2006 Ford Mustang: won't start

Filed Apr 8, 2014 · Body, Electrical · FL

When someone finally dies from this incident which has been reported numerous times by consumers both on this site and with tsb's from ford issued as early as 2007 then someone will take notice just like what just happened at gm. Please do something before someone dies. There are multiple electrical failures due to a serious water leak affecting the entire car. My 2006 ford mustang has been at the dealership since feb. 8 2014 and we just picked it up for this issue which was supposedly fixed once before. Now with another fee of $1,200.00 paid we picked up our car after 2 months and upon driving the car home the AC is not working and the sensor lights are on for the door!!! What does it take for someone to realize there is a major problem here? This comes after an extensive water leak that caused serious mold damage inside the car along with electrical issues,one of which a new battery was needed. This was first "repaired" in 5/2013 but was not repaired because in 12/2013 there was a massive interior flood which lead to a massive interior mold problem and the car also would not start and was towed to two separate dealerships. No one wants to assume responsibility and there is a huge amount of data out there supporting the fact that ford has known about this issue as early as 2007. The manager at the ford dealership told us that although he would assume no responsibility for the car because ford has not issued a recall he would not let his wife or children drive in that car!!

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.

March 2010, just driving down the road and came to a stop sign, car died. Everything seemed fine until recently, july 2010, when the car stalled about 5-6 times while I was trying to cross the road in traffic. I had 2 people nearly run into me before I could actually get it pulled over to the side. Then, it wouldn't start back up with me. I had to let it set for a few mins, tried again and it finally started back up. Had it diagnosed at the ford dealership, and there is a throttle body issue, needs to be replaced. There is no rhyme or reason to when this happens. I have not had it replaced bec I am on unemployment and do not have the money right now. I need my car for interviews and a job when I finally find one. :(

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 ford mustang. While driving 40 MPH, the contact heard a loud pop and the vehicle shut off without warning. The vehicle was unable to be restarted and was towed to the dealer. The dealer was unable to diagnose the cause of failure, but suggested that it could be the inertia switch. No repairs were made. Four days later, the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure once more. The dealer informed the contact to depress the inertia switch when the failure occurs. Approximately two months later, the vehicle failed to start. The contact depressed the inertia switch, but the vehicle still would not start. The vehicle eventually started about an hour later. The dealer has not diagnosed the failure as of june 14, 2007. The current mileage is 9,800 and failure mileage was 6,500.

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.
