On 8/27/2001 I took our car to our ford dealer due to it feeling lit it was running out of gas even thought it had gas. They could not find anything wrong. On 09/02/2001 while driving to california we had the same problem. Due to it being a holiday weekend it could not be looked at until 09/04/2001. Future ford of roseville calif. Had to replace the fuel tank sender, cluster asy. Sndr & pump asy. And filter asy. On our way home from a trip to ca. On 05/30/02 we had the same problem again, this time while on hwy 50 in utah. The car bucked and acted like it was out of gas. It stalled resulting in no power for steering or braking. While trying to steer the car to the side of the road on a curve, it went across the road in front of oncoming cars, almost resulting in a accident. *jb ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****762652

When clutch disengages rpms drop too low and vehicle stalls. Loses all power steering and brakes. Dealer can not identify cause. *ak consumer adds engine stalls easier if A/C is on, and/or when brakes are applied. Dealer replaced powertrain control module and mass air flow, but problem still exist. Also consumer is a hearing metallic ticking noise on cold engine. Air bladder deflates after 1/2 hour. Dealer replaced seat air bladder. Drivers side front and back window will not seal after rolling up at times.

The problem is the engine stalls. This happens when the engine is warm or cold. It also happens after the clutch has been disengaged after being at speed and the rpms are decreasing to the programmed idle RPM. However, instead of stopping at the idling RPM, the engine RPM dips to low and the engine stalls. I lose power steering and brakes which cause a very dangerous situation. I also noticed that this happens more often if I am going around a turn or turning on the AC (both items require more power from the engine)while disengaging the clutch. In total, this has happened 5 times during the 30500 miles. *ts *jb ****dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis****761876

Car kills out frequently when turning; when the car stalls out, the wheels lock up and nearly cause accidents. The stalling began immediately after we pruchased the vehicle. When I took it into the dealer, they stated there had been numerous complaints of the mustang gt's killing out around corners. They have no fix at this point and have made no concern for my safety. I've nearly gotten into a hand full of accidents because of this "defect". I'm riding around in a brand new car that I consider very unsafe. You never know when it will stall out and lock up. The dealer initially stated they believed the stalls were caused by the hot weather. Well, it's now december in denver, co and it's quite cold out and the car is still killing out around corners. Within the last 3 months, the problem is occuring even more frequently. The problem seems to be getting worse at time progresses. Ford has not offered me a replacement vehicle until they can figure out the problem. This is my only vehicle to and from work and I put my life in jeopardy everytime I drive it. My warranty expires at 36, 000 miles and I will be left to deal with this problem that I've had since day one of my purchase.

The engine stalls while driving, in traffic, on the freeway, where/whenever. It just cuts out, whether the engine is warm or cold. We have had it to 5 different dealerships to fix the problem and they say there is nothing wrong or they don't know what's wrong.

Upon rapid deceleration, engine stalls. When this occurs, all power assist features (brakes, steering) are lost. This has happened several times and has been dismissed as "not able to recreate" by the dealership.

Upon deceleration, vehicle drops idle to 400-500 RPM and fluctuates. Sometimes stalls, causing loss of power steering, and brakes. Vehicle was serviced, replaced idle air control valve, reducing intensity and frequency of problem, not correcting it. Car has been taken in for service three seperate times, twice they could find nothing wrong with the vehicle. Upon consulting with other 2000 mustang gt owners, it is common problem. Some vehicles are still stalling heavily upon deceleration. If vehicle stalls, power brakes and steering are lost without warning, possible causing an accident. I am encouraging others with same problem to report to nhsta. This problem was reported to ford consumer relations today, 5/10/01. This problem occurs on 99-2000 mustang gt with manual transmission.

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.

Dealer checked and found nothing noteable, made minor adjustment to throttle settings. 1 week later, second instance occurred, motor dying 3 times. Driver forced to place manual transmission in neutral, depress clutch, and restart motor, which restarted each time, but forced driver to attempt to start car, control car, and stop car simultaniously.
