| I DRIVE A 2012 V6 MUSTANG 2DR COUPE BASE .I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ONTO I40/I85 WHEN TRIED GO TO SECOND GEAR WHEN IT WOULD NOT GO. I TRIED FORCING IT BUT WAS AFRAID I WOULD SNAP THE SHIFTER SHAFT SO I WAS FORCED TO SLOW AND THEN IT FINALLY WENT INTO 2ND GEAR. THIS WAS THE OTHER DAY 1/12/13. SO THIS IS NOT FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SAME THING WHEN YOU GET ON THE PEDAL THIS HAPPENS AND ON OCCASION IT WILL GO INTO 2ND BUT WILL GRIND.THIS HAS HAPPENED MAYBE 10-20 TIMES BOTH GRINDING AND JUST NOT GOING INTO 2ND GEAR. SO I KNOW THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH FORD AND THE MUSTANGS OF 2011 AND 2012 FROM OTHER MUSTANG OWNERS I HAVE TALKED TO EITHER ON FORUMS OR IN PERSON. WHEN I ATTENDED MUSTANG WEEK IN MYRTLE BEACH SC IN 2012 SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD THIS ISSUE AS WELL. SO WHAT CAN I DO?
