CASUAL DRIVER. NOTICED ACCELERATION AND COASTING/ROLLING WERE SLUGGISH. MECHANIC NOTED BRAKE AREA TEMP ON FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WAS OVER 400 DEGREES. THE BRAKES ON THAT WHEEL WOULD NOT RELEASE COMPLETELY AND CAUSED CONTINUOUS FRICTION PRODUCING OVERHEATING. (I NOTICED I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO SUBMIT THIS BRAKE PROBLEM TO THIS BOARD. ) THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE TOTAL FRONT BRAKES AND MASTER CYLINDER SYSTEM. COST OVER $1100 TO DO THIS BACK IN 2013. IT IS NOW JAN 2021 AND I STILL HAVE LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON MY BABY MUSTANG.

NEVER KNOW WHEN CAR IS FULLY GAS UP ALWAYS PUT GAS IN AT 1/4 TO 1/2 TANK, WILL OVERFILL IF NOT VERY CAREFULLY SO REALLY JUST PUT NO MORE THAN 10 TO 15 DALLAS NEVER SHOWS FULL. DO NOT WANT TO OVERFLOW ON ME FOR ONE TWO IT'S BAD FOR MY BABY #1 MUSTANG

BACK ON MARCH 1, 2016 I BELIEVE I WAS COMING TO A STOP LIGHT I APPLIED MY FOOT ON THE BREAK AND THE CAR SEEM TO WANNA KEEP INCHING FORWARD INCHING FORWARD I HAD AT THIS TIME CONTINUED TO PRESS DOWN ON THE BREAK AS SOON AS I KNEW IT I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET PRACTICALLY DURING A RED LIGHT AND WAS SIDESWIPED. AFTER LOOKING UNDER TO SEE WHAT WAS CAUSING THAT IT SEEMS TO BE MY GAS PEDAL WAS HUNG UP ON A PIECE OF CARPETING ON THE FLOOR OF THE CAR CAUSING MY GAS PEDAL TO BECOME STUCK TO THAT CARPET I HAD TO CUT THE PIECE OF CARPETING AWAY FROM THAT TO STOP THAT FROM DOING THAT LATER TO FIND OUT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL WHEN I TOOK MY CAR FOR THE RECALL THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS ONLY ON SPECIFIC MUSTANGS I DON'T KNOW WHY IF MY CAR WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THE POLICE OFFICER SAID HE WAS NOT GIVING ME A TICKET BECAUSE HE DIDN'T FEEL THAT I WAS AT FAULT BUT YET MY INSURANCE WENT UP AND PAID THE OTHER DRIVER FOR DAMAGES. BECAUSE IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS I WILL DO MY BEST TO GET THE PAPERWORK

GAS PEDAL GOT CAUGHT ON A PIECE OF CARPET WHICH CAUSED MY CAR TO ENTER INTO AN INTERSECTION ON A RED LIGHT AND CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. WHICH THEN MADE MY INSURANCE JUMP. I REMEMBER THIS DAY VERY WELL IT WAS THE DAY BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY I CAME UP TO THE RED LIGHT AND STOPPED THE CAR SEEM TO WANT TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD AS I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK IT WAS STILL A RED LIGHT MY CAR WAS MOVING FORWARD CARS WERE BEEPING AT ME AS I KEPT INCHING INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET MY CAR WAS HIT IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE BY ANOTHER MUSTANG. I EXPLAIN TO THE POLICE OFFICER THAT WHAT SEEM TO HAPPEN WAS MY CARPET SEEM TO HAVE GOTTEN CAUGHT ON THE GAS PEDAL. AFTER LATER LEARNING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT PARTICULAR PROBLEM IT WASN'T RE CALLING UNDER MY VIN. TO THIS DAY I HAVE AN ACCIDENT MARK ON MY INSURANCE WHICH MADE MY BILL GO UP I DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS FAIR CONSIDERING THAT IT WAS NOT MY FAULT I TRIED SHOWING THE INSURANCE COMPANY THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT IT WASN'T RECALLING UNDE

FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS THE CONVERTIBLE TOP LEAKS WATER INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR WHEN THE TOP FOLDS DOWN INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR, THEN THIS WATER LEAKS ONTO THE BACK FLOOR BOARDS. AFRAID IT IS GOING TO ROT OUT THE FLOOR BOARDS. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. I KNOW OF MANY FORD MUSTANGS THAT DO THIS.

PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT BELT RETRACTS ONLY AND WILL NOT EXTEND, SO THEREFORE IS NON-FUNCTIONAL. THIS IS NOT A CASE OF TWISTED BELT, AS WE HAVE ACCESSED THE PART AND ENSURED "FLAT" WIND. MY SON JUST BOUGHT CAR. PRIOR OWNER SAYS IT NEVER WORKED FOR SEVERAL YEARS. DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT IS ALSO BARELY FUNCTIONAL. BOTH PRESENT MAJOR SAFETY HAZARDS TO OCCUPANTS. LOOKING ON-LINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURER'S DESIGN WHICH SHOULD BE CORRECTED. *TR
