When brakes are applied brakes have slow reaction time and stall causing the car to run into oncoming traffic on numerous occasions. When driving and applying brakes car vibrates almost like a pumping effect and then skids.

A coil pack has failed four times in the last 3 months. When it starts going bad the car lurches (looses and regains power multiple times) when you are accellerating, and stalls when you decellerate. Both issues are safty issues as the loss of power when accellerating could cause a drivers timing to be bad (for instance when leaving a side street into on coming traffic), and the stalling cuts all of the power equipment. I have asked ford to replace all of the coil packs now, instead of continuing to leave me in dangerous cituations, and they have not done so to date. As ford doesn't pay for rental cars it is also getting real expensive for me to replace each coil pack when it goes out. The dealers service agent told me that this is a prevelent issue with ford.

My v6 mustang stalls while in motion causing the steering and brakes to freeze. This is a potentially deadly problem. It has happened four times; once at 30 MPH, 60 MPH, 45 MPH, and 40 MPH. The car only has 4500 miles on it. I also have a problem with a heater display light going out. Dealership can't identify the cause of either of these problems. It's been in the shop four times for the stallling and they've been able to determine nothing. I have anxiety while driving the vehicle as it stalls out at any time with no warning whatsoever. Very, very scary.
