Ford Mustang Power Train Safety Report | Dec 14, 2013
Reported on Dec 14, 2013
| DOCUMENTATION ON THIS VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY POSTED ON 12/5/13. AS NOTED; ONGOING TO TRANSMISSION/ CLUTCH PROBLEMS POST TSB REPAIRS CONTINUE. MY VEHICLE REQUIRES THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO BE ENGAGED COMPLETELY DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD DURING THE INITIAL KEY START PROCESS, THEREAFTER; THE CLUTCH PEDAL MUST BE ENGAGED AT A MINIMUM TO FLOORBOARD TO THE MAXIMUM OF APPROXIMATELY 1 -2 INCHES OFF FLOORBOARD. DUE TO MY HEIGHT ( 5'3 ), I AM NOT COMFORTABLE SEATED SO CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT POSSIBLE BODILY HARM OR INJURY DUE TO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT BEYOND POTENTIALLY COMMON INJURIES DUE TO AIR BAG BURNS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO EXPLORE THE OPTION OF CLUTCH PEDAL ADJUSTMENT, TO NO AVAIL . I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THE CLUTCH IS HYDRAULIC, THEREFORE CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED TO ACCOMMODATE. I PERSONALLY HAVE OWNED SEVERAL MANUAL TRANSMISSION DRIVEN VEHICLES WHICH INCLUDE PAST OWNERSHIP OF A FORD MUSTANG GT CONVERTIBLE WITHOUT THESE ISSUES OR PROBLEMS. *TR | |
