About 2 1/2 months ago my boyfriend was driving my car. He ask me if I had ever had the "brakes not want to work on me" I was driving and I came to a stop sign. There were 2 cars already setting at the sign. When I hit my brakes hard they did not go down as they normally would it felt like somethhing was keeping the brakes from working. I jerked the steering wheel to the right to keep from hitting the cars in front jumping a curb then it was like the brakes kicked in and started working and locked up.
Master cylinder problems. Was replaced/repaired by dealership and returned. Brake still makes funny noise and is still "mushy" when applied. Fuel injection has be repaired 4 going on 5 times now.

Sensors have been replaced, injectors have been replaced and still not fixed. At idle/stop car jumps forward without accelorator applied.

Because of the location of the heater outlet relative to the gas pedal, I am unable to easily switch between the accelerator and the brake pedal; particuraly in emergency, panic situations where it is necessary to move immediately from one pedal to the other. I have shoe size 13 0or 14.
Car died out while driving at 45mph, almost went off the road because power brakes went out. This is happening to a lot of 1999-2001 mustang gts and ford seems to not know how to fix it.
Brake problems prior to accident, brakes would lock up, and stayed locked even after foot taken off brake pedal. Took vehicle to dealer twice, could not find anything wrong. While driving about 37 MPH vehicle went off road and into culvert.
Consumer states she has had to take vehicle in for several repairs, she experienced a burning smell and smoke coming from the engine, which resulted in oil getting on the engine due to dealer leaving the oil cap off, also water pump had to replaced, as well as the rocker arm gasket.
Vehicle will intermittently stall when I am attempting to come to a stop. When this happens I lose my power brakes and this has caused me to have to swerve to avoid hitting the car in front of me. This has happened at least 6 times. Dealer replaced fuel pump the first time. The second time the idle air control valve. And third the same iac valve. It will still stall. I believe this to be a serious safety issue and am filing the lemon law.
