Ford Mustang Power Train Safety Report | Mar 10, 2012
Reported on Mar 10, 2012
| I READ SEVERAL DETAILS ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING DIFFICULTY SHIFTING IN HIGH REVS OR WHEN DRIVING FAST BUT I DO NEITHER. I TRAVEL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HAVE HAD DIFFICULTY SHIFTING FROM ONE GEAR TO ANOTHER AND END UP REDUCING MY SPEED IN ORDER TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGE OR EVEN SPEED UP JUST TO HUNT FOR THE NEXT GEAR. ON THREE OCCASIONS THIS HAS CAUSED ME CONCERN WHILE DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS BECASUE TRAFFIC IS HEAVY AND SOME PEOPLE DRIVE VERY FAST AND CLOSE. I AM GETTING READY (NEXT WEEK) TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND HAVE THEM EXAMINE THE PROBLEM BECASUE IT IS CAUSING ME CONCERN ABOUT MY SAFERTY AND THAT OF FAMILY MEMBERS. MY WIFE DOES NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE BECASUE SHE WAS ALSO EXPERIENCING SHIFTING DIFFICULTIES. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A VIBRATION OCCURRING WHILE SHIFTING OR GETTING READY TO SHIFT THAT HAS NEVER OCCURRED IN ANY OTHER MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. *TR | |
