2004 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

I HAVE A 2004 MUSTANG COBRA. MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, TWICE I HAD THE CARPET NEAR THE GAS PEDDLE INTERFERE WITH THE OPERATION OF THE GAS PEDDLE. ONCE IT DID NOT ALLOW THE GAS PEDDLE TO RETURN TO ITS NORMAL POSITION WHEN MY FOOT WAS REMOVED. THE SECOND TIME THE CARPET FOUND ITS WAY UNDER THE GAS PEDDLE AND DID NOT ALLOW FOR PROPER USE OF THE GAS PEDDLE UNTIL THE CARPET WAS REMOVED TO ITS NORMAL POSITION. CAUSE SEEMS TO BE THAT THE CARPET DOES NOT STAY ATTACHED TO THE TABS THAT ARE TO HOLD IT IN PLACE.

HAVE HAD NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THE GAS PEDAL STICKING AND HAVING A PROBLEM WITH VIBRATION. MY 2004 FORD MUSTANG GT ALSO HAS PROBLEMS WITH TURNING OVER WHEN WARM. THE CAR HAS TO BE CRANKED MANY TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START. HAVE HAD THE INTO THE FORD DEALER OVER 5 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH NO RESOLUTION.

GAS PEDAL STUCK WITH THROTTLE OPEN. CARPET (NOT THE FLOOR MAT, BUT THE CARPET) HAD COME UNHOOKED FROM ITS HOLD DOWN SYSTEM AND WAS JAMMED UNDER THE THROTTLE KEEPING IT OPEN.

DT: THE CARPET ABOVE THE GAS PEDAL GETS CAUGHT IN THE GAS PEDAL. IT FOLDS BACK TOWARD THE GAS PEDAL. HE IS GOING TO CALL A DEALER TO SEE IF THEY WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM. HIS CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *AK

CARPET HUNG ACCELERATOR CAUSING VEHICLE TO RUN AT OPEN THROTTLE TILL I SWITCHED IT OFF AND COASTED TO A STOP! I HAVE CUT CARPET, TAPED IT DOWN AND MADE SURE IT CLEARED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.

THE CARPET ON MY 2004, V6, MUSTANG COUPE IS ROLLING DOWN FROM UNDER THE DASH AREA AND INTERFERING WITH DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH ALL THE WAY AND INTERFERING WITH THE GAS PEDAL.

COMPLAINT ON MY 2004 FORD MUSTANG GT (ORGINAL OWNER OF BOTH). VEHICLE HAS PROBLEMS RELATING TO THE POSITION OF THE CARPET AROUND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. AFTER MINIMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE (5000 MILES OR AROUND 3-5 MONTHS OF USE) A LARGE HOLE DEVELOPED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IF THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED FULLY OR ALMOST FULLY THE SIDE OF YOUR SHOE CAN CATCH ON THE HOLE LONG ENOUGH TO POSE A SAFTEY HAZARD OF NOT BEING ABLE TO TAKE YOUR FOOT IMMEADATLY OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AND HAVE TO BE VERY CONCIOUS OF MY FOOT POSITION ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHEN DRIVING TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM NOW THAT I AM AWARE OF IT. FORD DEEMS THIS PROBLEM AS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE CAR AND WILL NOT COVER REPLACEMENT OF THE CARPET UNDER MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRENTY. PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE, PLEASE CONTACT AND I WILL FORWARD THEM TO YOU.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 MUSTANG COBRA, AT ACCELERATION MY GAS PEDAL GOT STUCK UNDER THE CARPET, CAUSING THE CAR TO ACCELERATE A FULL THROTTLE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF IMMEDATELY TO AVOID BLOWING THE ENGINE AND/OR CRASHING.

DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, MY ACCELERATOR HAS BECOME STUCK IN THE CARPETING TWICE CAUSING TEMPORARY INABILITY TO CONTROL SPEED. I TRIED TO GLUE THE CARPET DOWN MYSELF, BUT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH "GIVE" IN IT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD MUSTANG. SHE IS CALLING IN RESPONSE TO THE INVESTIGATION NUMBER PE05038. THE CONTACT STATES THAT THE VEHICLE SOUNDS LIKE IT IS REVVING TOO MUCH WHILE CHANGING GEARS BECAUSE THE RPM'S STAY UP TO HIGH. THE CONTACT HAS CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR WHEN THEY FIRST PURCHASED IT, AND THEY TOLD HIM IT WAS THE NATURE OF THIS CAR. THE DEALERSHIP MUST HAVE SPOKEN WITH FORD IN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. ALSO, THEY WROTE A LETTER TO FORD AND CONTACTED THEM AS WELL ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *AK
