Living in boston on december 18th i went out to my 2006 mustang gt 4.6 liter it was parked and i engaged the car to start. the parking brake was not working correctly was very loose. and it is never like that. brakes feel stiff in back feels like a toughing,,,i was on a small embankment in neutral and car did not roll back at all. my guess it parking handle spring is off track or some spring broke ..is this a problem in cold weather..never had this happen before. *tr
Previously filed complaint odi# 10319368. parking brake will not disengage, passenger side rear brakes and rotor had to be replaced at the tune of $200. that was 4 weeks ago and it is happening again. google 2006 mustang defects and this seems to be a common issue due to a faulty rubber boot. i bought the car used from a ford dealer (it had 4000 miles on it and less than a year old. most places want to charge several hundred dollars to replace. vehicle has 31,000 miles, this is crap! *tr
After the unusually cold weather my rear brakes are not working as well as they were before. the brake pads have been replace 3 months prior. the emergency brake is now loose. now that the temperature is warmer,the emergency brake lever is still loose and it still feels like i am only braking with my front brakes. i have not had this repair yet because i cant afford it at the moment. *tr
Starting at approx. 50mph i experience a shimmy in the steering wheel, most of the time. from time to time it will not shimmy when i reach the 50mph but as soon as i stop and start again the shimmy returns. i took it back to the dealer and all they did was balance the tires and did not make a difference. so i have had the car aligned, tires/rims force road balanced, new rotors, brake pads,bearings checked and still have the same shimmy. dealer will not help and i nor anyone else knows what to try next. *tr
Dt*: the contact stated the brakes have not stopped the vehicle on three separate occasions. this occurred at no particular speed and with no warning. the dealership was unable to determine a problem.
