I was driving down the road at the speed limit when all of a sudden the engine light came on and the car immediately stalled. I had to pull over to the shoulder and put my hazards on so I didn't get hit from behind or cause a dangerous accident to the other motorists. I turned off the car, left the hazards on and waited a few minutes before starting it up again. It started thankfully and I was able to pull into a parking lot safely to avoid an accident. Very frightening experience. Eventually someone was able to come and help me get my car home. We believe that the incident had something to do with the defective throttle body, and throttle body sensor. Ford should have recalled this problem and pay for their faulty parts. This car is a 2005 Ford Mustang convertible with a V6 engine.

Returning home from work, the engine stopped operating. I pulled onto the median and managed to bring my vehicle to a stop. The check engine light as well as other icons were lit up on the information panel which indicated there was still electrical power. After a couple of attempts the vehicle started and I proceeded on my way. Traffic was heavy by this time. Within the next mile or so the vehicle stalled an additional 4-5 times particularly when stopped at intersections. I managed to restart the vehicle and proceeded directly to the auto dealership since it was on my way.

The instrument cluster on my 2005 Mustang is failing. The RPM (tach) does not work at all. My temperature gauge does not work at all. My speedometer is starting to fail. I have researched and found this is a common problem w/ the 2005 Mustangs, yet there is no recall. If my car overheats, I will never know it. When my speedometer finally fails, I will not know how fast I am going.

The speedometer gauge is stuck around 100 mph when the car is not moving. The gauge then moves from that point once the car is in motion.

My fuel gauge, car temperature, and speedometer, all of a sudden started reading all over the place. The fuel gauge goes way past the full mark. The temperature gauge goes way past the hot mark. The speedometer always reads 110 mph.

- Houston, TX, USA

The speedo went first then all the other gauges started giving false on no reading at all. I am using a gps for a speedo others in this small town say they are having the same problems with there 2005 Mustangs.I took it back to the dealer they said they knew of no recalls or problems.

The contact owns a 2005 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the temperature gauge became inoperable with no symptoms of the engine over heating. A certified mechanic replaced the thermostat and temperature gauge. The failure persisted after the repair was performed. In addition, an independent mechanic diagnosed the vehicle where a trouble code was not detected. Recently the fuel gauge failed to operate. The vehicle had not been repaired for either one of the defects. The manufacturer was notified and they informed that there was not a recall related to the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

Dash board gauge stepper motors are faulty resulting in no speed registered...no coolant temp registered..improper/no fuel level reading...incorrect/no R.P.M. readings... upon start up, the gauges go, for lack of better word, crazy..or don't operate at all lots of Ford Mustang owners are experiencing this issue>>>> dangerous to not know the speed RPM fuel level and coolant temp.... could result in accident, vehicle damage...or worse!! Ford needs to be advised to recall and fix this issue....

Gauges quit working. Started with speedometer and has grown to include not only the speedometer but also the tachometer and temperature gauge.

- Cape Girardeau, MO, USA

None of the gauges on this vehicle work. Including speed/temp/oil/fuel.

At about 80,000 miles my tachometer gauge dial stopped working. At about 90,000 miles my temperature gauge dial stopped working. At about 100,000 miles my fuel gauge stopped working.

- Sunnyvale, CA, USA

The gauge clusters failed. The speedometer failed and is no longer working. RPM and fuel gauge are starting to fail. From what I have read on-line. The 2005 Mustang gauge motors were poorly designed and Ford fixed the problem in the 2006 models but failed to fix the defective parts in the 2005 models.

The speedometer sticks at approx 60,40,35 mph. It will use that as zero so if it sticks at 60. And you are going 60 it will read 120. Ford says that I should replace the instrument panel. There are numerous other 2005 Mustang V6 owners who have the same problem.

- Middletown, RI, USA

One incident, driving home from work when car ran out of gas and saw the as gas guage indicator facing straight down, temperature guage and the tachometer was not working. The car ran out of gas on major high way and my daughter alone stuck on the road at 3 am with large trucks passing by. She had believed the car had plenty of gas. The guages are still not fixed properly do not work at 100777 miles.

As with many other Ford Mustang owners know instrument gauges fail. I have stopped driving my Mustang because I received two speeding tickets about a month or two apart.. I was doing the speed limit according to my dash but chp told me different. Did not believe or want to hear anything I said. I paid $900 for the first ticket and cant afford to pay another $900 for the second one so they are not letting me renew my license which is required for the job I do. So I'm gonna lose my job on my birthday. Justice in America... this has ruined my life... no one will help me or listen to me and I'm tired of trying to get help... someone needs to be held responsible for this so when I commit suicide after I'm let go from my job in two months what happened to me will not happen to anyone else. Please... justice for all..
