I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO A STREET. THE DRIVER'S DOOR FLEW OPEN. I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND CLOSE THE DOOR BEFORE THERE WAS ANY TYPE OF CRASH AND NO INJURY. DURING LATE 2012 I HAD NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S DOOR NOT LATCHING WHEN I CLOSED IT. WHEN INSIDE THE CAR I MADE A POINT OF CLOSING THE DOOR FIRMLY. WHEN PARKING THE CAR I DEVELOPED THE HABIT OF HITTING THE DOOR LATCH TO BE CERTAIN IT WAS CLOSED SECURELY. THERE WAS ONE OTHER TIME AFTER THE FIRST INSTANCE THE DOOR OPENED UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN DRIVING BUT I WAS ABLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR, AGAIN WITHOUT INCIDENT OR INJURY. I BOUGHT A NEW DOOR HANDLE THROUGH THE FORD DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I'D PURCHASED THE CAR AND HAD IT INSTALLED IN SEPT 2014. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE HANDLE THAT WASN'T WORKING AND NOT A BIGGER PROBLEM IN THE DOOR. I ORDERED THE CAR ABOUT 5-27-09 AND TOOK DELIVERY 8-11-09. *TR

ON OCT 27, 2014 I WAS TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN ONTO OUR LOCAL HIGHWAY. AS I ACCELERATED FROM 40 MPH TO THE 65 MPH SPEED LIMIT THE GAS PEDAL CONTINUED TO RAPIDLY DEPRESS TO THE FLOOR SENDING ME UP TO 80 MPH UNTIL I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH. AT THAT POINT THE ENGINE RPM SKYROCKETED, SO I TURNED OFF THE CAR, APPLIED THE BRAKES AND PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE! I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST CAUSED BY THE GAS PEDAL GETTING STUCK UNDER MY NEW FLOOR MAT, BUT THEN HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS, SO I KNEW IT WAS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. SINCE THEN I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND LOTS OF INFORMATION AND BLOGS FROM OTHER MUSTANG OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND PLAN TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT IMMEDIATELY WITH MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. QUESTION: WHY DOESN'T FORD DO A MAJOR RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED? *TR

THERE ARE TIMES WHERE I AM ABLE TO APPLY COMPLETE PRESSURE TO MY MUSTANG'S ACCELERATION PEDAL AND UPON REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE. ON FEBRUARY 4TH, 2015, MY CAR CONTINUED ACCELERATION ON WHAT WAS LUCKILY AN OPEN HIGHWAY. I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY MY BRAKES AND THEY SEEMED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN SOMEWHAT. UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE BEGAN ACCELERATING AGAIN. I HAD TO REPEATEDLY JAM MY FOOT INTO THE GAS PEDAL TO BREAK IT FREE. I WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THIS SAME ISSUE DIRECTLY AFTERWARDS. NEXT, I PARKED MY VEHICLE AND TURNED IT OFF. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THE PEDAL COULD BE GETTING STUCK ON. I HAVE FLOOR MATS, BUT, THERE IS NO WAY IT IS SEEMINGLY POSSIBLE FOR THE PEDAL TO GET STUCK UNDERNEATH THE MAT. I TRIED MY BEST TO FIND SOME WAY THE GET THE PEDAL STUCK UNDERNEATH THE FLOOR MAT. THE PEDAL WOULD JUST POP RIGHT BACK UP. WHAT REALLY SCARED ME, WAS AFTER RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL (WITH THE CAR OFF) AND VISUALLY SEEING THE PEDAL UNTOUCHED BY ANY TYPE OF OBSTRUCTION, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE BEGAN REVVING AS IF I WAS HOLDING THE GAS PEDAL DOWN, BUT OF COURSE THE CAR WAS IN PARK. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE SINCE THEN TODAY. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE ON MULTIPLE DAYS OF DRIVING. *TR
