2001 Ford Mustang Electrical system Problems

“Twice now, when attempting to start the car, it does not want to start. It makes the cranking sound, but will not turn over. The first time, I tried 3 times and on the fourth try, it finally turned over. The second time, it finally turned over on the fifth try. I took it to the Ford dealership after each problem. The first time, they could not figure out what the problem was, but they replaced the idling switch/valve. Six days later, it happened again. Took back to Ford the next day. They said they could not duplicate the problem. …”

“Where it shows how many miles it's digital and it constantly goes off. Smells of gasoline and like something is burning every time drive it. Has a very rough idle and when a /c is on the car has absolutely no power, also burns gas very quick. Exterior head lights lights are dim and I just installed new one yet still dim”

After several loose connections, the car dieing without warning and no resolution to the problem I threatened to get an attorney. The master mechanic had no explanation why the other mechanics didn't resolve the problem. …”

“A coil pack has failed four times in the last 3 months. When it starts going bad the car lurches (looses and regains power multiple times) when you are accellerating, and stalls when you decellerate. Both issues are safty issues as the loss of power when accellerating could cause a drivers timing to be bad (for instance when leaving a side street into on coming traffic), and the stalling cuts all of the power equipment. I have asked Ford to replace all of the coil packs now, instead of continuing to leave me in dangerous cituations, and they have not done so to date. …”
