1999 Ford Mustang: engine stalls while driving

Filed Aug 8, 2002 · Engine · NC

Car stalls when starting on a cold engine regardless of outside temp. Something sticks under hood. If you hold your foot on accelerator, it will stay running but will abruptly die when let off pedal. Even if you start driving, it can still stick, causing engine shutoff while moving resulting in loss of p. Steering, brakes, etc., has been in under warranty once, was not fixed. Does this on about 1 out of 10 cold starts randomly. Have heard numerous complaints about this from other mustang owners. Needs to be a recall !

Several months ago my car would stall whenever I would slow down (pressing the clutch and brake). I would have to restart my car while coasting, because my brake pedal would not go down to allow me to stop. I took it to audubon ford in baton rouge, la for service. They replaced the idle air control valve. The problem didn't disappear, but became much less frequent. Today, I was on the interstate and had to slow down for traffic. It stalled again, and worse, my brakes stopped working. This is a very serious issue and needs to be recalled.

Car has stalled on me on four occations. Three times were during turns and I lost all power (brakes and steering). I almost had an accident due to the stalling. Last occurance was on 12/30/99. It stalled whenever my foot was off the accelerator. The dealer has been notified of earlier incidences and could not find a problem. This has been a dangerous situation. My children, others, or myself could have been killed or seriously injured since I have no control once the car stalls.

Pre-accident conditions: daylight, raining, car stopped at red light. A few minutes prior to arriving at the red light the driver's power seat moved all the way forward completly on its own accord after stopping at the red light I re-adjusted the driver's seat and when the light turned green I proceeded making a right turn in my normal "old lady" fashion. About 3/4 through the 90 degree turn the rear wheels lost traction and began to slide to the left. I immediately hit the brake and turned the wheel to the left. (I suppose it is possible that I accidently hit the cruise control button located on the wheel at this time). Anyway the car engine contiued to rev and the rear wheels continued to spin, driving me into a complete 360 degree turn, all the time with my food hard on the brake pedal. While in this spin the rear of the car jumped a median curb twice, crossed two lanes of asphalt, jumped another curb and finally crash into a concrete light pole. Only then did the car stall and the drive wheels stop spinning.

Car stalls out while in motion. Has happened turning a corner, on a bumpy road (2" road construction drop off), and for no apparant reason. Does not happen very often, but can be very dangerous if in heavy traffic. 2) when trying to put car in reverse while stopped (coming out of my garage or a parking space, for example) gear shift refuses to go into reverse. Putting into first does not help. I have found that letting up on the clutch just the right amount will usually let it go into reverse. 3) seatbelts are much to sensitive. Just driving down the road you can hear them repeatedly clicking, locking and unlocking. You have to make any movement very slowly or else you will be snapped back to the seat. Turning to look over your shoulder at traffic will get you locked in. Extremely dangerous. Much safer for the driver to go without using the seatbelt, because they are more likely to cause an accident.
