    Air conditioner clutch catastrophically failed at 52000 miles. This creates a visibility problem when the interior windshield is fogged up as it cannot be properly defogged while driving. This is the second major component to failure on this vehicle in 5 weeks, as the water pump went out august 10th while driving and dumped all the coolant, quickly overheating the motor.

I have a long history of this problem with them in fords…

    When downshifting in the manual transmission version of this vehicle, the car doesn't slow down on any decline and instead accelerates (without touching the gas pedal). Also, while slowing down on a flat road (at 1,500 to 1,700rpm) the car accelerates by itself and fights the brakes while in gear. *tr

    While driving the mustang (which is a manual transmission) i noticed that the speed of the car doesn't decelerate when i take my foot off the gas pedal. The car is given gas (more than an idle amount) when i do not depress the gas pedal. It happens in all 6 gears but it's most noticeable when in first or second. Also, while the car is in gear, the engine fights to slow down while depressing the brake pedal. This…
