Ford Mustang Power Train Manual Transmission Safety Report | Mar 23, 2011
Reported on Mar 23, 2011
| I HAD AN ISSUE TODAY THAT WAS DANGEROUS AND HAD POTENTIAL TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MY CAR'S SHIFT LEVER BECAME STUCK AND WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR AND I HAD TO FORCE IT BACK TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION WHILE COMING TO A STOP LIGHT.. THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN MY 2011 FORD MUSTANG GT HAS BEEN WHINING AND GRINDING GEARS SINCE THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW (ONLY TO GET THE EXACT SAME CLUTCH ASSEMBLY), AND WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE DEALER MARCH 29TH TO HOPEFULLY GET THE TRANS REPLACED (W/ THE EXACT SAME TRANS THAT HAS ALL THESE KNOWN ISSUES). I IMAGINE THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN THE CAR IS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THIS IS MY ONLY AND FIRST BRAND NEW CAR, I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THESE DANGEROUS PROBLEMS, LET ALONG TAKING MY BRAND NEW CAR TO A DEALERSHIP TO KEEP GETTING REPAIRED OVER AND OVER AGAIN BECAUSE THE FAILING PARTS ARE JUST BEING REPLACED W/ THE SAME PARTS ONLY TO FAIL OVER AND OVER AGAIN. FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND REPLACE THIS TRANS W/ AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT/DEPENDABLE MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I HAVE OWNED 7 MUSTANGS, AND THIS BRAND NEW ONE HAS HAD MORE TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH PROBLEMS THEN ANY CAR I HAVE EVER HAD.. WORSE OFF ITS THE MOST $$ I HAVE EVER SPENT ON A CAR AS WELL.. $30K. FOR PARTS THAT KEEP FAILING. *TR | |
