The contact owns a 2005 Ford Mustang.

2005 Ford Mustang fuel system, replaced due to system failure when filling car with gas, it broke again Ford will not or can not fix, manual 5-speed transmissions replaced 2 times and going out again, car at Ford 28 days in last 6 months for warranty repairs, Ford denies the car is a lemon.
I have experienced complete battery failure twice on my new Ford Mustang. The local Ford dealers service department cannot give me a good explanation as to what is causing this problem. They told me that my car was not being driven enough. This is no answer. They tried to sell me an under the hood power disconnect apparatus. I said no as this would make me reset all of my radio and clock settings every time I disconnected the battery. I don't dare leave my car idle for any length of time as this will probably lead to another power failure. My car only has 1,100 miles on it and it has had to be towed twice to the dealer to have a new battery installed. No new car should have this problem.
