Called Ford dealership to ask if a there was a recall, no recall at all. Took vehicle for service and neck filler was replaced. They had no clue what caused a neck filler to go bad. Ford should look into this for safety reasons.”
NHTSA complaint #10165611, filed 2006-08“I purchased a 2000 Mustang Gt. When cold, and putting the vehicle in drive or reverse, it will suddenly jump forward or reverse depending on if your in reverse or drive. It is if it gives itself gas. I tried contacting Ford and they said there was a problem, but not something that they were prepared to deal with at this time. This is a safety hazard that if someone is not prepared, will cause them to go into traffic, hit a young child or gas pump. This is not isolated, I have spoken to several people that have had the same problem. …”
