“In the morning, when it is freezing outside, my emergency brakes will not release. I have to wait until it warms up outside before I can drive my car. It has happened on two separate occasions, after sitting in my driveway stationery all night long.”
NHTSA complaint #10562574, filed 2014-02, 91,000 miles“The brakes on my 2006 Ford mustang locked up twice this winter. The brakes pads and rotors need to be replaced and are dangerous to drive with. The vehicle has less than 25,000 miles on it. The wear on the brakes is unusual and is not something that an owner would be checking at such low mileage. I have heard this happening on several Ford models.”
NHTSA complaint #10224209, filed 2008-04, 22,000 miles“I own a 2006 Ford Mustang Gt. The parking brake has faulty seals causing water to wander past them and freezing my brakes when its cold. It has done this for three years in a row and im so sick of it. Other mustang owners are having similar problems and I don't think this should cost the consumers to fix correctly.”
NHTSA complaint #10257670, filed 2009-02, 34,000 miles“Hesitation at acceleration and unintended acceleration. Hesitation was not corrected at dealership, I corrected through computer reprogram with diablo programmer to decrease amount of throttle delay, hesitation gone. Unintended acceleration corrected by modifying the brake pedal to increase distance between gas and brake pedals which are extremely to close, solved problem. Dealership mechanics are inept and unskilled. Took me half hour to identify and correct pedal issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10248455, filed 2008-11, 12,000 miles“My car is still under the extra care extended warranty. 3 weeks ago I was sitting at a traffic light I pushed the clutch in, to put into first gear and got ready for the light turn green, when my car suddenly lunched and the clutch master cylinder part pa6-gf25 broke . Part number pa6-gf25 broke and was lying inside the driver side interior floor. I can't believe Ford used a plastic piece part pa6-gf25 to hold the clutch pedal to the clutch master cylinder. After close inspection I notice that due to stress over time it was broken in half. …”
