What owners wrote
Cannot fill fuel tank. The pump shuts off very quickly after attempting to fill. Ford has said that it is a flow problem on the fuel pumps. Their solution for the problem is to replace the gas tank. My car already has the updated tank and I still can't put gas in it. The dealer said there hands are tied by the manufacturer since the car is under warranty.
2005 ford mustang - occasionally driven car - driving on a 2 lane road, passed a car at full throttle, went to let off gas, patted pedal to release with no results, then turned off engine, came to a stop, started the car back, throttle was fine and have had no repeat of problem. Car driven 5,000 miles since. Did not report to dealer.
