Air Bags · at 89,000 miles · reported Jun 25, 2016
The car in front of me came to the stop and so did I but as I hit my brake something blew up in my face and made me put my arms up and I lost visibility. The weird part is they went off at a rolling stop under 3 MPH .also last week my car brake switch almost started an electrical fire.
Fuel/Propulsion System · at 121,000 miles · reported Oct 14, 2012
While filing my car with gas, drops of gas were dripping onto the concrete. I looked under my car and the fuel tank filler tube and gas tank gasket are leaking fuel directly onto my exhaust pipe. Had my exhaust been extremely hot, my car would have caught fire and exploded. Please recall this.

Engine and Engine Cooling · at 97,594 miles · reported Mar 31, 2007
March 30, 2007 to whom it may concern: I have a 2000 ford mustang gt-while driving home today 3/30/07 in heavy traffic, I heard a load pop, and then lost engine function. I was lucky that I was not killed. When I checked my engine, it had blown the spark plug-I thought this was an isolated problem until I checked on the internet, and read all of the incidents with fords "spitting" spark plugs.
