problem #1

Jan 262007

Mustang 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 7,200 miles
I have a 2005 Mustang. It had fuel filling problems since I got it. The pump would click off continuously making it virtually impossible to fill. At times, it would even allow the gasoline to spew out of the vehicle. I took the vehicle to the service department and they already had a bulletin from Ford indicating the problem and that the tank should be replaced. Recently, I have been having the same problem again with the new fuel tank. I don't fill up that often, because I work from home and rarely drive the car. Again, difficult to fill and fuel spewing out of the car onto the side of the vehicle and the ground. I know from reading online that hundreds if not thousands of other Mustangs are having the same issues. I took it back to the service department and this time they decided that they were not going to fix it. According to the service ticket it is a normal characteristic of that vehicle to spew fuel out of the side of the car when you are attempting to fill it up. Yes, I have the ticket if you would like a copy of it. The date I provide on this form will be for the most recent incident. It spent a week in the shop following the incident, but, according to the shop foreman, was never looked at.
