• 12/28/2025· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  This has happened since purchasing my personal 2006 Mustang GT new in 2006. I also see early S-197 Mustangs (2005—2007) in my shop that cannot be reliably refilled because fuel shoots out of the filler neck, splashes the operator, the side of the Mustang, and puddles on the ground. The defective On-board Refueling and Vapor Recovery (ORVR) system causes high internal fuel tank pressures that will also cause the filling station pump to cut off and prevent putting fuel in the tank. This creates a fire hazard as the spillage contacts the left hot tail pipe and muffler as well as a puddle of fuel that can be ignited by a spark, cigarette, etc. This problem is in direct violation of the Environmental Protection Agency emission standards that clearly state the operator is “expected to fill the fuel tank without spit back or spillage during the refueling event.” EPA emission regulations also require that service vents, also known as safety and vacuum relief valves, be installed in tanks to prevent excessive pressure or vacuum that can build up “due to tank filling or emptying.” The parts of the Ford ORVR system that contribute to the fuel tank pressure spikes and fuel spills include: 1.Poor fuel filler design. The filler pipe is narrow (5/8” to 3/4”) with a severe an S-bend before it reaches the tank. There is a spring-loaded plug at the top of tank built into the fill neck that closes the fill pipe until fuel pushes the plug down to open the fuel tank. 2.Poor fuel tank design. The saddle style tank has two sections that “saddle bag” over the drive shaft making the opening between the two tanks very narrow and at the top of the tank. 3.Insufficient tank venting system. The capacity of this vent system is not sufficient to vent the fuel tank during refueling. Please see attached file that documents the problem and possible solutions. I also recommend sharing your many complaints on this problem with the EPA as the problem is also in their area.

  CAR SUDDENLY WENT INTO LIMP MODE, NO REASON. JUST STARTED IT UP ONE DAY AND IT JUST DID NOT WANT TO MOVE. NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO GET IT OUT OF THE MODE. MANY MECHANICS HAVE TRIED WITH NO LUCK. NOW A MECHANIC SAYS I HAVE A FAULTY COMPUTER. 3 YEARS OF IT ACTING THIS WAY.. COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS SHOWED MANY THINGS MESSED UP, EVEN AFTER REPLACING ALL OF THOSE (AND I AM SURE SOME WERE UNEEDED) THE CAR IS STILL IN LIMP MODE, HAS NO POWER AT ALL AND HAS BEEN BASICALLY DOWN FOR 3 YEARS. BEAUTIFUL LAWN ORNAMENT BUT IT BEING ALL I HAVE LEFT OF MY LATE HUSBAND, I'M NOT HAPPY IT JUST SITS THERE. NO MECHANIC WANTS TO EVEN TOUCH IT!

  WHEN I TRY TO PUT GAS IN MY CAR THE CAR WILL ONLY ALLOW ME TO PUT HALF OF A TANK IN THE CAR AND I HAVE TO FORCE IT TO TAKE MORE WHICH AS CAUSE THE GASOLINE TO OVERFLOW EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS NOT FULL. I HAVE TRIED TAKING IT TO VARIOUS GASOLINE STATIONS ALL DIFFERENT BRANDS TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY DIFFERENCES BUT HAVE NOT HAD ANY SUCCESS.ALSO THE VEHICLE IS STAIONARY. THIS ORIGINALLY HAPPEN IN 2019 BUT IT HAS HAPPEN EVERY TIME SINCE THEN. ALSO MY REVERSE LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF FOR SOME REASON. DON'T KNOW WHY.

• 12/24/2010· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  I HAVE A 2006 MUSTANG WITH ONLY 7500 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE OWNED IT NOW FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. TODAY I WAS DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND THE ENGINE JUST TURNED OFF. I PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. I DROVE HOME WITH NO ISSUES. I WAS ALMOST ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. IF YOU COMPLETE A GOOGLE SEARCH ON 2006-2009 MUSTANGS, THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE LISTED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, I CHECKED ALL THE FLUIDS IN THE CAR AND THEY WERE ALL FINE. IT DID NOT SOUND LIKE THEIR WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE; THIS SEEMS MORE LIKE A GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM, SOMETHING THAT FORD SHOULD RECALL AND FIX. BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF, THE STEERING WAS HARD TO CONTROL, IF I WAS GOING AT A FASTER SPEED, I MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. THIS COULD HAVE CREATED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

• 12/23/2017· AIR BAGS

  TAKATA RECALL FORD HAS NOW WARNED US BY MAIL THAT NO ONE SHOULD SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE REPAIR HAS BEEN MADE AND THAT THEY WILL BEGIN MAKING REPAIRS IN NHTSA REMEDY ORDER IN THE SPRING OF 2018. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. EXPECTING US TO NOT USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IN A MUSTANG (WHICH HAS ONLY ENOUGH SEATING SPACE IN THE BACK SEAT FOR A VERY SMALL CHILD WITHOUT A CAR SEAT) IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. AND, AS WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE WE WILL FALL IN THE REMEDY PRIORITY ORDER, IT COULD BE A VERY LONG TIME BEFORE OUR REPAIR PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO US AND WE ARE ABLE TO SAFELY TRANSPORT MORE THAN ONE PERSON IN THIS VEHICLE. SOMETHING MORE HAS TO BE DONE. THIS HAS GONE ON FAR TOO LONG.

  DRIVING MY 2006 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MUSTANG SCS ON THE FREEWAY AND ACCELERATED TO PASS A CAR WHEN THE THROTTLE WENT TO THE FLOOR AND BECAME STUCK. I HAD INTENDED TO ACCELERATE FROM ABOUT 65 TO 70. I TRIED TO BRAKE AND THIS PREVENTED ME FROM SPEEDING UP PAST 85 BUT DID NOT STOP THE CAR OR EVEN SLOW IT DOWN. THE THROTTLE WAS COMPLETELY STUCK. THIS LASTED FOR ABOUT 12 - 15 SECONDS AND THEN RELEASED ON ITS OWN. FLOOR MATS WERE NOT IN THE WAY AT ALL; THE FIRST THING I CHECKED. PLUS, I'D BEEN DRIVING PERFECTLY FINE UP TO THAT POINT AND DID NOT IN ANY WAY SHIRT THE MATS AROUND WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE A LOT OF POSTS ABOUT THIS IF YOU GOOGLE "2006 MUSTANG ACCELERATOR STUCK".
