We have classified the 2 complaints from 2005 Ford Mustang about FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER into the following categories.
Vehicle regularly stalls out at stops and/or loses power (accelerator will not give proper power to vehicle) so that in an intersection there is no ability to get vehicle out of traffic safely. also will lurch forward at stops on its own (with no power given to accelerator) which poses a safety issue for other drivers and/or pedestrians in my path. *tr
Low speed idle surge. *tr
Dt*: the contact stated while using the fuel pumps at various service stations fuel would spill out. the fuel spills from the tank before the automatic shutoff. after inspecting the vehicle the dealership replaced the breather tube and the fuel tank. the problem continued to occur. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer and was unable to remedy the problem. there are service bulletins for the fuel system, the manufacturer numbers are 05-15-12 and 06-3-13. the contact tried different gas pumps and different gas stations with the same results. sometimes it is so bad that one cannot even get more than a couple gallons into the car, while having it spill and run down the side and on the underside of the car. *ak
My 2005 mustang gt has had several problems since ownership. i purchased this car new and even had to order the details i wanted on the car. since ownership, i have had the car into the service department on several occasions. there is a vibration that has been unable to be identified as of yet. despite the service departments calls to ford. vibration is still present. the other problem is the fuel gauge drops to "e" and an error light comes on. service dept. was unable to detect problem until the service engine light remained on. computer code said that the problem was in the sulfur in the fuel. am to suppose to add an additive to fuel occasionally. feel that this should be totally unnecessary since high-quality fuel is used and it is a new vehicle. apparently a service bulletin came out stating this problem. the fuel tanks are the same in other vehicles but this is a mustang problem???? this problem should be fixed without any other costs to consumers. also, not being able to fill fuel tax to maximum capacity. was told that it must have had an "air bubble." the service department at ford in grand junction colorado is trying very hard to fix the problems but is getting no where with ford. i have my car in more times then i can drive it. they have now had the car 4 days!!!! i then received a recall on an item on my 2006 ford f150 king ranch. what is up ford??? two new vehicles, too many problems. *jb
Dt: the contact stated while driving on the freeway vehicle stalled. she managed to get the vehicle to the side of the road. the vehicle was then towed home because it was too late to have it towed to the dealership. the next morning the vehicle was towed to the dealership. the fuel pump module was changed. repairs to the vehicle where made under warranty.*ak
Unable to fill fuel tank. pump kicks off after a few seconds and will not fill tank. dealer replaced gas tank per ford tech line. problem was gone for about 1 month now having trouble again at certain gas stations. dealer called ford tech line again and was told that i would have to use gas stations that worked for filling gas tank and also was told the enginers at ford were no longer working on this issue. there is another person in the area with the same car having the same problem. if you would like his information please contact me.
