ABS light came on, sometimes when braking/slowing down at freeway speeds, the brakes won't catch and it feels like I'm going to ram into the cars ahead, I've replaced the rotors, the calipers, the brakes, the wheel bearings, ABS light won't go away, I've looked into it on the bullitt community forums, and this is a common problem that most just decide to live with, cause no solution has been found.

Where it shows how many miles it's digital and it constantly goes off. Smells of gasoline and like something is burning every time drive it. Has a very rough idle and when a /C is on the car has absolutely no power, also burns gas very quick. Exterior head lights lights are dim and I just installed new one yet still dim

The fill tube between the fuel tank and the nozzle input has rusted thru the entire length, worst under the plastic/rubber wrap at the tank inlet, causing fuel to spill onto the ground when filling the tank. Dealer estimates repair cost at $340. On line inquiries revealed "many-many" other complaints. No Ford recalls or service bulletins. If parked for a few days, the battery runs down. Checked for head/parking/brakes lights left on as well as those inside passenger area and in trunk. None found. Mechanic believes due to radio/cd player amp draw to support clock (etc) even while off"??" installed new battery, ok for awhile, now doing it again.

The contact owns a 2001 Ford Mustang convertible. The contact stated that oxidation build-up on the headlight covers is causing poor visibility when driving at night. In addition, the convertible top does not go up or down because the control module does not recognize when the emergency brake is on or off. The contact feels that this is unsafe because the top can go up or down without warning. The current mileage was 97,000 and failure mileage was 94,000. Updated 06/03/09 updated 06/04/09.
