FORD MUSTANG GT

I am in the same position with my 2005 Mustang as serena z was in her
nov. 26th posting. The gas tank will not fill. I've been to dozens
of stations. Finally after 2 calls to ford I received a call from a
"northeast rep." Within a week she got back to me and said
it was all of the gas pumps and not my car. ALL of the pumps I've
used in the last 7 months!! They will not help me. I have one more
dealership to try. (the other couldn't find any problem). Any
suggestions that won't cost me more than the car did??

**a word about lemon laws...in ny state you have to have had 3 or more
attempts by the dealer to fix your car to qualify. Ford avoids lemon
laws by not making any attempts to fix it, just giving it back and
saying they couldn't find a problem.

I see that you are having the same problem as I had with my Mustang
and just thought I'd drop you a note to let know how things are going.
As of this point, I still do not have a vehicle-the Mustang is sitting
at the dealership. I am still making the payments and paying extra
insurance for the luxury of owing a Mustang GT. I have continually
gotten the run around,from the dealer as well as from Ford. But, I do
have a meeting on 2/08/08. They are going to buy the vehicle back,but
at how much of a loss to me has yet to be determined. They are going
to charge for any mileage,tire wear,etc,because this take away from
the value of the car! Gee,I would think not being able to drive a car
that will not take more than a few cents of gas would devalue it more
than anything I could have done. I probalby should have filed the
"lemon law",but that takes a lot of time and the possibilty
of being out even more money to a lawyer did not appeal to me. I did
think of just letting the car go and letting the finance co. come and
get it,but that would affect my credit. Anyway, I would continue to
take it to the dealer-they should still have to give some paperwork
regarding the issue. I would also go to every site where you can post
negative comments and see if you get anywhere. Ford is well aware of
the problem-I have read of several others with this problem. Needless
to say, I will not be getting another Mustang,even though they have
since changed the design of the gas tank. This has been one of the
most frustrating experiences I have ever had to deal with & I have
come to realize that the joy of a new vehicle is nothing compared to
the nightmare of a lemon!!

I'm not exactly sure where to post this...but,here goes. I want to
thank Planet feedback for offering this platform for consumers. I
received a letter from
Ford less than 2 weeks after posting on this site. When speaking with
their rep. it was obvious that they had seen my post. After speaking
with her I received another call from her in a few hours stating that
she had spoken with the regional Ford rep. and that he should be
getting with me in the next day or so. While I do not yet have a
resolution to my problem - I feel that Planet Feedback had great
influence on getting a response. Thanks and have a nice day!!!!

Ford is living up to its name...Fix or Repair Daily!

Try another dealer

Someone said it before, check your state lemon laws, but the next time
you call the dealer and get the run around, ask them if they have a
1-800# for the state. Most states have this and the dealer can get in
a lot of trouble depending on the state. It might move things along a
little if you request that.

Okay, this might be a stupid question, but does the discrepancy in the
dollar amount of gas your tank would take from fill up to fill up have
anything to do with the constantly changing gas prices????


Two years ago, my gas tank would take about $18. Today, it takes about
$26...

It sounds like the system that handles fuel vapor pressure is not
functioning properly. They should be able to fix that. When the gas
goes in, the air in the tank needs to escape. If the air can't
escape, the pump shuts off.

They have had your car a month? Wow. Is there a regional Ford rep
you can contact? You need to elevate this over your dealership,
evidently.

You need to research (online should be sufficient) your state's lemon
laws to see if your car qualifies. A good source is your state's
attorney general's office.
