I was driving home one evening when stopped at a traffic signal, my Mustang throttle for unknown reasons the accelerator was stuck on the floor and remained wide open for approxaimately 1.5 miiles before I wa able to stop my vehiclesa, without injuries or death to myself and the public. This happened again with this vehicle tonite with my son driving. He stated the throttle/accelerator had stuck wide openwith the accelerator on the floor. As he was unable to shut the vehicle off. This seems to be a large issue wityh Ford vehicles only to find no recalls but with one make the escape. The vehicle is a danger to public safety abroad for you never know when thids will happen. I was in rush hour traffic and am grateful by blowing the horn and the ability to think quick no one was killedb. My vehicle is being taken to the Ford dealer in the am to coorect an issue Ford Motor Company needs too address. After researching complaints thereare numerous complaints with no results.

The fuel gauge on my 2008 Ford Mustang has dropped to empty with the following error code: "dte fli data error: Without a properly working fuel guage it is not known how much fuel is remaining in the tank and this leaves the driver and car prone to running out of fuel at driving speeds. A web search reveals this is a common issue in 05-09 Ford Mustangs and should be addressed by Ford Motor Company.

This is about the 20th time this has happened, went to pass a slower car and the accelerator pedal stuck and went to the floor, this has been happening at least once a week, this is a fly by wire system the issues in the pedal assembly, not the computer or anything else, no one can find a problem, but a few have said this is not the first they have heard of it, I have taken the pedal out tried to lube it and any thing else that comes to mind to free it, there is never a warning when it will happen, makes no difference if you push hard or soft. I have owned car since 9-10-14 and has happened about 20 times no help from dealer as was purchased as is no warranty, I have talked to a Ford dealer they say nothing they can do, when this happens I have to shut off the engine pull to the side of the road and play with it till it frees up and returns.
