Ford Mustang Power Train Manual Transmission Safety Report | June 21, 2011
Reported on June 21, 2011
| THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON MY 2011 FORD MUSTANG HAS ERRATIC SHIFTING WHICH HAS CAUSED ME TO NEARLY BE REAR-ENDED TWICE NOW AND HIT BY ON-COMING TRAFFIC AS IT FAILS TO GO IN GEAR, EVEN WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY ENGAGED. THERE APPEARS TO BE PROBLEMS SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND FROM 2ND TO 3RD. THE GEARS WILL NOT ENGAGE AND THE TRANSMISSION REMAINS IN NEUTRAL. THE LATEST INCIDENT FOR ME WAS WHEN I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPLIGHT THAT TURNED GREEN, I SHIFTED FROM 1ST TO 2ND BUT COULDN'T GET THE TRANSMISSION INTO 2ND OR 3RD WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY DEPRESSED. BECAUSE I WAS IN NEUTRAL, I LOST MOST ACCELERATION AND THE SUV BEHIND ME NEARLY REAR-ENDED AS I WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I WAS ABLE TO AT LEAST REV THE ENGINE ENOUGH TO GET IT INTO 4TH TO GET ENOUGH POWER TO THE WHEELS TO AVOID BEING HIT. *TR | |
