This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
When I come to complete stops, (e.g. @ a red light) the tachometer slowly rises to 3,000 - 3,500 RPM's and the engine compartment shakes and roars as if I am accelerating. This has occurred at least 35 times since the original occurrence on 12/19/1999. I have not driven the vehicle since 02/29/1999. The car has been to two Ford dealerships six time to fix the problem. The following items have been replaced: Air bypass valve, iac (3 times - they claimed each one, including the original was faulty), on board computer. Yet the problem still persists. Ford has finally agreed to reacquire my vehicle. I have spoken to other 2000 Mustang GT owners (all with vehicles built in 09/1999) they also have idle issues. The two I have spoken with have a reverse problem. Theirs idle so low, the vehicle stalls. I think Ford should look into the GT's that were built early in the model year. I have not heard of anything with the GT's built later in the year.
