2006 Ford Mustang

PCM MODULE/CRASH DATA REPORT SAYS THAT THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR WENT TO 100% WITH ACCELERATOR AT 60% AND THEN THE THROTTLE STAYED WIDE OPEN UNTIL ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS RELEASED TO APPROX 23% PERCENT. WHY IS THERE A 40% DIFFERENCE IN THE PCM DATA FROM ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION TO THE THROTTLE POSITION. AT THE TRIAL A GUY FROM FORD SAID THIS IS NORMAL AND THE THROTTLE IS DESIGNED THIS WAY. MY HUSBAND IS NOW ON HIS WAY TO PRISON. IS THIS TRUE AND CAN ANYONE HELP OR ADVISE US.

THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO TRAVEL UNCONTROLLABLY THROUGH THREE TRAFFIC SIGNALS. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED AND THE CONTACT THEN CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE CONTACT AND A PASSENGER WERE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE BUT WERE BOTH SEVERELY INJURED. THE VEHICLE THEN IGNITED INTO FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FIRE ORIGINATED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A SALVAGE FACILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,900.

DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING NORTH ON WILMA RUDOLPH BLVD AT 45-50 MPH IN CLARKSVILLE, TENNESSEE AND ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN WHEN BRAKES DID NOT APPLY. SHE ATTEMPTED TO GO AROUND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER DIRECTION OF TRAVEL AND REAR-ENDED THE VEHICLE ON THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER QUADRANT. UPON REAR-ENDING THE VEHICLE, SHE HIT HER HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL THEN A SPLIT SECOND LATER AS HER HEAD WAS RETURNING TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED "AFTER" AND "LATE". THIS AIRBAG WAS PART OF A FORD RECALL AND HAD BEEN REPLACED AT OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP.

I SUSPECT PROBLEM WITH TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM

THIS IS A SAFTY ISSUE AS IT IS ALSO PART OF THE SAFTY INSPECTION. I EXCATLY HOW MANY AUTO COLISIONS DOES IT TAKE OR DEATHS BEFORE THIS IS TAKEN CARE OF.

ON MONDAY FEBRUARY 24 2014 AT AROUND 12:45PM, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I WAS SITTING IN MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC DUE TO CONSTRUCTION ON THE GRAND CENTRAL PARKWAY(QUEENS NY) HEADING TOWARDS THE VAN WYCK EXPRESSWAY(EAST TO BROOKLYN NY). AS TRAFFIC STARTED TO MOVE UP SLOWLY, I HAD PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE FORWARD AND WITHOUT HESITATION THE CAR JUMPS FROM 7 MPH TO FULL THROTTLE. EVEN WHEN I HAD APPLIED THE BRAKES ( I FELT THE BRAKES ON THE ROTORS BUT IT DIDN'T STOP) THE VEHICLE HAD STAYED STUCK ON FULL THROTTLE AND HAD STRUCK THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. IT BOUNCED OFF THE 1ST VEHICLE AND IT WAS AT THIS POINT I HAD PLACED BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES, TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS STANDING ON THEM WITH MY HEAD HITTING THE ROOF OF THE CAR. THE CAR PROCEEDED ON (STILL IN FULL THROTTLE AND BRAKES APPLIED) AND SMASHED IN BETWEEN TWO OTHER VEHICLES FURTHER UP AND AFTER THAT COLLISION THATS WHEN THE CAR FINALLY HAD CAME TO A STOP. I NEVER HEARD OR SEEN ANY VEHICLE TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN LIKE THAT. TWO DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT I HAD ASKED AROUND ON FACEBOOK ON SEVERAL MUSTANG ENTHUSIAST/CLUB PAGES AND NO ONE HAS HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. A WEEK LATER MY INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED OUT MY VEHICLE AND LEFT ME WITH NO CAR AND NOW I'M LEFT TO PAY $3000 DOLLARS DIFFERENCE ON MY LOAN AND $500 TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I ALSO ASKED ON FORD'S FACEBOOK PAGE AND I WAS GIVEN A NUMBER FROM A CUSTOMER RELATIONS REPRESENTATIVE. I HAD CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS AND "WHAT WILL I LIKE TO DO WITH THIS?". A FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME ABOUT CAR COMPLAINTS.COM AND I CAME ACROSS MORE THAN 20 COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO WAS TOLD RECENTLY TO CHECK THIS WEBSITE TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I LOVED THAT CAR AND THAT WHOLE SITUATION LEFT ME DEPRESSED AND FRUSTRATED. *TR

DRIVING 40MPH KN THE RIGHT LANE OF A 4 LANE HIGHWAY WITH A CEMENT MEDIAN SEPARATING THE EAST AND WESTBOUND LANES. I HIT SOME BLACK ICE, SPUN 90 DEGREES ACROSS THE LEFT LANE AND HIT THE MEDIAN ALMOST HEAD ON. AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

TRAVELING TO TEMPLE, TEXAS TO VISIT MOM FOR HER BIRTHDAY; I SET MY CRUISE AT 70 MPH AS USUAL WHILE TRAVELING. I APPROACHED A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE, SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO ONE COMING, TURNED MY SIGNAL ON AND TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL TO INCREASE SPEED. WHEN I PASSED THE VEHICLE AND GOT BACK IN MY LANE, MY CAR CONTINUED TO GAIN SPEED AND WAS QUICKLY UP TO 85 MPH AND INCREASING. I TOUCHED THE BRAKES TO SLOW IT DOWN AND THEY WOULD NOT HOLD OR SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE.I WAS TERRIFIED KNOWING THERE ARE A LOT OF CURVES ON THAT PARTICULAR ROAD AND POSSIBLY NO WAY TO AVOID HITTING SOMEONE. I LOOKED FOR THE SAFEST PLACE TO PULL OVER AND SAW AN EMPTY CHURCH PARKING LOT AND HOPED I COULD GET THE CAR STOPPED IN THAT AREA. BY THIS TIME, I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD, I MANAGED TO GET IT THERE BUT NOT BEFORE HITTING A HISTORICAL MARKER AND SNAPPING IT OFF AT THE BOTTOM. THE IMPACT SEEMED TO SLOW ME A LITTLE BIT AND I GUIDED IT BETWEEN TWO BIG TREES AND MANAGED TO GET THE SPEED DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH, SLAMMED THE GEAR SHIFT IN PARK WHILE THE ENGINE WAS STILL RACING AND TURNED THE KEY OFF. I WAITED ABOUT 5 OR TEN MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL RACING AT A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN IN A FEW MINUTES AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL RACING; I TURNED IT OFF, CALLED SOMEONE TO COME GET ME AND CALLED A WRECKER TO PICK UP THE CAR. THIS WAS THE MOST TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE I HAD EVER HAD IN MY 46 YEARS OF BEING LICENSED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE! *TR

MY WIFE WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE--I WAS IN THE CAR AS WELL. ABOUT HALF WAY INTO THE PARKING SPOT, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY BEGAN REVING AND THE CAR JUMPED FORWARD CAUSING A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF US. *TR

THE GAS PEDAL ON MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG GOT STUCK AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, CAUSING ME TO HIT 2 OTHER PARKED CARS. I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR KEPT GOING FORWARD AND THEN SUDDENLY STOPPED. THIS CAUSED THE WIND TO GET KNOCKED OUT OF ME. THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE CONSISTED OF THE DRIVER SIDE FENDER,TURN SIGNAL,HEADLAMP,BUMPER AND HOOD. DAMAGE TO THE OTHER VEHICLES WAS TO THEIR RESPECTIVE REAR BUMPERS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND AND THAT I'D BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARGES! *TR

1. TRUNK TOO HIGH; BACK WINDOWS SLOPE BLIND DRIVER FROM STREET LIGHT REFLECTION. 2. HOOD AND WINDSHIELD DESIGNED DENY DRIVER FROM SEEING THE CURVES COMING ON SIDE ANGLES. (CAUSING VEHICLE ENDING UP ON CURVE) 3. ABS AUTO ACTIVATE WHEN VEHICLE GOING OVER POTHOLE, CAUSING SLIPPING AND DRIVER CANNOT CONTROL THE BRAKING DISTANCE. 4. AC/HEAT FAN AUTO ACTIVATE WITHOUT CONSENT EVEN WHEN SITTING ON OFF. I HAVE A V6, 2006 MUSTANG. THE SAFETY ISSUE THAT I HAVE IS THE FACT THAT THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE THAT JEOPARDIZING THE CHILDREN UNDER 3 FEET TALL.: THEIR TRUNK ARE TOO HIGH AND THE SLANTED MIRROR BLOCK VISIBILITY. AT NIGHT TIME BACKING OUT IS VERY HARD AND THERE ARE MANY BLIND SPOTS. I HAVE BACKED UP INTO ANOTHER CAR ALREADY DUE TO THE POOR VISIBILITY AND LIGHT REFLECTION: BACK WINDOW DESIGN WITH AN ANGLE THAT BLIND DRIVERS WHEN NIGHT LIGHT HITS. THE OWNER AND I SETTLED IN CASH. THE FRONT HOOD OF THE VEHICLE CENTER LINE FORMED AN UPSIDE DOWN V-SHAPE WHEREAS IT HIGHEST PEAK IS IN THE MIDDLE AND AT NIGHT TIME DRIVING IT HAS LIMITED MY VIEWING ABILITY: ENDED UP ON TWO CURVE, BECAUSE THE CEILING HEIGHT WERE TOO LOW. *TR
