| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Took delivery of mustang premium convertible (v6) on 1/6/2006. drove home 17 miles. while accelerating from a full stop and turning onto side street, the engine appeared to accelerate and then stopped in the middle of the turn in the middle of oncoming traffic. fortunately no accident occurred. during subsequent drives, engine appears to accelerate from a full stop but then stalls. if accelerator is pressed quickly enough, the engine does not stop; however, it may exhibit the stall a second time. dealer indicates that no information is recorded on computer indicating reason for failure. they cannot duplicate the failure. next step is to install a "black box" to record event activity during the stall. this does not occur when the engine is cold. it also is very intermittent but, if it is going to happen, it will be following a full stop. i do not feel safe in this vehicle. the failure can occur during a turn across traffic or while moving straight ahead from the stop - either of which could result in an accident. *jb |
