Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I RECENTLY WENT FOR A INSPECTION STICKER AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY PARKING BRAKE WASN'T HOLDING. I HAVE CHANGED THE PARKING BRAKE CABLES BUT THE CAR STILL HAS THE SAME ISSUE . IT WILL HOLD AND THE CAR KEEPS MOVING AT ALL TIMES AND INTERVALS. I HAD NEVER USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SO I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG ITS BEEN HAPPENING UNTIL NOW.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE SERVICING THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THAT THE CALIPERS WERE NOT THE CORRECT SIZE AND NOT WIDE ENOUGH.

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CORD BROKE. *TR
I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY INTO A REST STOP AREA. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, AND ONLY ON THE BRAKE. I STOPPED IN A PARKING SPACE AND MOVED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LEVER FROM DRIVE TO PARK. THE RPM INSTANTLY INCREASED FROM APPROXIMATELY 600 RPM IN DRIVE TO APPROXIMATELY 6000 RPM IN PARK. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND GAVE THE GAS PEDAL A QUICK TAP. THE RPM RETURNED TO NORMAL, ABOUT 750 RPM IN PARK. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE CAR, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY CONTACTED FORD, WHO MAINTAINED THE INCIDENT COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED THE WAY I DESCRIBED IT. THEY FURTHER TOLD THE DEALERSHIP NOT TO PERFORM ANY REPAIRS UNLESS A SIMILAR INCIDENT RECURRED. THE DEALERSHIP THINKS THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE FLY BY WIRE, THROTTLE BODY AND/OR CONTROL OF THE FLOW SYSTEM. *TR THE CONSUMER HAD CONCERNS ABOUT BRAKE FLUID. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATED TO USE DOT 3 BRAKE FLUID. HOWEVER, THE DEALER USED DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID. UPDATED 11/09/15. *JB

HE RELATED THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH 04 AND 07 MUSTANGS. ITS IN THE SHOP FOR MASTER CYLINDER REPLACEMENT. NEEDS A SAFETY BULLETIN ON THIS FROM FORD. *TR
TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH IN A DRIVE THRU LANE. THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT RESISTANCE WHEN PRESSURE WAS APPLIED. THE DRIVER PUMPED THE BRAKES NUMEROUS TIMES. THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS PLACED INTO "NEUTRAL"; THEN SHIFTED INTO THE "PARK" POSITION. IMMEDIATELY, THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE RESUMED WITH THE LOSS OF BRAKE POWER. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED WHILE PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL, FOLLOWED BY A POWER RESPONSE.

THE AUTHORIZED DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEE REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,300. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE JS
THE E BRAKE FREEZES EVERYTIME IT GETS BELOW FREEZING. THIS IS THE MOST ANNOYING THING AND I WILL NEVER BUY A MUSTANG AGAIN. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL FOR THIS, THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS. *TR
MY CALIPER BROKE ON MY DRIVERS SIDE BACK WHEEL.....MECHANIC SAID IT WAS UNUSUAL FOR THE YEAR AND HE ALSO HAD ANOTHER ONE WITH EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND SAME EXACT SIDE AND WHEEL HE THOUGHT THAT WAS UNUSUAL. *TR
I HAVE A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. AT 25,000 MILES THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE THE BRAKES ARE SCRATCHING UP THE ROTOR. I HAVE READ MANY CASES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OTHER FORD VEHICLES. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT. *TR
I DRIVE A 2007 MUSTANG, MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IN 2008, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SEEMED TO NOT BE RELEASING ALL THE WAY. I COULD TELL THIS BECAUSE A) MY VEHICLE WOULD SLOW DOWN MORE QUICKLY THAN BEFORE, B) ON A SLIGHT GRADE, MY VEHICLE WOULD REMAIN IN PLACE. THIS ISSUE OCCURED AFTER NORMAL USE OF E-BRAKE NOT BUT 10 MONTHS AFTER THE BRAND NEW PURCHASE FROM DARCARS IN LANHAM, MD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO LINDSEY FORD IN WHEATON, MD (AROUND THE SAME TIME THE AIR BAG MODULE RECALL WAS ISSUED...) AND THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THEY "COULD NOT VERIFY MY CONCERNS AT THIS TIME". HAVING REPLACED THE AIR BAG MODULE FREE OF CHARGE, I WAS IDIOTICALLY APPEASED WITH JUST THAT AND DIDN'T PRESS THE E-BRAKE ISSUE FUTHER. COINCIDENTALLY, AS I WAS LEAVING THEIR LOT, I WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP WHICH SEEMED TO RELEASE THE BRAKE ENOUGH TO NOT CAUSE ANY NOTICABLE BRAKE TENSION WHILE DRIVING. NEEDLESS TO SAY, FROM THAT POINT ON I WAS RELUCTANT TO USE THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE AND ALWAY KEPT MY VEHICLE IN GEAR WHEN PARKED. JUST RECENTLY, I HAD ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL-- GRADUALLY SINKING TO THE FLOOR (WHICH I WAS TOLD WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH SLAVE), AND AGAIN I WENT TO LINDSEY TO SEE IF THEY COULD HELP. THIS TIME AROUND, THEY NOTICE THAT THE E-BRAKE IS VERY MUCH STUCK, AND SUGGESTED I REPLACE THE BRAKE CABLE. $500.00 I DO NOT HAVE. THEY WONT EVEN BOTHER TO LOOK AT THE CLUTCH SLAVE UNTIL THE BRAKE CABLES HAVE BEEN REPLACED.
2007 MUSTANG GT THROTTLE STUCK WHICH RESULTED IN AN INCREASE OF SPEED WITH NO BRAKES AVAILABLE TO ME EXCEPT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I HAVE A 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION I WAS ABLE TO PUSH IN THE CLUTCH BUT MY BRAKE DID NOT WORK NOR WAS I ABLE TO TAKE IT OUT OF GEAR. I PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AT THE INCREASING RATE OF SPEED OF 50 MPH,WHICH THE CAR DID STOP BUT WAS STILL TACKED OUT AT 7000 TO 8000 RPM WITH SUDDEN DECELERATION. FORD WAS CONTACTED BUT DUE TO FORD NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEY WANT TO RETURN THE CAR TO ME NOT REPAIRED. I FEEL AS THOUGH NOT ONLY IS MY LIFE IN DANGER BUT ALSO MY YOUNG DAUGHTERS OR ANYONE ON THE ROAD. I AM SCARED OF THIS CAR!!!!! *TR
NOTICED BRAKES FELT SOFT, WENT TO CHECK FLUID, NOTICED BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING OUT OF CAP AND MOISTURE WAS ACCUMULATING ON RESERVOIR-WIPED AWAY AND THE MOISTURE RETURNED, THE FLUID LEVEL WAS FINE BUT CONTINUOUSLY FLUID IS BUILDING UP. TOOK TO LOCAL FORD DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS FINE, HOWEVER DIDN'T MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO REPLACE CAP. *TR

THE CONTACT FELT THE CAR WENT UP EVENLY ON BOTH FRONT WHEELS WHILE PASSING THE BUMP. HE DROVE A FEW YARDS AND TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES, , BUT COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE.
