“Was driving on the freeway on my gay home and when I exit the thermostat housing started leaking antifreeze and my tires got damped with the antifreeze and then when I was driving one the painted road my car fishtailed and lost control of the car until it came to a complete stop I was able to take control and turned back on the road when I got to the next stop light it started to release steam from under the hood. Good thing I was a saturday afternoon and I did not hit nor got hit by any drivers. I have a dash cam that captured the event as it happened. The video is too big to upload.”
NHTSA complaint #11161008, filed 2018-12, 65,000 miles“Ford Mustang in 2006 noticed days later heat coming up from the floor of the car. It was extreme & I took to dealer several times in the first 3 months, but Ford didn't think anything was wrong. I don't take the car out on long trips as the car heats up too much in the interior and the floor by my feet gets too hot for comfort. I have about 25k miles on the car as I will only take it on short local routes. Two years ago the fuel tank stopped working right. I believe it is the vapor lock system. I had an electrical problem with the vehicle within 1 month of owning the car. …”
