2005 FORD MUSTANG Power Train Problems

Ford did issue a recall for several issues for my car, including but not limited to, problems when filling gas tank with evaporative purge system as well as cavitation of the fuel pump in high heat conditions, the doors not closing all the way or handles remaining open( not flush with rest of door) when door is shut, driver's side door trim/bezel around power window switch making buzzing sounds when stereo is in use, as well as ticking sounds coming from motor during operation and various creaks and sounds from front suspension when cornering and going over uneven terrain, and the transmission, the 5r55s, has the known hard shift into gear caused by bad servo. I have reached out to the dealers in my area regarding these issues and even though my car is the correct model and year for the service recall bulletins and has the exact issues described there in, I am told that the vin on my car is not covered even though it is clearly suffering from equipment that exhibits all the same problems listed in the recall. I feel the responsibility to perform and pay for these repairs should fall on the manufacturer, not i, the customer.

THROTTLE BODY FAILED AS I WAS DRIVING AT SPEED ON THE FREEWAY. WHEN IT FAILED, THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO IDLE MODE WHICH MADE IT VERY DANGEROUS TO AVOID TRAFFIC AS I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY. THE CAR MOVED AT NO MORE THAN 5MPH! THE REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE. I FEEL THAT THIS PART SHOULD NOT FAIL AFTER JUST 76,000 MILES. ATTACHED IS THE REPAIR BILL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, A PIECE ON THE CLUTCH OF THE VEHICLE FRACTURED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SWITCH GEARS. THE FAILURE ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO SWITCH GEARS, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND A CRUNCH SOUND WAS HEARD. THE CLUTCH PEDAL TRAVELED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS SWITCHED TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND A PIECE OF PLASTIC WAS FOUND FRACTURED INTO TWO PARTS ON THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE UNDER THE CLUTCH PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 190,000.

Mileage: 190,000

SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER NEEDLE DOES NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT MOVE HALF THE TIME FROM RESTING POSITION AND THE TACHOMETER WILL ROTATE ALL THE WAY AROUND AND STAY WHERE IT IS WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THE BATTERY, OIL, AND TEMP NEEDLES DO NOT MOVE FROM OFF POSITION HALF THE TIME. TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY AND SHIFTS HARDER GOING FROM SECOND TO THIRD. *TR

IN HEAVY CITY TRAFFIC, STEPPED ON GAS TO ACCELERATE, CAR WOULD NOT GO. KEPT GIVING GAS WOULD FINALLY RESPOND. DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES IN ONE DAY. NEXT TIME WE TRIED TO DRIVE IT "ENGINE SAFE MODE" LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. THROUGH RESEARCH AND TALKING TO OTHERS DETERMINED THAT IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY (DRIVE BY WIRE) A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH SOME FORD VEHICLES. TALKED TO THE FORD DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND THE SERVICE PERSON WE SPOKE TO TOLD US IT WOULD BE COVERED BY FORD'S EXTENDED WARRANTY IN RESPONSE TO CSP 13N03. TOOK THE CAR IN TODAY FOR APPOINTMENT AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THAT EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03 DID NOT PERTAIN TO A MUSTANG. DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT TO US THAT OUR CAR WOULD NOT BE COVERED WHEN RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT MUSTANG'S HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE SAME "DRIVE BY WIRE" SYSTEM. WE ARE LEFT BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR OVER $500 IN COSTS FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING INTO LOW GEAR. DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING. SOUNDS AS IF IT IS STUCK IN A GEAR. HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE AND FORD JUST CLAIMS IT ISN'T THEIR PROBLEM. ALSO, ALL GAUGES QUIT WORKING AT APPROX 70,000 MILES. FUEL SYSTEM IS TERRIBLE. WILL NOT PUMP GAS PAST HALF A TANK AND SPITS GAS BACK OUT WHILE PUMPING LIKE ITS FULL. CAUSES PUMP TO CONSTANTLY SHUT OFF. ALL OF THESE ARE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AND MAKES THIS CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STALLED. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON SO I DIDN'T GET HIT FROM BEHIND OR CAUSE A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT TO THE OTHER MOTORISTS. I TURNED OFF THE CAR, LEFT THE HAZARDS ON AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE STARTING IT UP AGAIN. IT STARTED THANKFULLY AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT SAFELY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. EVENTUALLY SOMEONE WAS ABLE TO COME AND HELP ME GET MY CAR HOME. WE BELIEVE THAT THE INCIDENT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY, AND THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. FORD SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS PROBLEM AND PAY FOR THEIR FAULTY PARTS. THIS CAR IS A 2005 FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE WITH A V6 ENGINE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WOULD MAKE A LOUD RATTLING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE HER VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

Mileage: 3,500

WHEN STOPPED SUDDENLY THE CAR WILL REMAIN IDLE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS BEFORE IT WILL KICK BACK INTO GEAR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, CAR WILL ROLL BACKWARDS IN DRIVE. IF YOU TRY TO PRESS THE GAS TO FORCE THE CAR TO MOVE IT WILL STALL COMPLETELY. CAR HAS BEEN DOING IT SINCE 2007. FORD DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. CAR CURRENTLY HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT. ALSO GAS, TEMP AND SPEEDOMETER GAUGES HAVE STARTED GOING CRAZY THE LAST THREE WEEKS. *TR

2005 MUSTANG HAD ROUTINE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUSH DONE AT 46K MILES, PRIOR TO SERVICE NO LEAKS, ONLY COMPLAINTS OF NOISY TRANSMISSION. NOW TRANSMISSION LEAKS, NOTICED SOME OIL AT A FEW HUNDREDS WIPED IT CLEAN THINKING IT WAS RESIDUE FROM THE FLUSH. AT 50K CHECKED AGAIN AND LEAK IN WORSE AND TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP (JONES FORD, N. CHARLESTON, SC). DEALER REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR OF THE LEAK, STATING LEAK WAS NOT CAUSED BY ROUTINE MAINTENANCE THEY PERFORMED, ALTHOUGH STATES THEY DO THESE ROUTINELY AND OCCASIONALLY CARS COME BACK LEAKING FROM THE PROCEDURE. CONTACTED FORD MOTOR CRC AND THEY STATED IT IS A DEALERSHIP SERVICE ISSUE. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S NOT. YET I'M OUT TO PAY FOR A REPAIR BILL CA. BETWEEN $700 AND $1000 DEPENDING ON DAMAGE DONE. *TR

Mileage: 51,000

WHILE BACKING FROM MY GARAGE, I PUT THE SHIFTER INTO REVERSE. THE CAR WILL PAUSE AND THEN A SUDDEN JERK INTO REVERSE. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS RECENTLY FLUSHED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP PRIOR TO THE START OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 46,000

AT 60000 MILES MY TRANSMISSION FAILED. IT WAS LEAKING INTERNALLY FROM THE BELL HOUSING TO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO GET HOT. THERE WERE NOT OUTWARD SIGNS OF PROBLEMS. NO EXTERNAL LEAKS OR ANY SENSORS WARNING ME. SINCE I COULD NOT AFFORD THE EXORBITANT EXTENDED WARRANTY, I HAD TO PAY OVER $3000 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I THINK THIS IS UNFAIR TO THE CONSUMER. MY CAR IS ONLY HALF WAY PAID OFF AND I HAVE HEARD SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME OF OTHER CONSUMERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM A 43 YEAR OLD WOMAN AND NOT A TEENAGER HOT RODDING A CAR. I WILL NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN OR USE RANDALL NOT DEALERSHIP. *TR

Mileage: 60,000

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO IN SECOND GEAR. I MADE IT TO MY MOM'S BUSINESS AND HAD IT TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP AFTER TALKING TO A FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. EVERY TRANSMISSION PLACE I TALKED TO SAID THAT THESE TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAILING IN ALL OF THE FORD VEHICLES THAT HAVE THEM BETWEEN 60,000 AND 90,000 MILES. FORD REFUSES TO FIX OR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I DIDN'T BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. IT IS GOING TO COST ME SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE THIS TRANSMISSION. THERE IS A DEFECT IN THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND ALL OF THEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FORD HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS. MY CAR ISN'T FIXED YET BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO DO SO. I HAVE A 3 AND A HALF YEAR OLD MUSTANG I CANT DRIVE THAT I AM PAYING FOR. *TR

Mileage: 70,000

I PURCHASED A 2005 FORD MUSTANG V6. THE FIRST THING TO BREAK WAS THE PLASTIC ON THE SHIFTER THAT YOU PUT INTO GEAR. THEN I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH GEARS NOT WANTING TO GO INTO PARK. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. MY SON BOUGHT A 2006 GT FORD MUSTANG AND HIS IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER FORD. *TR

2005 FORD MUSTANG ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. HE STATES THAT THE RPM'S WOULD BE UP TO 1500. HE STATES THAT SINCE THEN, NOW IT ACCELERATES UP TO 2500 RPM'S. *KB A FLIGHT RECORDER WAS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. THE FLIGHT RECORDER CAPTURED THE PROBLEM THE CONSUMER WAS REFERRING TO. THE FLIGHT RECORDER WAS THEN SENT TO FORD ENGINEERING AND THEY STATED THE COMPUTER WAS DEMANDING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD CLUNK WHEN THE CLUTCH WAS LET OUT, ESPECIALLY IN LOWER GEARS. *JB

CAR VIBRATES/RUMBLES EXCESSIVELY AT 70 MPH, STARTED 3000-4000 MILES AFTER I BOUGHT CAR. ALSO FRONT END CLUNKS LIKE CAR WITH 100,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER NUMEROUS TRIPS TO DEALER FORD CORPORATE ONLY STATES THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE?

Mileage: 4,000

2005 FORD MUSTANG FUEL SYSTEM, REPLACED DUE TO SYSTEM FAILURE WHEN FILLING CAR WITH GAS, IT BROKE AGAIN FORD WILL NOT OR CAN NOT FIX, MANUAL 5-SPEED TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED 2 TIMES AND GOING OUT AGAIN, CAR AT FORD 28 DAYS IN LAST 6 MONTHS FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS, FORD DENIES THE CAR IS A LEMON. *JB

Mileage: 35

TRANSMISSION STUCK IN NEUTRAL FOUR TIMES WITHIN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS. IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE GOING SLOW AND YOU SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR AND DON'T LET THE CLUTCH OUT AND YOU TRY TO BRING IT BACK INTO 2ND GEAR. THE 3 TIMES IT DID THIS IN PARKING LOTS IT WAS NOT A SCARY PROBLEM BUT WHEN IT DID THIS AT A BUSY INTERSECTION I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. AT FIRST FORD COULD NOT MAKE IT STICK WHILE TESTING AND DIDN'T KNOW WHY IT WAS DOING THIS. NOW THEY ARE SAYING WHEN IT DOES STICK YOU EITHER HAVE TO COME TO A DEAD STOP( WHICH I FIGURED OUT MYSELF) OR DOUBLE CLUTCH IT. I HAVEN'T DOUBLE CLUTCHED A CAR SINCE WAY BACK IN THE 60S. THEY SAY IT HAS TO DO WITH THE SENSORS NOT WORKING AT SLOW SPEEDS. AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO REPAIR BECAUSE IT IS A NORMAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS TRANSMISSION. BY THE WAY THIS IS THE 2ND TRANSMISSION PUT IN THIS CAR. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS INFO BEFORE SOMEONE HAS A SERIOUS WRECK. THANKS. *JB

PINION GEAR IN REAR END WHINED WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE DURING WEEKEND TRIP. STOPPED AT FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE A TECHNICIAN ROAD TESTED AND EXAMINED VEHICLE. STATED THAT WE COULD DRIVE AND STILL FINISH WEEKEND TRIP BUT TO CONTACT PURCHASE DEALERSHIP FOR WARRANTY WORK. THAT WAS DONE THE PARTS TOOK 5 WEEKS TO COME IN FOR THE 2005 GT MUSTANG. REPAIR COMPLETED AND CAR RUNNING NEARLY FINE. ON OCCASSIONS WE HAVE DIFFICULTY FUELING . THE GAS FUEL PUMP AT THE STATION WILL CLICK OFF AND WE GET ONLY PARTIALLY FUEL THE GT. *JB

(1 AND 2) THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON THE VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WHERE IT WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR (UP-SHIFTING). REGARDLESS OF TYPE OF DRIVING (FUEL EFFICIENT, HARD DRIVING), THE VEHICLE WILL LOCK OUT OF THE NEXT GEAR. FOR EXAMPLE, FROM FIRST TO 2ND GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION WILL GO APPROXIMATELY HALF-WAY INTO GEAR AND STOP. THE RESULT IS AN INABILITY TO CONTINUE ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE MUST BE TAKEN OUT OF THE LOCKED GEAR, PUT IN NEUTRAL, CLUTCH RELEASED AND RE-ENGAGED, THEN SHIFTED BACK INTO THE PREVIOUSLY ATTEMPTED GEAR (2ND GEAR IN THE CURRENT EXAMPLE). POSSIBLE RESULTS OF THIS INCIDENT INCLUDE ACCIDENTS AND INJURY. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED SEVERAL TIMES. (3) THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO SERVICE TWICE FOR THE ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME (JUNE '05), THE DEALERSHIP ADJUSTED THE LINKAGE RESULTING IN NO CHANGE. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO TOLD THE CONSUMER (ME) TO MAKE SURE THE CLUTCH WAS COMPLETELY ENGAGED. THE SECOND TIME (10/18/2005) THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN FOR REPAIR, THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE ADVISOR AND SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE TRANSMISSION. FORD IS "LOOKING INTO IT, BUT THERE IS NO SOLUTION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME AND MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN THE FUTURE. *JB

DT: 2005 FORD MUSTANG GT -HAD AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM WHICH RESULTED IN A CRASH. WHILE TURNING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY INTO A RESIDENTIAL AREA THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING UNCONTROLLABLE ACCELERATION. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIEDBUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE FRONT BRAKES DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A CLOCK WISE SPIN. THE CAR TURNED ONTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THEN HIT A TREE. WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WAS THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS STILL ACTING STRANGE, THE TRUNK OPENED AND TRYING TO CLOSE IT BACK DOWN THE LIGHTS CAME OFF AND ON. THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES. THE VEHICLE HAD $6,300 WORTH OF DAMAGE. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT ASSIST THE CONSUMER WITH ANYTHING. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON AUGUST 29, 2005 AS A NEW VEHICLE WHICH ONLY HAD 72 MILES ON IT. UPON IMPACT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE FUEL CUT OFF SWITCH DID NOT ACTIVATE. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. *AK *MR

INITIAL PROBLEMS: 1. PIN STRIP ON DRIVER SIDE WAS PEELING OFF 2. A/C VENT FELL OUT OF CONSOLE 3. CONVERTIBLE TOP GOT STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION. STOPPED BY CLOSEST DEALER BECAUSE I WAS ON VACATION AND WE PULLED THE TOP BACK UP. BROUGHT IT TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR REPAIRS AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE ENTIRE CONVERTIBLE TOP FRAME WAS TWISTED. THEY STATED THIS WAS BECAUSE I MOST LIKELY HAD DRIVEN WHILE THE TOP WAS HALF WAY UP/DOWN. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS FORD ENGINEERS DECIDED TO COVER THE REPAIRS FOR THE TOP. TOOK THE DEALER FIVE WEEKS TO GET ALL PARTS AND REPLACE THE TOP. 4. GAS TANK REPLACED BECAUSE GAS PUMPS WOULD CONSTANTLY CUT OFF WHILE REFUELING. 5. A/C MAKES POPPING NOISE EVERY ONCE IN WHILE. CURRENT ISSUES: 1. NOISE IN FRONT END WHILE TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS 2. AFTER CAR WARMS TO DRIVING TEMPERATURE, THERE IS A THUMPING NOISE HEARD IN ENGINE, VERY PROMINENT IN INTERIOR 3. DRIVER SIDE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE STICKS IN THE OUT POSITION 4. CONVERTIBLE TOP MAKING A THUD NOISE WHEN RAISING AND LOWERING TOP 5. EXHAUST IS MAKING A POPPING NOISE WHEN IF ENGINE IS REVVED RIGHT AFTER STARTING THE CAR 6. SLIGHT VIBRATION/RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM CONSOLE WHILE CAR IDLES 7. A/C MAKING POPPING NOISE EVERY ONCE IN WHILE. *JB

PROBLEN 1: WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP, MAYBE 5 MPH OR SO, THEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE RPM'S INCREASE AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS IN NEUTRAL, THEN JUMPS INTO GEAR CAUSING A SUDDEN JERK FORWARD. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED AND CONFIRMED BY FORD DEALERSHIP. PROBLEM 2: STARTED VEHICLE, WITH FOOT ON BRAKE PUT IN REVERSE AND HEARD A STRANGE NOISE AND BLUE SMOKE OUTSIDE PASSENGER WINDOW. THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS "BURNING RUBBER" PULLED SHIFT LEAVER BACK TO NUETRAL AND ENGINE RPM NORMAL. POSSIBLY RELATED TO THE PROBLEM ABOVE OR I COULD AHAVE HAD MY FOOR ON BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME BUT CAN NOT THAT EASILY.
