Filed Sep 2, 2015 · Electrical, Engine · 88,000 miles · MI

In city traffic at a stop light, went to step on the gas to accelerate, the engine started extreme shaking & the car would not go. Shut off the engine & restarted it. The wrench light & check engine light came on the dashboard and car went into limp mode & lost all acceleration. After multiple attempts at restarting, the car was not drivable. Had the car towed to the dealership, advised service rep of consumer satisfaction program 13n03 & was informed that ford will not honor the program for 2006 mustang.

Water first noticed leaking inside the vehicle on 5/2013 and was -tsb performed on seals at cowl panel. Car leak was not fixed and started leaking again at same sight, this time with extensive mold spore damage which can be a significant health risk. This car has had multiple(at least 5 times)check engine light coming on,several times the car has just stalled while driving and so far 2 batteries and 2 alternators have been put in to this car and it makes you wonder if water has been leaking since purchase into the electrical system of this car. This has been a known problem at ford since 2007 but a recall was never issued. I am not sure what it takes to issue a recall but I would hate it to be a respiratory illness or a crash that would bring it to this.

2006 ford mustang-car brought into dealership on 5/2013 with c/o water leaking on passenger floor board. This was supposedly fixed.check car engine light was on for the fifth time and this time they replaced the alternator for the second time. Car now(2/14) would not start and the interior of the car is full of mold spores! I have read the forums on line and it is well documented that ford has known about this leak since 2007 and never recalled this because it was not a "safety" issue however I think it is a huge safety issue when there is water leaking on the inside of the car, the windshield on the inside looks like it is raining and the car has had multiple electrical issues several of which the car has stopped working while driving on the interstate. Now on top of this we have a major health issue and the dealer does not want to take responsibility for this.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 ford mustang. The contact stated as soon as she would release her foot from the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would sporadically stall and the check engine light would illuminate. The dealer was unable to diagnose the failure and the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to a local repair facility where the independent mechanic replaced the throttle. The failure continued to recur. The contact stated she was afraid to drive the vehicle. There were no further repairs. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000 and the current mileage was 6,046.

Have had this car in the shop two times previously. One because the fuel pump was bad, the second because there was a throttle variance and a variance in the transmission and the wrench came on in the vehicle then disappeared. This was checked and supposedly nothing was wrong with the car, because the wrench light was off and never came back on. On saturday dec. 16, 2006 there was another transmission variance and throttle variance with the car. Today, monday dec. 18, 2006 on my way to work, the engine light flashed on and off then disappeared.

During idle speed, car shuts off below 1,000 rpms and has to be re-started. During startup, car does not crank until about the third time it is turned over. Thought at first that this was due to bad gas. So I finished running tank out with heet, filled it up with gas from a different company and it is still doing the same thing. It is not gas. It does tie into the delivery of the fuel or the ignition of the car with is possibly a sensor problem. There are sensors that are not tied into the computer and relays and do not show up with the check service light. This same problem happened last month, but then re-occurred during this month more than once and the most recent was yesterday, 10/06/06. It is only getting worse. Something is wrong with the engine or the sensors. I have given the service department various ideas, since the engine light is not on, as to what could be causing it. They told me that if there was no light on in the car then it was my problem because they need a service engine light on in the car. It is not the gas that I have put in my car. I run 87 octane from shell. I have never had a problem with gas from shell. Also, the fuel gauge system in the car sticks and shows empty and bounces from empty to full to half-full for my tank and the miles per empty gauge on my display meter jumped from 5 miles to empty to 300 miles to empty down to 150 miles to empty.
