, i was driving and suddenly realized that the speedometer gauge jumped to 120 mph even when the car is stationary. Of late, my temperature gauge is also giving erratic readings.. This is a problem which seems to be inherent in the car itself since this has been reported in umpteenth internet forums particularly for ford mustang 2005v6. Would request you to consider a recall for this issue. Thanks.
First the speedometer stopped working or would hang up, then the fuel gauge stopped working and now all the gauges have stopped working.
Speedometer at times sticks or shows the incorrect speed.even sitting idle the speedometer will show 5 miles an hour or even 20 mph.it's extremely inconsistent, so determining the correct speed is difficult to do.the speed will display both, higher than actual speed and lower than actual speed without ryhme or reason.additionally the needle moves in a sporadic behavior, like a second hand tic on a clock, rather than a smooth consistent flow.the tachometer appears to also be affected although it's much less noticeable.
Cluster gauge on my 2005 mustang is reading 70mph at all times. Even when the car is off.
I got in my car an started the engine. I then noticed my fuel gauge and speedometer were not working at all. I have always taken care of my mustang an i think ford should recall the cluster. There's been plenty of 2005models with very same issue. Please recall the gauge cluster it's the right thing to do for a big name company like ford.
Initially, the tachometer stopped working unsure of the date, early 2009.5-speed.replaced a fuse thinking that was the problem but it didn't fix the problem.in september 2009, while on the highway for about 45 minutes heading out for the weekend, the temperature gauge indicates the car is hot.we pull over and check under the hood; no smoke, no leaks, no smell, everything seems normal.we decide to return to our house, park the car until we get back to further investigate.the gauge continued to move hotter so we ran the heater all the way home.upon our return from the weekend trip, we started the car and the gauge automatically went to hot.a search on the internet came back with many others with the same year/model and the same problem and indicated that the dealers were saying that it was a bad instrument/cluster panel that would have to be replaced and that the other gauges would also stop operating.cost to repair about $1000 and mileage would have to be certified.we continued to use the car without any heating up problems although the gauge indicated otherwise.recently, the speedometer has started going bad as well.sometimes it tells you speed and sometimes it doesn't.only thing working right now is the fuel gauge and don't know for how long.mileage is under 25k.
Speedometer does not work accurately, either moves erratically, or not at all.
Speedometer erratic, inaccurate. Often inoperable. Occasionally works in ambient temperatures above 60 degrees f. Erratic/inoperable condition is more pronounced as ambient temperature drops below 60 degrees f. Replaced sensor assembly - engine speed, part #xw4z-7h103-aa. Problem persists.
I first started having an issue with the temp gauge not working. Now when it is cold outside my speedometer and rpm meter are not functioning until the car is warm enough. This first happened in feb 2010 but just one time. The first time it happened it was cold out and my speedometer went from 0 to 120 while stopped at a light then it stuck there and did not fix itself till the last part of that day. Now it is happening again each time it is cold out the speedometer just stays below zero and so does the rpm until i drive for 5 miles or so. It seems to only be happening when it is cold out about 65 and below weather. Temp gauge still not working and has been pointing at the bottom of the cluster since then. It still moves like it wants to work but never goes back to normal. Ford says its the instrument cluster but i am a single mother and can not afford to pay 700 to 1000 dollars to fix what i think should be a defect because i have seen a lot of people online posting about the same issue and they are all the 2005 models. Someone help please. I love my car so much. I have had it for 5 years now and still love it. Thanks.
I was driving home.the road was wet.because of this, i relied on my speedometer to make sure i am going a bit slower than my speed limit.i did not noticed until i had to hit my brakes to avoid a stray dog. My car skidded; i was going faster than what the gauge was saying (which is lower than actual speed) since i had to stop abruptly, another car rear-ended me.ever since then, the gauge is all over the place, below 0 above one hundred...this could have cost another life, if not mine.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. He stated that the speed odometer only works after the vehicle is turned on and off. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer but it wasnot repaired due to the cost of the repair.the failure mileage was 75,000.the current mileage was 92,000. Updated 6/17/10 the consumer stated the speedometer was defective. Sometimes it worked when the engine was warm, but it stayed at zero until then.sometimes, it would work after an hour of driving. The consumer stated a new instrument panel is needed.updated 06/18/10.
My speedometer gauge is not working properly. When in high enough heat or low enough cold, the speedometer jumps from 10 to 40 or all the way to 120mph when the car is not even moving. This is dangerous! i may be on the highway thinking i'm going 50 when in reality i'm going slower or faster!
Speedometer gauge does not work it started to get stuck now it does not work. To my consideration it is dangerous not to know the speed you are going. Also the fuel gauge is not working.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that the speedometer failed to provide accurate speed readings while traveling 55 mph. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 57,000 and the current mileage was 58,000....updated 10/19/12 the consumer stated none of the gauges on the instrument panel worked. The speedometer would read over 120 mph. The tachometer moved sometimes and the fuel gauge worked sporadically. Updated 10/25/12
I was told that these items, the fuel gauge, tachometer parts of the instrument cluster are faulty in most 2005 mustangs.there have been so many problems that ford changed it for 2006 models.i was further informed that if enough owners complained that a recall would be activated.hopefully i'll be hearing from you and or ford motor company.thank you.
I stopped at a rest stop on the pennsylvania turnpike and after restarting the car the temp gauge went all the way past hot but the engine was at normal temp.after the next three starts the gauge needle is past all readings and essentially pointing toward the bottom of the temp gauge, at nothing.i cannot tell if the engine is hot or cold or in the normal range.
Speedometer needle moves with speed increase, but does not reverse motion with speed decrease.
The issue with the vehicle is the instrument panel. At first the temperature gauge failed to work and the needle showed the temperature cold regardless of how long the car was running. Next thefuel gauge failed, it would work erratically and show fuel for days or completely go in 360 rotations until it finally stopped working all together. And recently, the speedometer gave and remains stuck at 30 mphs even at idle. I've been able to live with the temperature gauge not working, and have been keeping track of mileage to determine my fuel remaining, however, i do not have an alternative to judge my speed. I will unfortunately have to replace this part.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. When the vehicle was started, the speedometer, tachometer,fuel gauge, and temperature gauge failed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 84,000. Updated 03/09/16*lj
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that the entire instrument panel failed. The contact could not determine at which speed they were traveling or the amount of gasoline fuel that was in the fuel tank.

Speedometer erratic - shows miles per hour way out of range of actual mph - i.e. Shows 120 miles per hour or even beyond while only going about 30; can zero out if in park and shut off and restart engine, slowly resets 5 mph each time off and on again - taking a lot of turning off and on to zero back out.have read and heard of many, many other 2005 mustang owners having same complaint - must be recalled by now?
I have a 2005 ford mustang that the speedometer and odometer are not working.i have contacted ford motor company and they said that they have not had enough complaints to warrant a recall.apparently, they have not googled 2005 ford mustang instrument cluster and read all of the problems from other mustang owners.i am in the process of getting problem fixed but i am very dissatisfied with the service that i am receiving from battlefield ford and ford motor co.
The gauges on the 2005 mustang are faulty.it affects all gauges but the speedometer being the most important.the speedometer may read higher or lower than the actual speed you're going.this makes it a definite safety issue if your car is going faster than you think it is.this should be a recall!!!
My speedometer is very erratic especially during the cold months. When cold, the speedometer usually reads zero or other times it reads that i am doing 100+ mph when barely moving. When the weather is warm i have no problems at all. I feel that this is very unsafe driving without a properly functioning speedometer. I have read many online forums and this seems to be a very common problem with the 2005 mustang.please please please help us 2005 ford mustang owners and issue a recall on this problem.
Recently purchased 2005 ford mustang and was told upon sale that there was a problem with the fuel gauge.i figured it would be easy enough to fix so wasn't really concerned.now a week later i noticed the speedometer doesn't work as well.it sticks on 15 mph for periods of time or then will show at least 15 - 30 mph faster than i am actually going.i searched online for a fix and found thousands of threads of individuals with the exact same issue and even copies of letters sent to owner stating that there wasn't a recall because it's not a safety concern.i bought this car for my daughter.running out of gas late at night because her fuel gauge is broken is a safety issue.sure can she write down mileage every time she gets gas, yes.but after reading so many comments by so many people it seems as if this issue should be resolved by ford. Seems to be isolated on the 2005 only.in addition not know your speed limit is also a safety concern and also a financial concern should you get pulled over having no idea how fast you are driving.its seems as if the entire cluster of gauges are faulty and need to be addressed.your response or help in getting ford to rectify is greatly appreciated.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that instrument cluster failed as none of the gauges on the instrument panel illuminated or functioned at all. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed that the cluster was not functioning and needed to be replaced. The contact called the manufacturer and was told that there were no recalls or warranties for the failure. The current and failure mileages were approximately 60,000.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that the speedometer and fuel gauge malfunctioned. As a result, the contact was unable to read the level of fuel or the speed being traveled.

The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 50,000 and the current mileage was 87,000. Updated 09/25/13*ljupdated 9/27/2013
My speedometer has become erratic where it will stick at random intervals and doesn't report the speed correctly anymore. This makes it hazardous to operate and difficult to remain within legal speed limits.
Went to start my car and noticed the speedometer was sitting on 20mph.up to this point, it had no problems.i tried to reset according to manufacturer instructions with no success.a few days later it had moved up to 80mph. After a few more trips and several attempts to reset the speedometer, it finally dropped back down to 0.however, less than a month later, i have noticed it moving back up.up to this point i have not replaced any parts as it is unknown what part is not causing the issue.
Speedometer and rpm would jump around then it just stopped working then my temp gauge went all the way past h and its stuck there.
The instrument cluster on my 2005 ford mustang has a shortage or is defective.based on internet research and a discussion with an authorized ford dealership and my long time auto mechanic, this is a part that should not fail at 73,000 miles. While ford has not issued a recall, there is an obvious manufacture defect, as there have been numerous complaints and issues reported.when a gauge (fuel, temperature, battery, etc) fails on this vehicle, the entire instrument cluster must be replaced.this is a costly part and service fee (over $900) for something that should not be defective or have issues with a car of this age. When the instrument cluster signals an issue to the internal computer, the vehicle may go into a "fail safe mode" and the car will not operate.ford needs to issue a recall for this part and replace it at no cost to the owner.
The instrument panel in my 05 mustang has completely failed.in 2008, the gauges would become erratic at times. (tach, speedometer, etc) this has become more problematic over the last couple of years usually only occurring in colder weather. At this point, the gauges have completely failed. Case in point: during the summer of 2011 the car "actually" overheated due to a cracked thermostat housing and the gauge never displayed the issue before the failure. We were fortunate to have picked up on the issue (while driving the car at highway speed) before a fire or other unfortunate event occurred.... Or before the car was permanently damaged. When i've consulted with the local ford dealer ship,(cookeville, tn) they act as if this the instrument panel failure is something new. This issue is posted on every major mustang forum or support site. Heck, there are even businesses on the "web" that advertise their ability to replace the "stepper motors" that control the gauge functions. Apparently the stepper motors that ford opted to use in their instrument panels are the cause of the issue.furthermore i receive customer complaint updates via the carfax web portal monthly. Each update contains dozens of new reports with this problem. So.....the excuse that ford doesn't know anything about this issue..... Doesn't hold water.if ford wants to offshore its components to 3rd world countries for cheaper labor and parts..... Fine. The least they could do is stand behind their products when / if they fail. After all, they should have extra $$$ in the coffers from the savings of offshoring their components.any help you fellas could provide in pressuring ford to step up and take care of their problem would be greatly appreciated.
My 2005 mustang rpm gauge has quit working. After researching online of this issue i found that this is a known issue with mustangs. Can you please let me know who i need to contact to get this item under a recall item that mandates ford to fix the issue.
Gas gauge erratic. Then failed last august. Ford says must replace entire cluster at cost of $450-650 plus labor this seems to be a common problem on this model. Only 45000 miles on this car. Cost seems excessive. What is ford doing to back this up? updated 06/10/13
I'm writing to you about my 2005 ford mustang and the issue with it's instrument cluster.this is a widespread problem with this make and model of car, just search "2005 mustang instrument cluster" on google and you'll see what i mean.evidently the motors in these clusters, which operate your instrument dial needles, fail regularly.my car is a 2005, with 55,000 miles on it.serviced regularly and well cared for. First, my tach started malfunctioning.i figured it was cold, and it only did it sporadically, so i lived with it.however, two months after the tach started acting up, the speedometer started malfunctioning as well. I did not feel it would be safe to ignore that.so i contacted my local ford dealership, described the problem on the phone, and the first thing the service person said was "it's the instrument cluster most likely.$500-800 to repair.when i got home,i started researching, initially just to see if i could find the part cheaper.the google search i did pulled up entire forums dedicated to this problem.that's when i went from resigned to mad.ford is putting the onus on the nhtsa to initiate a recall.and they said you won't do it if safety is not effected.well i don't know about you, but me and i'm sure every state trooper on the planet, would consider a malfunctioning speedometer to be a safety issue. And with the economy as it is, and ford charging $500-$800 to repair what they already know is a faulty system, a lot of people are not going to have it fixed.and take that 25 mph curve at 35 or 40 instead.that's not only going to be illegal....it's also dangerous. We were advised on the forum to write both ford and the nhtsa.i have now written both.surely one of you will do the right thing.
2005 ford mustang coup v6 -instrument cluster failure - headlight failure -turn signal failure - false information via digital instrument display - door lock failure - radio failure.indications of failure began in january 2010 with speedometer failure.in the fall of 2010, the charging system gauge failed but in-car system check reported all was normal.during the summer, speedometer returned to normal operations.winter of 2010, speedometer failed again.end of january during warm weather, speedometer return to normal operation.february 1, speedometer fails again.february 2, ticking sound from behind the instrument cluster is noticed when ignition is turned off and speedometer fails.on february 4, 2011, entire instrument cluster failed, on board diagnostics reported traction control failure, low brake fluid, low oil pressure, parking brake on, low fuel warning, seatbelt warning, abs warning.at the same time, the power locks failed, power windows failed, security system failed, service light illuminated, interior lights failed, and radio failed, and windshield wiper fails.all these failures/incidents happen in cold weather only.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. While driving at 60 mph,the instrumental panel gauges failed and became inoperable. In addition, when accelerating the vehicle would abnormally accelerate at a rapid pace. The dealer advised there was an electronic sensor that would potentially need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired or diagnosed for the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 58,000 and the current mileage was 72,000.
Was driving the car and the gas gauge started acting weird. Stopped and filled up the car and after starting the car the gauge went all the way past 'e'. Shortly after that the speedometer started sticking. I could be at a stop light and it would show i was going 20 mph. Usually turning the car off and back on would get the speedometer to go down. The higher the speed said the more you had to turn it off and on since it only went down a little at a time. Now the gauge is stuck at 80 mph and doesn't move at all. The tachometer is also messing up now. It will vary from being too low to being too high to being just right.
Speedometer not working correctly. Go anywhere from 20 to 80 mph over traveled speed. Even when sitting it sticks at 20-80 mph.

The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang.while driving between 50-55 mph in rainy weather conditions at night, the entire instrument panel and exterior lighting failed without warning.in addition, the front passenger side floor area and fuse panel exhibited water leakage.there was extremely poor night visibility due to the failures.the vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road.the contact heard a clicking noise coming from the instrument panel before it and the exterior lighting resumed operation.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, but a diagnostic was not performed due to the cost.the vehicle has not been repaired.the vehicle was not accepted by the system.the failure mileage was 38,000 and current mileage was 50,000. Updated 5/26/09 the consumer stated the speedometer, tachometer and fuel gauge were inoperative. Updated 05/28/09.
The speedometer began to malfunction on my mustang last winter. Some days it would work fine, other days the needle would not move at all, and on other days it would read a speed that was below what i believe i was driving based on the other vehicles traveling around me and my experience driving my car. The speedometer was mostly fine over the summer, except on a couple of occasions where my speedometer was reading 10-15 mph under what i was driving (at least what i think i was driving based on other vehicles on the road). I am not sure what caused it, but i would stop on a long road trip and when i got in and restarted my car the speedometer would be reading incorrectly.now that the weather has turned cold again for fall my speedometer and now my tachometer have quit working properly. They speedometer hardly ever works correctly now. Mostly, the speedometer needle doesn't move and when it does it is showing a speed below what i am driving. As for the tachometer, it now longer works correctly as it is currently pointing at 6:00 o'clock. The needle still moves, but it is not reading anything when its starting position is at 6:00 o'clock.
I was driving over a bridge and looked down and my speedometer said that i was going 120 mph.i was only traveling approximately 65 mph. I pulled into a restaurant parking lot and continued to turn the car on and off.each time the speedometer went down 10 mph until i finally got it to 0.i turned around and drove home, but the speedometer kept sticking at around 40 to 60 mph.i have read online at http://forums.mustangmonthly.com/70/7581455/2005-2010-mustangs/speedometer-erratic-2005-mustang-v6/page2.html that several other people have been having the same issue since 2009.my car is currently at a shop and they are ordering the part from the dealer to fix it.they said the same thing everyone online said, "it's the instrument cluster."if so many people have had this issue since 2009, why was it never recalled?
Safety issue: speedometer reads as much as 60 mph off of true speed. When at a dead stop, speedometer shows 60mph. When traveling 60 mph, speedometer shows 120 mph.
2005 ford mustang. Consumer writes in regards to faulty speedometer *tgw
My speedometer does not work so i do not know how fast i am going. This is a problem with many 2005 ford mustangs. There should be a recall on the instrument cluster to fix this problem.
My speedometer was reading a lower speed than i was actually driving. It was confirmed with a speed radar sign. My speedometer gauge was off by 15 mph. I checked online and noticed there were many other owners with the same defect. I contacted ford regarding the issue and they told me there wasn't any recall for my car. I did some more research and found out the steppers in the cluster gauge have been known to go bad.

I have experienced complete battery failure twice on my new ford mustang.the local ford dealers service department cannot give me a good explanation as to what is causing this problem.they told me that my car was not being driven enough.this is no answer.they tried to sell me an under the hood power disconnect apparatus.i said no as this would make me reset all of my radio and clock settings every time i disconnected the battery.i don't dare leave my car idle for any length of time as this will probably lead to another power failure.my car only has 1,100 miles on it and it has had to be towed twice to the dealer to have a new battery installed.no new car should have this problem.
Dt: contact states his vehicle will not start. The vehicle has been taken to the dealership 4 times. The 3rd time the dealership replaced the battery this was october 10, 2005.

Under normal driving conditions the digital dispay for audio system, digital display for odometer and gauge backlight went black, resulting in reduced ability to see gauges and inability to see odometer and audio system display.if this occurred at night, there would be zero ability to determine driving speed and other conditions of the vehicle as displayed on the gauges.checked fuse box located under vehicle hood and found that multiple fuses were not seated properly.additional owner of same model and year experienced same problem.checked new stock at dealer lot and found same problem.

My speedometer started acting erratic. It does not work at all now. The needle is stuck past 120 miles. Now my oil, water & battery gauges do not work. Asked my ford technician during my regular oil change and checkup about the problem and they stated that is was a sign my alternator was going out. I had my alternator changed, but it did not correct the problem and after that is when my other gauges quit working. Since this is a problem with almost every one made during that year, you would believe that ford would not want to tarnish their name by not issuing a recall. I have always owned a ford, but my family has recently changed to different makes and i will definitely consider changing after this. This is a safety issue because if your gauges are not working, you could stall in traffic by running out of gas, overheating, engine lock up, etc. I need my car so i can make a living for my family and i do love my car, but i am considering getting rid of it because i am afraid something will happen while i am in traffic. This does not need to wait until people start having accidents or dying. With the economy the way it is today, most people cannot afford to get their car repaired or change cars so they are left with no choice but to take chances. If it was your family in the car and something happened in traffic, would a recall come any faster? i have noticed recalls in the news happening faster when someone dies, but i wonder how many complaints were received before that happened? i suppose it would happen faster if the news were to pick up the story of how many problems existed and were left unnoticed. Thanks for looking into the problem, but please don't wait too long.
Thermostat housing exploded while driving.... Spoke to my mechanic and they said that these come in all the time to their shop on 4.0 ford cars and trucks.so much so that you don't even have to give ford the part number when you call in the part because so many people are ordering them.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact noticed that there was an abnormal noise coming form the engine. The contact mentioned that the front frame was damaged and the vehicle was too unstable to drive. The vehicle was taken to universal auto llc (491 west main street, greenwood, in 46142) where it was diagnosed that the lifters, timing chain, and timing chain kit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. In addition, the vehicle was leaking oil and white smoke was forming on the front passenger side of the vehicle. The vehicle stalled and failed to restart. The vehicle was towed back to the used dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 117,000.

Engine light came on and car was sticking in gear so i took it to the dealer.the dealer found out through a diagnostic test that the throttle assembly but wanted me to pay almost $1000.00 to get it fixed.i told them no and picked my car up.i went on line and found out there was a recall on the throttle assembly.
The day after getting my oil changed (which has been done routinely through out the life of my car) on my way to work the following morning my car began to slip erratically out of gear, it dropped into neutral when going from a complete stop (i narrowly avoided getting hit turning left across traffic) and then slipped into reverse at a stop light, which i did not discover until i hit the gas and nearly slammed into the car behind me at the light. When i had the car towed to my local ford dealership i had the car investigated by a third party to ensure that jiffy lube was not at fault for the damage done to my transmission when they changed the oil in the car. The report came back stating that the transmission was experiencing catastrophic failure due to uneven wearing on the inside of the transmission from the servo bars. I was informed that this is a very common problem with the transmission that is in my car and i was forced to buy a completely new transmission for $4600, otherwise my 10 year old gently driven well taken care of car with less than 65,000 miles on it that is in near mint condition would have been basically scrap. This is a dangerous mechanical failure that is frequently occurring and could cause an accident or worse a fatality.
I was driving about 55mph and heard a beep, looked in the dash and saw the engine went into a "fail safe mode". The car slowed down and jerked and slowed down quite a bit. Went to the dealership and could'nt find anything wrong w/ it. It started happening more often, so finally found a mechanic that was able to diagnose and fix the problem for $800. I saw in the paper that a few toyotas had this problem and wanted to let you know it happened on a new ford mustang as well. Also, whenever it rains, (the same car) leaks water into and puddles up under the passenger's seat. This has been a problem from the beginning of purchase. I don't drive this car in the rain because of this. I have talked to other mustang owners at the oil change facility, and they said they have the same problem. I really don't understand why there has not been a coulpe of recalls on the 2005 mustang gt. I waited a long time to get my dream car and paid a lot of money for it. If i'm not the only one having this problem, i would think the ford company should take responsibilty and fix the problems.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The 2005 to 2009 mustangs (all of them) have a water intrusion problem presented as a design flaw in the engine firewall that leaks water onto the smart junction block causing random electrical systems failure including the loss of engine ignition, loss of all systems, etc. In my case, the intrusion of water caused a sudden and complete loss of all systems. Discovered a day after heavy rain. There are thousands of reports of this on the web and the dealer admits it is a design flaw and known problem.
7 of 8 spark plugs broke while dealer was performing 100,000 mile service.$824 to replace 8 spark plugs.really????
I was driving at night at around 30mph when everything electrical went dead in my car including headlights and dashboard but the engine was still running. I was able to drive the car home but could not start it the next morning. Had to flat bed it to the dealership where they told me the whole computer system failed and had to be replaced. This happened 3 more time since then. Each time i was charged $3000 to have it replaced. It shouldn't happen once let alone 3 times. Another recent problem, my engine caught fire causing everything on the left side of my car to be replaced. Ford denied any "real problems they could find". Also had my gas tank replaced twice because it wouldn't fill up. And to add to everything, my gearshift needs to be replaced because a little plastic piece that hides the holes when u shift up or down, broke. $600 estimate at ford. As well as my engine smoking after driving for 2 hours at 65-70 mph. Do not buy a ford. Iv'e spent over $12k fixing the problems that i never caused. Ford refused to pay a dime or take any responsibility. Too many problems causing unsafe situations for me as well as other drivers and pedestrians around me.## vin failed ##
Throttle body failure causes my vehicle to stop in the middle of the road without any warning.
When i shift from park or neutral position to drive, the car surges forward. This has happened both when the car is in driveway stationary and intermittently at a stoplight.the date below that is required is incorrect; it has been doing it since i got the car i believe in feb 2005, but i didn't think of it being a safety issue until it was passed down to my daughter this year; for someone that isn't prepared, it could easily cause an accident
The car was coasting and then just completely turned off reducing steering and braking ability at least 50% until i could come to a complete stop, turn off the ignition, then restart it again. Since then this has happened at least 5 times, 4 in the last week! my totally trustworthy mechanic did a diagnostic test and found no failures besides the fact that the fuel gauge hasn't worked in years, the speedometer doesn't always tell me the speed, the gas tank shuts off before filling up, the head lights and interior lights have stayed on after turning off the car and hasn't turned off after it's rained. The rpm seems to be the problem for why the engine turns off when they are too low. There used to be a jerky problem during acceleration when the car would shoot forward then back off a couple times before returning to a more steady acceleration. I would consider this vehicle a complete lemon and threat to the safety of me and anybody else on the road but since the warranty period is over and it's been taken to a mechanic i don't have any other options besides reporting it to you, i really wish there was some way this problem could be solved and i'm certain many other owners of this same vehicle are dealing with the same problem.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. While pulling out of the driveway at 5 mph in rainy weather, water began pouring out of the dashboard. The contact detected a burning odor coming from the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact replaced the cabin filter, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 72,453.
While driving on local road heard a noise from engine compartment, lost power steering, battery warning light came on and shortly after car stopped running. Found accessory belt detached from pulley. Found out from ford that this was the crankshaft pulley, and this is quite common on the 4.0v6 engine.
Since about a year ago, november 2013, this vehicle has shown multiple issues. To start, it is an automatic 05 mustang which, the more i read online, the more that i seem to find that many have these exact same or very similar issues. Initially the dash cluster (everything besides the tachometer) was not functioning properly. The speedometer would get stuck at 20 mph but still move acting as though the 20 mph was the 0 mph mark (so 35 mph = 15 mph). More recently the gas gauge has stopped working, it sits at empty even after plenty of gas has been put into it. The temperature gauge also gets stuck often, still moving as the speedometer does. Not too long after these issues started occurring, when i went to fill up the gas tank it wouldn't take the gas as it normally would. Sometimes only a couple dollars worth would be in before it clicked off. After paying closer attention i have also noticed sometimes gas actually splashes out when filling it up even though it is definitely not full. Much more recently the vehicle hasworrying issues. At one point while driving on the freeway at 70 mph the vehicle suddenly started to decelerate on its own, even while i was pressing on the gas pedal. I pulled it off to the side, shut it off completely, started it up and it was as though nothing happened. Ever since that incident though it has been running a bit louder and now it seems a possible misfire is happening with one of the cylinders occasionally. The vehicle has a delayed and very hard shift from third to fourth gear. It is not as though the vehicle has not been taken care of, and for a 2005 the mileage is pretty low still. At least one or two of these issues seem to be a safety concern, and it is very obvious after researching online that these issues are prevalent in tons of these exact same vehicles.
Automatic transmission has trouble shifting into low gear. Doesn't want to accelerate after stopping. Sounds as if it is stuck in a gear. Have read many complaints about this online and ford just claims it isn't their problem. Also, all gauges quit working at approx 70,000 miles. Fuel system is terrible. Will not pump gas past half a tank and spits gas back out while pumping like its full. Causes pump to constantly shut off. All of these are incredibly dangerous and makes this car unsafe to drive.
The car stalled while cruising at highway speeds. Needed to pull over to without power steering or brakes and restart the car. This is not an isolated incident.http://www.ncconsumer.org/news-articles/nccc%20petitions%20nhtsa%20for%20defect%20investigation%20into%20ford%20escape%20vehicles.html.
In heavy city traffic, stepped on gas to accelerate, car would not go. Kept giving gas would finally respond. Did this several times in one day. Next time we tried to drive it "engine safe mode" light came on and car would not accelerate at all. Through research and talking to others determined that it is thethrottle body (drive by wire) a known problem with some ford vehicles.talked to the ford dealer where we bought the car and the service person we spoke to told us it would be covered by ford's extended warranty in response to csp 13n03. Took the car in today for appointment and they said it was not covered by that extended warranty andthat consumer satisfaction program 13n03 did not pertain to a mustang. Does not seem right to us that our car would not be covered when research has shown that mustang's have had the same problem and the same "drive by wire" system.we are left being responsible for over $500 in costs for this repair.
Dt: purchased vehicle on april 27, 2005 , and the engine blew out onaugust 12, 2005. There was a ticking noise, stopped vehicle,and checked the oil, put oil in it,kept ticking, and the engine blew out.the safety lights onthe dashboard did not come on. Contacted dealer, they hookedvehicle to the machine.they said water got into the air intake valve. Called another ford dealer to get second opinion , they said that was impossible and it was hydro locked. It should be covered under warranty.
My son was driving his 2005 ford mustang yesterday when it burst into flames.he was pulling onto i 95 when the car suddenly shut off. He couldn't even make if off the driving area when it came to a complete stop. Once it stopped black smoke started pouring out.he jumped out of the car and ran away from it when it burst into flames. The car was in perfect condition. Never even missed an oil change.no warning signs of any issues. I am thankful that my son is safe but very upset at the ford car and have now read many ford fire issues that ford has not corrected.
2005 mustang v6 auto. Nearly got hit on side because car stalled when accelerating from a still position turning left to cross a through traffic road to get accross to another road. Happened at least 10 times since owning car.
On saturday april 18, 2009 my daughter called to say that her car was hard to steer. She pulled over and her main belt had come off, which in turn caused the car to overheat. Upon further investigation and turning the ignition over, the belt fell off again and so did the pulley on the harmonic balancer. We had to have the car towed to a shop. Upon arriving at the shop i was told that the harmonic balancer broke off the crank shaft. When the new part arrived you could clearly see that it has been redesigned. We paid $600 to have the necessary repairs done. I was told by our mechanic that he has never seen anything like this and there should be a recall on it. I hope this will make that happen.
Initial problems:1. Pin strip on driver side was peeling off2. A/c vent fell out of console3. Convertible top got stuck in the down position.stopped by closest dealer because i was on vacation and we pulled the top back up.brought it to a local dealer for repairs and they said it was not covered under warranty because the entire convertible top frame was twisted.they stated this was because i most likely had driven while the top was half way up/down.after several weeks ford engineers decided to cover the repairs for the top.took the dealer five weeks to get all parts and replace the top.4. Gas tank replaced because gas pumps would constantly cut off while refueling.5. A/c makes popping noise every once in while.current issues:1. Noise in front end while turning at slow speeds 2. After car warms to driving temperature, there is a thumping noise heard in engine, very prominent in interior3. Driver side exterior door handle sticks in the out position4. Convertible top making a thud noise when raising and lowering top5. Exhaust is making a popping noise when if engine is revved right after starting the car6. Slight vibration/rattling noise coming from console while car idles7. A/c making popping noise every once in while.
The car's instrument cluster suddenly completely malfunctioned, the "fail-safe" engine system light came on, causing the engine to shut down and to suddenly stop the car in moving traffic. This was truly a life-endangering situation. The speedometer and the engine temperature dials of the instrument cluster had been erratic in the past weeks before the incident. Obviously, this car is unsafe to drive.for more than five weeks ford motor company has claimed to have no instrument clusters available to fix the problem.
Dt: the consumer stated when pulling into a parking lot at a very low speed the vehicle suddenly accelerated when brake pressure was applied.the vehicle slowed then quickly surged forward.he placed the vehicle into neutral and turned the engine off.he took the vehicle to the dealer, who inspected the vehicle.the diagnostic test did not show any codes.they could not duplicate the problem.the dealer insisted there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. No repairs have been made at this time.updated 12/07/05.
Lost power steering when belt came off. The harmonic balancer separated with the pulley part moving 1 1/2" toward the motor taking it out of alignment with the rest of the belt. Ford admitted this has been an ongoing problem with the harmonic balancers and there is a nationwide back order on them.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. While backing the vehicle up she noticed a banging noise coming from the front of the vehicle. She exited the vehicle to look for a failure but did not notice any so she proceeded to her destination; however, noise became louder. When the contact reached her destination she discovered that the crank shaft pulley was laying in the frame of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a local repair facility and a mechanic stated that the serpentine belt was damaged and was no longer on the pulley. The vehicle is being repaired at a cost of $700.00. The contact is in the process of notifying the manufacturer.the failure and current mileage was 74,000.

My 16 yr old son was driving and the speed gauge started reading 90 then 60 then 100 also the temp gauge went into the red.he panicked that car was going to blow up and pulled off the highway at night to call to see what he should do.i find this to be very unsafe in both aspects of not knowing if the car could of caused an accident and also the fact of him being on the side of the highway at night.i have read of others having this same problem, this differently needs to be addressed before a major accident does happen.ford should be ashamed of this and offer a correction on this problem.
While driving my 2005 ford mustang (v6 with 7,000 on the odometer) at approx. 40mph the gas pedal suddenly became totally inoperative. This occurred only once but was followed in two subsequent events with the check engine light coming on and the (yellow wrench light) for the throttle control. This then activated the "limp home" mode. Obviously loosing all gas pedal response while driving was the frightening part of all this.
Dt:on october 11, 2005 while driving thevehicle hit a rock.then, the rock hit the condenser and radiator, causinga leak.this caused the engine to overheat.the vehicle had lost power steering and the brakes.thecontactwas able to pull safely to the curb.the rock caused a small dent in the radiator.the contact was concerned because there was nothing protecting the radiator from damage.the contacttook vehicle to dealerfor repairs.the dealership said that the radiator and the motor will have to be replaced.the vehicle was going to be repaired.
At 100 miles engine developed ticking noise in engine, after 2 dealers, 1 ford rep dealer diagnostic detrermined lifters bad,had to replace lifters.engine had 5600 miles on it b4 they determined problem
After driving my mustang approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours at highway speeds, i exited the interstate. At the top of the ramp i attempted to merge into traffic but when i pushed the accelerator the car shut off right in the path of oncoming traffic. It did restart so i avoided being struck. Since then it has done it several times even while driving along then accelerating.i have had several close calls due to this problem.i have returned the car to the dealership on three different occasions. The first time, they replaced a o2 sensor. The last two times they said they can not find a problem.
A valve keeper inexplicably failed on my 2005 ford mustang with only 41,000 miles on it causing the #4 cylinder valve to go into the cylinder and damage the piston and cylinder.end result need a whole new engine.
-the contact stated that while idling the engine would suddenly rev up to 2500 rpm.the 2005 ford mustang would then lunge forward, causing the vehicle to accelerate without touching the gas pedal.the contact stated that he has been experiencing this failure since he purchase the vehicle.the contact currently has the vehicle at sheltz ford and this is the first time he has brought it to this dealership, but took it to four different dealership trying to fix the vehicle'smalfunction.the dealerships stated that there isn't anything wrong with the vehicle and that he might be driving the vehicle incorrectly.updated 1/29/2006 - when the vehicle was taken to the dealer they informed him that the high rev would go away and that it was a normal break-in condition.
A valve lock/cap failed on the number 5 piston and the rotary arm fell into the exhaust valve and destroyed the engine at only 56,000 miles.
Purchased vehicle in 4/05-problems started in 10/05.engine light on and engine idle rough on 4 separate occasions.two sensors, a solenoid, and spark plug replaced on those occasions.now car is at dealer because it will stall when idle and lose power.this is really not safe when you are entering traffic!still waiting for the outcome of this.the fuel sending unit needed to be replaced due to erratic fuel gauge-the gauge would show empty when the tank was full.
One week after car purchased paint flaking off and car has blue smoke coming from exhaust at start up. Car has been painted since then 3 times and to date paint is flaking off and you should see all ofthe buffing scratches from the dealership(town & country ford/bessemer, al) trying to correct their mistakes. I might add this is a roush mustang. Car has been in 2 times for blue smoke and service department can't duplicate the problem(common statements made by ford's service department). Ford motor company refuses to even send a representative out to look at the vehicle. To say the least they do not stand behind their products and we will never purchase another one. We are in the arbitration process at this time with this vehicle. I would not recommend a ford to anyone. Read all about their problems online before you purchase. I wish i did.
2005 ford mustangfuel system, replaced due to system failure when filling car with gas, it broke again ford will not or can not fix, manual 5-speed transmissions replaced 2 times and going out again, car at ford 28 days in last 6 months for warranty repairs, ford denies the car is a lemon.
1)rattle sound coming from exhaust area when taking off in car.2)cd's skip or won't play sometimes with shaker 10003) passenger side airbag light comes on and off while driving all the time by itself.4) having trouble filling tank with gas at most gas stations.5)have been hearing a squeak sound coming from drivers side dashboard near windshield area.
My 2005 mustang rpm gauge has quit working. After researching online of this issue i found that this is a known issue with mustangs. Can you please let me know who i need to contact to get this item under a recall item that mandates ford to fix the issue.
The instrument cluster is displaying incorrect information for the speedometer and for the engine temperature.the sensors are working correctly based on a reading from the obd ii port.
Problems with my 2005 mustang gt taken possesion of jan. 2005:1) 500 shaker system, skipped cds constantly....replaced2) fog light failed to operate...repaired3) noise in front end while turning at slow speeds...repaired4) heat/ac vents are not in sync..air does not exit proper vent selected...not fixed as of yet...heat is felt from under dash even when off5) after car warms to driving temperature, there is a thumping noise heard in engine, very prominent in interior...dealer is working on problem, even had a ford engineer listen to it...still unsolved...6) "god, what next?"
While taking vehicle into dealer for diagnostic on engine noise, shaker 1000 stereo system failed, would not play or recognize cd's,would change radio stations on its own and clock woulod not keep time. Dealer replaced entire radio system
My 2005 ford mustang v6 has been having speedometer malfunctions weekly.these malfunctions cause the speedometer to start at numbers that are not 0, resulting in an inaccurate reading of my speed.it read 120 while i may only be going 40 and even when i shut down the vehicle it will remain at 40+.a temporary fix is to turn the vehicle on and off which sometimes causes the needles to slowly drop, but usually it will stay over 20 for extended periods of time, and when i do succeed in reaching 0 within a week or two the problem will occur again.i have been in contact with many other owners of the same model and year of this vehicle and all are having similar problems, most of us have gone to a ford dealership and have been told that it will be a $500-$650 repair/ replacement of the instrument cluster which seems to be the reason for the problems, but since so many are having a similar problem shouldn't this be a recall?
I own a 2005 v6 mustang.the speedometer stoped working properly at 75k miles.most of the time it stays at zero mph and then others it is all over the place.now my oil gauge seems to get stuck on cold mornings and i also noticed that temp gauge doesn't work sometimes.what is going on with this vehicle.i have read numerous complaints online about the same issue other 2005 mustang owners are having.i have never had this happen to any other vehicle i have ever owned, and i believe that this is an iherant issue with the year and model.ford should do a recall and fix this problem.i am asking for the ford company to pick up the tab on this one before something happens and someone get's hurt.the speedometer malifunction could mislead driver's of speed and cause an accident.ford want to charge $1k to fix the issue that obviously a flaw with the car model.please help!mileage: 81,729.
My car shows erratic needle movement and gauges are reading over heat 0 miles per hour while moving and sticks at 120 mph after use and is parked. Gas meter is off, odometer is off, it's very scary to drive and expensive. Already dealt with the water leak issue form passenger side. Cluster panel is broken i believe. Bad dash board. Hundreds of forums explain same issues on going years on new models. Not safe or fair for ford to not address this death trap.
2005 ford mustang with parking brake problems which caused the vehicle to be damaged after rolling down a hill.consumer is also expressing discontent with the ford company.the consumer stated the door handles were replaced three times,the convertible top had to be replaced, a new fuel pump was needed which was recalled, a new radio was installed, and the battery was replaced twice.

I have had repeated problems with my cd player (shakker 500) i have had six stereos in the car and all six have done the same thing.they will make horrible noises, say bad disk or disk error or nothing at all before it starts spitting out the cd's.if i do not grab the first cd, it will spit out all six.i have had an independent inspection of the car to determine the problem because i do not feel it is the stereo.the inspection states that the voltage is dropping in the car which sends the stereo into an erratic state.ford motor company says that they cannot duplicate the problem so their solution is to keep putting stereo's in the car.i just had a "brand new" stereo installed on april 26, 2006.this was to be ford's final attempt to fix the problem.the stereo went crazy again twice on friday april 28, 2006.i have repeatedly complained about this being a safety issue because i can't keep taking my attention from my driving to catch cd's.i wanta resolution and i am not getting it with ford.i want to know how to go about getting a recall issued on this car stereo/ car/ voltage problem.any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
There is an apparent design flaw in 2005 mustangs as i have read hundreds of similar complaints as to what i am experiencing.due to this design flaw after a recent day of heavy rain 1 headlight and 1 signal light will not turn off once the car has been shut off.i researched and apparently the smart junction box (sjb) got wet and the electrical unit is now malfunctioning.there was also a strong burning smell when i got home that night as well.spoke with an online mechanic technician and he confirmed that the sjb needs to be replaced.there has been a long history of the car leaking on the passenger side whenever it rains due to the design flaw.also my gas gauge never reads properly, inside lights are also dim/off and the check engine light has been going on and off for nearly a year and my mechanic could not diagnose whythe reviews online said when they spoke to ford that admitted that it was a known problem but because there has been no recall that they will not repair this for free.estimates i read put the cost around $1000 to get this fixed and do not want to pay that kind of money especially when ford admits to knowing there is a problem.i am hopeful that we can get ford to do the right thing and issue a recall for this.it is a serious problem since the electrical system can cause a fire from reports i have read.this happened to meet on 12/21/18.i was driving home from work and parked the car and shut it off.as i locked the car i noticed that the drivers side headlight and passenger side signal light stayed on and i had to disconnect the battery to make them shut off.also there was a strong burning odor when i lifted the hood.
Driving down the highway in a drizzle rain, the headlights, blinkers, fuel gauge, stereo, stopped working, the ebrake light, fuel light, check engine light, oil light, came on. The traction control turned of and will not turn back on. On passenger side of vehicle floor was wet, the smart junction box had water on it and on the wiring harness.
Complete lighting failure while traveling at night. While driving home all of my lights began to flicker then completely failed, no headlights tail lights dash ( seemed to be a complete electrical failure ) initially thought engine had quit but no it was still running. I did get an engine code indicator light on the dash. Once pulled over i checked the battery cables both were tight still no lights in the process i had put the car in park, transmission locked in park. After a short while lights came back on . Everything seemed normal so i resumedmy attempt to reach home however a few miles down the road it did it again. Next day i took the vehicle into the dealership where they told me they had to reprogram the computer. Vehicle so far has operated fine so far. Not sure if the problem was related to the chips in the keys or the anti theft system however if this had occurred on a remote road or highway it could very well have caused an accident. I had no electrical period including the emergency flashers. The battery , alternator , and fuses were all functional.
Defect in under cowl drainage leads to rainwater leaking into passenger compartment.water drains down wiring harness into the smart junction box casing electrical shorts that at first caused the right headlamp to shutdown after 15 seconds.recycling the headlight switch brings the headlight back on for another 15 seconds.this condition renders the vehicle unsafe to operate from sunset to sunrise.now the drivers side headlamp has begun the same problem.i checked online and it is apparent that this is a significant safety issue for which the vehicle manufacturer has no part available to fix.they initially informed me that the smj would be available to purchase last september.that has now been pushed back to february of 2016.they want over $400 for the part plus additional labor to program and install a component that should have been recalled years ago.this problem is already covered under a tsb and the defect can cause a multitude of malfunctions that could easily result in life threatening situations.i just recently checked and found over 286 reports on file with nhtsa, yet no apparent investigations appear to have been conducted, nor a recall.it is my sincer hope that nhtsa is not waiting for a body count before taking action.http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forums/2005-2010-mustang-talk/301555-pics-vid-2005-dash-water-leak-fix.html#/forumsite/20799/topics/301555?page=1https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rwsgwtizix5qu_tgsnhlx4mwgnsuji-zs6pjwsa_sre/mobilebasic?pli=1
Water got to fuse box made headlights go off and flooded passenger side of car.
After we had the first airbag recall replaced we started to experience the flicker 9f the airbag light. We assumed this was due to the necessity of the passenger side airbag needing to be recalled. Our service technician doesn't agree. They say the instrument cluster needs replacing. The only information i can find on that is that all other gauges fail if the cluster needs replacing. That is why i feel that the light is on directly because of the airbag recall.
None of the gauges on this vehicle work. Including speed/temp/oil/fuel.
Drove not knowing how fast i was goingexcept my gps thank god, airbag said malfuntion popped me in the face, lights were dim couldn't see and drove into a pole. Third huge issue and ford won'r fix b/c warranty i could have killed or been killed.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang.while driving between 50-55 mph in rainy weather conditions at night, the entire instrument panel and exterior lighting failed without warning.in addition, the front passenger side floor area and fuse panel exhibited water leakage.there was extremely poor night visibility due to the failures.the vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road.the contact heard a clicking noise coming from the instrument panel before it and the exterior lighting resumed operation.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, but a diagnostic was not performed due to the cost.the vehicle has not been repaired.the vehicle was not accepted by the system.the failure mileage was 38,000 and current mileage was 50,000. Updated 5/26/09 the consumer stated the speedometer, tachometer and fuel gauge were inoperative. Updated 05/28/09.
There is a manufacturer's defect that allows water leakage into the instrument panel/smart box junction and subsequently into the vehicle itself.resultant issues include the inability to drive the vehicle (frozen shift), electrical failure with loss of instruments including various gauges, brake lights, ventilation/ac, power windows, and headlights, and physical water damage (mold/mildew).ford is aware of the defect and later models were redesigned to compensate for the flaw.however, ford refuses to issue a recall or acknowledge the deficiency, nor will they provide any kind of financial assistance with the necessary repairs directly caused by this defect.should the mustang experience the above mentioned electrical failures while being driven, an accident could occur.there are numerous similar incidents reported about this exact same issue, and ford must be held accountable.i spoke to ford "customer service" on 5/5/11 to report the issue and request financial assistance for the repairs.i was told to take my vehicle to the dealership, pay for the diagnostic test, and have the dealership confirm the "defect".i made a follow-up call to ford "customer service" on 5/9/10 to report that the service manager did confirm the defect and that he had seen similar problems.however, ford said they were not responsible, would not provide financial assistance, and that i was "misinformed" by my initial call to ford in giving me hope they could somehow help me.additionally, they stated that i "should not expect my ford vehicle to last beyond 100k miles".in the meantime, we are responsible for the towing, diagnostic, and repair bills, so the ford service department is profiting from this.this was our fourth ford vehicle, and it will certainly be our last.
2005 mustang v6, right rear brake light and turn signal bulb keeps burning out. If second bulb fails on this side there is no turn signal.have seen this defect on other 05 + mustangs.
Dt*:the contact stated while using the fog lights there was a smell of smoke.upon inspection, it was noticed the fog lights melted the front grill.the dealership was alerted.
Dt:2005 ford mustang gt -had anelectrical system problem which resulted in a crash.while turning off of the highway into a residential area the transmission malfunctioned causing uncontrollable acceleration.the brakes were appliedbut the vehicle continued to accelerate. The front brakes did not stop the vehicle.the vehicle went into a clock wise spin.the car turned onto the driver's side and then hit a tree.what happened next was that the electrical system was still acting strange, the trunk opened andtryingto closeit back down the lights came off and on. The door locks would lock and unlock by themselves. The vehicle had $6,300 worth of damage. The dealership didnot assist the consumerwith anything.the vehicle was purchased on august 29, 2005 as a new vehicle which only had 72 miles on it. Upon impact the airbags did not deploy and the fuel cut off switch did not activate.a police report was taken.*mr
Design of taillights for new ford mustangs is unsafe.direct midday sunlight causes taillights to appear lit when they are not.there is not enough of a difference between brakes-on and brakes-off appearance of taillights when in direct sunlight between mid-morning and late-afternoon.
2005 mustang v6, right rear brake light and turn signal bulb keeps burning out. If second bulb fails on this side there is no turn signal.have seen this defect on other 05 + mustangs.
Failure of instrument cluster and water leak in passenger side foot well.speedometer non-functioning, fuel indicator non-functioning, and engine temperature gauge non-functioning.provides serious safety hazard without knowing vehicle speed.any substantial rain results in water pooling in passenger side foot area, and saturation of fuse box area, which provides concerns for a vehicle-wide loss of electrical power and brake/steering control.i have looked at several online owners' forums and there are numerous cases of this commonly-documented safety problem, but ford motor company refuses to address it until nhtsa issues a recall.i have called fmc, and they refused to address the issue.
I purchased a 2005 ford mustang v6. In 2006 i started having trouble with giving it gas and no going anywhere. When i took to mechanic he could not find anything wrong. The problem stopped on its own. In 6 months i started having same problem. Took to a different mechanic, he said it was a defected gas tank. I wish someone would check on this before it happens again and i get into a serious wreck due to malfunction.
When attempting to put gas in the vehicle you have to run it in real slow or the pump will shut off.it acts as if the tank is full even though it is almost empty.apparently the gas is pooling where the end of the pump releases the gas, there is a sharp slightly uphill right angle for the gas to travel and there is not enough room to for it to move through like other cars.the gas float stopped working as well, the gas needle is buried on the far right side of the guage inside the car, it is worthless, i believe these are related because they happened right around the same time.
Gas tank will no longer accept gas from a gas station pump.we have repeated shut offs of the pump.can only use pump by turning gas pump upside down.this is a public safety issue as gas will overflow the tank and will spray into the ground.ford is aware of problem as a design defect, but will only cover expense if car is under warranty.this is a problem in 2005 and 2006 mustangs which are most likely out of warranty.ford should be required to fix this problem when it occurs.
Popping noise up front when i turn left or right, also very hard to put gas in tankmy brother is a certified mechanic and he said it was the strut bearing plate making the popping noise on the passenger side. It is like 300.00 plus labor to replace. I have read alot of people complaining on the popping noise, this should be a recall. The gas tank should be a recall too. Thanks
2005 ford mustangbeen to the service department 3 times for not being able to fill gas tank, spews out even at a trickle from the pump4th time returned to dealer and said there was a repair but now my warranty has run out. They knew the repair was available long ago. Surely this qualifies as a defect in the system. When it happens my wife gets covered in gas shooting out the filler neck.
Recently purchased 2005 ford mustang and was told upon sale that there was a problem with the fuel gauge.i figured it would be easy enough to fix so wasn't really concerned.now a week later i noticed the speedometer doesn't work as well.it sticks on 15 mph for periods of time or then will show at least 15 - 30 mph faster than i am actually going.i searched online for a fix and found thousands of threads of individuals with the exact same issue and even copies of letters sent to owner stating that there wasn't a recall because it's not a safety concern.i bought this car for my daughter.running out of gas late at night because her fuel gauge is broken is a safety issue.sure can she write down mileage every time she gets gas, yes.but after reading so many comments by so many people it seems as if this issue should be resolved by ford. Seems to be isolated on the 2005 only.in addition not know your speed limit is also a safety concern and also a financial concern should you get pulled over having no idea how fast you are driving.its seems as if the entire cluster of gauges are faulty and need to be addressed.your response or help in getting ford to rectify is greatly appreciated.
Purchased the car on june 1, 2005 and on three occasions have been unable to fill the gas tank more than half way.i have even left the gas station and gone back later in the day to finish filling the tank, but was unable to do so, as the pump continued to shut off as if the tank was already full.
Purchased vehicle in 4/05-problems started in 10/05.engine light on and engine idle rough on 4 separate occasions.two sensors, a solenoid, and spark plug replaced on those occasions.now car is at dealer because it will stall when idle and lose power.this is really not safe when you are entering traffic!still waiting for the outcome of this.the fuel sending unit needed to be replaced due to erratic fuel gauge-the gauge would show empty when the tank was full.
Trying to refuel at some pumps is a problem.something keeps shutting off the pump.i have learned to recognize this and go to another station down the road.i can usually fill the tank at another station.there are some stations where this has problem has occurred more times than not, so i try to avoid these stations.
Gauge cluster not operational. Speedometer inaccurate. While sitting at a stand still will read 70 mph, or other measurements. Tachometer not functioning a majority of the time. Sits below 0 at all times of operation.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated while refueling the vehicle, gasoline began spewing from the vehicle and onto the ground and the contact. The vehicle was taken to a local repair facility where the contact was advised to inquire with the manufacturer about a technical service bulletin on the vehicle. The dealer advised there was a defect within the fuel tank and any repairs would be at the owner's expense. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 67,000.
My 2005 ford mustang shut totally off while traveling in the left lane of a busy interstate highway in nc (i-95n).i managed to get off road and had the car towed to a dealership near fayetteville, nc.the diagnosis was a bad mass air flow (maf) sensor.i feel that a vehicle should go into a fail-safe mode and not totally shut down due to a minor issue such as a bad maf sensor.under slightly less favorable road/weather conditions, this dangerous vehicle fault could have resulted in an accident.
Speedometer, tachometer, temp , and fuel gauges fail intermittently. Gauges get stuck or provide false readings.
Our 2005 ford mustang v6 started showing no fuel on the gauge approximated in june of 2013.at first it was random but now it never shows gas in the tank even when the tank is full.we keep track of the miles and keep it filled because we have no gauge. As of march 2014 the car has a check engine light on and has started to stop when at intersections.it acts like it has no gas.it is frightening when your car is sitting in busy traffic and won't move.so far it has started up after a few tries.we are very concerned after reading other mustang owners have the same problem and ford has done nothing to recall or try to help owners fix this issue.
In 2008 ford replaced the gas tank on the ford mustang because of a defect in the gas tank for refueling.engine light comes on indicating either low fuel pressure or emitting emissions. Verified problem at perry ford poway ca with [xxx] explained that the new gas tank needed to have new fuel pump cell to match the new gas tank.ford customer service verified only new gas tank installed in 2008.ford wants me to pay for correcting their error of not matching the right fuel pump cell to the new gas tank.if the gas tank is leaking fumes this should be considered a risk to me and other that had a gas tank replaced.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My fuel gauge on vehicle has quit working and says i have no gas when i have just filled up, the speedometer also goes erratic and says i'm going 120 when actually going much slower, the cold hot gauge either reads hot, regardless of if i just started the car or if its been running for an hour.
I am not sure exactly who to send this to.i am contacting you about a vehicle safety issue.this is about a 2005 ford mustang.i have talked with the ford dealer about this and they are unwilling to help.this is a known issue with this vehicle model according to the ford dealer service dept and i would assume other ford vehicles with this engine.this mustang has 60,000 miles currently.this issue has been going on since approximately 45,000 miles.the issue, according to the dealer service dept, is with the engines throttle body.apparently the throttle plate bushings become worn and allow the plate to become stuck shut.this causes the engine to become "stuck" at idle.this has resulted in multiple near miss vehicle accidents.this has happened quite often when trying to pull out into traffic from a stop and the car will not accelerate when the gas pedal is pushed, even to the floor.the car just idles into traffic or the engine dies completely adding the problem of no power steering.i have two vehicles that were affected by safety recall 07s57.this seems to me to be a similar safety issue and thought i should contact the nhtsa.i am not sure who to contact about this for help.if this is not the correct place to send this can you forward it to someone or reply to me with info.thank youmatt mitchellsan antonio, tx
I own a ford mustang 2005 v6. The first thing to happen around december of 2013was my gas gauge dropped to empty and the low fuel light came on with a message of failure to read the amount of gas of vehicl when in fact i had a full tank. This started doing it every so often and now does it on a daily occurrence, the check engine is on and i have dificulties to pass pollution test in illinois because of that.this is happening to many mustang oweners and really sounds like a defect on these ford mustang. It is not a cheap fix and ford needs to step up to the plate and a recall needs to be done.

I filled up the gas tank and the fuel gauge needle registered past the full level and now is giving erratic readings. The temperature gauge has quit working with needle pointing to the floor.
My ford mustang has now 32k miles on it purchased new and only one owner/driver. All of my instrument are no longer working or work erratically. I am having problems knowing what speed i am traveling, if there is gas in my car. I am a woman who does not like to get stranded on the highway and this is now a big fear. I cannot tell what my speed is and therefore am very leary driving unless with traffic so i can keep with them. It is apparent alot of others are also complaining about the same problem to the point it starts to cause transmission problems. Is there something we can do to get this up as a recall, what options do we have? i cannot afford to replace all clusters for 600-700 dollars and find out it is still having problems. Any suggestions?
First the gas gauge hand would stay on empty even when filling up or it would go straight down way past the full mark. Never know how much gas i have. Now the speedometer is not working properly. It will either stay at 0mph while i'm driving or say i'm going 20-30mph when the car is shut off and not even running. At times it says i'm going 110mph when i'm driving through town which is a 35mph and clearly i am not driving 110mph. I find this to be a great hazard to other drivers since i never know how fast i'm going. After doing internet research it seems many mustang owners have this same issue. I feel that having a defective speedometer is a safety hazard that needs to be addressed if safety is really important to the nhtsa.
2005 ford mustangi purchased the car as a used vehicle.on most occurrences it takes 15 minutes to fuel the car with about 1/4 -1/8 of a tank of fuel remaining.there appears to be an issue with pressure in the tank causing the pump nozzle to shut off repeatedly. The nozzle must be removed from the tank inlet and then put back in about 20-30 times in order for the tank to be filled.
1. Ran out of gas on freeway2. Within 1 week after buying my 2005 mustang the gas gauge would read out of fuel when i had a full tank. Now the fuel gauge stays on full even when i am out of fuel.3. Fords solution was to add tekron fuel booster, which to my surprise worked for a while. Now i put in the tekron from chevron and it does no longer solve the problem. I talked to the ford dealerand ford motor company and got the same answer, the mustang has a split fuel tank and both sides have a fuel level sensor and they both have to be replaced to solve the problem. To a tune of over $600.00. Why is it that nissan has a recall back to 95 to fix fuel gauge problems but ford puts the repair cost on the customer, its not right.
2005 mustang v6 automatic. Stalling unexpectly this has happened several times.repair shop unable to find out what is wrong.also temperature gauge not working already replaced the sensor and it worked for a while now not working again.now my transmisstion is slipping. And of course filling the car with gas is also a problem.seems to be that all these problems are very commong and i think ford should be taking care of fixing them.
Filling fuel tank - in response to all those consumers having problems filling their 2005 ford mustang gas tanks, here is a method you can try which works for me everytime.turn the gas pump/hose nozzle in an upside down position within your tank and it should fill without shutting off!
Gas gauge erratic. Then failed last august. Ford says must replace entire cluster at cost of $450-650 plus labor this seems to be a common problem on this model. Only 45000 miles on this car. Cost seems excessive. What is ford doing to back this up? updated 06/10/13
Approximately a year ago, the speedometer and fuel gauges on my 2005 ford mustang started to malfunction. Since then, they have been giving me false readings. Examples include my fuel level will read at half a tank when i will actually be near empty, the more pressing issue however, is that my speedometer keeps giving me increadibly inaccurate readings, saying i'll be going 90 mph, when i'll really be going 20, or saying that i'm constantly going well over 150mph...even though my car will be parked and turned off. I have read that many other 2005 mustang owners are having this problem and being told they are having to pay anywhere from $500-600 for the repair when it is clearly ford motor's fault. I cannot afford to pay this, but i cannot afford to continue having to guess my speed either, it is unsafe, and potentially causing me to break the law by speeding. A recall order needs to be issued to save me and my fellow mustang owners from having to pay this excessie cost for a problem that is the maker's problem.
On september 1, 2010, the gas gauge on the vehicle failed - reading more than full, and other various irregular readings. Repaired for $75, then failed again next day. Have not repaired again as dealer estimates cost at $1500 due to multiple failures according to their tests. Gas light still works when fuel is very low. On november 1, 2010, the speedometer failed - reading 80 mph when vehicle is stopped. Have not repaired, using gps to estimate speed.i contacted ford about these issues as they seem very common with this model & year vehicle by a quick search online. They advised that i should just get it fixed at the closest dealership. Given the frequency of this failure i feel they should be responsible as the original parts must be faulty given the number of people posting the same issues online. Ford advised that your agency was the only one that could order a recall. I would think that knowing how much gas you have or knowing how fast you are going are valid safety issues that ford should be required to fix at their expense.
The fuel gauge began to act erratically before ceasing to work altogether. I took the car to fairway ford (placentia, ca) and reported the problem. The service writer dismissed me by saying the repair was too costly and that there was no known universal problem with the 2005 v6 ford mustang. He did not document the problem reported on my service record.i have a colleague with the same year and model who has the same problem.
Returning home from work, the engine stopped operating. I pulled onto the median and managed to bring my vehicle to a stop. The check engine light as well as other icons were lit up on the information panel which indicated there was still electrical power. After a couple of attempts the vehicle started and i proceeded on my way. Traffic was heavy by this time. Within the next mile or so the vehicle stalled an additional 4-5 times particularly when stopped at intersections. I managed to restart the vehicle and proceeded directly to the auto dealership since it was on my way.
Gas tank on my 2005 mustang won't completely fill. The local ford dealer says this is a common problem on this vehicle. They replaced the tank a few months ago after it wouldn't fill up. The new tank worked correctly until a week and a half ago. Now the local dealer says there is nothing that can be done to correct the problem.
Fuel gauge drops to empty, sometimes comes back while driving. Seems to always read normal after turning ignition off and back on.
At 43,000 miles the check engine light would come on and then go off.the engine rpms will surge up and down when first starting and there seems to be a greater amount of exhaust visible.the warranty ford dealer for this area in germany (kohlhoff ford in mannheim) checked the vehicle and determined that the engine air/gas control sensor (anti-knock sensor) is defective.this is a 50 state emissions control vehicle (california) but ford warranty advisor states that the warranty is only when it's in california.i am stationed overseas. So the 3 year, 50,000 mile warranty for this and the 8 year, 80,000 mile emissions warranty is not covering this.replacement parts are on order.
Throttle body failed as i was driving at speed on the freeway. When it failed, the vehicle immediately went into idle mode which made it very dangerous to avoid traffic as i attempted to move onto the shoulder of the freeway. The car moved at no more than 5mph! the repair is very expensive. I feel that this part should not fail after just 76,000 miles. Attached is the repair bill.
The first thing to happen around june of 2011 was my gas gauge dropped to empty and the low fuel light came on when in fact i had a full tank. This started doing it every so often and now does it on a daily occurrence. The next thing approx. A month later my tach started acting strange and is now stuck in one position and has been that way for about 6 months. Starting last september the speedometer would drop down to 0 while driving, sometimes it shows going 20 or 25 miles per hour when in fact i am probably doing 55 or 60. This is very distressing as i love my mustang and bought it brand new in december 2004. It now has a little over 70000 miles and i am seeing where others have this same problem. This is not a fluke but sounds like a defect on these mustangs. It is not a cheap fix and ford needs to step up to the plate and a recall needs to be done. This is a safety hazard that needs to be repaired.
The fuel tank is very difficult to get fuel in when the tank is over 1/4 full.this has been going on since i bought the car and ford recognizes the problem but doesn't have a fix.i have been told to try other gas stations.it doesn't matter which gas station or how the hose is positioned.
I purchased a 2005 ford mustang v6. From day 1 i experienced trouble trying to fill my gas tank up. It keeps spitting like it is full when it is empty. I feel this should be a recall.
On more than one occasion (approx. 3 total), when attempting to refuel the gas tank, the handle will release as if the tank was full after less than a gallon has been added.this has happened at multiple gas stations, including one i visit often.when this happens, it is necessary to hold the fueling handle because it will constantly release if the handle lock is used.
While fueling the car the no matter which i tried the pump kept cutting off as if the tank was full had to hold the nozzel almost upside down to have any fuel go into the tank.
Several trips have been made to the dealership for repairs.the gas tank was replaced because it wouldn't allow the pump to fill up the tank.problem still happens occasionally.the fuel gauge stopped working and the service department could not repair it.the gauge will not always show the correct amount of fuel.it seems to take several miles and several starts to correctly display the amount of fuel. I never really know how much i should trust its accuracy. The fule gauge was replaced and it did not work any better. Ford engineers asked that i use 3 tanks of premium gasoline with techron in order to clean the sensor.this did not work.now ford is working on the problem and still has no solution.the shaker 500 cd player was replaced when the cd's wouldn't play and would not allow the cd's to be removed.bushings were replaced when clicking noise was heard while turning.
When putting gas in the car, the gas pump clicks off continuously as if the tank were full.you have to continue engaging the pump over and over to fill the tank.
2005 ford mustang with parking brake problems which caused the vehicle to be damaged after rolling down a hill.consumer is also expressing discontent with the ford company.the consumer stated the door handles were replaced three times,the convertible top had to be replaced, a new fuel pump was needed which was recalled, a new radio was installed, and the battery was replaced twice.
Since i purchased my mustang 30 days ago it's been in the shop four times for the same problem.the first time they could not find anything wrong, the second time it was the canister valve, the third time the fuel pump module, and now they don't know again.the car stalls and refuses to start.i called ford motor's roadside assistance on friday 11/18/05 for the fifth time because my car would not start.the gentlemen had me push a button to reset the fuel pump and the car started.ford also reneged on their promise to offer me a loaner car, stating i exhausted that benefit, however that makes absolutely no sense because if they had fixed the problem the first time, i would not have had to miss so many days from work and delayed my vacation because i cannot rely on my vehicle.
2005 ford mustangfuel system, replaced due to system failure when filling car with gas, it broke again ford will not or can not fix, manual 5-speed transmissions replaced 2 times and going out again, car at ford 28 days in last 6 months for warranty repairs, ford denies the car is a lemon.
Fuel tank and inlet tube fails to fill properly.gasoline splash back on to motorist at filling station. Tried to put convertible top down, catastrophic failure of convertible top frame and hardware. No forewarning.
The gas tank is very hard to fill if the tank is over 1/4 tank. It doesn't matter what gas station you use or how the handle is positioned.the automatic fuel shutoff feature of the gas handle will shut off as if there were back pressure.
Hesitation getting fuel when stepping on accelerator- usually occurs after car has been running for a while.after coming to a stop or turn, the hesitation occursknown problem by ford engineers according to service- no fix available.this problem has almost caused me three collisions.
The gas tank on my 2005 ford mustang v6 overflows when i fill it. I stop in advance of the tank being full then the fuel comes up and out the fill tube sometimes with enough force to splash onto my clothing. This happens every time i fill the tank and i have taken to not filling the tank completely any longer. This is after the tank was replaced by my local ford dealership where i purchased the vehicle. The tank was replaced because the fuel would not continuously flow from the pump(pump would shut off after about 1 second of fueling) causing me to spend 10 minutes or more at the pump at each fill up.
Difficulty in filling fuel tank. I have had this problem from the time i purchased vehicle, to present. Vehicle is 2005 mustang gt and has over 5000 miles on it. Basically, approx. Every other time i try to fill fuel tank, one of two things happens: (1) fuel nozzle will almost immediately shut off- as if tank is already full. After multiple attempts (waiting, experimenting with angle and/or depth of nozzle insertion) i can almost always get fuel to start flowing into the tank. That's when symptom (2) can happen (again, roughly half of time i pull into station). At about the point when tank is half full, the nozzle will stop filling (as if tank is full) and will refuse to take anymore gas no matter what i do.i have experimented with different gas stations, and even with different pumps at same station and have yet to determine a pattern - or why this happens so randomly. One thing i'm sure of is that it's the vehicle's problem, as other cars i have had recently never did this.i have seen that this issue is known about by ford and a tsb has been issued. However, from forum posts i've seen on internet, it appears that fuel tank replacements ford has done for this issue many times do not fix issue. For that reason, i have lived with this annoyance so far.
1)rattle sound coming from exhaust area when taking off in car.2)cd's skip or won't play sometimes with shaker 10003) passenger side airbag light comes on and off while driving all the time by itself.4) having trouble filling tank with gas at most gas stations.5)have been hearing a squeak sound coming from drivers side dashboard near windshield area.
Dt:consumer complained about fuel system problem.therewere 2 unit systems.whengoing from stop to start the car hesitated, andit tookat least 2 or 3 seconds before it went backto normal. Dealer had seen this car, and ordered apart for thereplacementoffuel system. They saidthe parts would be in four to five days.dealer told consumerto drive the car normally. But hesitation recurred.
2005 mustang brand new has faulty gas tank. I was unable to put gas in tank.dealer is ordering a new tank from manufacturer to be replaced. Also replaced front upper strut bearings and lower sleeves brackets that where defective. Everytime i made turns in vehicle i heard clicking noises. Also trunk latch is getting replaced due to trunk wont unlock with remote key. Part is on order as well as gas tank. There is to many of these gas tank problems that other consumers are having for ford not to recall them or investigate.same goes for the struts.
Initial problems:1. Pin strip on driver side was peeling off2. A/c vent fell out of console3. Convertible top got stuck in the down position.stopped by closest dealer because i was on vacation and we pulled the top back up.brought it to a local dealer for repairs and they said it was not covered under warranty because the entire convertible top frame was twisted.they stated this was because i most likely had driven while the top was half way up/down.after several weeks ford engineers decided to cover the repairs for the top.took the dealer five weeks to get all parts and replace the top.4. Gas tank replaced because gas pumps would constantly cut off while refueling.5. A/c makes popping noise every once in while.current issues:1. Noise in front end while turning at slow speeds 2. After car warms to driving temperature, there is a thumping noise heard in engine, very prominent in interior3. Driver side exterior door handle sticks in the out position4. Convertible top making a thud noise when raising and lowering top5. Exhaust is making a popping noise when if engine is revved right after starting the car6. Slight vibration/rattling noise coming from console while car idles7. A/c making popping noise every once in while.
Dt:contact states. The pinion gear (which the consumer says is part of the rear end) is bad on his 2005 convertible ford mustang diagnosed by the dealer. The manufacturer says there is no fix for this. The dealer says they cannot get the parts because ford will not relinquish the parts. The dealer and the manufacturer tells him there is an indefinite backorder on the parts. The vehicle has 4500 miles on it. He also cannot put the convertible top up or down on the vehicle. The motor on the topis blown up and the dealer and the manufacturer do not have a new one and refuse to give him the old pump back. They have told him there is no fix for the convertible top. He can only put one half gallon of gas in the car at a time because the gas pump clicks on/off telling him the gas tank is full. The dealer has diagnosed that the gas tank is bad and has ordered a new gas tank that will be there on 7-29-05 which is covered by the warranty. Other was selected as the component for the pinion gear because the consumer was not sure where the pinion gear was located .
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang.the contact stated that the fuel tank would not receive fuel. Itwould eject from the fuel tank.the failure occurred intermittently.the dealer acknowledged the failure, but could not provide a remedy.secondly, the dealer added that the split fuel tanks have smaller hoses, which may cause an inadequate intake of fuel in the fuel lines.the manufacturer did not assist.the failure mileage was 500 and current mileage was 70,988. Updated 10-29-08 updated 10/30/08.
Dt*: the contact stated while attempting to fill the gas tank with gasoline, upon insertion of the gas nozzle in the filler neck, the fuel tank sensor provides a false reading as though the tank is full, but is low or empty.there is a clicking noise from the tank area.the vehicle was seen by a dealer.the service department suggested there was a pressure relief problem.the dealer replaced the entire fuel tank assembly, but the problem continued to exist. Updated 2/21/2006 -
There have been no crashes or injuries, but i am concerned about something.when i fill my gas tank, it seems as if there is some kind of "vapor lock" or something that keeps causing the gas pump to kick off.....i have to reposition the hose and try varying amounts of pressure on the nozzle to get the gasoline to flow into the tank.on occasion, gas has spewed back out of the tank from the nozzle.it seems to be worse when the tank is near empty or i've been driving for a long period of time.
Cannot fill up gas tank.once the tank is half full, the pump stops.this has happened twice - first time on 6/12/2005 & 6/22/2005.we purchased the 2005 mustang on 6/1/05 and could only fill it up once without the pump stopping.the car was looked at by a ford dealership and a new gas tank has been ordered.will follow-up in the next few weeks to see if this will correct the problem.
Intermittently will not allow a full fill-up on gas.several different gas stations tested.only allows for half tank fillup.seems to worsen when the weather is cold.
Dt*: the contact stated while fueling the vehicle, the fuel pump shut off before the tank was full.in order to fill the tank, the contact had to trick the sensor by putting the nozzle in the middle and continued pumping.this caused the contact to guess at when the tank was actually full and would sometimes lead to overfilling the tank causing gasoline to spill onto the pavement.
Pinion gear in rear end whined while traveling on interstate during weekend trip. Stopped at ford dealership where a technician road tested and examined vehicle. Stated that we could drive and still finish weekend trip but to contact purchase dealership for warranty work. That was done the parts took 5 weeks to come in for the 2005 gt mustang. Repair completed and car running nearly fine.on occassions we have difficulty fueling . The gas fuel pump at the station will click off and we get only partially fuel the gt.
Purchased our 2005 mustang convertible on 4/27/05, after waiting two months for it to be built.started having a problem with vehicle taking in fuel after about a month of ownership.tried several gas stations to be sure it wasn't a pump problem, but made no difference.called don reid ford in july and asked about problem and was informed there was a service bulletin on the issue and they ordered a new gas tank.tank was installed on 8/4/05 and filled up without a problem for the first 2 tanks.after that the gas pump started clicking off again after the third fill up.tried different gas stations again and had the same results on the next two fill ups.took vehicle back to dealer on 9/12/05 and was told they would have to test some things and call a ford engineer on the matter.was called by my service advisor on 8/14/05 and told that ford was aware of the problem and the engineer told my advisor and the service manager that "if all the stars were aligned, they would have a fix in about 90 days."i was told by my service advisor that i should try using gas stations with slower pumps until they get the fix...and i paid $27,570 for that answer???
Purchased my mustang on 4-05 and have had one problem after another. I brought car in on 12-05 for gas tank problem because i can't fill my gas tank up it keeps shutting off like it's full.i have to hold the nozzle upside down to get gas in my tank and stand back from it because it throws gas back at me. They said that they updated gas tank still problem.6-2-06 took car in for same problem said they could'nt fix it and try using other gas stations tried that same problem.6-8-06 received phone call from the service mgr said they can fix my problem can you bring it in.6-13-06 brought car in for gas tank and hesitation in gas pedal which almost caused me to get in an accident.6-13-06 received phone call said they could not fix the problem with tank orgas pedal. I ask to speak to the gen mgr i explained my problems to him and he didn't want to listen to what i had to say that i needed to talk to the service mgr. I had to explain the problem again to the service mgr that they couldn't fix it. So why didyou call me on 6-8-06 an ask me to bring it back in.the service mgr said this was not acceptable that he would take care of it .received phone call on 6-14-05 said they found the problem with gas pedal that it's the fuel pump and the tank that there going to re-route the filler neck hose and this should fix the problem. They said they will call me on 6-15-06 and let me know the outcome.6-16-06 ipicked up my car and they said they tried to re-route the line and it still diid'nt work. I followed up with the service mgr that i don't want this car anymore and demanded my money back. He said that a factory rep would be contacting me and would be asking me a few questions and then we would be starting the paperwork.6-20-06 received phone call on my cellfrom service mgr stating that he had spoke to the factory rep. Andhe said that there's nothing more that the dealer can do for me on my car he told the service manager to tell me to call consumer affairs.
Vehicle regularly stalls out at stops and/or loses power (accelerator will not give proper power to vehicle) so that in an intersection there is no ability to get vehicle out of traffic safely.also will lurch forward at stops on its own (with no power given to accelerator) which poses a safety issue for other drivers and/or pedestrians in my path.
Dt*:the contact stated while using the fuel pumps at various service stations fuel would spill out.the fuel spills from the tank before the automatic shutoff.after inspecting the vehicle the dealership replaced the breather tube and the fuel tank.the problem continued to occur.the vehicle was taken back to the dealer and was unable to remedy the problem.there are service bulletins for the fuel system, the manufacturer numbers are 05-15-12 and 06-3-13.the contact tried different gas pumps and different gas stations with the same results. Sometimes it is so bad that one cannot even get more than a couplegallons into the car, while having it spill and run down the side and on the underside of the car.
Dt: the contact stated while driving on the freeway vehicle stalled.she managed to get the vehicle to the side of the road. The vehicle was then towed home because it was too late to have it towed to the dealership. The next morning the vehicle was towed to the dealership. The fuel pump module was changed. Repairs to the vehicle where made under warranty.
Low speed idle surge.
My 2005 mustang gt has had several problems since ownership.i purchased this car new and even had to order the details i wanted on the car.since ownership, i have had the car into the service department on several occasions.there is a vibration that has been unable to be identified as of yet.despite the service departments calls to ford.vibration is still present.the other problem is the fuel gauge drops to "e" and an error light comes on.service dept. Was unable to detect problem until the service engine light remained on.computer code said that the problem was in the sulfur in the fuel.am to suppose to add an additive to fuel occasionally.feel that this should be totally unnecessary since high-quality fuel is used and it is a new vehicle.apparently a service bulletin came out stating this problem.the fuel tanks are the same in other vehicles but this is a mustang problem????this problem should be fixed without any other costs to consumers.also, not being able to fill fuel tax to maximum capacity.was told that it must have had an "air bubble."the service department at ford in grand junction colorado is trying very hard to fix the problems but is getting no where with ford. I have my car in more times then i can drive it.they have now had the car 4 days!!!! i then received a recall on an item on my 2006 ford f150 king ranch.what is up ford??? two new vehicles, too many problems.
Unable to fill fuel tank.pump kicks off after a few seconds and will not fill tank.dealer replaced gas tank per ford tech line.problem was gone for about 1 month now having trouble again at certain gas stations.dealer called ford tech line again and was told that i would have to use gas stations that worked for filling gas tank and also was told the enginers at ford were no longer working on this issue. There is another person in the area with the same car having the same problem.if you would like his information please contact me.
When i shift from park or neutral position to drive, the car surges forward. This has happened both when the car is in driveway stationary and intermittently at a stoplight.the date below that is required is incorrect; it has been doing it since i got the car i believe in feb 2005, but i didn't think of it being a safety issue until it was passed down to my daughter this year; for someone that isn't prepared, it could easily cause an accident
When trying to fill the gas tank fuel backed out of the filler tube and would not enter the tank.gas spilled out onto the ground.
The instrument cluster on my 2005 ford mustang has a shortage or is defective.based on internet research and a discussion with an authorized ford dealership and my long time auto mechanic, this is a part that should not fail at 73,000 miles. While ford has not issued a recall, there is an obvious manufacture defect, as there have been numerous complaints and issues reported.when a gauge (fuel, temperature, battery, etc) fails on this vehicle, the entire instrument cluster must be replaced.this is a costly part and service fee (over $900) for something that should not be defective or have issues with a car of this age. When the instrument cluster signals an issue to the internal computer, the vehicle may go into a "fail safe mode" and the car will not operate.ford needs to issue a recall for this part and replace it at no cost to the owner.
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.
Automatic transmission has trouble shifting into low gear. Doesn't want to accelerate after stopping. Sounds as if it is stuck in a gear. Have read many complaints about this online and ford just claims it isn't their problem. Also, all gauges quit working at approx 70,000 miles. Fuel system is terrible. Will not pump gas past half a tank and spits gas back out while pumping like its full. Causes pump to constantly shut off. All of these are incredibly dangerous and makes this car unsafe to drive.
Over time, the vehicle gas tank has developed a condition where filling up the tank prematurely causes the gas pump to shut off prior to the tank being full of gas. Typically after only a few seconds. If you try to engage the pump again, a buildup of pressure can cause gasoline to shoot back out of the tank and all over the ground and the person pumping gas. The only way around this is to fill the tank with the nozzle upside down. Somehow this disengages whatever safety mechanism the gas pump has, and allows the user to pump a full tank of gas. Ford even has a tsb related to this issue. It states something to the point of a design flaw in the gas tank. It's only remedy is to replace the tank, or they literally suggest going to a different gas station. Some pumps are different and that used to work, but at this point there is not pump that i do not encounter this issue with.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated while refueling the vehicle, the fuel splashed out the vehicle although the fuel in the tank was low. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated it was a defective fuel tank. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure was reported to the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 15,000. The current mileage was 28,000.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the temperature gauge became inoperable with no symptoms of the engine over heating. A certified mechanic replaced the thermostat and temperature gauge. The failure persisted after the repair was performed. In addition, an independent mechanic diagnosed the vehicle where a trouble code was not detected. Recently the fuel gauge failed to operate. The vehicle had not been repaired for either one of the defects. The manufacturer was notified and they informed that there was not a recall related to the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
None of the gauges work. I have to drive pacing myself with other vehicles. Only the icon for gas needed comes on when the gas is low. Starting after about 10,000 miles on the car i have had increasing problems getting fuel in the car. Not just myself, but anyone that tries to fuel the car. I initially started holding the fuel nozzle upside down to get gas and that worked for a few years. (although you look like a dumb ass that doesn't know how to put gas in a car!) this last year it has gotten so bad that i am lucky to get 2 gallons in it, and that is with it repeatedly shutting off.since day one the right front wheel makes a grinding/clunking noise when i turn the tire in either direction. It makes me feel like the wheel will fall off. My cars body assembly is also crap. The front lower grill has popped off and disappeared. I have seen several, at least 10 other mustangs of this year missing the same part. The plastic, yes plastic!, screws pop out. The places where the inside seams of the car are supposed to connect are detached. The light enclosure in the trunkwill not stay attached. The seat handles fall off.i only have 50,000 miles on this car. Repair shops tell me to wait for a recall, when is that going to happen?
I have a very hard time putting gas in my car . Allows me to only put a little at a time. It is very frusterating. I shouldn't have this problem every time i put gas.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. While attempting to refuel the vehicle, fuel spewed out during every gallon. The contact mentioned that the fuel gauge worked only if the vehicle was on an incline. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel gauge needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,500.
Purchased the vehicle used and every time i go to fill up the vehicle with gasoline it seems to be dificult to insert the nozzle all the way in and gasoline spits out. No record of accidents claims and visual inspection doesn't seem to show any damage to the assembly. No unusual bends in the neck of the receiver where you insert the nozzle.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that the fuel gauge failed. The contact attempted to refuel the vehicle but the fuel could not be added. In addition, the fuel gauge would not provide accurate readings. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for inspection where they informed her that the fuel tank needed to be removed and repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and they stated that there was nothing that they could do to assist. The failure mileage was 50,000. Updated 08/28/12*lj updated 09/04/2012
I got in my car an started the engine. I then noticed my fuel gauge and speedometer were not working at all. I have always taken care of my mustang an i think ford should recall the cluster. There's been plenty of 2005models with very same issue. Please recall the gauge cluster it's the right thing to do for a big name company like ford.
Takata recall as well as problems filling the gas tank. While stationary trying to pump gas in to the gas tank the gas pump will shut off after pumping no ore than 1/16 of a tank then requiring you to dribble gas in to the tank with the pump regularly shutting off every few seconds and never filling the tank with out the pump shutting off completely, and this happens at all pumps in every state and every brand of gas. Once you pump as much gas as the pump will allow you have to hold te throttle pedal down to the floor to get the car to start and then you have to feather the pedal to keep the engine running which causes the engine to race and is very dangerous.
Dash cluster stops working no fuel, temp, no speed. Sometimes everything stops working. If i restart car it seems to reset its self.when trying to fill up gas tank it won't allow fuel to go in shuts pump off splashes out, found that ifi hold fuel nozzle upside down i can get some gas in but takes about 10-15 mins to fill tank. These problems occur every week.i have not received notice yet of recall for airbag. Ford should recall gas tank problem and dash clusters seems like 2005 years have issues!
Gas pedal stuck going down hill resulting in auto running off road and over a cliff. The driver is on life support, the passenger paralyzed with a broken back. The pedal stuck one time before and it was not thought to be a recurring problem. As a result of the serious injuries, i am filing for them.
Throttle body failed as i was driving at speed on the freeway. When it failed, the vehicle immediately went into idle mode which made it very dangerous to avoid traffic as i attempted to move onto the shoulder of the freeway. The car moved at no more than 5mph! the repair is very expensive. I feel that this part should not fail after just 76,000 miles. Attached is the repair bill.
Driving on highway engine light came on then fuel gauge went to 0 and speedometer down to 10 miles per hour and gauge flickered back up to 35..almost causing an accident not knowing what was happening.past 6 months when fueling my car gas pump keeps kicking off, not sure if it could cause a fire, takes 15 minutes to fuel up.i will never buy a ford again.
Since about a year ago, november 2013, this vehicle has shown multiple issues. To start, it is an automatic 05 mustang which, the more i read online, the more that i seem to find that many have these exact same or very similar issues. Initially the dash cluster (everything besides the tachometer) was not functioning properly. The speedometer would get stuck at 20 mph but still move acting as though the 20 mph was the 0 mph mark (so 35 mph = 15 mph). More recently the gas gauge has stopped working, it sits at empty even after plenty of gas has been put into it. The temperature gauge also gets stuck often, still moving as the speedometer does. Not too long after these issues started occurring, when i went to fill up the gas tank it wouldn't take the gas as it normally would. Sometimes only a couple dollars worth would be in before it clicked off. After paying closer attention i have also noticed sometimes gas actually splashes out when filling it up even though it is definitely not full. Much more recently the vehicle hasworrying issues. At one point while driving on the freeway at 70 mph the vehicle suddenly started to decelerate on its own, even while i was pressing on the gas pedal. I pulled it off to the side, shut it off completely, started it up and it was as though nothing happened. Ever since that incident though it has been running a bit louder and now it seems a possible misfire is happening with one of the cylinders occasionally. The vehicle has a delayed and very hard shift from third to fourth gear. It is not as though the vehicle has not been taken care of, and for a 2005 the mileage is pretty low still. At least one or two of these issues seem to be a safety concern, and it is very obvious after researching online that these issues are prevalent in tons of these exact same vehicles.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that when refueling the vehicle after a gallon of fuel, some fuel would spew out and onto the contact. The vehicle taken to a dealer where they refused to diagnosis or repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of failure. The failure mileage was 35,600.
I was driving at night at around 30mph when everything electrical went dead in my car including headlights and dashboard but the engine was still running. I was able to drive the car home but could not start it the next morning. Had to flat bed it to the dealership where they told me the whole computer system failed and had to be replaced. This happened 3 more time since then. Each time i was charged $3000 to have it replaced. It shouldn't happen once let alone 3 times. Another recent problem, my engine caught fire causing everything on the left side of my car to be replaced. Ford denied any "real problems they could find". Also had my gas tank replaced twice because it wouldn't fill up. And to add to everything, my gearshift needs to be replaced because a little plastic piece that hides the holes when u shift up or down, broke. $600 estimate at ford. As well as my engine smoking after driving for 2 hours at 65-70 mph. Do not buy a ford. Iv'e spent over $12k fixing the problems that i never caused. Ford refused to pay a dime or take any responsibility. Too many problems causing unsafe situations for me as well as other drivers and pedestrians around me.## vin failed ##
One incident, driving home from work when car ran out of gas and saw the as gas guage indicator facing straight down, temperature guage and the tachometer was not working. The car ran out of gas on major high way and my daughter alone stuck on the road at 3 am with large trucks passing by. She had believed the car had plenty of gas. The guages are still not fixed properly do not work at 100777 miles.
Gas gauge stopped working. Always shows empty.
The contact was a witness to the failure in a 2005 ford mustang.while lifting the front driver and passenger seat side latches, which operate the movement of the seat to the back seat, the latch shattered into several pieces.the owner was unable to access the back seat due to this failure.there was no warning prior to this failure.the vehicle has not been repaired.the contact is the owner of a vehicle of the same year, make, and model; therefore, he was concerned of the safety risk involved.the vin and failure mileage were unknown.
Dt:2005 ford mustang gt -had anelectrical system problem which resulted in a crash.while turning off of the highway into a residential area the transmission malfunctioned causing uncontrollable acceleration.the brakes were appliedbut the vehicle continued to accelerate. The front brakes did not stop the vehicle.the vehicle went into a clock wise spin.the car turned onto the driver's side and then hit a tree.what happened next was that the electrical system was still acting strange, the trunk opened andtryingto closeit back down the lights came off and on. The door locks would lock and unlock by themselves. The vehicle had $6,300 worth of damage. The dealership didnot assist the consumerwith anything.the vehicle was purchased on august 29, 2005 as a new vehicle which only had 72 miles on it. Upon impact the airbags did not deploy and the fuel cut off switch did not activate.a police report was taken.*mr
2005 ford mustang with parking brake problems which caused the vehicle to be damaged after rolling down a hill.consumer is also expressing discontent with the ford company.the consumer stated the door handles were replaced three times,the convertible top had to be replaced, a new fuel pump was needed which was recalled, a new radio was installed, and the battery was replaced twice.
2005 mustang brand new has faulty gas tank. I was unable to put gas in tank.dealer is ordering a new tank from manufacturer to be replaced. Also replaced front upper strut bearings and lower sleeves brackets that where defective. Everytime i made turns in vehicle i heard clicking noises. Also trunk latch is getting replaced due to trunk wont unlock with remote key. Part is on order as well as gas tank. There is to many of these gas tank problems that other consumers are having for ford not to recall them or investigate.same goes for the struts.
2005 ford mustangfuel system, replaced due to system failure when filling car with gas, it broke again ford will not or can not fix, manual 5-speed transmissions replaced 2 times and going out again, car at ford 28 days in last 6 months for warranty repairs, ford denies the car is a lemon.
The parking brake cable on my 2005 mustang froze up and would not release.this causes the car to be not drivable as the rear brakes do not releasetw*
Water leak in passenger side kick panel ford knew of water leak issue when vehicle was manufactured. I had about an inch of water on my passenger floorboard after a storm. Also rear brakes stick after using emergency brake.if i ever have to use my e-brake in an emergency the rear wheels will lock up and be even more of a hazard and danger. Both these issues are very safety related. Searching the internet you will find literally hundreds if not thousands of complaints about this water leak and e-brake damage issue. Please do something about this. I am currently thinking of suing ford for the water leak and the fact that the technician at the dealership admitted this is a known ford problem but not enough people have complained for them to care...
In the winter of 2006, i had to bring in my car in for the dealership to fix the parking brake. What happened was, the brake cable split somewhere allowing moisture to collect. When the parking brake was applied it would cause that moisture to freeze, with the result of locked brakes. This has also happened in 2007. The car is no longer on warranty so i don't bother getting it fixed anymore, knowing it will just happen again. Instead i just park on flat areas and leave it in gear. Ford has never offered a valid solution other than bring it in every time it breaks. Not impressed!
The parking brake freezes when i use my ebrake and i can't drive till the ice in the boot is melted. It wears my brakes and happens anytime i use it.
Freezing temperatures and snow led me to use the parking brake on hill overnight.the next morning the rear brakes did not disengage despite releasing the e brake handle which turned off the sensor.i did not attribute the difficulty of the drive to the brakes as there was lots of snow in the parking lot and the light sensor was off.the car was driven half mile, and when i parked, i was inspecting the rotors, the temperature of which immediately burnt a hole in my winter glove.i called the dealer to ask about problem and they seemed like it was the first time they have heard about it, but there are numerous online posts relating to the same issue.has not yet been fixed, as i am in process of trying to figure out if this is a problem the dealer should cover, or if i am going to have to pay for it out of pocket.it would seem as though a safety recall should have been issued for this problem since the parking brake is a safety feature and this is not a part that normally goes bad under normal wear and tear conditions.please continue to make ford aware of the extremely disappointed owners they have due to their refusal to take care of this safety issue.
I have a 2005 ford mustang and went to go to work and my emergency brake will not release.i can not drive my car.left it running for 20 minutes to let it warm up but it still will not release.this happened when i first got the car new and the dealership replaced the brake stating it was a defect.but now its doing the same thing.
Rear brake cable freeze. E brake loose.
I own a 2005 ford mustang and the parking brake will not release correctly and wears my back brakes and rotors prematurely.the parking brake sticking issue has happened numerous times and i have talked with the dealer i bought the car from and then to a different one to see if i got better results.i didn't!!!i feel like this should be covered by the warranty or a recall because it appears that many other mustang owners are experiencing the same problem.
Parking brake freezes in temperatures below 30 degrees.i have had the emergency brake cables replaced in 2006, but the failure is occurring in the winter of 2007/2008.
My 2005 ford mustang failed virginia state safety inspection due to all 3 emergency brake cables needing to be replaced. This is a known defect by ford (tsb 0654) and no recall has been issued. Numerous owners found on the www have similar complaints and have faced large repair cost ($500-700) as well as vehicles rolling out into the street causing accidents when left unattended on inclines. The parking brakes have locked up in cold weather. This in my opinion is a safety item and should be recalled and repaired immediately. Please make ford issue a recall before someone really gets hurt.
Upon following the instructions in the manufacturer issued owner's manual which states "to set the parking brake, pull the parking brake handle up as far as possible", i experienced a loud popping sound followed by the inability to use previously mentioned parking brake since the cables had been snapped.i have seen that there are numerous issues and complaints pertaining to the parking brake/parking brake cables with 2005 ford mustangs, but it appears that nothing has been done to resolve this issue even though ford has acknowledged the inefficiency of these cables by replacing them in the 2007 and later mustang models.the rubber coating of these cables is apparently inefficient in keeping moisture and water out of the cable itself as expressed by many unhappy ford mustang owners, which in turn caused my cables to rust and eventually snap.i find it extremely alarming that this is such a prevalent complaint yet nothing has been done to remedy this problem by either ford or the nhtsa.had the owner's manual issued by ford not said "pull the parking brake handle up as far as possible" my issue and possibly many others would not have come to fruition, since in an attempt to secure my vehicle based on the manufacturer's instructions my parking brake cables broke as a result of the faulty rubber coating.also, there is a good chance i would have not encountered this problem had the owner's manual stated to only raise the parking brake until a fair amount of tension is felt.however, the issue i experienced would have most likely been inevitable given the numerous issues and complaints already surrounding the problems with the parking brake and cable, so luckily i experienced this problem without myself or anyone else suffering any injuries. Something needs to be done about this issue as it is extraordinarily unfair to put the responsibility of repair on the consumer when the manufacturer could have taken steps to fix this issue, and has done so in later models.
Parking brake fails to release fully when temperatures are below 30 degree f.if your are not familiar if car, it could go unnoticed, causing overheating of the rear brakes and possible wheel bearings failure.has not been repaired as of 2/6/07.waiting for temperature rise before taking to dealer.
In low temperatures, below freezing, the parking brake will freeze.the cable has been replaced by the dealership 2x under warranty, yet the problem remains unfixed.
2005 ford mustang with parking brake problems which caused the vehicle to be damaged after rolling down a hill.consumer is also expressing discontent with the ford company.the consumer stated the door handles were replaced three times,the convertible top had to be replaced, a new fuel pump was needed which was recalled, a new radio was installed, and the battery was replaced twice.
The emergency brake on my 2005 mustang began freezing up and wouldn't release. Shortly after this began to occur the brake discontinued to work at all. After shelling out $300+ for a completely new emergency brake assembly, the same problem is back again. My guess is they have a design flaw in this assembly.
E-brake malfunction on a 2005 ford mustang v6.i leave the car in gear all the time because of the issue.my vehicle rolled down a hill over a curb and caused $980 worth of damage to the condenser and radiator.apparently ford said the e-cord is wrapped all around the unit and i need a replacement at $565.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that all of the gauges on the instrument panel stopped working and water was leaking under the passengers side floor board. The parking brake also became stuck and the cable needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the technician verified that the water was leaking through the engine compartment but was not able to determine how to repair it. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 10,000 and the current mileage was 110,000.
Hand brakes are not locking or releasing properly, i had my car parked in my garage, i was warming it up, i pulled on the emergency brakes and went home to get something from inside the house and when i came back the car was already on the street with a dent, the hand brake did not lock, luckily no kids were there at thetime, or a stroller. When releasing the hand brake it locks up it does not release and when driving it, it over heats the whole wheel.
The parking brake calipers and pads freeze and will not release when temperature drops below 32 degrees--while the handle is fully released inside the vehicle. When in neutral and pushed car will not roll, and when in gear and given gas car barely budges. Taken twice to dealership--by tow truck--but when arrived temperature had risen above 32 degrees and pads etc had released. Dealership has not yet been able to reproduce the problem. Dealership inspected entire assembly twice and found no problems. No repairs have been made. I am a firefighter/emt first responder and respond in my personal vehicle to fires/accidents/medical emergencies etc. Having a car that does not operate correctly in cold weather is not an option for me.
Over the winter my ford 2005 mustang v6 had an issue. The emergency brake would freeze up. You would not beagle to move the car, until the thing d-iced. Now months later, due to this issue happening in the winter, finally the e brake got stuck in a position where the car could drive, but the brake pads and rotors were tore up in the process. The dealer is going to charge me $700 dollars to have all this fixed (new rear brakes and to fix the cable) ford put out an internal memo about this issue, why is there no recall on it. If you search the internet there are many others who have this issue.
My 2005 ford mustang parking brake cable has locked up each of the last two winters.i have read several similar incidents.the 2nd time my dealer suggested i not use the parking brake in winter.why has ford not recalled and redesigned this part?
In december the temp. Got down to 17 degrees, because of the cold weather my emergency brake locked my back wheels up.i took it into the ford company and they unlocked them.i was told that they had froze and needed to be replaced or not to use emergency brake until it warmed back up.
I was driving down the road at the speed limit when all of a sudden the engine light came on and the car immediately stalled.i had to pull over to the shoulder and put my hazards on so i didn't get hit from behind or cause a dangerous accident to the other motorists.i turned off the car, left the hazards on and waited a few minutes before starting it up again.it started thankfully and i was able to pull into a parking lot safely to avoid an accident.very frightening experience.eventually someone was able to come and help me get my car home.we believe that the incident had something to do with the defective throttle body, and throttle body sensor.ford should have recalled this problem and pay for their faulty parts.this car is a 2005 ford mustang convertible with a v6 engine.
Speedometer and tachometer needle does not function correctly. Speedometer does not move half the time from resting position and the tachometer will rotate all the way around and stay where it is when the car is turned off. The battery, oil, and temp needles do not move from off position half the time.transmission does not shift smoothly and shifts harder going from second to third.
Car vibrates/rumbles excessively at 70 mph, started 3000-4000 miles after i bought car. Also front end clunks like car with 100,000 miles on it. After numerous trips to dealer ford corporate only states that this is normal for the vehicle?
In heavy city traffic, stepped on gas to accelerate, car would not go. Kept giving gas would finally respond. Did this several times in one day. Next time we tried to drive it "engine safe mode" light came on and car would not accelerate at all. Through research and talking to others determined that it is thethrottle body (drive by wire) a known problem with some ford vehicles.talked to the ford dealer where we bought the car and the service person we spoke to told us it would be covered by ford's extended warranty in response to csp 13n03. Took the car in today for appointment and they said it was not covered by that extended warranty andthat consumer satisfaction program 13n03 did not pertain to a mustang. Does not seem right to us that our car would not be covered when research has shown that mustang's have had the same problem and the same "drive by wire" system.we are left being responsible for over $500 in costs for this repair.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. While driving 35 mph, a piece on the clutch of the vehicle fractured. The contact was unable to switch gears. The failure almost caused a crash. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 118,000.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the vehicle would make a loud rattling noise. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since her vehicle was not included in any recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 3,500 and the current mileage was 30,000.
Automatic transmission has trouble shifting into low gear. Doesn't want to accelerate after stopping. Sounds as if it is stuck in a gear. Have read many complaints about this online and ford just claims it isn't their problem. Also, all gauges quit working at approx 70,000 miles. Fuel system is terrible. Will not pump gas past half a tank and spits gas back out while pumping like its full. Causes pump to constantly shut off. All of these are incredibly dangerous and makes this car unsafe to drive.
Throttle body failed as i was driving at speed on the freeway. When it failed, the vehicle immediately went into idle mode which made it very dangerous to avoid traffic as i attempted to move onto the shoulder of the freeway. The car moved at no more than 5mph! the repair is very expensive. I feel that this part should not fail after just 76,000 miles. Attached is the repair bill.
The transmission failed.i was driving home from work and the car would only go in second gear.i made it to my mom's business and had it towed to ford dealership after talking to a ford customer service rep.the dealer told me the transmission would have to be replaced.every transmission place i talked to said that these transmissions are failing in all of the ford vehicles that have them between 60,000 and 90,000 miles.ford refuses to fix or replace the transmission because i didn't buy an extended warranty.it is going to cost me several thousand dollars to replace this transmission.there is a defect in these transmissions and all of them should be recalled and ford held responsible for the costs. My car isn't fixed yet because i don't have the money to do so.i have a 3 and a half year old mustang i cant drive that i am paying for.
Problen 1: when slowing to a stop, maybe 5 mph or so, then pressing on the gas pedalto accelerate, the engine rpm's increase as if the transmission is in neutral, then jumps into gear causing a sudden jerk forward. The problem has been reported and confirmed by ford dealership.problem 2: started vehicle, with foot on brake put in reverse and heard a strange noise and blue smoke outside passenger window. The right rear tire was "burning rubber" pulled shift leaver back to nuetral and engine rpm normal. Possibly related to the problem above or i could ahave had my foor on brake and gas pedal at the same time but can not that easily.
When stopped suddenly the car will remain idle for about 30 seconds before it will kick back into gear. When this happens, car will roll backwards in drive. If you try to press the gas to force the car to move it will stall completely. Car has been doing it since 2007.ford dealership could not find anything wrong with it.car currently has 44,000 miles on it.also gas, temp and speedometer gauges have started going crazy the last three weeks.

While backing from my garage, i put the shifter into reverse. The car will pause and then a sudden jerk into reverse. The automatic transmission was recently flushed at the ford dealership prior to the start of this problem.
2005 mustang had routine automatic transmission flush done at 46k miles, prior to service no leaks, only complaints of noisy transmission.now transmission leaks, noticed some oil at a few hundreds wiped it clean thinking it was residue from the flush.at 50k checked again and leak in worse and took back to dealership (jones ford, n. Charleston, sc).dealer refused to cover the repair of the leak, stating leak was not caused by routine maintenance they performed, although states they do these routinely and occasionally cars come back leaking from the procedure.contacted ford motor crc and they stated it is a dealership service issue.dealership says it's not.yet i'm out to pay for a repair bill ca. Between $700 and $1000 depending on damage done.
At 60000 miles my transmission failed.it was leaking internally from the bell housing to the transmission.this caused the transmission to get hot.there were not outward signs of problems.no external leaks or any sensors warning me.since i could not afford the exorbitant extended warranty, i had to pay over $3000 to have it repaired. I think this is unfair to the consumer.my car is only half way paid off and i have heard since this has happened to me of other consumers having the same problem.i am a 43 year old woman and not a teenager hot rodding a car.i will never buy a ford again or use randall not dealership.
I purchased a 2005 ford mustang v6. The first thing to break was the plastic on the shifter that you put into gear. Then i started having trouble with gears not wanting to go into park. I am not the only one with this problem. My son bought a 2006 gt ford mustang and his is having the same problem. I will not buy another ford.
Clutch is jumpy starting off in 1st gear...i have to let it out almost all the way to get it to fully engage. Owned the car since dec, 7800 miles....all highway..feel like i have no power. .dealer told me to test it in the pking lot by revving it and letting the clutch out...even w/ twc off, barely a chirp!!!
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. While driving approximately 25 mph and attempting to switch gears, the clutch pedal was depressed and a crunch sound was heard. The clutch pedal traveled all the way to the floorboard. The contact had to maneuver the vehicle to the side of the road. The vehicle was switched to the neutral position and came to a complete stop. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was inspected and a piece of plastic was found fractured into two parts on the floor of the vehicle under the clutch pedal. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 190,000.
Pinion gear in rear end whined while traveling on interstate during weekend trip. Stopped at ford dealership where a technician road tested and examined vehicle. Stated that we could drive and still finish weekend trip but to contact purchase dealership for warranty work. That was done the parts took 5 weeks to come in for the 2005 gt mustang. Repair completed and car running nearly fine.on occassions we have difficulty fueling . The gas fuel pump at the station will click off and we get only partially fuel the gt.
2005 ford mustang accelerates on its own. Consumer states that the vehicle will accelerate on its own. He states that the rpm's would be up to 1500. He states that since then, now it accelerates up to 2500 rpm's.a flight recorder was installed in the vehicle. The flight recorder captured the problem the consumer was referring to. The flight recorder was then sent to ford engineering and they stated the computer was demanding the vehicle to accelerate. The consumer also stated the transmission did not shift smoothly. The transmission would clunk when the clutch was let out, especially in lower gears.
2005 ford mustangfuel system, replaced due to system failure when filling car with gas, it broke again ford will not or can not fix, manual 5-speed transmissions replaced 2 times and going out again, car at ford 28 days in last 6 months for warranty repairs, ford denies the car is a lemon.
Transmission stuck in neutral four times within the first six months. It happens when you are going slow and you shift into 1st gear and don't let the clutch out and you try to bring it back into 2nd gear. The 3 times it did this in parking lots it was not a scary problem but when it did this at a busy intersection i almost got rear ended. At first ford could not make it stick while testing and didn't know why it was doing this. Now they are saying when it does stick you either have to come to a dead stop( which i figured out myself) or double clutch it. I haven't double clutched a car since way back in the 60s. They say it has to do with the sensors not working at slow speeds. And they say there is no repair because it is a normal operating characteristic of this transmission. By the way this is the 2nd transmission put in this car. I hope you can help other people with this infobefore someone has a serious wreck. Thanks.
Initial problems:1. Pin strip on driver side was peeling off2. A/c vent fell out of console3. Convertible top got stuck in the down position.stopped by closest dealer because i was on vacation and we pulled the top back up.brought it to a local dealer for repairs and they said it was not covered under warranty because the entire convertible top frame was twisted.they stated this was because i most likely had driven while the top was half way up/down.after several weeks ford engineers decided to cover the repairs for the top.took the dealer five weeks to get all parts and replace the top.4. Gas tank replaced because gas pumps would constantly cut off while refueling.5. A/c makes popping noise every once in while.current issues:1. Noise in front end while turning at slow speeds 2. After car warms to driving temperature, there is a thumping noise heard in engine, very prominent in interior3. Driver side exterior door handle sticks in the out position4. Convertible top making a thud noise when raising and lowering top5. Exhaust is making a popping noise when if engine is revved right after starting the car6. Slight vibration/rattling noise coming from console while car idles7. A/c making popping noise every once in while.
(1 and 2) the manual transmission on the vehicle has intermittent problems where it will not go into gear (up-shifting).regardless of type of driving (fuel efficient, hard driving), the vehicle will lock out of the next gear.for example, from first to 2nd gear.the transmission will go approximately half-way into gear and stop.the result is an inability to continue accelerating.the vehicle must be taken out of the locked gear, put in neutral, clutch released and re-engaged, then shifted back into the previously attempted gear (2nd gear in the current example). Possible results of this incident include accidents and injury.i have almost been rear-ended several times. (3) the vehicle has been taken into service twice for the issue.the first time (june '05), the dealership adjusted the linkage resulting in no change.the dealership also told the consumer (me) to make sure the clutch was completely engaged.the second time (10/18/2005) the vehicle was put in for repair, the dealerships service advisor and service manager informed the consumer that it was a design flaw in the transmission.ford is "looking into it, but there is no solution available at this time and may not be available in the future.
Clutch is jumpy starting off in 1st gear...i have to let it out almost all the way to get it to fully engage. Owned the car since dec, 7800 miles....all highway..feel like i have no power. .dealer told me to test it in the pking lot by revving it and letting the clutch out...even w/ twc off, barely a chirp!!!
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. While driving 39 mph, an oncoming vehicle crashed into the drivers side of the contacts vehicle. The seat belt did not engage and the air bags did not deploy. The contact suffered a concussion. The vehicle was destroyed. The contact called the dealer who stated that they would give his information to the council and provide him with a response. The vehicle had not been repaired when the complaint was filed. The vin was unavailable. The current and failure mileages were approximately 49,000.
I was driving on the freeway rear ended a old nissan truck which resulted in me hitting my head against the steering wheel and totaling my car. I was going 40mph and my air bags did not deploy.
Went to lift passenger seat back and side seat release handle came off. Ford replaced handle and hardware. With wrong color was black now tan.
There was a recalll for default with the emergency brake andtakata airbag
My tachometer fail a few years ago. When i took it to the dealer, he said all mustang gauges fail and to be happy it wasn't the speedometer. Slowly over time all the electrical has been having problems. Sometimes the car won't start, all the gauges stop working, the check engine light goes on and off for no reason. Also the driver seat electrical failed, was replaced and failed again. I couldn't afford to have it fixed.
Dt: contact stated that there was a small amount of brake fluid that was leaking from the cap on the master cylinder.the service dealer replaced the cap on the master cylinder to remedy the problem.this did not stop the brake fluid from leaking.the concern was that the brake fluid was leaking onto the structure of the vehicle.over time, this may cause excessive corrosion on the structure of the vehicle.the service advisor stated that this was normal for this model.another complaint the contact stated t was that he power driven seat made a creaking noise.the dealer would adjust the seat to keepit from creaking.the concern was that if he has to adjust the seat while driving it may cause the contact to become distracted and could result in anaccident.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that all of the gauges on the instrument panel stopped working and water was leaking under the passengers side floor board. The parking brake also became stuck and the cable needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the technician verified that the water was leaking through the engine compartment but was not able to determine how to repair it. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 10,000 and the current mileage was 110,000.
My dates and mileage may be off. Ipurchased my mustang used at a local dealership with the warranty and extended warranty and about two months later my back wheels locked up on me.i pulled into the ford company and they took a look at it and unlocked the wheels charging me $70 saying it was not covered under the warranty.i was told by the tech that the emergency brake cable had froze up causing the tires to lock up.i was told that this was not covered by the warranty and it would cost by close to $600 to fix.the gentleman told me at that time to file a complaint with ford because it should be a recall.i did file that complaint back then and nothing ever became of it.i never had it fixed because i do not have $600 and therefore i do not use my e-brake which is dangerous!i have done some research and have found that others have the same issue with there car.this should be a recall.
The car was coasting and then just completely turned off reducing steering and braking ability at least 50% until i could come to a complete stop, turn off the ignition, then restart it again. Since then this has happened at least 5 times, 4 in the last week! my totally trustworthy mechanic did a diagnostic test and found no failures besides the fact that the fuel gauge hasn't worked in years, the speedometer doesn't always tell me the speed, the gas tank shuts off before filling up, the head lights and interior lights have stayed on after turning off the car and hasn't turned off after it's rained. The rpm seems to be the problem for why the engine turns off when they are too low. There used to be a jerky problem during acceleration when the car would shoot forward then back off a couple times before returning to a more steady acceleration. I would consider this vehicle a complete lemon and threat to the safety of me and anybody else on the road but since the warranty period is over and it's been taken to a mechanic i don't have any other options besides reporting it to you, i really wish there was some way this problem could be solved and i'm certain many other owners of this same vehicle are dealing with the same problem.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle accelerated independently to 115 mph. The contact had to shift into neutral in order to slow down the vehicle. In addition, the brake pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to respond. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.
The car stalled while cruising at highway speeds. Needed to pull over to without power steering or brakes and restart the car. This is not an isolated incident.http://www.ncconsumer.org/news-articles/nccc%20petitions%20nhtsa%20for%20defect%20investigation%20into%20ford%20escape%20vehicles.html.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. While driving approximately 40 mph, the brake pedal was engaged and the vehicle failed to stop. The driver had to engage the emergency brake; however, the driver crashed into a parked vehicle. The driver sustained injuries to the back and the passenger sustained injuries to the body. A police report was not filed and medical attention was not received. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage and vin were not available.
Just got it don't know what's wrong with it
Rear brake cable freeze. E brake loose.
My brakes started making a noise so i decided to get them checked. The dealer said my emergency cable had slipped and fell on my rotor and split it. They had to replace both cables,my back brakes my rotor, flush out my brake fluid and replace it i called the ford contact number and the person i talked to you took the information down and ask if i thought ford should be responsible to fix my car i said yes because i researched online and found a lot of 2005 for mustangs that have had problems with their emergency brakes and cable. I think there needs to be a recall on this. Some of the people that have had this issue states the ford puts out an internal memo but will not recall it. Noat my dealership can explain how this happen. When i picked my car back up i asked is there a way i will know this will not happen again they said these cable have better rubber on them. This makes me think that the ones put on the 2005 mustang were not good so they made new ones better. So this is why i think this needs to be recalled so no one else will have to godays without a car.
I have a 2005 mustang that the parking brake has frozen on 3 times since 2006 and on another occasion had the parking brake cables hanging down by the rear tires.the parking brake cables have been replaced twice already.
I am the owner of a 2005 ford mustang with a standard transmission.this morning (with overnight temperatures in the 20s) as i started out of my driveway to go to work, my car stalled.i restarted the car and tried one more to move forward.the vehicle stalled again.on the third attempt, i was applied more fuel to get the car moving, but my back wheels were very hesitant (as if the brakes were locked up).i drove the car several blocks to my repair facility.when i got out of the car, i could smell that the brakes had gotten hot.my service associate took the vehicle into the garage and put it on the lift to inspect.he stated that the brakes had seized (unknown reason at this time).upon removal of the driver's side wheel the problem was resolved.the mechanic stated that there was, most likely, some moisture in the emergency brake line and that during the short time that the vehicle was in the heated garage the line had unfrozen (melted).he suggested that i not use the emergency brake for parking in subfreezing temps.he also stated that ford is aware of this issue and that i should contact ford for final resolution.i contacted my local ford service department who read a bulletin confirming that ford is, in fact, aware of this defect in the original emergency brake cable / boot.the service technician went on to say that ford has an improved part and that the boot and cable lining have new features to resolve the defect.i then contacted ford customer service who also acknowledged that ford is aware of this defect, but at this time there is no recall and that ford's current policy disallows reimbursement for the stated defect.failure of the braking system could potentially cause severe injury or death to myself, passengers and anyone who might be in the vicinity during a failure with the braking system.at this point, i obviously need to have the vehicle repaired.since there is no current recall ford has declined reimbursement.
Dt*: the contact stated that a second recall notice was received pertaining to the brake lines and hoses. The notice also stated that vehicle should not be driven and the service dealers would arrange for the vehicle to be towed.the dealers and the manufacturer were notified and will not honor or acknowledge the recall service and towing.the vehicle has not been remedied or provided towing to the service dealers.
Right brake sticks causing rotors and pads to heat up and catch on fire. The dealer replaced the pads and rotors and i had to pay for it. The problem still there.i have also read forums online where other owners have had the brake catch fire due to it catching.the mechanic at the dealer admitted that the caliper was not working right, but dealer refused to replace it.my dealer will not fix problem or ever look at the rotor that is already torn up and over heater again after only 2 days of driving.i don't know if anyone else has been injured or killed, but i am sure if this is not looked into someone will be soon. I am not the only owner that is having this problem. Dealer tried to claim we drove with e-brake on. It was not on. Vehicle pulled to the right as if it was a alignment problem. When i stopped there was smoke coming from the right rear brake. I have the rotors and pads to prove that the only one that was messed up is the right. It almost caught on fire.
I was driving my 2005 ford mustang gt coupe northbound on a 35-mph city street. I was preparing to turn into a business driveway. While attempting to brake into the turn the (abs) light lit up on the dash console as well as ''check trac control'' on the heads up display. In that very instant the brakes became ''light and mushy'' causing the vehicle to lose traction while turning. The end result of this was that the vehicle struck the curb inside the driveway entrance. The driver''s front tire hit the curb with a solid impact. This caused serious damage to the rim, tire, front axle, and probably some other underlying damage that is yet to be determined. Fortunately no one was injured, but if this had happened on the highway some one may have been killed. I do not if this is an isolated incident but i thought i would make some one aware just in case.
Over the winter my ford 2005 mustang v6 had an issue. The emergency brake would freeze up. You would not beagle to move the car, until the thing d-iced. Now months later, due to this issue happening in the winter, finally the e brake got stuck in a position where the car could drive, but the brake pads and rotors were tore up in the process. The dealer is going to charge me $700 dollars to have all this fixed (new rear brakes and to fix the cable) ford put out an internal memo about this issue, why is there no recall on it. If you search the internet there are many others who have this issue.

Dt:contact states. The pinion gear (which the consumer says is part of the rear end) is bad on his 2005 convertible ford mustang diagnosed by the dealer. The manufacturer says there is no fix for this. The dealer says they cannot get the parts because ford will not relinquish the parts. The dealer and the manufacturer tells him there is an indefinite backorder on the parts. The vehicle has 4500 miles on it. He also cannot put the convertible top up or down on the vehicle. The motor on the topis blown up and the dealer and the manufacturer do not have a new one and refuse to give him the old pump back. They have told him there is no fix for the convertible top. He can only put one half gallon of gas in the car at a time because the gas pump clicks on/off telling him the gas tank is full. The dealer has diagnosed that the gas tank is bad and has ordered a new gas tank that will be there on 7-29-05 which is covered by the warranty. Other was selected as the component for the pinion gear because the consumer was not sure where the pinion gear was located .
While turning left while driving the steering locks, and has to be yanked hard to free, i almost had two accidents.
When making full turns left or right there is a very loud click from the front end. This is a constant occurrence. I have taken it to the dealer regarding this problem , but they have not fixed it yet.
Front end makes popping noise when turning steering wheel completely left or right
2005 ford mustang with parking brake problems which caused the vehicle to be damaged after rolling down a hill.consumer is also expressing discontent with the ford company.the consumer stated the door handles were replaced three times,the convertible top had to be replaced, a new fuel pump was needed which was recalled, a new radio was installed, and the battery was replaced twice.
Dt:the consumer has 2005 ford mustang.when the consumer was driving south from grass valley during the day, he could not see the instrument panel.the consumer believed that it was due to the instrument panel being located too far into the dashboard.the consumer said that at night he could see the instrument panel fine.if the vehicle passed into some type of shade during the day the instrument panel would become visible.the consumer says that he just got off of highway state route 49 and noticed that when traveling with the sun behind or in front, he could not see the instrument panel.anytime that the vehicle was shaded the instruments could not be seen easily.this was a safety problem due to not being able to see what speed the vehicle was traveling at.when changing speed zones, not being able to see what speed vehicle was traveling at caused the issue.*sc
I was driving about 55mph and heard a beep, looked in the dash and saw the engine went into a "fail safe mode". The car slowed down and jerked and slowed down quite a bit. Went to the dealership and could'nt find anything wrong w/ it. It started happening more often, so finally found a mechanic that was able to diagnose and fix the problem for $800. I saw in the paper that a few toyotas had this problem and wanted to let you know it happened on a new ford mustang as well. Also, whenever it rains, (the same car) leaks water into and puddles up under the passenger's seat. This has been a problem from the beginning of purchase. I don't drive this car in the rain because of this. I have talked to other mustang owners at the oil change facility, and they said they have the same problem. I really don't understand why there has not been a coulpe of recalls on the 2005 mustang gt. I waited a long time to get my dream car and paid a lot of money for it. If i'm not the only one having this problem, i would think the ford company should take responsibilty and fix the problems.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
One week after car purchased paint flaking off and car has blue smoke coming from exhaust at start up. Car has been painted since then 3 times and to date paint is flaking off and you should see all ofthe buffing scratches from the dealership(town & country ford/bessemer, al) trying to correct their mistakes. I might add this is a roush mustang. Car has been in 2 times for blue smoke and service department can't duplicate the problem(common statements made by ford's service department). Ford motor company refuses to even send a representative out to look at the vehicle. To say the least they do not stand behind their products and we will never purchase another one. We are in the arbitration process at this time with this vehicle. I would not recommend a ford to anyone. Read all about their problems online before you purchase. I wish i did.
My car shows erratic needle movement and gauges are reading over heat 0 miles per hour while moving and sticks at 120 mph after use and is parked. Gas meter is off, odometer is off, it's very scary to drive and expensive. Already dealt with the water leak issue form passenger side. Cluster panel is broken i believe. Bad dash board. Hundreds of forums explain same issues on going years on new models. Not safe or fair for ford to not address this death trap.
Dt: 2005, ford, mustang. Consumer cannot read instrument on a sunny day with sun glasses. Consumer says dealer knows about problem, but has not done anything about it. Instruments\ panel is enclosed in a deep tube type panel, and because of this cannot get enough light to be visible.
Water got to fuse box made headlights go off and flooded passenger side of car.
1)rattle sound coming from exhaust area when taking off in car.2)cd's skip or won't play sometimes with shaker 10003) passenger side airbag light comes on and off while driving all the time by itself.4) having trouble filling tank with gas at most gas stations.5)have been hearing a squeak sound coming from drivers side dashboard near windshield area.
Water is coming from under the dash board when it rains and causing a big flood in my vehicle.
Typical paint peeling on 2005 ford mustang hood.
I purchased in 2007 a 2005 ford mustang.after the downpouring of rain on wednesday 9/29 night and thursday 9/30 morning i experienced water pouring into my 2005 ford mustang vehicle when on my way to work under the dash board and in close proximity of the fuse panel on the passenger foot well.i was on the internet and found that there has been other 2005 mustangs experiencing the same systems.this should be considered a recall.
First thing that happened with my car was the two inches of water it started taking in every time it rains. Then the rpm gauge and speedometer went; never can tell how fast i am going (real safe). Next went the gas and temp gauges. Now it rained again a few days ago (12/2012) and i have no working locks, windows, radio or headlights along with water in my floorboard. Ford needs to fix these problems that the 2005 mustang has with it. These are not safe driving conditions and it looks like i am not the only one with these problems. I will not pay $3000 to fix their mistake. I will spend that money on a lawyer against ford before i pay for their mistake. They need to do a recall and fix this. I had to get my car towed last night because i had no headlights. The tow truck driver said that my car was the fourth mustang he had to tow that night!!!
Major leak - when it rains water leaks into the passenger side soaking floor. Comes from under the dash - electrical wires are there etc.
The tunnel down the center of the car gets extremely hot at the front of the tunnel near the pedals.when the bare metal of the tunnel is touched it is hot enough to induce a burn.dealer contacted ford and told me it was "normal".as the plastics and carpeting touching the tunnel age, i am concerned this may present a fire hazard.after reviewing posts on two mustang forums, others apparently have experienced this problem as well.the car is a gt v8 with a manual 5-speed transmission.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. While pulling out of the driveway at 5 mph in rainy weather, water began pouring out of the dashboard. The contact detected a burning odor coming from the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact replaced the cabin filter, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 72,453.
Water leak in passenger side kick panel ford knew of water leak issue when vehicle was manufactured. I had about an inch of water on my passenger floorboard after a storm. Also rear brakes stick after using emergency brake.if i ever have to use my e-brake in an emergency the rear wheels will lock up and be even more of a hazard and danger. Both these issues are very safety related. Searching the internet you will find literally hundreds if not thousands of complaints about this water leak and e-brake damage issue. Please do something about this. I am currently thinking of suing ford for the water leak and the fact that the technician at the dealership admitted this is a known ford problem but not enough people have complained for them to care...
I have experienced on several occasions water pouring into the vehicle under the dash board and in close proximity to the fuse panel on the passenger foot well.the dealer has indicated that the air intake to the cabin air unit is also connected the drain lines that drain water from the hood cowl.when debris from trees, bushes and shrubs finds it's way onto the hood cowl it gets into the drain lines (due to poor design and lack of any type of filter) with any rain.the rain washes debris into the drain lines which then backs up as the line fills into the cabin air unit.my dealer has told me the best way to prevent this from happening is to not park under trees.they did not tell me that when i bought the car.an internet search shows many people with a similar problem on the model year and later years.a tsb exists on this problem.
2005 ford mustang convertible. Severe water leakage occurring in passenger side front and rear areas. Water leaks into a compartment that surrounds the cabin air filter and then blows in through the cabin airway and leaks out below the glove box. This has severely damaged carpeting and causes mold and mildew to form. Very bad for anyone who breaths this in while traveling in the vehicle. Currently trying to seal with no luck and see hundreds of complaints on the internet. Occurs whenever vehicle is left outside in rain. The first 5 1/2 years of ownership the vehicle was garage kept.thank you
2005 mustang convertible top failure.no prior warning of failure.i took it the the ford dealer in lugof, sc (james ervin ford) to seek repair.dealer said they did not repair failed convertible tops, i should take it to a body shop.i explained that the top had failed after just 42.000 miles on the car and that ford had issued 2 tsb.they did not investigate the tsb and refused repair.
Driving on wet roads, front passenger side leak, shorting fuse box.car lights, turn signals, instrument panels, and radio all go dead. When car is put into park it will not shift back out. Dries out, and all is well again.this is an extreme safety issue.....imagine if you will driving on a highway late at night in traffic only to have all your lights and turn signals go out.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact attempted to start the vehicle but it would not start.the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the mechanic stated that water had damaged the electrical system and the computer system, which would need replacing.the contact had previously noticed water leaking from under the passenger side seat onto the passenger's feet. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 81,536.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that under the floormat on the passenger side of the vehicle, there was water leaking. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 160,000.
After a light rain i noticed water dripping into the passenger side kick plate/glove box area.car would not start.had it towed to dealer.started next day and could not replicate problem.next day, same problem.water noticeable in passenger compartment.shook smart junction box and notice water leaking out.car started and stopped when sjb shaken.took to dealer.replaced sjb for $750.month later same issue, this time car shut off while driving on freeway in rain.loss of all control, electrical and power.could not restart.pounded on sjb and eventually started.got it back home.now brakes lights, turn signal, headlights, a/c and display panel not operating.i am surprised that someone has not been killed yet.in trying to solve this issue, it appears that the internet is fully of the same stories.sickening.
Initial problems:1. Pin strip on driver side was peeling off2. A/c vent fell out of console3. Convertible top got stuck in the down position.stopped by closest dealer because i was on vacation and we pulled the top back up.brought it to a local dealer for repairs and they said it was not covered under warranty because the entire convertible top frame was twisted.they stated this was because i most likely had driven while the top was half way up/down.after several weeks ford engineers decided to cover the repairs for the top.took the dealer five weeks to get all parts and replace the top.4. Gas tank replaced because gas pumps would constantly cut off while refueling.5. A/c makes popping noise every once in while.current issues:1. Noise in front end while turning at slow speeds 2. After car warms to driving temperature, there is a thumping noise heard in engine, very prominent in interior3. Driver side exterior door handle sticks in the out position4. Convertible top making a thud noise when raising and lowering top5. Exhaust is making a popping noise when if engine is revved right after starting the car6. Slight vibration/rattling noise coming from console while car idles7. A/c making popping noise every once in while.
I took my 2005 mustang to the dealer after it had rained and water came into the car,,all the electric turned of then back on when i was driven on the highway,they said they couldn't find anything wrong,,i see this has been a problem from what i have been reading,,now the gauges don't work,,was told it was the cluster because of the water,,can you get anything done about this.
Whenever it rains my 05' mustang cv accumulates about an inch of water on the passenger side and it takes forever to dry out.the cv top is brand new and does not leak as far as i can tell.i've seen other people complain about this on a few different blogs online.what's the deal?
Convertible top failure at 28,000 miles. Car is not safe to operate on highways after convertible top failure. Common problem on 2005 mustangs. Top becomes stuck at half up position. This obstructs vision in rear-view mirror, making it impossible to change lanes safely.
2005 ford mustang leaking when it rains. I have read plenty of forms that a lot of people have this problem that no one knows why or how. If this is not corrected it could cause health problems due to mildew or fire due to the moisture.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated water would leak into the vehicle whenever it would rain. The leak was so severe that water would enter and build up on the passenger side floorboard. In addition, water was draining directly into the fuse box and causing electrical issues within. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they advised that the failure could not be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 110,000.
In reference to tsb-08-26-7 and tsb-07-14-6, there is a difficult to diagnose water leak in the floor board of the vehicle. The water leak coming from the passenger side of the vehicle from the wheel well into the floor board of the vehicle comes into contact with the smart junction box (sjb) of the vehicle. When water seeps into the sjb, it short circuits the majority of the electrical system of the vehicle including: headlights, tail lights, a/c, instrument panel, radio, windshield wipers, rear defroster, windows, door locks, and a variety of other items. If all the correct conditions prevail, such as, night time driving in the rain and the water seeps into the sjb and short circuits it, the driver is left in the dark with no lighting, no wipers, or instrumentation of any type. Quick fix for dangerous condition was to pull the kick panel out of the floor board, unplug the sjb connector, and allow to briefly air dry before reconnecting. Vehicle was taken to dealer only to be claimed the "instrument cluster" was bad. Even though the tsbs were mentioned by the owner, nothing was said of the sjb being the problem.
Factory contamination on hood.causing the paint to bubble due to hood corrosion.
The morning after a rain storm when pulling out of my driveway water started to pour in behind the glove box and passenger air big area and onto the floor. It was about 1 or 2 inches of water all together. After doing some research i found that the ford knows what the problem is and still has not done anything to fix it. It effects all ford mustangs from 2005 through 2008. They have a tsb 07-14-6 which describes the problem and states how to fix it.
Known hood corrosion (i couldn't select hood in "affected parts) issue re: ford tsb 6-25-15 - breaking through paint at this point and several different spots on the hood.apparently class action suit has been filed.ford refuses to pay for repair.
I have a major paint defect, bubbling or blistering under the paint on my aluminum hood. A factory defect, which ford has been aware since 2004 and continued to sell aluminum hoods until 2013.
Was driving down the highway dec 23, 2008 when the entire electrical system on my 2005 ford mustang with 25,000 miles on it went completely dead. I purchased this slightly used mustang at a chrysler dealersix months ago and i purchased a top of the line extended warr, for $2000.00 when the vehicle was taken to the ford dealership my top of the line extended warr. Did not cover the repairs due to the problem being a known factory defect. Ford motor company was no help with the problem also due to the car being slightly over the 3 year warr but not over the 36,000 mile warr. I have done some research since then on the matter and found this problem is a big problem with ford . The internet is loaded with complaints from consumers with this exact same problem as mine. I would imagine driving down the highway at 65 miles per hr could be a catastrophe after losing all electrical power. Ford has a tsb number for this problem, it is tsb 07-14-6. Theproblem is water is entering the cowl area on the front of car and getting to the electrical system and shorting the system out. To make things worse, after all denied response to fix factory defect, they handed me a bill for $508.00 to trouble shoot problem when i specifically told the dealership there was a tsb notice on this problem and the problem was that of the tsb 07-14-6. This is no way fair and something has to be done.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that all of the gauges on the instrument panel stopped working and water was leaking under the passengers side floor board. The parking brake also became stuck and the cable needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the technician verified that the water was leaking through the engine compartment but was not able to determine how to repair it. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 10,000 and the current mileage was 110,000.
Major leak - when it rains water leaks into the passenger side soaking floor. Comes from under the dash - electrical wires are there etc.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact noticed that there was an abnormal noise coming form the engine. The contact mentioned that the front frame was damaged and the vehicle was too unstable to drive. The vehicle was taken to universal auto llc (491 west main street, greenwood, in 46142) where it was diagnosed that the lifters, timing chain, and timing chain kit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. In addition, the vehicle was leaking oil and white smoke was forming on the front passenger side of the vehicle. The vehicle stalled and failed to restart. The vehicle was towed back to the used dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 117,000.

Corrosion on the hood, water leaking on pass. Side door, water leaking under the glove box, bissell and gauges not working, speeds up in excessive speed without giving gas,
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that while park he noticed that water had accumulated on the front driver and passenger side floor board. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that there were holes on the liner in between the windshield and the hood that caused the water to leak into the vehicle. The gauges on instrument panel and the wires that lead to the speakers were damaged. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000.
During the raising of my convertible top the mechanism failed leaving the top half way up. The damage is so bad the top will not go up or down. The dealer says it will cost $6,000 to repair. The car is a 2005 andhas only 43,000 miles and the top has not been cycled that many times. My extended warranty does not cover the top. I feel that this failure has occurred very early in the life of the vehicle and the cost of repair is 1/2 the value of the vehicle. I did not abuse the top because the raising and lowering is all automatic and can not be abused.
The paint on the front edge of the hood is bubbling. I was told by the dealership it was oxidation and they were aware it was a problem with the 2005 mustang. However i was told by an employee of another dealership that is was not oxidation but an initial poor paint job. However, i am no longer under warranty. My car is kept in a garage at night and during the day while at work. It never sits out in the sun or rain. The dealership told me there is no recall because there were not enough complaints from owners. That cannot be true because the internet is full of complaints on this problem. I was told it would cost $895 to paint the whole hood and it would have a lifetime guaranty.i refused to pay that amount and they reduced it down to $695.but i would have to pay for a rental as it would take 2 days to paint. I refused to pay for the rental and negotiated for a free rental. I am getting 2 more estimates.
I have a 2005 ford mustang convertible. Without warning the top jammed about a 1/4 of the way going up.it appears the left side torsion bar snapped causing the weight of the top to shift to the right and bent the right side frame. I can not put the windows up because the whole top is now out of alignment.vehicle is stored all winter long and has less than 15,000 miles on it.the convertible top frame is a poor design.ibrought it to 3 places to be looked at and have been told from all 3 places that this is an on going issue with the 2005 ford mustang convertible tops.i do not see that a recall has been issued but have seen some tsb. I feel that ford motor company should be held responsible to produce vehicles without mechanical flaws and use quality parts. Ford motor company needs to step up to repair them without financial burden on the consumer when they are exposed.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that whenever it would rain, water would leak into the vehicle from the passengers side. Also, when driving in rainy weather or through a puddle, water would enter the vehicle and into the fuse box. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was awaiting repairs. The manufacturer would not provide any assistance. The failure and current mileages were 20,000.
Passenger door was different color than rest of vehicle. Dealer tried to repaint but screwed up now vehicle has serios paint flaws
While driving a normal highway speeds the hood will shake.on winding days the hood will vibrate and twist violently.the hood latch and hinges are tight.hood is made of thin aluminum and is to flimsy to tolerate the wind load.with time i believe hinges will loosen and the problem will worsen.
Dt: the latch that holds the convertible top onto windshield came loose and unlatched while driving 75 mph. The convertible top went backward, no debris came off, but papers flew out of car. Dealer reported that the convertible latch must not have not have been latched. No repair yet, dealer has the vehicle. Very windy outside, heading into a head wind when incident occurred. Vehicle h had no other problems, and there was no warning.
Dt:contact states. The pinion gear (which the consumer says is part of the rear end) is bad on his 2005 convertible ford mustang diagnosed by the dealer. The manufacturer says there is no fix for this. The dealer says they cannot get the parts because ford will not relinquish the parts. The dealer and the manufacturer tells him there is an indefinite backorder on the parts. The vehicle has 4500 miles on it. He also cannot put the convertible top up or down on the vehicle. The motor on the topis blown up and the dealer and the manufacturer do not have a new one and refuse to give him the old pump back. They have told him there is no fix for the convertible top. He can only put one half gallon of gas in the car at a time because the gas pump clicks on/off telling him the gas tank is full. The dealer has diagnosed that the gas tank is bad and has ordered a new gas tank that will be there on 7-29-05 which is covered by the warranty. Other was selected as the component for the pinion gear because the consumer was not sure where the pinion gear was located .
Fuel tank and inlet tube fails to fill properly.gasoline splash back on to motorist at filling station. Tried to put convertible top down, catastrophic failure of convertible top frame and hardware. No forewarning.
2005 mustang convertible. 6 months old 3,000 miles on it..pressing button to put up top and something snapped comes to find out thebracket connected to the motor snapped in half. An engineer came out and made notation of this. The entire frame was replaced. No rental car offered and car was gone for about 10 days. Can you say customer service!!!!!!!:(as for the ac/heat constant clicking noise heard every 30 seconds.dealership say this is normal . I may be a women but come on...fess up...we pay alot of money for a vehicle we should not be going through this.
Dt: 2005 ford mustang gt - there wasbad vibration withinvehicle. This happened anytime while driving at45 mphand above.it seemed worse when the car satfor a few days.this did not start until the car had approximately 3000-4000miles on it.the dealer seemed to think it was the tires, one new set of all four tires, anda set of two tires that were put on this vehicle.the tire calibration machine stated that the tires were within specs.the consumercalled the manufacturer,and there were no recalls or technical service bulletinson this car.the consumer believed the problem is with the suspension or the drive train. Updated 02/14/06.
Engine light came on and car was sticking in gear so i took it to the dealer.the dealer found out through a diagnostic test that the throttle assembly but wanted me to pay almost $1000.00 to get it fixed.i told them no and picked my car up.i went on line and found out there was a recall on the throttle assembly.
None of the gauges work. I have to drive pacing myself with other vehicles. Only the icon for gas needed comes on when the gas is low. Starting after about 10,000 miles on the car i have had increasing problems getting fuel in the car. Not just myself, but anyone that tries to fuel the car. I initially started holding the fuel nozzle upside down to get gas and that worked for a few years. (although you look like a dumb ass that doesn't know how to put gas in a car!) this last year it has gotten so bad that i am lucky to get 2 gallons in it, and that is with it repeatedly shutting off.since day one the right front wheel makes a grinding/clunking noise when i turn the tire in either direction. It makes me feel like the wheel will fall off. My cars body assembly is also crap. The front lower grill has popped off and disappeared. I have seen several, at least 10 other mustangs of this year missing the same part. The plastic, yes plastic!, screws pop out. The places where the inside seams of the car are supposed to connect are detached. The light enclosure in the trunkwill not stay attached. The seat handles fall off.i only have 50,000 miles on this car. Repair shops tell me to wait for a recall, when is that going to happen?
There was a recalll for default with the emergency brake andtakata airbag
The contact owned a 2005 ford mustang. While driving approximately 45 mph, the front driver side control arm fractured and caused the driver to lose steering control. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a tree. In addition, the air bags failed to deploy. The driver suffered from a head concussion, laceration to the face, and body bruises that included severe injuries to the stomach and blood clots. Medical attention was received. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a salvage facility. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 88,603.
Creaking noise while turning either left or right.
Car vibrates/rumbles excessively at 70 mph, started 3000-4000 milesafter i bought car. Also front end clunks like car with 100,000 miles on it. After numerous trips to dealer ford only states that this is normal for the vehicle????
I purchased my 2005 ford mustang on may 28, 2005 and about a week after i started noticing the paint had chips in it, then i started looking the car over with a magnifying glass (almost) and noticed that the tint that had been placed in florida where the car was purchased from dealer to dealer was bubbling in places and since it wasn't done by ford nothing could be done, then i noticed when i came to a stop and pulled it out of gear the rpms would run extremely high then fall low and back up again, and it continues to do this, about1 1/2 months ago i started noticing a rattling in the front of the car, not sure what that is yet, we will see what the dealership says about this all tomorrow.
Initial problems:1. Pin strip on driver side was peeling off2. A/c vent fell out of console3. Convertible top got stuck in the down position.stopped by closest dealer because i was on vacation and we pulled the top back up.brought it to a local dealer for repairs and they said it was not covered under warranty because the entire convertible top frame was twisted.they stated this was because i most likely had driven while the top was half way up/down.after several weeks ford engineers decided to cover the repairs for the top.took the dealer five weeks to get all parts and replace the top.4. Gas tank replaced because gas pumps would constantly cut off while refueling.5. A/c makes popping noise every once in while.current issues:1. Noise in front end while turning at slow speeds 2. After car warms to driving temperature, there is a thumping noise heard in engine, very prominent in interior3. Driver side exterior door handle sticks in the out position4. Convertible top making a thud noise when raising and lowering top5. Exhaust is making a popping noise when if engine is revved right after starting the car6. Slight vibration/rattling noise coming from console while car idles7. A/c making popping noise every once in while.
Clunking noise in front end when turning left or right. Vehicle taken to dealer 2 times, dealer stated ford engeener is looking into this. Part should be avalable in 30 days.
Car vibrates/rumbles excessively at 70 mph, started 3000-4000 miles after i bought car. Also front end clunks like car with 100,000 miles on it. After numerous trips to dealer ford corporate only states that this is normal for the vehicle?
When making turns left or right there is a very loud click from the front end. This is a constant occurrence, usually when the vehicle is not on level ground but when there is a slope such as in parking structures.i have taken it to the dealer regarding this problem , but they have not fixed it yet,and the parts they originally ordered they now say will not fix the problem.in addition, there seems to be a less audible click coming form under the front part of the car, usually when the heater or the air conditioning is on, which no one seems to pinpoint. This is not constant but is an off and on occurrence. Lastly, i have a problem sometimes when fueling as the pump turns off right after i begin fueling as if the tank is full when it is not. I solve this by changing the pump or gas station but it happens too often for it not to be mentioned.
Popping noise up front when i turn left or right, also very hard to put gas in tankmy brother is a certified mechanic and he said it was the strut bearing plate making the popping noise on the passenger side. It is like 300.00 plus labor to replace. I have read alot of people complaining on the popping noise, this should be a recall. The gas tank should be a recall too. Thanks
2005 mustang brand new has faulty gas tank. I was unable to put gas in tank.dealer is ordering a new tank from manufacturer to be replaced. Also replaced front upper strut bearings and lower sleeves brackets that where defective. Everytime i made turns in vehicle i heard clicking noises. Also trunk latch is getting replaced due to trunk wont unlock with remote key. Part is on order as well as gas tank. There is to many of these gas tank problems that other consumers are having for ford not to recall them or investigate.same goes for the struts.
2005 mustang convertible top failure.no prior warning of failure.i took it the the ford dealer in lugof, sc (james ervin ford) to seek repair.dealer said they did not repair failed convertible tops, i should take it to a body shop.i explained that the top had failed after just 42.000 miles on the car and that ford had issued 2 tsb.they did not investigate the tsb and refused repair.
Clunking in the shock/spring assembly in all four wheels. Dealership believes the springs are not seated correctly and are twisting.
2005 ford mustangfuel system, replaced due to system failure when filling car with gas, it broke again ford will not or can not fix, manual 5-speed transmissions replaced 2 times and going out again, car at ford 28 days in last 6 months for warranty repairs, ford denies the car is a lemon.

Dt: both rear strut mount brackets rusted. The caller did not notice it until it was too late. Dealer refused to do anything until a recall was issued. . manufacturer said to take it to a dealer. The caller has noticed this problem on other vehicles he has looked at of the same year .
Main reat strut/shock absorber suppor brackets are rusted out on the brand new ford mustant 2005. The factory refuses to do anything about this. I filed multiple complaints. If the suspension fails i could wreck!
Rear stabalizer bar bracket too close torear wheel rim housing--within 1/2 inch.
Clunking in the shock/spring assembly in all four wheels. Dealership believes the springs are not seated correctly and are twisting.
Approximately a year ago, the speedometer and fuel gauges on my 2005 ford mustang started to malfunction. Since then, they have been giving me false readings. Examples include my fuel level will read at half a tank when i will actually be near empty, the more pressing issue however, is that my speedometer keeps giving me increadibly inaccurate readings, saying i'll be going 90 mph, when i'll really be going 20, or saying that i'm constantly going well over 150mph...even though my car will be parked and turned off. I have read that many other 2005 mustang owners are having this problem and being told they are having to pay anywhere from $500-600 for the repair when it is clearly ford motor's fault. I cannot afford to pay this, but i cannot afford to continue having to guess my speed either, it is unsafe, and potentially causing me to break the law by speeding. A recall order needs to be issued to save me and my fellow mustang owners from having to pay this excessie cost for a problem that is the maker's problem.
Cluster with odometer gauge, hot/cold gauge, sometimes gas gauge are all showing wrong information. The speed odometer will be showing 80 miles or more when you are only driving 45. This is very common problem on mustang 2005 as i have read on many forums. I have had this problem from last year but i had no way of knowing where to complain because this is safety issue, i have no idea how fast i am going or when i will be out of gas. I hope more people know where to report these issues so the ford company can recall or make better lasting products.
Just got it don't know what's wrong with it
Cluster failure 2005 mustang,rpm guage not working. Took to dealership since i purchased extended 6-year warranty, ford refused to fix...so much for the extra warranty!!! not sure that i will ever purchase from ford again...obviously the cluster is junk, and they are not willing to make things right.
After one cleaning of rear window the defroster stopped working. Car has only 20,860 miles on it. Mostly garaged. Now beyond warranty of 36 mos/36 miles. Grid is defective and was before warranty expired and was not discovered until afterwards. Ford refused to fix.
One incident, driving home from work when car ran out of gas and saw the as gas guage indicator facing straight down, temperature guage and the tachometer was not working. The car ran out of gas on major high way and my daughter alone stuck on the road at 3 am with large trucks passing by. She had believed the car had plenty of gas. The guages are still not fixed properly do not work at 100777 miles.
The instrument cluster in my 2005 ford mustang are starting to fail. So far fuel gage and tach our inopertable. I have researched the internet and found that alot of mustang owners are having the same issue. Why has this not been a recall since they know they have a stepper motor issue in the instrument clusters.
My tachometer fail a few years ago. When i took it to the dealer, he said all mustang gauges fail and to be happy it wasn't the speedometer. Slowly over time all the electrical has been having problems. Sometimes the car won't start, all the gauges stop working, the check engine light goes on and off for no reason. Also the driver seat electrical failed, was replaced and failed again. I couldn't afford to have it fixed.
I'm still waiting for my takata recall part. It's been years!
I took my car back to dealer for some warranty repairs and they asked me if my car had been in an accident. I advised them no, it was purchased new. They said my vin# was invalid. After checking further they discovered my vin number on the dash and the vin number on the door were different. I have been told to never allow a vin# to be changed, however, they want to remove my windshield and replace the vin plate to match what they say is the rest of the vin#'s on the vehicle. I do not feel this is acceptable. I entered the contract to purchase this car in good faith and feel that ford should do the same. I was told by a highway patrol officer that if i had ever been pulled over and they had run my vin# that they would have impounded my car for an invalid vin and probably arrested me for driving a stolen vehicle.they say this is a simple fix and won't cause problems down the road for me. I want them to buy back the vehicle or replace it with one that has matching vin and vin plate numbers. This is the only fix that will allow me to feel safe. The regional rep jocelyn dunning for ford said no way, although this doesn't happen often, it doesn't fall under the lemon law. When asked to speak to her superior she advised us she was it. When questioned further, she does have a superior, but she is the only one to make this determination. Help!
When attempting to put gas in the vehicle you have to run it in real slow or the pump will shut off.it acts as if the tank is full even though it is almost empty.apparently the gas is pooling where the end of the pump releases the gas, there is a sharp slightly uphill right angle for the gas to travel and there is not enough room to for it to move through like other cars.the gas float stopped working as well, the gas needle is buried on the far right side of the guage inside the car, it is worthless, i believe these are related because they happened right around the same time.
Was driving down the highway dec 23, 2008 when the entire electrical system on my 2005 ford mustang with 25,000 miles on it went completely dead. I purchased this slightly used mustang at a chrysler dealersix months ago and i purchased a top of the line extended warr, for $2000.00 when the vehicle was taken to the ford dealership my top of the line extended warr. Did not cover the repairs due to the problem being a known factory defect. Ford motor company was no help with the problem also due to the car being slightly over the 3 year warr but not over the 36,000 mile warr. I have done some research since then on the matter and found this problem is a big problem with ford . The internet is loaded with complaints from consumers with this exact same problem as mine. I would imagine driving down the highway at 65 miles per hr could be a catastrophe after losing all electrical power. Ford has a tsb number for this problem, it is tsb 07-14-6. Theproblem is water is entering the cowl area on the front of car and getting to the electrical system and shorting the system out. To make things worse, after all denied response to fix factory defect, they handed me a bill for $508.00 to trouble shoot problem when i specifically told the dealership there was a tsb notice on this problem and the problem was that of the tsb 07-14-6. This is no way fair and something has to be done.
I have a 2005 ford mustang, 4.0 and about 3 years ago the cluster started giving me problems, first the temp and fuel gauges stopped working all together. Then my tachometer and speed started acting very erratic, showing that my tachometer was running above what it should as well my speedometer are going crazy. It shows me doing 120 when i'm doing 40, 55 etc.. Why won't ford recall these clusters in all these cars, they know that they are bad. I almost had another heart attack when i got the price to replace the cluster from the local ford company, it was going to cost me $800.00, plus a diagnostic fee of $100.00. Wow!!!! talk about greed!!!!
The instrument cluster located inside the vehicle stopped reading properly. At first i was not able to read my rpm's gauge as it was showing i was idling at 3,000 which was incorrect as i can hear my engine. Then my oil gauge began reading past full. Both of those issues fixed themselves (unsure of how or why) and then my speedometer gauge went bad. Now the needle is pointing straight down regardless of how fast or slow i am going. This is a danger to myself on the road as i cannot gauge my speed. This is an issue that others with the same model and year of my car are experiencing and should be fixed with a recall.
I bought this car used . Had only 35,000 miles on it 3 yrs ago. A year in a half ago i notice on front end of hood paint looked bubbly. Didn't think anything of it, cause it was a very small area. Now it is getting worse. I was told that it was rust. How is this possible?
The speedometer began to act erratically before ceasing to work altogether. I took the car to fairway ford (placentia, ca) and reported the problem. The service writer dismissed me by saying the repair was too costly and that there was no known universal problem with the 2005 v6 ford mustang. I have a colleague with the same year and model who has the same problem.
The 2005 to 2009 mustangs (all of them) have a water intrusion problem presented as a design flaw in the engine firewall that leaks water onto the smart junction block causing random electrical systems failure including the loss of engine ignition, loss of all systems, etc. In my case, the intrusion of water caused a sudden and complete loss of all systems. Discovered a day after heavy rain. There are thousands of reports of this on the web and the dealer admits it is a design flaw and known problem.
I was pulling out of work onto a busy street when car went into idle mode because of the throttle body drive by wire system.there was no indication anything was wrong or about to go wrong. God was really looking out for me on this particularday because the cars that were on this busy road wasn't in a hurry like they normally are and i avoided a (t-bone)collision. It really scared me and i haven't drove the car anymore and it's for sale. I thought it should be reported and i will tell whoever buys the car what happened upfront. I'm not willing to risk it doing the same thing again. I switched the key off and started the car back up and drove it 40 miles home without any problems and it will never be driven by me again.
I just purchased a 2005 ford mustang.the past owner gave me a letter nhtsa recall 16v-384.how do i let someone know to contact me when the parts come in?
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.
I was slowly turning into a parking space (cars on both sides and a car in front of me). I was in a parking lot traveling at idle speed.my foot was on the brake pedal.the engine suddenly began to run up.i immediately increased my pressure on the brake pedal.the engine was running so fast that the rear tires were burning rubber. I immediately put the car into park. My foot was still on the brakethe engine was running at full speed. I shut off the ignition.the engine stopped. I waited a moment and then restarted the car without touching anything.my foot remained on the brake pedal.the car restated normally.this is the first time this happened.it has not recurred since the original incident on march 1.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. While driving at 60 mph,the instrumental panel gauges failed and became inoperable. In addition, when accelerating the vehicle would abnormally accelerate at a rapid pace. The dealer advised there was an electronic sensor that would potentially need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired or diagnosed for the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 58,000 and the current mileage was 72,000.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. While driving approximately 15 mph the vehicle accelerated on its own. The contact swerved the vehicle to avoid traffic and crashed into a building. The front passenger sustained a broken rib.a police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard. The vehicle was declared destroyed by the insurance company. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.
The speedometer is erratic.sometimes it shows i am driving 40 miles over the speed i am at and in idle it sometimes shows the speed needle below the zero.sometimes it shows i am driving 20mph under what i think i'm driving at.resulting in 4 tickets.i am paying over $500 to have ford replace the cluster.

My 16 yr old son was driving and the speed gauge started reading 90 then 60 then 100 also the temp gauge went into the red.he panicked that car was going to blow up and pulled off the highway at night to call to see what he should do.i find this to be very unsafe in both aspects of not knowing if the car could of caused an accident and also the fact of him being on the side of the highway at night.i have read of others having this same problem, this differently needs to be addressed before a major accident does happen.ford should be ashamed of this and offer a correction on this problem.
Dt:2005 ford mustang gt -had anelectrical system problem which resulted in a crash.while turning off of the highway into a residential area the transmission malfunctioned causing uncontrollable acceleration.the brakes were appliedbut the vehicle continued to accelerate. The front brakes did not stop the vehicle.the vehicle went into a clock wise spin.the car turned onto the driver's side and then hit a tree.what happened next was that the electrical system was still acting strange, the trunk opened andtryingto closeit back down the lights came off and on. The door locks would lock and unlock by themselves. The vehicle had $6,300 worth of damage. The dealership didnot assist the consumerwith anything.the vehicle was purchased on august 29, 2005 as a new vehicle which only had 72 miles on it. Upon impact the airbags did not deploy and the fuel cut off switch did not activate.a police report was taken.*mr
The gas pedal stick cause bye throttle body could not stop the car.just about hit a car when i was driving .....
Approximately a year ago, the speedometer and fuel gauges on my 2005 ford mustang started to malfunction. Since then, they have been giving me false readings. Examples include my fuel level will read at half a tank when i will actually be near empty, the more pressing issue however, is that my speedometer keeps giving me increadibly inaccurate readings, saying i'll be going 90 mph, when i'll really be going 20, or saying that i'm constantly going well over 150mph...even though my car will be parked and turned off. I have read that many other 2005 mustang owners are having this problem and being told they are having to pay anywhere from $500-600 for the repair when it is clearly ford motor's fault. I cannot afford to pay this, but i cannot afford to continue having to guess my speed either, it is unsafe, and potentially causing me to break the law by speeding. A recall order needs to be issued to save me and my fellow mustang owners from having to pay this excessie cost for a problem that is the maker's problem.
My ford mustang has now 32k miles on it purchased new and only one owner/driver. All of my instrument are no longer working or work erratically. I am having problems knowing what speed i am traveling, if there is gas in my car. I am a woman who does not like to get stranded on the highway and this is now a big fear. I cannot tell what my speed is and therefore am very leary driving unless with traffic so i can keep with them. It is apparent alot of others are also complaining about the same problem to the point it starts to cause transmission problems. Is there something we can do to get this up as a recall, what options do we have? i cannot afford to replace all clusters for 600-700 dollars and find out it is still having problems. Any suggestions?
In heavy city traffic, stepped on gas to accelerate, car would not go. Kept giving gas would finally respond. Did this several times in one day. Next time we tried to drive it "engine safe mode" light came on and car would not accelerate at all. Through research and talking to others determined that it is thethrottle body (drive by wire) a known problem with some ford vehicles.talked to the ford dealer where we bought the car and the service person we spoke to told us it would be covered by ford's extended warranty in response to csp 13n03. Took the car in today for appointment and they said it was not covered by that extended warranty andthat consumer satisfaction program 13n03 did not pertain to a mustang. Does not seem right to us that our car would not be covered when research has shown that mustang's have had the same problem and the same "drive by wire" system.we are left being responsible for over $500 in costs for this repair.
My speedometer was reading a lower speed than i was actually driving. It was confirmed with a speed radar sign. My speedometer gauge was off by 15 mph. I checked online and noticed there were many other owners with the same defect. I contacted ford regarding the issue and they told me there wasn't any recall for my car. I did some more research and found out the steppers in the cluster gauge have been known to go bad.
Mustang is stuck in limp mode. Can not rev engine above 5 miles per hour.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang.while driving 50 mph the accelerator pedal automatically depressed to the floorboard.the vehicle speed increased to approximately 80 mph.the contact depressed the brake three times before the vehicle stopped.the dealer stated that there were no recalls and would not be able to help.the manufacturer informed the contact to call back if the failure recurred.the current and failure mileage were 20,000.
I was driving 30-35 miles on a busy street (over pass) in a 2005 ford mustangwith my wife. The car went crazy unintended sudden acceleration with a frightening noise. I tried desperately to stop the car by braking hard and meantime to avoid the cars ahead and opposite coming cars. The car would not stop. I applied hand brake ,that did not help either only to leave heavy skid mark and the car to spin once thankfully in a corner of a three way road,at that stage i tried to put the car in park position ,but the second the gear reached the reverse mark the car went full speed backwards crossing the busy nordhoff wayhitting a pole and fire pump and with car tires spinning at full speed at the moment i managed to put the car in park position and turn off the engine. Luckily nothing serious happened to me and my wife and no car or other person .thanks to god. How.? i don't know ,someone up there must have taken care of us and the others because this street is near a shopping mall and the day was saturday 15 april and tim was 1 pm afternoon. The police and fire team got there immediately and there is a police report of the incident. I have hard time to convince insurance allstate and ford dealers to assign an engineer to look into the matter. I need your advise please. W e are emotionally disturbed .
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that the vehicle suddenly accelerated intermittently; at first, the contact believed the problem to be because of driver error. On november 25, 2010 while the vehicle was idling, it suddenly accelerated and crashed into a vehicle in front although the contact depressed the brake pedal. A police report was filed. The vehicle had not been inspected or repaired. The current and failure mileages were 78,250.
3 incidents:1.needed to use the passing gear and the car kept accelerating with the pedal stuck to the floor. As i was about to go to neutral the pedal released. Dealer diagnosis was to clean throttle body and fuel system at a cost of $1602. A week later, during moderate acceleration entering an interstate on-ramp, it happened again. Traffic was light so i let it go and eventually the pedal kicked back3. In early may, did it again during light acceleration on a surface road, this time i was in heavy traffic. Put car in neutral, turned to a side street to stop, put it in park and shut off engine. Upon restart, it was okreturned car to dealer on may 9, left car for a week. They said 2 things, they agreed the floor carpets were not at fault andwhen one was available, they would put some sort of recorder device on the car that i would activate only when the problem occurred again. Today is july 28, 2012 and they have not produced the device. Occasionally, when road conditions are ok, i try to trigger the condition, but it has not happened again. I'm not a believer that mechanical things fix themselvesi've seen multiple articles on the internet about similar problems with 2005-2006 mustangs and also ford recalls of other makes/models with similar problems regarding accelerator pedals and automatic speed control malfunctions causing rapid accelerationneedless to say, i drive the car with much caution and a lot less enjoyment.
The speedometer began to act erratically before ceasing to work altogether. I took the car to fairway ford (placentia, ca) and reported the problem. The service writer dismissed me by saying the repair was too costly and that there was no known universal problem with the 2005 v6 ford mustang. I have a colleague with the same year and model who has the same problem.
Dt:the consumer states throttle got stuck with the brake on.the vehicle sped up real fast;.the consumer turned the vehicle off.he then pulled the vehicle over to the center lane and started the car again.this happened on july 8, 2005, it has not happened since.the vehicle was taken to the dealership, but they could not duplicate the problem.
I was driving through a shopping center parking lot at a speed of approximately 5-10 mph, approaching a stop sign. There were about three cars ahead of me.as i applied the brakes, the engine suddenly revved and bucked 3 times right into the back of the vehicle in front of me.the brakes were applied throughout, but did not stop the vehicle.that monday vehicle was taken to ford dealership and they could not duplicate problem, therefore no assessment was made.they suggested the after market floor mat i was using could have possibly been the cause for the sudden acceleration.i disagree, the floor mat was very heavy and did not shift about and was not in the way of the accelerator pedal; although, i have removed the floor mat.any further incidents will be reported.

The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that while driving at low speeds, the accelerator pedal became jammed. The contact attempted to apply the brakes but the vehicle continued to accelerate and crashed into a grate. The contact did not sustain any injuries. The police were not contacted. The vehicle was able to be driven from the crash site, but only at low speeds. The vehicle was later taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was awaiting an investigation of the failure. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The failure and current mileage was approximately 70,000.
I was fully stopped and was parking my car.made a left turn and came to full stop.trying to see that if i had enough space to clear parked car on leftreleased brake pedal and car took off at the speeds of 3 to 5 mphhitting the parked trucked on the right.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact started the ignition and when his foot was slightly positioned on the accelerator pedal, the vehicle began to rapidly accelerate. The brake pedal was engaged continuously and the vehicle would not slow down causing difficulty in gaining steering control; as a result to the vehicle crashed into several bushes. The contact was able to drive away from the scene without injury. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The failure mileage was approximately 58,950.
The instrument cluster located inside the vehicle stopped reading properly. At first i was not able to read my rpm's gauge as it was showing i was idling at 3,000 which was incorrect as i can hear my engine. Then my oil gauge began reading past full. Both of those issues fixed themselves (unsure of how or why) and then my speedometer gauge went bad. Now the needle is pointing straight down regardless of how fast or slow i am going. This is a danger to myself on the road as i cannot gauge my speed. This is an issue that others with the same model and year of my car are experiencing and should be fixed with a recall.
Speedometer at times sticks or shows the incorrect speed.even sitting idle the speedometer will show 5 miles an hour or even 20 mph.it's extremely inconsistent, so determining the correct speed is difficult to do.the speed will display both, higher than actual speed and lower than actual speed without ryhme or reason.additionally the needle moves in a sporadic behavior, like a second hand tic on a clock, rather than a smooth consistent flow.the tachometer appears to also be affected although it's much less noticeable.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang.whenever the contact attempts to accelerate, the vehicle will not accelerate to the desired speed.she noticed that the maintenance light would illuminate on the instrument panel when the failure occurred.the dealer stated that the throttle body needed to be replaced.the current and failure mileages were 20,000.
Three times in the last 3 years, my daughter's mustang experienced uncontrolled acceleration.the engine raced without pushing on the accelerator. The brake was useless.twice she was in traffic and narrowly avoided a crash.this week my wife was using the car and it did the same thing, and she crashed into a building.she was backing out of a parking space when it happened, hitting a pole. Then, when placed in drive, the car raced forward.again the brake was ineffective.two years ago, this was reported to a ford dealer, who didn't find, nor fix, anything.strangely, they now have no record of the problem being reported. However, ford does.
On september 1, 2010, the gas gauge on the vehicle failed - reading more than full, and other various irregular readings. Repaired for $75, then failed again next day. Have not repaired again as dealer estimates cost at $1500 due to multiple failures according to their tests. Gas light still works when fuel is very low. On november 1, 2010, the speedometer failed - reading 80 mph when vehicle is stopped. Have not repaired, using gps to estimate speed.i contacted ford about these issues as they seem very common with this model & year vehicle by a quick search online. They advised that i should just get it fixed at the closest dealership. Given the frequency of this failure i feel they should be responsible as the original parts must be faulty given the number of people posting the same issues online. Ford advised that your agency was the only one that could order a recall. I would think that knowing how much gas you have or knowing how fast you are going are valid safety issues that ford should be required to fix at their expense.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle accelerated independently to 115 mph. The contact had to shift into neutral in order to slow down the vehicle. In addition, the brake pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to respond. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.
Throttle body failed as i was driving at speed on the freeway. When it failed, the vehicle immediately went into idle mode which made it very dangerous to avoid traffic as i attempted to move onto the shoulder of the freeway. The car moved at no more than 5mph! the repair is very expensive. I feel that this part should not fail after just 76,000 miles. Attached is the repair bill.
Speedometer sticks in my 2005 ford mustang. It seems to do this when it is cold out. It does this all the time. I bought the vehicle used.
The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang.the contact stated that the vehicle suddenly accelerates on its own.the first failure occurred in february of 2009 while driving 20 mph.she took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced an unspecified part.on may 25, 2008, while slowing down at an intersection, the vehicle proceeded to accelerate.the contact depressed the brake pedal with both feet, but the vehicle continued to accelerate and proceed through traffic.she was able to steer into a parking lot and place the gear into neutral to stop the vehicle.she waited for a while before restarting the vehicle and driving to her residence.the vehicle will be towed to the dealer.the dealer stated that the part they replaced could be defective and may have caused the failure to recur.they further stated that if the repair is electrical, it could be very costly because the vehicle is out of warranty.the vin was unknown.the failure mileage was 24,000 and current mileage was 32,000.
Dt: while backing car into garage vehicle was in reverse.consumer had to putit in drive to moveforward a bit with foot on the brake at the time.with slight brake pressure andease the engine revvedand lunged forward and struck the right side on driver's side mirror into the side the garage when thevehicle accelerated forward.consumer was able to get control of vehicle by slamming on the brakes and putting ignition into park which stopped the acceleration. Had towed to a ford dealer, who did a diagnostics check which reported no codes or failures.the car was in dealer 2 days with no repairs, no problems were found.would not fix mirror because they could not duplicate a problem.this was the first and only incident.
When the brake pedal is pressed the engine revs up and the car accelerates before starting to slow down. This has occurred 4 times recently.
Corrosion on the hood, water leaking on pass. Side door, water leaking under the glove box, bissell and gauges not working, speeds up in excessive speed without giving gas,
While backing into my garage, foot on brake, shifted into reverse, car took off full throttle. Hit wall of garage bounced off wall hit concrete retaining wall. Damage to passenger side back qtr panel, rear end and buckled the driver side. Damages est over $6000.00. Took back to ford and they said found nothing wrong with vehicle.
-the contact stated that while idling the engine would suddenly rev up to 2500 rpm.the 2005 ford mustang would then lunge forward, causing the vehicle to accelerate without touching the gas pedal.the contact stated that he has been experiencing this failure since he purchase the vehicle.the contact currently has the vehicle at sheltz ford and this is the first time he has brought it to this dealership, but took it to four different dealership trying to fix the vehicle'smalfunction.the dealerships stated that there isn't anything wrong with the vehicle and that he might be driving the vehicle incorrectly.updated 1/29/2006 - when the vehicle was taken to the dealer they informed him that the high rev would go away and that it was a normal break-in condition.
I purchased a 2005 mustang on june 17, 2005.on july 6, 2005, while in traffic i noticed in stop and go traffic the car was accelerating when it should have been decelerating.i actually smelled rubber burning from the tires that were still moving although the break was pressed.when i began to accelerate, the car acted as if it was in neutral and would not move for approximately 4 to 5 seconds, but the enginereveled up high then the car jerked and accelerated on its own. On july 8, 2005 while stopping at a stop sign the car accelerated when it should have decelerated causing the tires to continue to turn, once again i smelled the rubber burning from the tire.on june 11, 2005, car accelerated when stopping. I took the car in to automax ford, explained what was happening, took repair office attendant for a test drive, problem did not happen during the test drive.attendant said if it happens again bring it in.on july 12, 2005, accelerated at stop sign, when tried to accelerate car would not move, then kicked into gear after 4 to 5 seconds accelerated high and sped off.july 13, 2005, accelerated when stoped, july 14, 2005, when stopped and started car would not move when accelerated.called automax ford spoke with same repair attendant, voiced my concern of being afraid to drive the car.i have kids and this car is not safe. Asked attendant for a loaner car becasue i have no other transportation and hesaid he will call me when a loaner car is available.pleaded with him not to forget about me and how afraid i was to drive the car.i haven't made the first payment on this car and it is causing problems for me.
Dt: the consumer stated when pulling into a parking lot at a very low speed the vehicle suddenly accelerated when brake pressure was applied.the vehicle slowed then quickly surged forward.he placed the vehicle into neutral and turned the engine off.he took the vehicle to the dealer, who inspected the vehicle.the diagnostic test did not show any codes.they could not duplicate the problem.the dealer insisted there was nothing wrong with the vehicle.

Engine goes to fuel throttle while driving on highway or in town & also when at a full stop on its owni have to either shut off ignition or if driving put vehicle inneutral then hit throttle to stop the high rpm extremely unsafe. Have not driven car in over two monthd
My 05 v6 mustang's instrument cluster is going out. The tactomiter stays at zero at all times and the speedomiter varies. At time my speedomiter acts normal then it will go bellow zero. My speedomiter will fix its self after 10 - 15 minutes of the car being turned off. I have noticed, on the internet, that many people have the same problem with my exact year model even if they have really low milage. I believe that ford should recall and fix this problem because not being able to tell how fast you are going is quite the saftey hazard. I believe that the only reason why for hasnt recalled it yet, is because they charge $500 - $800 at the ford dealership to get it fixed. Thanks for your time.
When i shift from park or neutral position to drive, the car surges forward. This has happened both when the car is in driveway stationary and intermittently at a stoplight.the date below that is required is incorrect; it has been doing it since i got the car i believe in feb 2005, but i didn't think of it being a safety issue until it was passed down to my daughter this year; for someone that isn't prepared, it could easily cause an accident
2005 ford mustang accelerates on its own. Consumer states that the vehicle will accelerate on its own. He states that the rpm's would be up to 1500. He states that since then, now it accelerates up to 2500 rpm's.a flight recorder was installed in the vehicle. The flight recorder captured the problem the consumer was referring to. The flight recorder was then sent to ford engineering and they stated the computer was demanding the vehicle to accelerate. The consumer also stated the transmission did not shift smoothly. The transmission would clunk when the clutch was let out, especially in lower gears.
Dt: starting about a month ago, the car began having a problem with the accelerator. The owner was at a stop sign. Car was completely stopped and car accelerated to 60 mph and owner had to put car in neutral and kicked the gas pedal until the rpm's came down to normal. Then it was taken to dealer who reported no problem. Then about three weeks later on interstate, owner was going about 60 and the car accelerated to 80 mph. The car was taken to dealer again, and the dealer put on a black box to record events. The owners are afraid to drive it because they are unable to determine what is wrong or have it repaired. The vehicle is now sitting. The problem is intermintent.dt: starting about a month ago, the car has having a problem with the accelerator. The owner was at a stop sign.

Problen 1: when slowing to a stop, maybe 5 mph or so, then pressing on the gas pedalto accelerate, the engine rpm's increase as if the transmission is in neutral, then jumps into gear causing a sudden jerk forward. The problem has been reported and confirmed by ford dealership.problem 2: started vehicle, with foot on brake put in reverse and heard a strange noise and blue smoke outside passenger window. The right rear tire was "burning rubber" pulled shift leaver back to nuetral and engine rpm normal. Possibly related to the problem above or i could ahave had my foor on brake and gas pedal at the same time but can not that easily.
On 7 march 2007, while driving down the highway at speed limit of 55, my 2005 ford mustang accelerated to over 100 mph.the gas pedal was all the way to the floor.i had to put the vehicle in neutral and find a place to pull over.i held my foot on the brake to try to slow down, but this only caused the vehicle to fishtail.i finally made it to a gravel driveway and put it in park, but the accelerator stayed on the floor causing my tire to spin throwing gravel and then they began to smoke.i killed the engine and had to call roadside assistance to be towed to the local dealer.accelerator never lifted back to normal position.car is currently being checked at the ford dealership.
While pulling into a garage, the accelerator pedal became stuck, and the vehicleaccelerated through the garage wall into the kitchen.the consumers daughter had to shift the vehicle into park to stop it. The consumers wife sustained injuries, and was transported to a local hospital.dealer andmanufacturer werenotified.
On december 30, 2005, my daughter (age 17) was preparing to stop for a red light, as she hit the brakes, she stated: "the car accelerated (full throttle), and would not stop. She called us by phone (crying) and reported the incident. We asked if she was ok and whether she could drive the car. She said yes. She drove the car back home (approximately 3 miles) where we (father and mother) questioned her about the incident. She stated: "she was driving about 50 mph and when she applied the brakes the car accelerated. I was unable to stop and went through a red light". At this point, my wife and i believed she somehow hit both the brake and accelerator pedals simultaneously. She stated emphatically, this was not the case and she would never drive the vehicle again.on monday january 2nd, at approximately 3:00 pm,i was driving the subject vehicle when the accelerator stuck full throttle. I pressed the brakes as hard as i could but the car continued to accelerate until i turned the ignition to the off position. I was in the center lane of the highway. I restarted the car (for fear of being run over by on-coming traffic, raining, decreased visibility), placed my foot on the brake, placed the car in gear to gather momentum, turned off the ignition, and rolled into a parking lot. The throttle remained open. I contacted ford who picked up the vehicle.team ford could not find anything wrong with the vehicle and wanted to return the car. I refused to accept the car for the following reasons:- car failed in full-throttle position (fail-safe position should have been no-throttle)- error codes did not identify this condition - (ford had not included this in their failure modes analysis)- replacement parts may have the same problem - - needed assurances from ford in writing that the root cause to this problem had been identified and corrected.ford corporate is sending an engineer to inspect the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2005 ford mustang. The contact stated that the instrument panel failed. The fuel gauge would read empty when the vehicle was full of gasoline. In addition, the speedometer and the oil level gauge failed. The contact took the vehicle to a mechanic for inspection and they informed him that the speedometer cables needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the problem was common for all 2005 ford mustangs. The failure mileage was 75,000.
Dt:while the contact's wife was using the cruise control the accelerator would go to the floor.she had to press the accelerator repeatedly to get it to turn off.this happened twice.the vehicle has not yet been to a dealership to be inspected.
January 3, 2006 the driver was traveling north on i-24 (nashville, tn.).the cruise control was on!she prepared to turn off i-24, at haywood lane exit, she applied brakes.the car first slowed down to 40 mph.then accelerated/sped up.the car was exited the highway at great speed.the driver braked again, the car slowed down a little.the car immediately sped up, with such force the driver was thrown to the back of her seat.pressing the brakes now had no effect.the consumer cleared the exit lane onto haywood, the car was still speeding.the driver faced no cross traffic at the intersection of haywood lane/antioch pike ( intersection-haywood the i and antioch pike the top of the t).the driver car was stopped by running into a car and a van at a gas station.the vehicles were spun around and hit the gas station at the t.the driver has driven this highway turn off andintersection over 23 years.she has been driving this make and type of mustang for several years.she has owned 5 mustangs.the driver was transported to hospital by ambulance.with a broken nose, broken foot (right where the foot was positioned over the brake), cracked ribs, bruised and lacerated face/ legs.after a hospital stay and follow-up visits before being able to return to work.ford consumer affairs was contacted and they did a telephone interview of the above factors.questions seemed to be aimed at determining if an electronic malfunction had occurred.the questioner may have been reading from a checklist.later, we received a letter from ford demanding all sorts of information. This was forwarded to ford.about 1 month later, we received a curt two line letter indicating "we are unable to offer any assistance at this time".our insurance company elected to try to perform a crash analysis.we apprised them of the similar cruise control on this website and provided information on "rogue signals" and other data concerning this event.results pending.
The 2005 mustang windshield glass seems to be much "softer" than others on the market.with only a few thousand miles on the car i started noticing quite a few very small (pin size) chips in the glass.now after 17k miles there are thousands of these little chips.this windshield looks worse than my old pickup that had over 250k miles.i have spoken to several other 05 owners in the forums and have found that they too are experiencing something similar to this issue with their vehicle.the dealer stated that it too seemed to be an excessive amount of chips when looking at the general condition of the rest of the vehicle.a few minor chips on the front fascia and hood are all that there is up front.no gravel roads in my area, not much construction either.my habits when driving are to avoid large vehicles and stay in the other lanes when behind one.
