The 2007 Mustang pulled out from the side-street in front of an older Chevy pickup at a tee intersection in a suburban neighborhood with very restricted sight distance, and was t-boned on the driver's side by the pickup travelling at around 35 MPH. The driver's side of the Mustang was severely damaged to the extent that the left front wheel/tire/suspension assembly was ripped off the car. The point of impact was between the left front wheel and the middle of the driver's door. The Mustang is a one-owner car which was bought new and was specifically purchased with side airbags (an option on 2007 mustangs). The vehicle has been well-maintained. The airbag tab was visible on the seat side bolster. Despite the severity of the impact, the side airbag did not deploy. …
I was following my wife to the Jeep Dodge cherokee dealership to get her recall taking care of. On the way there at the off ramp of 575 and riverstone parkway I made a right turn to get off on the ramp to exit and I heard a loud thud and the motor accelerated very loud and odd sounding. I was unable to control the vehicle. The only thing I could do to keep from running into anyone was slam on the brakes when I did that the breaks gave a loud screech and was very slow to stop. I ended up hitting 3 cars on the left side none of the airbags deployed nor did any of the seatbelt lock so the only thing I had to stop me from hitting my head against the steering wheel was to put my hands out in front of me on the steering wheel. When the impact happen it was so fierce that my right hand gave out and was snatched of the steering wheel and I damaged my right arm on the steering wheel column. …

I had filed a complaint a few weeks ago ( odi# 10192797) about the power steering pump failure on my 2007 Mustang gt which had 270 miles on it. The dealership replaced the pump under the warranty and I had mentioned a problem with the front end also. I returned the car to the dealership and to my dismay, was told that they had to replace my front struts, they explained that this was the cause of my alignment issue. They further explained to me that they think that while my car was being transported via train, that they tied the car down too tightly causing stress on the struts and casters causing the alignment and steering wheel issues. …
I own a 2007 Mustang gt. It has less than 15 thousand miles on it. It has failed inspection (12/22/11) due to the driver side lower ball joint being worn out. The car is pulling and has a thumping noise. I contacted Ford and they e-mailed me the following information: in the future, when the national highway traffic and safety administration (NHTSA) release a recall/customer satisfaction program on this particular component, you will be eligible for a refund if you already had the repairs completed and if not, you will be able to have the repair free of charge. Keep in mind that the NHTSA is the federal agency who is responsible to review this kind of programs.
