The 2005 to 2009 mustangs (all of them) have a water intrusion problem presented as a design flaw in the engine firewall that leaks water onto the smart junction block causing random electrical systems failure including the loss of engine ignition, loss of all systems, etc. In my case, the intrusion of water caused a sudden and complete loss of all systems. Discovered a day after heavy rain. There are thousands of…

Cluster with odometer gauge, hot/cold gauge, sometimes gas gauge are all showing wrong information. The speed odometer will be showing 80 miles or more when you are only driving 45.

I have had this problem from last year but i had no way of knowing where to complain because this is safety issue, i have no idea how fast i am going or when i…

I purchased my 2005 ford mustang v6 automatic transmission in july of 2016. At the time of purchase everything seemed to be working fine but about a month later i noticed the fuel gauge was sitting at e so i attempted to fill it thinking i had an empty tank which meant i should have been able to put 14-16 gallons in and as i was refueling i noticed it kept shutting off even though i had just started the pump…

The instrument cluster in my 2005 ford mustang are starting to fail. So far fuel gage and tach our inopertable. I have researched the internet and found that alot of mustang owners are having the same issue. Why has this not been a recall since they know they have a stepper motor issue in the instrument clusters.

The instrument cluster located inside the vehicle stopped reading properly. At first i was not able to read my rpm's gauge as it was showing i was idling at 3,000 which was incorrect as i can hear my engine. Then my oil gauge began reading past full. Both of those issues fixed themselves (unsure of how or why) and then my speedometer gauge went bad. Now the needle is pointing straight down regardless of how fast or…

I bought this car used . Had only 35,000 miles on it 3 yrs ago. A year in a half ago i notice on front end of hood paint looked bubbly. Didn't think anything of it, cause it was a very small area. Now it is getting worse. I was told that it was rust. How is this possible?

Approximately a year ago, the speedometer and fuel gauges on my 2005 ford mustang started to malfunction. Since then, they have been giving me false readings. Examples include my fuel level will read at half a tank when i will actually be near empty, the more pressing issue however, is that my speedometer keeps giving me increadibly inaccurate readings, saying i'll be going 90 mph, when i'll really be going 20, or…

The speedometer began to act erratically before ceasing to work altogether. I took the car to fairway ford (placentia, ca) and reported the problem. The service writer dismissed me by saying the repair was too costly and that there was no known universal problem with the 2005 v6 ford mustang. I have a colleague with the same year and model who has the same problem.

One incident, driving home from work when car ran out of gas and saw the as gas guage indicator facing straight down, temperature guage and the tachometer was not working. The car ran out of gas on major high way and my daughter alone stuck on the road at 3 am with large trucks passing by. She had believed the car had plenty of gas. The guages are still not fixed properly do not work at 100777 miles.

My tachometer fail a few years ago. When i took it to the dealer, he said all mustang gauges fail and to be happy it wasn't the speedometer. Slowly over time all the electrical has been having problems. Sometimes the car won't start, all the gauges stop working, the check engine light goes on and off for no reason. Also the driver seat electrical failed, was replaced and failed again. I couldn't afford to have it…

It shows me doing 120 when i'm doing 40, 55 etc.. Why won't ford recall these clusters in all these cars,…

I took my car back to dealer for some warranty repairs and they asked me if my car had been in an accident. I advised them no, it was purchased new. They said my vin# was invalid. After checking further they discovered my vin number on the dash and the vin number on the door were different. I have been told to never allow a vin# to be changed, however, they want to remove my windshield and replace the vin plate to…

When attempting to put gas in the vehicle you have to run it in real slow or the pump will shut off. It acts as if the tank is full even though it is almost empty. Apparently the gas is pooling where the end of the pump releases the gas, there is a sharp slightly uphill right angle for the gas to travel and there is not enough room to for it to move through like other cars. The gas float stopped working as well, the…
