He panicked that car was going to blow up and pulled off the highway at night to call to see what he should do. I find this to be very unsafe in both aspects of not knowing if the car could of caused an accident and also the fact of him being on the side of the highway at night. I have read of…

He couldn't even make if off the driving area when it came to a complete stop. Once it stopped black smoke started pouring out.

Obviously, this car is unsafe to drive. For more than…

I am the owner of a 2005 mustang. I have already had to replace the throttle body as my car (which is an automatic) would randomly stall out at lights. One time leaving me stranded in the intersection. It is very difficult to fill my gas tank as the gas pump nozzle kicks back for some reason while pumping. My speedometer will read inaccurately at times, sometimes reading extremely high numbers, sometimes not at all.…

On saturday april 18, 2009 my daughter called to say that her car was hard to steer. She pulled over and her main belt had come off, which in turn caused the car to overheat. Upon further investigation and turning the ignition over, the belt fell off again and so did the pulley on the harmonic balancer. We had to have the car towed to a shop. Upon arriving at the shop i was told that the harmonic balancer broke off…

While driving my 2005 ford mustang (v6 with 7,000 on the odometer) at approx. 40mph the gas pedal suddenly became totally inoperative. This occurred only once but was followed in two subsequent events with the check engine light coming on and the (yellow wrench light) for the throttle control. This then activated the "limp home" mode. Obviously loosing all gas pedal response while driving was the frightening part of…
