The contact owns a 2014 Ford Mustang. The contact stated while driving, the message stating check fuel inlet filter remained illuminated and the vehicle failed to properly accelerate. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer vick bailey Ford located at 501 E daniel morgan ave, spartanburg, SC 29302 and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 31,000.
When downshifting in the manual transmission version of this vehicle, the car doesn't slow down on any decline and instead accelerates (without touching the gas pedal). Also, while slowing down on a flat road (at 1,500 to 1,700rpm) the car accelerates by itself and fights the brakes while in gear.
While driving the Mustang (which is a manual transmission) I noticed that the speed of the car doesn't decelerate when I take my foot off the gas pedal. The car is given gas (more than an idle amount) when I do not depress the gas pedal. It happens in all 6 gears but it's most noticeable when in first or second. Also, while the car is in gear, the engine fights to slow down while depressing the brake pedal. This doesn't happen every time but when it occurs while in a parking lot with people around it becomes a serious safety issue.
