The rear defrost on my 2007 Mustang GT convertible is dangling from the rear window. It will not work or defrost, causing visibility problems. Had it repaired at dealership and it came loose again, they said I would have to replace the whole top to fix the problem.
Similar to the 2010 Fusion problem of stuck accelerator, I have had this same problem with the 2007 Ford Mustang GT. This problem has occurred ever since I received the mats in June of 2007 and has occurred numerous times! the all-weather mat is sitting on top of the standard mat and slips forward. When the accelerator is depressed fully, it does get stuck under the all-weather mat. In one incident, I was on a freeway going to pass a vehicle. When I floored the accelerator, it stuck! in a Mustang, you can imagine the amount of acceleration involved and I was up over 120mph in seconds! I had to turn off the engine to begin deceleration. Frightening!
I read an article in the September 2008 consumers reports magazine which described a recall for manufacturer : tech international, NHTSA campaign id number : 08T018000, for defective tire valves. I had a problem with a defective tire valve recently on my 2007 Ford Mustang, and now wonder if Ford isn't using this same manufacturer of tire valves in their new cars. More details of my incident follow... 1) I was driving at approx. 55 mph on two lane road on a hot (90+) summer day (6/8/08). The low pressure warning light came on, and I pulled over asap to investigate. 2) the driver side rear tire was low. I pumped air into the tire, and noticed the valve stem was cracked at the base where it installs in the alloy rim. It would not hold pressure, so I installed the spare, and drove to a nearby sears to repair the valve stem. 3) I paid $26 for a "flat repair" - basically they replaced the tire valve. I do not have the old part. The good news is the tire pressure sensor technology saved me from having a high speed flat. I expected to find a nail in my tire, not a faulty valve stem. I have not contacted my local Ford dealer at this time. I purchased the car new from Ford in April 2007. It is a 2007 Ford Mustang V6, 4.0L SOHC, with approx. 10K miles. The tires are pirelli pzero nero P235/ mounted on alloy wheels.
