Was accelerating to merge with traffic on freeway when my car would not shift and the clutch pedal depressed to the floor. I was in the middle of merging and lost the ability to shift or control why vehicle. It created a very unsafe situation and Ford issued a recall for this very same issues for earlier Mustang.

problem #6

Mustang 6-cyl

  • 56,200 miles
While driving at different speeds, the car will just loses control of the gas pedal. It goes into a coast mode. You have to coast to safety and turn off the ignition and restart. My daughter was almost hit by an 18-wheeler on the bypass going about 50 mph. Sometimes, it will do this one time per day, sometimes every few minutes. I have only had this car 2 months when this problem began. I have contacted a dealership about the problem, and it will cost at a minimum $600. I have read the complaints filed, and feel that this should be placed under a recall for these vehicles. My vehicle has 56,000 miles on it, and should not be having these issues. If you were on an interstate or major highway, there might not be a way to exit before causing a major wreck.

I was driving the car on a city street at approximately 30 mph. When I accelerated, the engine started extreme shaking and then shut down. Fortunately, no one was behind me, so I did not get hit. I then was able to restart the car, but each time I stopped at a light, the car would stall out again. I was able to get to a nearby Ford dealer. They repaired the car free of charge (it was under warranty) and told me that the issues was that there was a defective computer chip which caused the engine to shut down. Ford has not contacted me to discuss the incident.

problem #2

Mustang

  • 73,000 miles
I was driving on the freeway approximately 65 mph when my throttle light went on (wrench), my car lost power and began to idle. Extremely frightening, I had cars coming at high speeds almost getting rear ended. My car accelerator gave out completely going into "safe mode". I found myself having to go through construction cones in order to pull over somewhere semi safe. I turned my car off and turned it on again. This time the engine light went off as well as the throttle light. Again my car was undriveable. As I got home the car was scanned. Received two engine codes P2111 & P2112. All having to do with the throttle body.

- Arleta, CA, USA

problem #1

Jul 152013

Mustang

  • 79,800 miles
Was traveling on a freeway when a the care lost power and began slowing down. A little wrench icon appeared. I there was no place to pull over so I turned on flashers and rode on the highway until the care stopped. Traffic behind me swerved to avoid my car. I restarted the vehicle and continued on my way. The vehicle failed 3 more times on the way home.
