Ford Mustang Power Train Safety Report | Feb 20, 2012
Reported on Feb 20, 2012
| AFTER I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I NOTICED A VIBRATION IN THE SHIFTER WHICH EMINATED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP APRROXIMATELY A MONTH OR MORE LATER AND WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, TO THIS DAY THERE EXISTS A VERY NOTICABLE VIBRATION WITH INCREASING EPISODES OF DIFFICULTY CHANGING GEARS BETWEEN # 5 TO 2, EITHER SHIFTING UP OR DOWN. IT IS MORE NOTICABLE WHEN DOWN SHIFTING. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I HAD TO SHIFT INTO ANOTHER GEAR ABOVE WHAT I WAS ATTEMPTING TO GO FOR BECAUSE THE GEAR WOULD NOT CONNECT INTO PROPER PLACEMENT. THIS CAUSED A BRIEF BACK UP WHEN GOING ONTO THE FREEWAY WITH SEVERAL CARS BEHIND ME DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION BEING STUCK IN A PARTICULAR GEAR SETTING (#3). THIS CLEARED ONCE I CHANGED TO A LOWER GEAR RATIO. *TR | |
