Mustang

  • 64,000 miles
The contact owns a 2001 Ford Mustang. After refueling the vehicle, a fuel leak was discovered underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was examined by an independent mechanic who discovered that a rubber washer in the fuel system was faulty and needed to be replaced. The washer was replaced and the failure was remedied. While driving at night, the low and high beam headlights were very dim and the driver was unable to see the road. Also, while the vehicle was parked on a incline with the emergency brake engaged, it rolled down the driveway and into the street. The cause of the failures was not determined. Estabrook Ford (3689 14th St, pascagoula, ms) and the manufacturer were notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 64,000.

Mustang 6-cyl

  • 94,000 miles
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.

The headlamp lenses are fogged over from the inside. The headlamp appears to have a flaky film on the inside of the lens. The problem has progressively gotten worse as time passed. I have talked with multiple dealers and the manufacturer and nothing was done. The response remains the same, "it just happens." The film has become so thick that it is impairing the light coming from the headlamp at night.
