| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The problems i am having with my 2004 mustang cobra is the gas pedal getting stuck under the carpet and under the removable floor mat at wot and an annoying vibration at higher highway speeds. nothing scarier than having your car continue to accelerate after you get off the gas and the traffic ahead is stopped and you are approaching triple digit speeds. i have had to depress the clutch and put the transmission into neutral, while letting the motor over rev and hit the rev-limiter, until i can dislodge the pedal. this a very dangerous situation on such a high performance vehicle making well over 400 rwhp. the other problem is a continued vibration i have since the transmission was replaced. at speeds near 80 mph the vibration begins and will get progressively worse, sounding like the rear glass is going to vibrate out of the car. the dealer has replaced the driveshaft, but i suspect the pinion angle is incorrect and causing a binding condition in the rear end, which can lead to premature bearing failure in the rear end. *nm |
