: the contact stated the speedometer became stuck at 40 mph. The speedometer has been repaired two times in the past 2 years and this problem has recurred. This has been an ongoing problem with the vehicle since it was purchased.

Car accelerates suddenly without warning at stop or at 0-5 mph(throttle goes wide open)in forward or reverse. Must shut off ignition switch to stop car, brakes will not stop car. Problem corrected by dealer under warranty first time. Replaced purge air valve. Four years later problem is reoccuring again. Believe purge air valve has failed again. Original servicing dealer is out of business. Wondering if this problem is widespread in Mustang line since it has a potential to loose control of car, damage property or loss of a life.
Was driving vehicle & felt transmission slipping. Had returned to dealer who refused to repair it. Later had cruise control on & vehicle suddenly accelerated. Applied brakes shut it off, but did not stop it. Turned vehicle off & restarted it. Vehicle has no air bags. Vehicle had a 1998 front repair done, but no accident had happened.
