hello...
does this problem still exist on the '07 GT models?
It's a TSB where the fuel pump will shut off because of insufficient venting in the gas tank. I've only had the problem on Shell gas pumps really. You can take it in to get it fixed free of charge in about 2 or 3 hours.
I haven't had the issue but I always fill up at 76.
I watched my buddy and his '06 struggle 15min to get 1/4 tank in to his car...and yup...he was at a Shell station.
Nope, Ford keeps telling him that "something" has to break before they can do the TSB.
It goes on to say that for 06's built after that date (and presumably all 07's) the "fix" is to switch to a different service station.
No way! Seriously? "Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I do this...", doctor - "Well, stop doing that!".
Amazing, isn't it? In over 30 years of car ownership (including 2 recent Mustangs), I've never before owned one that exhibited such sensitivity toward gas pumps or required certain filler nozzles to be turned sideways, upside down, etc. This should have been engineered out before these cars were ever cleared for production.
I'm glad it's not just me - it blows my friggin mind that this is an issue!
What's really bad is that this Mustang isn't the first Ford with this problem. I ran into this same exact problem with a 2003 Ranger. SO it's been around for a few years and hasn't been fixed yet.
2007 GTs still have the brake fluid cap seepage problem and SJB short-circuit problem (from water leakage).
