2006 Ford Mustang GT Engine cooling Problems

“After changing the battery on my 2006 Ford Mustang Gt with 5 speed manual transmission it idles very rough and sometimes dies during driving or idles so low the power steering is not fully functional resulting in excessive steering effort. The car ran fine until the battery was replaced. I followed the relearn procedure in the owners manual but it did not help.”

“At 19,000 miles my car began overheating during the test drive and had radiator fluid spilled in the engine compartment. Inspecting the upper radiator hoses one of the clamps was broken. While replacing the clamp I discovered that another one was broken as well. A search online of complaints about this problem revealed similar complaints. I no longer have the old clamps.”

“My 2006 Mustang Gt has been in the service department three times within 2 months time. When you make a left or right turn there is a grinding sound. They have installed 2 clutch packs (kit-axle dif, 3 gear and pinions, and a new flange. I know it is not the way the vehicle is driven. It was bought new in march 2006 and it only has 7000 miles on it and this is february 2007. The car is not beat at all. If these vehicles are supposed to be high performance vehicles. Could you imagine what would happen if the rear end was to lock up? Am I the only one having this problem? …”

“Our Ford Mustang Gt that was purchased for our 17 yr old daughter was purchased 2-21-2006 it had its first problems at 629 miles on 3-4-2006 the dealership replaced some followers and some lifters and some camshaft parts. We've been told all should be replaced the whole bank. Dealer won't do anything about it car started smoking a week later and making ticking noise again. Dealer said it didn't do it there so nothing was done. Next, car started hesitating after driving on hwy couple hrs. Dealership replaced fuel pump and gear box was hot and rattling so they replaced it. …”

“Vehicle has intermittent hesitation problem. Could result in serious problem when entering parkway. Dealership is privy to this complaint, but say they can't do anything unless they create the problem which can't be done unless vehicle is driven on parkway for 1-2 hrs. Though this problem has occurred locally its not likely that technician will be able to re-create this driving locally. This problem can be a dangerous one if not repaired. Fords TSB recognizes what's causing problem and I have the solution for it. But once again, dealer says their hands are tied.”
