2007 Ford Mustang Engine Problems

WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR IN 2007 ABOUT A WEEK LATER GOT OFF THE FREEWAY GOT TO THE STOP LIGHT THE CAR SHUT OFF NO WARNING SIGNS, I WAS ABLE TO START THE RIGHT UP. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS A FEW TIMES (6) NO MECHANIC CAN TELL WHY THIS HAPPENS. I'M AFRAID THAT ONE DAY I'M GOING TO BE ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR IS GOING TO STOP AND THEIR IS GOING TO BE A DEADLY ACCIDENT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING CAR SHUTS OFF. NO STEERING. HARMONIC BALANCER FAIL OFF. HIT A DITCH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE MADE KNOCKING AND PINGING NOISES WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WHILE PARKED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED SUDDENLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS LOW ENGINE OIL AND IN RESULT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

I'M NOT SURE HOW TO EXPLAIN BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT MOTORS BUT I'LL TRY. THERE WAS A SQUEAK IN MY CAR IT WOULD COME AND GO. I BROKE DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. THE MECHANIC SAID THE HARMONIC BALANCE BROKE WHICH BROKE THE CRANK SENOR. THE CAR JUST DIED ON THE HIGHWAY. THE MECHANIC SAID IT IS COMMON IN MUSTANGS IN FACT HE JUST REPLACED ONE LAST WEEK. I DON'T DRIVE MY CAR OFTEN AS YOU CAN TELL IT ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS A 2007 AND WHEN I BOUGHT IT, HAD 3 MILES ON IT.. NOW MY QUESTION IS IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS AND I ALREADY HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME DO I GET PAID BACK.. *TR

2007 FORD MUSTANG. ATTORNEY REPRESENTING CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FIRE AND SEEKS ASSISTANCE FROM VEHICLE MANUFACTURING COMPANY. *SMD ON DECEMBER 25, 2011, THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE OFF, WHEN SUDDENLY IT EXPLODED IN THE OWNER'S DRIVEWAY.

HARMONIC BALANCER/CRANKSHAFT PULLEY CAME APART ON A 2007 FORD MUSTANG V6 WHILE DRIVING. IT HAD LESS THAN 37000 MILES ON IT. LUCKILY, ALL THAT HAPPENED WAS SERPENTINE BELT SLIPPED OFF, WHICH I REALIZED IMMEDIATELY WHEN I LOST POWER STEERING. I WAS NEAR HOME AND GOT HOME SAFELY. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR PROBLEM IF IT HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. REPLACED BY MY MECHANIC, WHO SAYS THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS NUMEROUS TIME IN THE PAST, AND THAT FORD NOW SELLS AN "UPDATED" PART FOR THE VEHICLE. THIS SUGGEST TO ME THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT DON'T WANT TO PAY TO REPLACE IT. *TR
