WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT WENT INTO A "LIMP MODE". IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BUT THIS PARTICULAR DAY I WAS CROSSING AN INTERSECTION AND MY CAR JUST LOST POWER. I WAS ALMOST SMASHED ON EACH SIDE. A WRENCH LIGHT POPPED UP ON MY DASHBOARD AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS LITERALLY STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I HAD TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF FOR 3 MINUTES. IT STARTED BACK UP BUT IT STILL DOES IT AT LEAST 5-6 TIMES A WEEK. I HAD THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AND IT STILL DOES IT. I AM ONLY THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND I TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. I LOVE THE MUSTANGS, BUT IF I WOULD'VE KNOW OF THIS VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, I WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT IT. I CAN BE DRIVING AT 60MPH AND THIS WILL HAPPEN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING. I'VE READ THAT SOME PREVIOUS FORD MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE MUSTANGS HAVEN'T BEEN. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BY FORD. WHEN I CALLED THEM THEY JUST TOLD ME TO KEEP MY RECEIPTS. I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY ARE DOING THIS TO PEOPLE.

AFTER HAVING MY CAR FOR 5.5 YEARS, IT STARTED TO SHIFT GEARS ON ITS OWN (IT'S AN AUTOMATIC) AND BRAKE/STALL WHEN I'M GOING LOW SPEEDS. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO ACCELERATE (BEEN STUCK IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS ABOUT 5 TIMES) EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE ENGINE DOES NOT SHUT OFF...SO I WILL TURN MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO GET GOING AGAIN. ONE TIME I WAS ON THE FREE WAY WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS GOING 65 MPH AND MY DASH BOARD WENT COMPLETELY RED AND SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO...THE CAR DID NOT STOP UNTIL I MANUALLY TURNED IF OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ALSO, IT ONCE DID THE OPPOSITE WHEN I WAS TRYING TO BRAKE BEFORE A RED LIGHT, THE CAR JOLTED/ACCELERATED FORWARD WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS. I'VE REPLACED THE AIR FILTERS, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND ENGINE'S WIRE HARNESS (ALL AT SEPARATE TIMES) AND THE ISSUE REMAINS.
