I pulled off the freeway into a rest stop area. My foot was on the brake, and only on the brake. I stopped in a parking space and moved the automatic transmission lever from drive to park. The RPM instantly increased from approximately 600 RPM in drive to approximately 6000 RPM in park. I took my foot off the brake pedal and gave the gas pedal a quick tap. The RPM returned to normal, about 750 RPM in park. The dealership inspected the car, but could not find anything wrong. They contacted ford, who maintained the incident could not have happened the way I described it. They further told the dealership not to perform any repairs unless a similar incident recurred. The dealership thinks the problem is with the fly by wire, throttle body and/or control of the flow system. *tr the consumer had concerns about brake fluid. The owner's manual stated to use dot 3 brake fluid. However, the dealer used dot 4 brake fluid. Updated 11/09/15.
2007 Ford Mustang brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 24 of 24, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I drive a 2007 mustang, manual transmission. In 2008, the emergency brake seemed to not be releasing all the way. I could tell this because a) my vehicle would slow down more quickly than before, b) on a slight grade, my vehicle would remain in place. This issue occured after normal use of e-brake not but 10 months after the brand new purchase from darcars in lanham, md. I took the vehicle in to lindsey ford in wheaton, md (around the same time the air bag module recall was issued...) and the representative told me that they "could not verify my concerns at this time". Having replaced the air bag module free of charge, I was idiotically appeased with just that and didn't press the e-brake issue futher. Coincidentally, as I was leaving their lot, I went over a speed bump which seemed to release the brake enough to not cause any noticable brake tension while driving. Needless to say, from that point on I was reluctant to use the emergency parking brake and alway kept my vehicle in gear when parked. Just recently, I had another issue with the clutch pedal-- gradually sinking to the floor (which I was told was an issue with the clutch slave), and again I went to lindsey to see if they could help. This time around, they notice that the e-brake is very much stuck, and suggested I replace the brake cable. $500.00 I do not have. They wont even bother to look at the clutch slave until the brake cables have been replaced.
Brake pedal was depressed and went to the floor. Had the mustang towed to local dealer. They could not find anything wrong with the brakes over a three day period. Oct 1st another brake failure with pedal going all the way to floor. Drove slowly to dealer. Service writer pressed brake and it went to floor. He related this is a recurring problem with 04 and 07 mustangs. Its in the shop for master cylinder replacement. Needs a safety bulletin on this from ford.
Tl- the contact owns a 2007 ford mustang. The contact was driving approximately 3 MPH in a drive thru lane. The brake pedal traveled to the floor without resistance when pressure was applied. The driver pumped the brakes numerous times. The gear selector was placed into "neutral"; then shifted into the "park" position. Immediately, the vehicle came to a complete stop. The vehicle resumed with the loss of brake power. The emergency brake was engaged while pumping the brake pedal, followed by a power response. The vehicle was able to continue in normal operation to the residence. The vehicle has not been driven due to the potential safety hazard. The authorized dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The vehicle has not bee repaired for the malfunction. The failure mileage was 15,300. The VIN was unavailable js
My caliper broke on my drivers side back wheel.....mechanic said it was unusual for the year and he also had another one with exact same problem and same exact side and wheel he thought that was unusual.
I am the owner of a 2007 ford mustang with a manual transmission. I have had the car to the dealership twice before the incident that occurred 04/11/09, complaining of similar issues. I purchased this car new in may of 2007. I was having a problem with the car feeling sluggish and feeling like it was very stiff to shift or sticking. I took the car back to the dealership approximately august 07 and they advised me that there was not a problem that I was just not used to the car. All they did was drive it they did not inspect the car. I then had a problem in jan. Or feb. Of 2009 in which is disengaged the parking brake and attempted to drive the car it was sluggish and wouldn't shift gears and wouldn't drive properly. The ABS lights came on and the traction control light came on and the car just sat spinning. I had to have the car towed to the dealership and they kept it in the garage for a couple hours then told me it was fine to drive, they said the car just needed to unthaw?? They did not look at it again. This leads up to 04/11/2009 in which I parked the car made sure the parking brake was set and the car was in gear. As I went into my house I heard a clicking type sound and the car started rolling backwards. It rolled across a parking lot into the neighbors yard, over a tree stump, hit a mailbox before coming to rest against a telephone pole. This was with the parking brake engaged and the car still in gear. I have had the car towed to the dealership where it was purchased and that is where it currently sits.
I have a 2007 ford mustang. At 25,000 miles the rear passenger side tire the brakes are scratching up the rotor. I have read many cases with the same problem with other ford vehicles. This is definitely a defect.
I have a 2007 ford mustang (manual transmission) and I've been driving for a year. On nov 18, I had parked my car with the parking/ emergency brake on, like I have done everyday in past 1 year. When I tried driving back, the car wouldn't move. I talked to the dealership and they said it was because the brakes must have frozen because temperature was below 30 f. This is now happening everyday that the emergency brakes don't work in cold weather. I've checked numerous consumer forums and a large number of people are facing this problem. Apparently, the rubber boots at the end of the brake cables wear out very quickly, and they collect water or ice, which creates this problem. The dealership service advisor refused to replace the brake cables because they work when its warm. However this defeats the purpose of having an emergency brake when you cannot use it for 6 months in a year. Now I feel unsafe driving the vehicle with malfunctioning brakes.
2007 mustang gt throttle stuck which resulted in an increase of speed with no brakes available to me except the emergency brake. I have a 5 speed manual transmission I was able to push in the clutch but my brake did not work nor was I able to take it out of gear. I pulled the emergency brake at the increasing rate of speed of 50 MPH,which the car did stop but was still tacked out at 7000 to 8000 RPM with sudden deceleration. Ford was contacted but due to ford not able to duplicate the problem they want to return the car to me not repaired. I feel as though not only is my life in danger but also my young daughters or anyone on the road. I am scared of this car!!!!!
On three occassions now, december 29, 2007, january 19, 2008 and january 20, 2008, the parking brake on my car seems to "freeze". I put the parking brake on because it is a manual transmission and when releasing it, it does not. I am unable to drive the car further than a few feet. I can smell burning rubber and feel the drag on the rear wheels. I can hear it also. This has occurred when the temperature has been below 32 degrees.
Noticed brakes felt soft, went to check fluid, noticed brake fluid was leaking out of cap and moisture was accumulating on reservoir-wiped away and the moisture returned, the fluid level was fine but continuously fluid is building up. Took to local ford dealer they said it was fine, however didn't make an attempt to replace cap.
Tl*the contact leases a 2007 ford mustang. The contact stated that the electronic remote does not work. If the door is opened manually, it shuts downs the electronic system and the brake lights. The failure was noticed while driving 40 MPH. The system will operate normally after a few minutes. The dealer replaced the instrumental panel and modules, but the failure was not corrected. The dealer information was unknown. The current mileage was 8,062 and failure mileage was 6,700. The dealer stated problem with rear axel assembly. Updated 09/26/07
2007 ford mustang gt has intermittent braking problems, it pulled hard right/left. I have been to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle twice, the first time they felt it and cut the rotors. The second time they said they could not duplicate problem. I went to another dealership, who determined this car should go to engineering ,and probably should be bought back. At the time the service manager drove it the vehicle was all over the road. I contacted ford customer service on several occasions, most recent on 06/15/07, and they were supposed to contact me, nothing done as of yet. I am still driving this car and it is not safe. I had no choice, it was my everyday vehicle. I told ford they should get me a car to drive, but no response.
Tl*- the contact owns a 2007 ford mustang purchased on october 4, 2006 with 0 miles. The contact stated that on february 28, 2007 while driving 15 to 20 MPH under clear road conditions and moderate to heavy traffic on piedmont rd in atlanta ga the vehicle's front wheels evenly went over a rock or bump on the road. The contact felt the car went up evenly on both front wheels while passing the bump. He drove a few yards and tried to apply the brakes, , but could not stop the vehicle. The contact had to lift the emergency brake to stop the car and avoid striking a second vehicle that had stopped at a traffic signal. There were no warning lights. After coming to a full stop the contact slowly pulled into a gas station and parked the vehicle. There was fluid leaking from the front driver's side tire towards the middle of the engine. The failure and current mileage were both 2018.
