I have had several reoccurring problems including 2 transmission failures. The transmission is an aod automatic, and it still doesn't shift correctly. If passing gear is engaged, then car's rpms shoot up and it shifts down to too low of a gear. I have replaced 2 water pumps that were leaking. I have replaced a sway bar that broke while driving down a flat road. There is a whinning sound that comes from either the pulleys or the crankshaft. In hot weather the car will act like it is running out of gas when accelerating even when the tank is full. The brakes are very poor even with new pads and the rotors resurfaced, they fade especially when braking must be done quickly or at higher speeds. There are also many rattles that come from various bady panels and the trunk when driving.

While engine braking, engine stalls when downshifting. First had this problem at 1000 miles. Dealer has always claimed the engine is in fine operating condition.

Transmission slips and vehicle vibrates during shift into 4th gear (overdrive). This only happens when vehicle is slowly accelerated to highway speed.

Transmisson needs to be overhauled(rebuilt) due to a malfunction internally through no fault of my own.

Was driving vehicle & felt transmission slipping. Had returned to dealer who refused to repair it. Later had cruise control on & vehicle suddenly accelerated. Applied brakes shut it off, but did not stop it. Turned vehicle off & restarted it. Vehicle has no air bags. Vehicle had a 1998 front repair done, but no accident had happened.

Car has had serious braking, transmission and cooling problems since the date purchased. Has been in the shop for these repairs more then 12 times. Dealer & Ford have said there is nothing wrong with this car. I have read 33 pages of comments of 1996 Mustang owners who are experiencing the same serious defects that I have. Please do something about this unsafe vehicle!
