I have a 2005 ford mustang with 18000 miles on it. A week before the 18,000 mile service a check engine light came on, it was discovered that codes p-2004, p-2005 were present and a tsb from ford, # 06-7-10 were present. This is a problem that is known by ford, but unless you are under warranty or have an extended warranty, ford will not help. The problem is the motion control valves and throttle linkage. The linkage can become damaged and cause the vehicle to loose acceleration or for the accelerator to get stuck during acceleration and to fail to stop causing the vehicle to accelerate out of control. This is a design flaw in the vehicle and there is nothing that I could of done to prevent it as it is built and sold by ford motor corporation. I believe that ford is negligent in this as they are aware, and will not repair it unless it is under warranty or the owner wants to cough up a couple of thousand dollars of their own money for the repair. This is an ongoing problem and needs to be fixed by ford.

Dt*: the contact stated while driving 3 MPH at night in the rain, the entire electrical system failed, except for the center brake light. All the lights, the radio , the outlets, and the electric windows failed simultaneously. This was accompanied by all the engine warning lights on the dashboard illuminating, as well as the digital readout giving warning messages. The contact depressed the brake, and everything worked again. The battery was disconnected briefly, which made everything function intermittently upon reconnecting it. The battery was disconnected a second time for a few hours, which fixed the problem. The vehicle was not seen by a dealer.
