2000 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE CONSUMER FELT THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NO POWER AND WAS UNRESPONSIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT TWO ENGINE MOUNTING BOLTS WERE LOOSE. THE MECHANIC ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *NLM

AT 29,000 MILES AND 46 MONTH OLD, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. SUNCOAST FORD CLAIMS CODES SAY SOMEONE WAS INTO COMPUTER ON SUN.11/9. NOT TRUE! AND PO411 CODE = 'SECONDARY 'AIR PUMP IS NEEDED. PART IS $242.50 PLUS LABOR. NEITHER FORD NOR WARRANTY DIRECT WILL COVER THIS REPAIR. *LA

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT SEAT BELTS WILL NOT RETRACT OR MAY NOT COME OUT OF THE RETRACTOR. DRIVER STATES "FRONT PASSENGERS ARE NOT ABLE TO FASTEN THEIR SEAT BELTS". *AK *PH

ELECTRICAL SHORT IN WIRE HARNESS CAUSED FIRE. 2000 FORD MUSTANG ONLY HAS 61,000 MILES ON IT. *LA

MY 2000 MUSTANG GT, MANUAL TRANSMISSION, KEEPS CUTTING OUT SUDDENLY WITH DECELERATION AND I LOSE MY POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. VERY SCARY. THE IAC VALVE WAS REPLACED 18 MONTHS. AGO WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR, BUT I STILL HAD PROBLEMS. AFTER DOING THIS CONTINUALLY FOR 2 DAYS, THE DEALER CHANGED THE IAC AGAIN. FOUR DAYS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN, TWICE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND WHEN I CALLED FORD REGIONAL, I GOT NOTHING USEFUL NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT CAUSES THIS. *LA

WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE FLEW UP. THIS ACTION CAUSED THE HOOD TO BE BENT AND THE TOP OF THE VEHICLE TO BE DAMAGED. THE DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.

CAR HAS BEEN STALLING, STALLED THREE TIMES WITHIN TWO MILES. IT'S CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP, DEALER RECOMMENDS TO RE-PROGRAM THE COMPUTER. I BELIEVE IT COULD BE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE IAC. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, WHEN THE CAR DIES, THERE IS NO POWER STEERING AND THE BRAKES BECOME VERY HARD TO DEPRESS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN HEAD ON COLLISION AT 15 MPH AND AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 45 MPH ANOTHER VEHILCE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF CONSUMER, CAUSING CONSUMER TO SLAM ON BRAKES. BRAKES LOCKED, CAUSING VEHICLE TO SKID. VEHICLE HAD EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER HAD BEEN CONTACTED.*AK

CONSUMER STATED WHILE TRAVELING, THE ENGINE STALLED. VEHICLE IS NOW IN ITS FIFTH REPAIR. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. PLEASE PROVIDED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *PH
