“March 30, 2007 to whom it may concern: I have a 2000 Ford mustang gt-while driving home today 3/30/07 in heavy traffic, I heard a load pop, and then lost engine function. I was lucky that I was not killed. When I checked my engine, it had blown the spark plug-I thought this was an isolated problem until I checked on the internet, and read all of the incidents with fords spitting spark plugs. …”
NHTSA complaint #10186618, filed 2007-03, 97,594 miles“I am about to install, for the third time, a second day air pump into my 2000 Ford mustang. This is an emissions part and the mustang is designed to pass california emission standards. I live in wisconsin and this part has gone out 3 times. Also it can only be purchased directly from Ford for around 300 dollars. It always manages to make it just past the part warranty period then goes out. Ford will not do anything to help me except take more of my money. I looked into it and they only used this part in 1999-2000 mustangs and lincoln 2000-2001. …”
