2012 FORD MUSTANG Power Train Problems

Transmission seems to lose power while driving, the car will barely pull itself but the rpms increase if I accelerate. This has happened several times while driving and occasionally there are dash lights lighting and speedometer/gas gauge doesn’t work but that doesn’t happen every time. When it happens I pull over and shut it down and restart and it runs correctly until it happens again! I do a lot of highway driving and the car just “falling flat” on a multi-lane highway at 70+ mph is definitely a safety issue! I have taken it to my local fastlane shop and the car was driven but didn’t malfunction at that time. He advised me to try to drive it there if it happened again, but I have never been close to the shop at the times it happens or they are closed. There is no advance warning, it happens at various speeds and even on takeoff after stopping for traffic lights. I once was pulling into traffic when it happened and didn’t have enough power to get to my lane before it fell flat! Fortunately I could back up before getting hit by oncoming traffic.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Mustang. The contact stated while driving at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle started stalling. The contact pulled over to the side of the road; however, the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and was diagnosed with transmission range sensor failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 12V190000 (Power Train, Exterior Lighting) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

Recently started having erratic shifting issues. Will downshift randomly out of nowhere while driving. Sometimes will just be stuck in 1st gear and won’t go anywhere until I pull over and shut off/start up again. Dangerous because I never know when it will do it. Might seem like everything is fine and then all of a sudden, it downshifts and loses power. Rpm’s rise but car has no power. Have to figure out how to get out of the way. As stated in ford’s “ Customer Satisfaction Program 16N02,” my 2012 has all the symptoms and I have DTC code P0731 but dealer refused to service my vehicle because it doesn’t show up with my VIN, even though it’s a 2012 and I clearly need my Molded Leadframe replaced.

The transmission down shifted to first gear and the rear tires locked up. Skidding on the highway.

The contact then pulled into the nearest gas station, parked, and turned off the vehicle. The contact resumed driving; however, the failure reoccurred while driving 40 MPH. The vehicle was towed to an unknown dealer who informed the contact that they could not diagnose the vehicle as the transmission specialist was not available. The contact drove to his residence. The vehicle was towed to a second dealer where it was being diagnosed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist as the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V248000 (Power Train).

Transmission unexpectedly slipped gear while driving at a steady pace in traffic. Caused RPMs to rev high and loud, with inability to control speed suddenly. Had to quickly pull over and turn off car. After waiting a few minutes, was able to restart car and continue driving without issue. This has happened 3-4 times now. Took to my local mechanic who stated there is an issue with a sensor inside the transmission. Spoke to my Ford dealer I purchased the car from, and was informed that this is a known issue occurring with many 2012 Form Mustangs, and they expect a recall to be announced shortly.

car stopped accelerating twice on my mustang 7/23/21.first time on the way to work in traffic and then again when I was going to lunch around 11:30.

IAS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND LET OFF THE GAS, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED SUDDENLY TO A LOWER GEAR CAUSING THE ENGINE TO REV UP TO 4000 RPM.

CAR SHAKES WHEN COASTING BETWEEN. 2K RPMS AND 3K RPMS CAR STARTS TO HESITATE AND ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS STEP OPN CLUTCH AND SHIFT TO ANOTHER GEAR OR STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL AND AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS IT WILL BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AND SHAKE MORE AGGRESSIVELY BEFORE RETURNING TO NORMAL OPERATION WITHOUT SHAKING WHICH WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF I WERE TO TRY TO MATCH SPEED WHILE ENTERING A FREE WAY OR AVOIDING A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT.

THE GETRAG MT-82 MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN MY MUSTANG HAS HAD A HISTORY OF SHIFTS THAT TAKE EXTRA EFFORT, CLUNKY SHIFT ENGAGEMENT, AND A HIGH PITCHED WHINING NOISE FROM THE DRIVETRAIN UNDER THROTTLE APPLICATION, SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED 5 YEARS AGO. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT AT A FORD DEALER, BUT THEY SAY NOTING IS WRONG. THE WHINE IS PRESENT EVERY TIME I DRIVE, THE OTHER ISSUES ARE INTERMITTENT. IN THE MOST ODD INCIDENT THAT I HAD IN THE VEHICLE, I WAS IN 2ND GEAR UNDER THROTTLE AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE WILDLY BACK AND FORTH, WITH A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY ON THE DATE, A FEW YEARS AGO FOR SURE. I HAVE TRIED TO REPLICATE THE EFFECT, AND IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW OTHER TIMES IN A LESS DRAMATIC MANNER, BUT NEVER QUITE LIKE THAT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, AND FEEL IT IS NOT VERY SAFE. I KNOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. THANK YOU FOR THE INVESTIGATION.

FYI I CAN NOT INCLUDE THE TOP/ROOF DUE TO IT WONT ALLOW ME TO INPUT THE CHECK MARK) I BAUGHT THIS MUSTANG IN JUNE 2012,USED FROM FORD HERE IN SIOUX FALLS SD, SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE ASKED ABOUT THE TOP ABOUT THE CLUNKING AND IF THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME IF ANY RECALLS. THEY ONLY SENT ONE FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG , UNTIL THIS WEEK WHEN I RECEIVED A SECOND NOTICE FOR THE TAKATA AIR BAGS FROM THE DAY I TOOK HER OFF THE LOT. I WANTED TO KNOW WHY MY FRONT END SUSPENSION IS MAKING A CLUNKING SOUND IN FRONT AND IT'S BEEN THERE SINCE THE FIRST DAY, I EVEN HAD HER LOOKED AT TO MAKE SURE SHE WASN'T DAMAGED, WITHIN MINUTES THEY CAME BACK AND SAID SHE'S FINE NO PROBLEMS AND WHY MY TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT TO HIGHER GEARS FROM 1ST THRU OVERDRIVE, SHE BOGS DOWN LIKE THERE ISNT ANY FUEL GETTING TO HER ENGINE AND SHE DOESN'T SHIFT THROUGH THE GEARS PROPERLY, IF I HAD RECIEVED THE RECALLS IT WOULD OF BEEN IN IMMEDIATELY. MY TOP LEAKS WATER WHEN WASHED SO IT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE ON THE INSIDE ESPECIALLY THE DOOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, YET FORD REFUSED TO HAVE THE TOP REDONE SINCE THEY FEEL IT'S JUST NORMAL WEAR YET ITS HAPPENED SINCE THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO WASH HER. I'M STARTING TO THINK THINK FORD HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF ME IN THIS CASE AS I STILL CAN NOT GET ANY UPDATED INFORMATION ON MY CAR AND IF I CAN EITHER GET THE WORK DONE OR THE VEHICLE REPLACED, MIND YOU I STILL OWE ON HER AND TO BE HONEST I DO NOT WANT A TRADE IN , I'D RATHER FORD FIX THESE ISSUES AND WRITE OFF THE REMAINING DEBT DUE TO NEGLIGENCE FOR NOT ADVISING ME OF THESE RECALLS IN A TIMELY MANNER AND FOR BIT FIXING THE ISSUES WHEN THE RECALLS CAME OUT . IT'S QUITE FRUSTRATING TO KNOW I'VE PAID OVER 20000 FOR A CAR THAT THEY ARE WILLFULLY NEGLECTING TO FIX AND YET I'M TO BE LIABLE FOR THE DEBT NO MATTER THE POSSIBLITY THAT THEY ARE NEGLIGENT AND DISMISSIVE OF MY CLAIMS.

I NEVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BUT IT SCARED ME TO DEATH! THERE WAS LIGHT UP WRENCH SYMBOL ERROR WARNING. THE DASH TURNED RED AND ALL SPEED, FUEL LEVEL AND MILEAGE WAS BLANK. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND MADE SURE IT WAS ENGAGED. I PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AND SHUT THE IGNITION OFF. CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH WAS FINE. MY MUSTANG WAS MADE IN JANUARY 2012 AT THE FLAT ROCK ASSEMBLY PLANT. AS I BEGAN MY RESEARCH, I FOUND THE FORD RECALL 16S19. WHICH DESCRIBED EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED IN MY SITUATION. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP CALLED FORD FOR APPROVAL, THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT SHOWING IT AS AN EXPOSED VEHICLE. IT MANUFACTURE DATE, ASSEMBLY PLANT, TRANSMISSION TYPE ALL MATCH BUT SOMEHOW MY VIN WAS NOT SHOWING. I PAID $950 OUT OF MY OWN POCKET FOR THE EXACT REPAIR THIS RECALL CALLED FOR. WHICH CORRECTED THE ISSUE. HOW IN THE HECK IS MY CAR NOT COVERED WHEN I KNOW IT HAD THE SAME TRANSMISSION MOLDED COVER ISSUE... PLEASE HELP ME. I CAN PROVIDE MY REPAIR RECORDS TO SHOW IT WAS EXACTLY THE REPAIR PROCEDURE THE RECALL RECOMMENDED.

OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. IT HAS DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR ON ITS OWN FROM DIFFERENT GEARS, IT HAS STAYED LOCKED IN GEAR ON SEVERAL GEARS AND IT HAS STAYED IN A HIGH GEAR WHILE STOPPED, SO IT IS VERY SLOW LEAVING A LIGHT. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. NO TROUBLE CODES OR LIGHTS (MIL OR WRENCH) HAVE BEEN THROWN OR LIT UP DURING THE INCIDENTS. THE CAR SEEMS TO RIGHT ITSELF AFTER A FEW MINUTES. HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A LONG PERIOD AND IS COLD. TOOK THE CAR TO GLENN FORD IN NICHOLASVILLE, KY AND EXPLAINED WHAT THE VEHICLE WAS DOING AND IF IT WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL THAT THEY PERFORMED (16N02/16S19) ON THE CAR BACK IN FEB 2017. THEY BRUSHED IT OFF AND SAID IT WOULD BE $110 TO LOOK AT THE CAR. WE SAID FINE. THEY HAVE HELD THE CAR FOR 6 DAYS AND SAID THEY DROVE IT AT LEAST 36 MILES AND "NOTHING HAPPENED". THEY SAID THERE ARE NO DTC/FAULT CODES, SO THE CAR IS PERFECTLY FINE. THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT PERFORM THE MOLDED LEADFRAME REPAIR OF THE RECALL BECAUSE THERE ARE NO FAULT CODES. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE COMPLAINING OF THE SITUATION BECAUSE THE INFO ON THE NOTICE SAYS EITHER A FAULT CODE SHOWS UP OR THE CUSTOMER "REPORTS AN INTERMITTENT UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR". WELL, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE REPORTED BEFORE WE EVEN REALIZED ANYTHING ABOUT THE LEADFRAME PART OF THE RECALL. BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD HAVE REFUSED TO FIX THE VEHICLE UNLESS THERE IS A DEFAULT CODE/DTC SHOWING. THEY WANT US TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL A FAULT CODE SHOWS (THUS POSSIBLY ENDANGERING OUR LIVES) AND THEN THEY WILL LOOK AT IT AGAIN. DOESN'T MEAN FIX IT, JUST LOOK AT IT AGAIN FOR ANOTHER $110. THIS IS COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE. FORD WON'T EVEN FIX IT UNDER THEIR OWN RECALL INSTRUCTIONS!!!! AND THE CAR QUALIFIES!

THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME THIS WAY IN FEBRUARY OF 2013, AND AT THE TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAD TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS AN OPEN ECM ISSUE AND WAS NOTHING TO BE CONCERNED WITH. I TOOK THEM AT THEIR WORD AND AM PAYING THE PRICE FOR IT. I HAVE CHECKED MY CAR FAX, AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION OF THIS AS A PROBLEM. NOW, I AM GETTING A CODE P0769 READ MORE: HTTPS://WWW.ENGINE-CODES.COM/P0769.HTML THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD IS SAYING THEY DO NOT AND ARE NOT GOING TO COVER THIS UNDER THE RECALL NOTIFICATION.

YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THE 2012 MUSTANG HAS A DEFECTIVE PART CALLED A THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. FORD IS AWARE IT IS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THEY WERE REPLACING THIS PART FREE OF CHARGE PRIOR TO JANUARY 2015. CURRENTLY IT IS NOT UNDER A SAFETY RECALL BUT IT MOST CERTAINLY SHOULD BE. WHEN YOU DRIVE A CAR WITH THIS DEFECT YOUR CAN AN ACCELERATE, OR DECELERATE, AT ITS OWN WILL. IT DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE COMMANDS THE DRIVER GIVES. IT JUST SUDDENLY SLOWS OR SPEEDS UP AS IT LIKES. IF YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS IT MAY BE HARD TO UNDERSTAND HOW UNSAFE THIS CAN BE. IT IS NOT NAN EXPERIENCE I RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. FORD DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A PROBLEM, BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR AS A RESULT. TRY TOOLING ALONG I-95 AT 65 MILES PER HOUR AND HAVING YOUR CAR SUDDENLY SLOW AND SHUDDER ALMOST TO A STOP...FUN TIMES. THIS DEFECT CREATES AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION THAT 100% UNACCEPTABLE AND YOU REALLY SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEONE, (LIKE ME) GETS KILLED. I AM SURE SOMEONE HAS ALREADY HAD ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

Mileage: 87,000

MY CAR HAS GONE INTO 'LIMP' MODE SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED ME THAT THE ISSUE IS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, AND IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THIS PART HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR SEVERAL OTHER FORD MODEL VEHICLES - BUT NOT THE MUSTANG AND THEY WON'T COVER IT. IT'LL COST ME $570 TO GET THE PART REPLACED IN MY VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING - AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS - INCLUDING GOING 65+ MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V319000 (AIR BAGS) AND 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN) AND STATED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT, VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND WHEN I SHIFTED FROM 1ST TO 2ND THE GEAR SHIFTER GOT HUNG UP AND WOULD NOT SHIFT CAUSING THE CAR TO DOWNSHIFT THROWING ME FOWARD AND HITTING MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL.

Mileage: 21,450

AFTER WAITING AT A LIGHT IN THE LEFT TURN LANE, I STARTED ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, SLOWLY INTO MY LEFT TURN. AT ALMOST COMPLETION OF THE TURN, MY TACHOMETER WENT FROM 3000 RPMS TO OVER 6000 RPMS. THE CAR HAD A SUDDEN JOLT AT THIS MOMENT AND THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP. I WENT INTO A SLIDE AND THE CAR SLID ACROSS 2 LANES INTO A TREE FILLED MEDIAN. THE CAR WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THERE WERE NO FACTORS THAT COULD INFLUENCE SUCH A CRASH, AS THE ROAD WAS DRY, IT HADN'T RAINED. THE ROAD WAS WELL PAVED. FINALLY, SPEED WASN'T A FACTOR IN THE CRASH. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE DOWNSHIFTS IN GEARS, HOWEVER AFTER A RECENT RECALL WE REALIZED WHAT HAD HAPPENED.

WHILE DRIVING CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND SHOWS WRENCH LIGHT AND GOES INTO LIMP MODE. TROUBLE CODES SHOWN P2111 AND P2112. THIS CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME DURING DRIVING AND HAS HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES.

Mileage: 69,000

DURING INITIAL ACCELERATION AFTER A LEFT TURN, SHIFTING FROM 1ST INTO 2ND GEAR, THE VEHICLE SHOOK WILDLY AND VIOLENTLY ROCKED SIDE TO SIDE AND LOST POWER. THIS WAS THE SECOND IDENTICAL OCCURRENCE ON CITY STREETS WHILE ACCELERATING OUT OF LEFT TURNS. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, HAD TO MAKE IMMEDIATE MOVES TO THE RIGHT LANE BEFORE POWER WAS RESTORED. BASED ON OTHER REPORTING AND RESEARCH, IT APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE OF THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS 18,500 MILES AND HAS A MT-82 TRANSMISSION.

Mileage: 18,500

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS SHIFTED INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION, THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT WAS LIFTED AND COLLIDED WITH THE PARKING BRAKE. AS A RESULT, THE PARKING BRAKE WAS DISENGAGED, THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY IN THE FORWARD DIRECTION, AND CRASHED INTO A FENCE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

Mileage: 86,000

WHILE ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AND THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK, THEN THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED INTO 3RD GEAR, AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 3RD GEAR UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED, AND THE ENGINE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ONE WHEN IT OCCURS. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED A RECALL NOTICE BEFORE THEY CAN FIX IT. I'M OUT OF WORK AND DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. RIGHT NOW, WE ARE DRIVING IT AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE.

I HAVE A 2012 MUSTANG GT WITH 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT THE CAR AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CAR AT ABOUT 2,500 MILES. THE CAR AT THAT POINT HAD A DEALER RE-BUILT TRANSMISSION AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT HAS 2ND THROUGH 6TH GEAR REPLACED DUE TO A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. SINCE THAT TIME I'VE HAD MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND THE CAR NOW HAS ABOUT 49,000 MILES. IN EARLY JANUARY, IT BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO 1ST GEAR. IT WAS VERY STIFF AND TOOK A LOT OF FORCE TO GET IT INTO 1ST. SHIFTING TO 2ND GEAR RESULTED IN A GEAR-MASHING SOUND. 3RD GEAR SOUNDED LIKE A LOUD CLUNK. 4TH THROUGH 6TH GEARS WERE FINE. THESE INCIDENTS BECAME WORSE AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE 2 DIFFERENT ACCIDENTS BY NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS IN TRAFFIC. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN THE NORTH ATLANTA, GA AREA AND THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR. THEIR TRANSMISSION TECH BELIEVED IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SYNCHRONIZERS. THE TECH DID NOT BELIEVE HE HAD THE EXPERTISE TO WORK ON THIS ISSUE AND REFERRED ME TO ANOTHER FORD DEALERSHIP. ON 1/14/16 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE 2ND DEALERSHIP AND THEIR TECH AGREED IT WAS THE SYNCHRONIZERS. THAT DEALERSHIP TOOK ABOUT 1 WEEK TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS. AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE ISSUE WAS NOT SOLVED; LOUD SOUNDS WERE COMING OUT OF THE REAR OF THE CAR. OVER THE PAST 2 WEEKS, THEY'VE ORDERED NUMEROUS REPLACEMENT PARTS. AS OF TODAY, 2/9/16, THERE ARE PARTS THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND ARE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THE ETA FOR THE PARTS IS NOW 2/24/16. I'VE READ ABOUT SIMILAR ISSUES OTHER MUSTANG OWNERS WITH THIS SPECIFIC 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION HAVE HAD AND PERSONALLY CAN SAY IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY WARNING FOR THE DRIVER. THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND NEW TRANSMISSIONS INSERTED AS A WHOLE UNIT VS. INSTALLING MULTIPLE PARTS. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE ME TO EXPERIENCE DIMINISHED VALUE AT RESALE.

MY VEHICLE CONSTANTLY GOES INTO LIMP HOME MODE WHILE DRIVING. TURNS OFF ALL CYLINDERS EXCEPT 1 WHICH LET'S YOU DRIVE ABOUT 5MPH. ALSO WHILE MY VEHICLE IS AT IDLE IT BEGINS TO LOOSE PROPER IDLE RPM AND NEARLY STALLS UNTIL REVS BACK TO A HIGHER RPM. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THE ISSUE IS THOUGHT TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY AND THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. CURRENTLY MYMY VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP GOING THROUGH SOME VEHICLE DIAGNOSTICS TO FIGURE OUT THE EXACT PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE VEHICLE WARRANTY AND I AM BEING CHARGED $145.00 FOR THE INITIAL INSPECTION AND THEN CHARGED BY THE HOUR TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I NOT INCLUDING PARTS. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 59,000 MILES ON IT AND IT'S ALREADY FAILING. IT APPEARS THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND FORD HAS YET TO RECALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.

WAS DRIVING AROUND 50MPH ON CITY STREETS WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN CAR LOST POWER AND WENT LIMP. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR WAS MAKING A WEIRD NOISE UNDER THE HOOD LIKE IT WAS STRUGGLING. COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND I HAD TO COAST TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE WITHIN A 8 MONTH TIME PERIOD DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. EACH TIME I TURN THE CAR ON & OFF AGAIN AND IT SEEMS TO RESET. I'VE NOTICED MY CAR HASN'T BEEN GETTING THE SAME CITY MPG AS BEFORE. IVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR 2 YEARS, I'M THE SECOND OWNER AND THIS STARTED AT ROUGHLY 62,000 MILES.

MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 31000 MILES ON IT. I"M THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. 18 DAYS AGO ANTIFREEZE WAS ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. MY MECHANIC COME OVER AND EXPLAINED TO ME THAT MY WATER PUMP HAD GONE BAD. SO I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS STILL WAS UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THEY DIAGNOSED MY CAR AND VERIFIED THAT IT WAS INDEED THE WATER PUMP AND THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER PERSON THAT WAS WAITING AHEAD OF ME FOR THE SAME THING 30 DAYS. I CALLED OTHER DEALERSHIPS AND THEY TOO WERE OUT OF WATER PUMPS. MY CONCERN IS THAT I WILL HAVE TO KEEP BUYING ANTI FREEZE EVERY OTHER DAY AND I CANNOT AFFORD THIS. THIS DEALER SHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A LOANER VEHICLE FOR ME. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. IN ADDITION, THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS DIFFICULT TO SHIFT INTO VARIOUS POSITIONS. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MULTIPLE DEALERS WHO WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

I TOOK MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG (62,000 MILES) TO A FORD DEALER TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED. THEY TALKED ME INTO A TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE, BECAUSE IT WOULD "EXTEND THE LIFE OF MY VEHICLE". WHEN I PICKED IT UP, IT WAS NOT RUNNING RIGHT. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED SOME SENSORS AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. I MADE IT HOME BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START THE NEXT MORNING. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, AFTER THEM ATTEMPTING TO FIX IT 3 TIMES AND IT STILL NOT BEING FIXED, THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND IT STILL MAKING A LOUD NOISE CHANGING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. I SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON SOME 2012 MUSTANGS FOR A POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL.

Mileage: 62,000

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE SHIFTING INTO A HIGHER GEAR AT 7000 - 7500 RPM THE CLUTCH PEDDLE DID NOT RETURN TO THE FULLY ENGAGED POSITION AND THE CLUTCH DID NOT FULLY ENGAGE. AFTER DRIVING 1 OR 2 MILES THE SITUATION CORRECTED ITSELF. MANUAL 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND 5.0L V-8 ENGINE. BOSS 302 MODEL. SEVERAL PHONE CONTACTS WITH FORD AND FORD RACING RESULTED IN THEIR INDICATION OF NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE CLUTCH STICKING PROBLEM. 2 FORD DEALERS I SPOKE TO ALSO CLAIMED TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS SITUATION.

OPEN LEAVING WORK FOR THE DAY MY SECOND GEAR SYNCO IN MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED LEAVING THE PARKING LOT. THEREFORE I NO LONGER HAD 2ND GEAR. SO I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER WHERE THEY WHERE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IN TURNED FIX 2ND GEAR BUT MESSED UP MY REVERSE SYNCO GEAR NOW. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR ALMOST 4 WEEKS AND FORD WONT MAKE A SURPLUS OF PART FOR THIS TRANSMISSION THAT THE PARTS NEEDED ARE ON BACK ORDER UNTIL APRIL 20TH 2015. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY FULL SPEED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, AND ENGINE JUST SHUTS DOWN. WRENCH LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. HAVE TO COAST THROUGH TRAFFIC TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP. RESTART THE CAR A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND THEN IT'S FINE. TOOK TO FORD DEALER, WHO SAID I HAD A BAD THROTTLE BODY. CHARGED OVER $800 TO REPAIR. COMPLETELY LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE! FORD HAS AGREED TO FIX DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODIES ON OTHER MODELS, BUT NOT THE MUSTANG. THIS REALLY LOOKS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM, AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. *TR

ON OCT 30, 2014 I WAS SHIFTING TO 2ND GEAR AND THE ENGINE BUCKED, LOST SPEED, THEN THE "WRENCH" SYMBOL ILLUMINATED, INDICATING THE LIMP HOME MODE ACTIVATED. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED IT AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. I DROVE IT TO AN AUTO SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT DETECT A MALFUNCTION CODE. TODAY, NOV 5, 2014 WHEN LEAVING MY NEIGHBORHOOD, THE SAME LOSS OF SPEED OCCURRED IN 2ND GEAR AND THE WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE BACK TO THE LOCAL AUTO SHOP AND THEY DETERMINED THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE. THE SOLENOID WAS BAD. FORTUNATELY, MY INCIDENTS HAPPENED AT A LOW SPEED. THIS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC AT HIGH SPEED, RUNNING THE RISK OF A HIGH-SPEED, REAR-END COLLISION. *TR

Mileage: 42,750

TODAY WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE AT A INTERSECTION AND SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T LET ME INTO 2ND. NOW IF THIS JUST HAPPENED ONCE I WOULD LET IT GO BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE CONSIDERING IT CAUSES MY CAR TO SLOW WHILE I'M TRYING TO GET INTO GEAR WITH TRAFFIC COMING AT ME. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

I HAD JUST LEFT MY HOUSE AND PULLED OUT ONTO THE ROAD. AS THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR SUDDENLY SHOOK AND SHUDDERED AND WOULDN'T RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. THE WRENCH SYMBOL CAME ON THE DASH. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND WOULDN'T GO OVER 3 OR 4 MILES AN HOUR. I PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS, AS THERE WERE VEHICLES COMING UP BEHIND ME ON THE TWO-LANE ROAD AND THEY HAD TO GO AROUND ME. IT WAS VERY SCARY NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER VEHICLES. THIS WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLE, NO PRIOR WARNING OF ANY ISSUES. PRELIMINARY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT OTHER FORD VEHICLES HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THROTTLE BODY FAILURES, WITH VERY SIMILAR DESCRIPTIONS TO THIS ISSUE WITH MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG.

Mileage: 45,100

2012 FORD MUSTANG THROWS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH GOING INTO "LIMP MODE" (CAR CUTS ALL ACCELERATION, AND JUST IDLES). I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND SHUT VEHICLE OFF. VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL AFTER ONE OR TWO TURN ONS. THIS WILL OCCUR EVERY OTHER DAY, AND MULTIPLE TIMES IN A DAY. VERY DANGEROUS IF IT WAS TO HAPPEN WHILE MERGING IN TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER FORD POWERTRAIN OR EMISSIONS WARRANTY, THEY CLAIM THAT IT IS AN "ATTACHMENT" TO THE ENGINE, NOT A PART OF IT. THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED THEM TO EXTEND THEIR WARRANTIES ON THE FORD ESCAPE AND FUSION, BUT NOT THEIR OTHER VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE QUOTED ME $700 DOLLARS TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE THROTTLEBODY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE, THAT IS LINKED TO MORE THAN JUST THE FORD ESCAPE AND FUSION, AND FORD HAS NOT GIVEN THEIR OTHER VEHICLES OWNER'S THE SAME WARRANTY. *JS

Mileage: 52,000

ACCORDING TO MY FORD DEALERSHIP, THE SYNCHRONIZERS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND BEARS FAILED. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION PREVIOUSLY, CAUSING THE CAR TO FAIL TO SHIFT WHILE ACCELERATING.

MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS STARTING WITH THE VEHICLE IN THE PARK POSITION. ALL OF THE APPROPRIATE LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON, BUT THE CAR WILL NOT CRANK UNTIL I PLACE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THIS HAPPENS WITH THE CAR PARKED ON LEVEL GROUND AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKES APPLIED AND I HAVE VERIFIED THAT THE INDICATOR SHOWS THE P FOR PARK. AFTER, DOING RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT FORD RECALLED SOME 2012/13 MUSTANGS FOR THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR (TRS) WHICH WAS NOT PROPERLY CALIBRATED AFFECTING THE STARTER INTERLOCK PREVENTING THE VEHICLE FROM STARTING UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION IS PLACED IN NEUTRAL. THE RECALL WAS 12C23, NHTSA # 12V190000, MY 2012 MUSTANG WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, BUT I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH AN IMPROPERLY CALIBRATED (TRS). *TR

CAR WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEARS. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO ENTER THE GEAR I DESIRE, CAUSING THE CAR TO SUDDENLY LOOSE MOMENTUM LEAVING ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES CROSSING INTERSECTIONS AND ENTERING THE HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD ONGOING ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT, AND I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE CONFIDENCE THAT IT IS SAFE.

Mileage: 5,447

THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WILL GRIND WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN FIRST IN SECOND GEAR UNTIL THE CAR IS FULLY WARMED UP. SOMETIMES IT LOCKS YOU OUT OF SECOND GEAR WHEN YOU WANT TO SHIFT INTO IT. A FORD DEALERSHIP HAS SAID THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION BUT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. FIRST AND SECOND GEAR DO NOT WORK THE SAME WHEN COLD AND WARM. FIRST AND SECOND GEAR BECOME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT BETWEEN WHEN IT IS BELOW 30 DEGREES OUTSIDE. *TR

AFTER DRIVING FOR A TOTAL OF 6 HOURS WITH 1 STOP AT A REST AREA AFTER THE FIRST 3 HOURS OF DRIVING, I MADE ANOTHER STOP TO REFUEL. AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY AND MADE THE FIRST TURN AT 5-10 MPH, MY VEHICLE MADE A LOUD METALLIC CRANKING NOISE FOLLOWED WITH STRONG VIBRATIONS THROUGHOUT MY CAR. AFTER REFUELING, I RETURNED TO THE FREEWAY. IT SEEMED THAT THE NOISE AND VIBRATION ONLY APPEARS WHEN MAKING LEFT/RIGHT TURN AT LOW SPEED (5-10 MPH) AFTER A CONTINUOUS NON-STOP DRIVING OF AT LEAST 2-3 HOURS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER (JIM WILSON MOTORS) AND THEIR TECHNICIANS ISOLATED THE NOISE AND VIBRATION TO THE REAR AXLE DIFFERENTIAL. *TR

Mileage: 15,776

TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF GEAR AT 1ST AND 4TH GEAR. TRANSMISSION GEARS GRIND AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN SHIFTING INTO GEARS. REQUIRES CLUTCH TO BE PRESSED AT LEAST 1 SECOND TO BE PRESSED AND ADDITIONAL EFFORT IN ORDER TO SHIFT INTO GEAR AFTER GRINDING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE GEARS ARE INTO PLACE. MAKES DRIVING UNCOMFORTABLE AND RAISES SAFETY CONCERNS WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO VERIFY THE ISSUES WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND TOOK 40 DAYS TO COMPLETE REPAIRS. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN DRIVING. CURRENTLY DEALING WITH LEMON LAW CASE AGAINST FORD FOR A REPLACEMENT. FORD REFUSES TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE. THIS IS THE ONE OF 2 DEFECTS WITH MY CAR. THE SECOND ISSUE IS WITH THE REAR AXLE DIFFERENTIAL (ODI: 10556822). THE SECOND ALSO HAS ALSO BEEN VERIFIED BY FORD DEALER AND REPAIR ATTEMPTS WERE MADE. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. RAISES MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS WHILE DRIVING ON HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON THE ROAD SINCE MY CAR IS A RWD AND THE DEFECT IS IN THE REAR AXLE DIFFERENTIAL. *TR

VEHICLE TURNED RIGHT FROM A STOP, ONTO A TEXAS STATE HIGHWAY. SHIFTING MANUALLY FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR, THE VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL (APPARENTLY DUE TO LOSS OF TRACTION BECAUSE THERE WAS A COATING OF FINE SAND ON THE TIRES). THE VEHICLE CROSSED 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC, AND IN DOING SO, WENT INTO A ROLL-OVER, REPORTS STATING THE VEHICLE ROLLED 4 TIMES, AND STRIKING A UTILITY POLL THAT STOPPED THE ROLL. THE UTILITY POLL WAS STRUCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, BY THE WINDSHIELD PILLAR, CAUSING TERRIFIC DAMAGE AND CAVE IN. THE UTILITY POLL WAS BROKEN, ALMOST SNAPPED IN HALF (THE UTILITY POLE WAS REPLACED). WHILE THERE WAS NO PASSENGER OTHER THAN THE DRIVER, THE ONLY AIRBAG IN THE CAR THAT DEPLOYED WAS THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN. THE SEVERITY OF THE CRASH WOULD INDICATE THAT ALL OF THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED, TO SHIELD THE DRIVER AND POTENTIAL PASSENGERS. DRIVER ALSO WENT INTO THE WINDSHIELD, THE STEERING WHEEL BAG NOT DEPLOYING. POTENTIAL BACK SEAT RIDERS SHOULD BE PROTECTED IN SUCH A DEVASTATING CRASH AS WELL. PHOTO EVIDENCE WOULD INDICATE ALL BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER HAD NOT DISENGAGED PASSENGER BAGS (DRIVER/OWNER DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO DISENGAGE PASSENGER BAGS). ON ONE OCCASION A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THE CRASH, AN INFO LIGHT MESSAGE CAME ON FOR A FEW SECONDS WHILE OPERATING THE CAR, STATING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS WERE OFF. I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY. I HAD NOT TURNED THEM OFF. I STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR THE MESSAGE HAD DISAPPEARED. MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE DEGREE MY CAR WAS DESTROYED SHOULD DEPLOY ALL AIRBAGS. *TR

THE FIRST WAS AFTER I PICKED UP MY CAR FROM ITS GARAGE OF SEVERAL WEEKS AT LUNCH AND DROVE BACK TO WORK. I HAD GONE ABOUT TWO BLOCKS FROM MY GARAGE AND WAS BRAKING TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN WHEN THE CAR DOWN SHIFTED AND ACCELERATED BY ITSELF WHILE I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I WAS GOING ABOUT 5 MPH WHEN THIS ALL STARTED. IT LASTED FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS AND THEN THE CAR RELEASED AND STOPPED THE ACCELERATION AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND MAKE MY RIGHT HAND TURN. I CONTINUED ON BACK TO WORK AND COMPLAINED TO MY CO-WORKER ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND HOW I WAS BEGINNING TO BECOME AFRAID OF THE MUSTANG. HE IS MY WITNESS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING BEFORE THE SECOND INCIDENCE OCCURRED. LATER ON I LEFT WORK TO GO HOME AND ON THE WAY HOME IT HAPPENED AGAIN A SECOND TIME ONLY THIS TIME MUCH STRONGER. I WAS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC GOING UNDER INTERSTATE HWY 820 BRIDGE IN FORT WORTH TO GO UNDER THE BRIDGE AFTER GOING THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON EACH SIDE TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN TO GET ON THE WEST BOUND IH820. WELL BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC YOU HAVE TO STOP AT ONE LIGHT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BRIDGE AND THEN AGAIN STOP TO GET THROUGH THE SECOND LIGHT ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BRIDGE TO TURN LEFT. ANYWAY THERE WAS A LARGE SEMI-TRUCK HAULING ROCKS IN FRONT OF ME AND I STAYED BACK ABOUT 60 FEET SO AS NOT TO GET THE ROCKS ON NEW CAR. HE WENT DOWN TO THE OTHER LIGHT WHICH WAS RED AND STOPPED I WAS GOING ABOUT 5 MPH AGAIN AND STARTED TO BRAKE WAY BACK FROM HIM BECAUSE OF THE ROCKS AND THE RED LIGHT. THE CAR AGAIN ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I FOUGHT IT THE WHOLE WAY BUT IT WOULD NOT LET RELEASE TILL 15 FEET FROM TRUCK. I THEN CRASHED.

THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE STARTED WHEN I TRIED TO START IT. WHEN I TURNED THE KEY THE VEHICLE TOOK A FEW SECONDS LONGER THAN USUAL TO START UP. AS I BEGAN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS OUT OF 40MPH AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO HAVE HIGH RPM. WHEN I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AT A GAS STATION AND TRIED TO START IT BACK UP. VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND I HAD TO GET IT JUMPED. VEHICLE STILL DOESN'T SHIFT GEARS. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 1 YEAR AND 1 MONTH OLD SINCE I PURCHASED IT. *TR

I AM HAVING FREQUENT ISSUES WITH SHIFTING ON MY 2012 MUSTANG GT 6-SPD. IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO SHIFT INTO 5TH GEAR AT TIMES. SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND IS NOW PRODUCING A BRIEF GRINDING SOUND WITH EVERY SHIFT. AT TIMES, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ALLOW SHIFTING INTO 4TH ON THE FIRST TRY, AND THIS ALSO OCCURS FROM 4TH TO 5TH AT TIMES. A SECOND SHIFT ATTEMPT USUALLY WORKS BUT THERE IS THE LOSS OF GETTING UP TO SPEED IN EACH CASE. IN ADDITION, THE SKIP-SHIFT FEATURE OFTEN ENGAGES AT TOO LOW AN RPM RANGE CAUSING THE ENGINE TO 'LUG' WITH VERY LITTLE POWER. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT TWICE AS I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, SHIFT (BEING FORCED TO 4TH GEAR FROM 1ST BY THE SKIP SHIFT) AND LOSE POWER. ONCE, THE ENGINE DIED FOLLOWING THE SKIP-SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 4TH, CAUSING A SERIOUS RISK. AFTER HAVING THESE ISSUES WITH THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION, I FOUND MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET FORUMS AND THIS NHTSA SITE AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NO ACTION TO ENCOURAGE FORD TO ADDRESS THIS WELL-KNOWN AND EXTREMELY WELL-DOCUMENTED ISSUE. THIS SITUATION IS GETTING CLOSE TO JUSTIFYING CLASS-ACTION ACTIVITY. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTED INTO 4TH GEAR AND POPPED OUT OF GEAR APPROXIMATELY 2 SECONDS AFTER RELEASING THE CLUTCH PEDAL. (THIS HAPPENED ONCE) THE SHIFT FROM 1ST TO SECOND HAS NOT BEEN 100% RELIABLE, IT HAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS NOT BEEN GOING INTO 2ND GEAR UNLESS I RAPIDLY MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER VERY SLIGHTLY SIDE TO SIDE TO FIND THE GEAR. THIS IS NOT A 1ST TO 4TH (FUEL ECONOMY) SHIFT ISSUE. I READ AND EXPERIENCED THIS ENOUGH TIMES TO KNOW THAT THE VEHICLE SUGGESTS? THIS AT A LOW ACCELERATOR INPUT. I AM REFERRING TO KNOWING ABOUT THIS AND ACCELERATING ENOUGH IN 1ST GEAR AS TO NOT SEE THE DASH PROMPT FOR 1ST TO 4TH! ALTHOUGH YOU ARE ASSUMING THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU CALL A TRANSMISSION THAT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO A GEAR ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE TIME! YOU MAY ALSO ASSUME DRIVER ERROR FOR ONE OR MAYBE MORE OCCASIONS BUT NOT THE SAME ISSUE ON THE SAME CAR AFTER HAVING IT HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES AND CONSCIOUSLY TRYING TO AVOID IT ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN. ALTHOUGH SEVERAL OCCASIONS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT INTO 2ND OUT OF 100 SEEM LOW, WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIME? I AM SURE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY DRIVER WITH YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN MANUAL TRANSMISSION CARS TO START A REPORT.

IT HAD JUST STARTED TO RAIN WHICH WAS A FACTOR IN THIS AS THE ROAD WAS SLICKER THAN NORMAL, BUT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BEEN REPORTED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP THIS PAST WEEK. THEY WERE TOO BUSY TO CHECK THE CAR WHEN REPORTED AND IRONICALLY, THE CAR WAS SUPPOSE TO BE LOOKED AT IN THE MORNING. WE HAD REPORTED TO FORD AN ISSUE WITH SHIFTING INTO 5TH GEAR. THEY TOLD US THERE WAS AN COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL. ALL AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND LUCKILY THERE WERE NO DEATHS. THIS IS NOT A CASE OF CARELESS DRIVING. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE CARS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THERE WAS ALSO AN EYEWITNESS THAT REPORTED TO LAW ENFORCEMENT THERE WAS NO WRECKLESS DRIVING.

I PUMPED THE CLUTCH SEVERAL TIMES TO GET ANY KIND OF PEDAL PRESSURE BACK. THIS HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME AND I DID THE SAME THING THE GET PRESSURE BACK. ON 6 DEC WAS THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT IN TO A FORD SERVICE DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. BUT BEFORE I GOT TO THE DEALER, I STARTED TO NOTICE A LOT OF NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE NOISE SOUNDED LIKE A WHINE. THEN NOISES ALSO CAME FROM THE REAR BRAKES I STARTED TO HEAR A LOT OF NOISE FROM THEM, LIKE THEY WERE STILL TOUCHING THE ROTORS. WHEN I GOT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP I TOLD THEM ABOUT ALL THE ISSUES I WAS HAVING AND LEFT THE CAR WITH THEM. LATER THAT EVENING THE SERVICE CENTER SAID THE CAR WAS DONE. WHEN I PICKED IT UP THE SAME ISSUES WERE HAPPENING WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE BRAKES. I RETURNED TO THE FORD SERVICE CENTER AND DROPPED OFF THE CAR AGAIN THE NEXT DAY. THE SERVICE CENTER KEEPS ON SAYING THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH ARE FINE, EVERYTHING IS NORMAL AND THERE ARE NO OTHER REPORTED ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM ON THE TRANSMISSION. ON THE BRAKES, THE SERVICE CENTER DID FIND THAT BOTH REAR PADS HAD BROKEN GUIDES ON THEM AND THEY WERE ALLOWING THE PAD TO MOVE AROUND IN THE CALIPER. THE SERVICE CENTER FIXED THE BRAKE ISSUE AND I HAVEN'T HAD ANYMORE ISSUES WITH THAT. NOW ON 10 DEC, I LEFT MY HOUSE AND WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN SIXTH GEAR AND IT WONT GO IN, THE GEAR WILL JUST GRIND. I PULLED OVER AND WENT THROUGH ALL THE GEARS AND SIXTH GEAR WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND SERVICE CENTER AND HAVE YET TO HEAR ANYTHING BACK FROM THEM. *TR

PROBLEM: ABNORMAL VIBRATION/NOISE IN STICK SHIFT/DRIVER SEAT DURING DECELERATION: 2012 MUSTANG V6 BASE MODEL (NO ADD ON'S) MANUAL 6 SPEED. PURCHASED NEW. HAD CONTROL ARMS REPLACE WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP DUE TO CREAKING FRONT END (392 MILES ON THE CAR).APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AFTER CONTROL ARMS WERE REPLACED I NOTICED VIBRATIONS IN SHIFTER AND DRIVER SEAT AS WELL AS RUMBLING NOISES WHEN ON HIGHWAY DURING DECELERATION. SOUNDED AND FELT LIKE WHEN YOU RIDE OVER A ROUGH PATCH OF PAVEMENT OR A METAL GRATED BRIDGE. PROBLEM CONTINUED OFF AND ON AND I COULD NOT DUPLICATE. I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. WHAT I DISCOVERED WAS WHEN I RAN THE CAR UP TO 2750-3000 RPMS THEN LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR I COULD FEEL AN ABNORMAL VIBRATION AND HEAR THE CAR RUMBLING. THE VIBRATION/NOISE WOULD STOP AS THE CAR DECELERATED TO ABOUT 2500-2000 RPM'S. SEVERITY OF VIBRATION/RUMBLING NOISE HAS RANGED FROM MILD VIBRATION/NOISE TO STICK SLAPPING BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY AND VERY LOUD RUMBLING. CAR DOES THIS IN 1ST, 2ND, 3RD AND 4TH GEAR.

MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG V6 WITH PREMIUM PACKAGE HAS A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I CAN'T GET THE VEHICLE INTO SOME GEARS. I HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM TO HAPPEN WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THE SHIFTER DOES NOT GO SMOOTHLY INTO 1ST OR REVERSE GEAR WHEN PRESSING THE CLUTCH PEDAL. I HAVE TO PRESS THE CLUTCH REPEATEDLY AND PLAY WITH THE SHIFTER TO GET IT INTO 1ST AND 2ND GEAR WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. IN ADDITION, I HAVE HAD DIFFICULTY CHANGING GEARS WHEN TRAVELING MORE THAN 25 MPH. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT LET ME GO INTO 3RD OR 4TH GEAR WITHOUT HAVING ME PUT IT INTO 5TH OR 6TH GEAR WHILE PRESSING THE CLUTCH PEDAL. I HAD A 20 YEAR OLD ACURA INTEGRA THAT NEVER GAVE ME A PROBLEM AND IT HAD A 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION WITH WORN OUT SYNCHROS. MY VEHICLE IS FAIRLY NEW AND I NEVER EXPECTED TO HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH A CAR THIS NEW. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY DURING EMERGENCY SITUATIONS WHERE I MAY HAVE TO DOWNSHIFT TO GAIN MORE ACCELERATION IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING SOMETHING OR GETTING ME OUT OF A DANGEROUS SITUATION. LUCKILY I HAVE NOT BEEN IN A POSITION WHERE I HAVE TO DOWNSHIFT QUICKLY AS I WILL BE PUT IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND CAN SERIOUSLY INJURE MYSELF OR SOMEONE AND MAYBE EVEN BE KILLED.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A SHIFTER THAT WILL NOT RETAIN ITS POSITION AND I BELIEVE IT IS RELATED TO THE SKIP SHIFT FEATURE IMPLEMENTED FOR FUEL ECONOMY. COMMONLY IT TRIES TO FORCE THE SHIFTER FROM 1ST TO 4TH. AS A RESULT THE DRIVER ENDS UP FIGHTING THE STICK SHIFT TO GET TO 2ND. THIS OFTEN RESULTS IN REDUCTION IN SPEED AND A LOSS OF REAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND INCREASES THE RISK OF BEING STRUCK FROM BEHIND. IN VIRTUALLY EVERY GEAR AT SOME POINT I HAVE LOST THE ABILITY TO DOWN SHIFT OR UP SHIFT CREATING A DRIVING SCENARIO OF REAL DANGER AND POTENTIAL OF BEING STRUCK BY OTHER MOTORISTS. I WOULD SAY THAT EVERY DAY I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR SOMETHING REGARDING THE SHIFTING HAS GONE WRONG. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A WIDE VARIETY OF MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS FOR MORE THAN 4 DECADES AND THIS ONE IS GROSSLY DEFECTIVE. IN A SERIES OF CONTACTS WITH FORD CSC I HAVE RECEIVED ADVICE ON HOW TO CORRECT THIS THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL PROBLEM. ORIGINALLY THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT I SHOULD CONTACT CSC SO THAT THEY COULD AUTHORIZE THE DEALER TO DISABLE THE SLIP SHIFT FEATURE. HOWEVER THE CSC AT FORD SAID TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND HENCE THE CAT CHASING ITS TAIL BEGAN. THIS SHIFTER, FIRST USED IN THE 2011 VERSION IS GOING TO CAUSE A SERIOUS INJURY AT SOME POINT IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED BY THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES DELEGATED WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CORRECTING THIS. IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS AND THAT FORD IS DOING NOTHING TO CORRECT IT. PLEASE TAKE UP THIS CAUSE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. *TR

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT TO ACTUALLY SHIFT GEARS. THERE CAN BE A LOT OF RESISTANCE AND ARE TIMES WHEN I HAVE TO FORCE THE CAR INTO GEAR OR SKIP THE GEAR COMPLETELY. THE TRANSMISSION IS GRINDING AND RESISTING CHANGING GEARS. ALSO, THERE IS A VIBRATION WHEN I LET OFF OF THE GAS WHILE THE CAR IS STILL IN GEAR. AND TODAY I FELT A GRINDING WHILE I HAD THE CLUTCH COMPLETELY DEPRESSED. THIS VIBRATION CAN AND DOES OCCUR UP TO 25 TIMES EACH DAY DURING MY 40 MILE COMMUTE. I HAVE STOPPED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND INQUIRED ABOUT ANY KNOW ISSUES AND WAS TOLD THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY. THE CAR HAS EXACTLY 5000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE OWNED MANY OTHER CARS WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, SUCH AS TWO HONDA ACCORDS AND 2 TOYOTA CELICA'S. THESE TRANSMISSION ISSUES ARE OF GREAT CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY, THE SAFETY OF MY WIFE AND THE SAFETY OF OUR 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. DEALING WITH A SCREAMING CHILD IS VERY UNPLEASANT BUT EVERY PARENT BECOMES ACCUSTOM TOO (EVEN THOUGHT WE DON,T LIKE IT).

I HAVE THE MT-82 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN MY 2012 V6 MUSTANG. IT IS VERY HARD TO SHIFT INTO 1ST AND 2ND GEARS REGARDLESS OF AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. I HAVE DRIVEN MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS SINCE I WAS LICENCED 15 YRS AGO, I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS KIND OF HARD & GRINDING SHIFTING FROM A NEW/NEWER VEHICLE. IT'S LIKE SHIFTING A 50 YEAR OLD FARM TRACTOR! I HAVE TO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR FROM A STOP EVEN WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO THE FLOOR; SOMETIMES REQUIRING A "DOUBLE CLUTCH" JUST TO GET IT INTO 1ST GEAR. THIS EXTRA EFFORT TO GET INTO 1ST GEAR FROM A STOP TAKES MY ATTENTION AND EYES OFF THE ROAD AND I HAVE EVEN ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE FIGHTING THE TRANSMISSION. THEN, ONCE MOVING I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM GETTING INTO 2ND GEAR; AGAIN CAUSING ME TO DIVERT ALMOST ALL OF MY ATTENTION AND EYE SIGHT FROM THE ROAD TO INSIDE THE CAR GETTING INTO 2ND GEAR. MOST SHIFTING INTO 1ST & 2ND GEARS ARE ACCOMPANIED BY METAL GRINDING THAT I CAN FEEL AND HEAR. THE SHIFTER HAS POPPED OUT OF 2ND GEAR A FEW TIMES CAUSING THE ENGINE TO RED-LINE WHILE GETTING ON THE FREEWAY. ALSO, I HAVE ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS WHILE TURNING LEFT AT INTERSECTIONS FIGHTING THE TRANSMISSION INTO 2ND GEAR. I HAVE ONLY EXPERIENCED THIS SHIFTING PROBLEM IN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS; 3RD, 4TH, 5TH, AND 6TH SHIFT VERY SMOOTH FOR MY VEHICLE. THERE IS ALSO A VIBRATION WHILE DECELERATING IN 2ND AND 3RD GEARS.

SOMEONE DRIVING A CRAPPY TITAN ALMOST REAR ENDED ME BECAUSE OF THAT. THIS MT82 TRANSMISSION IS TOTAL JUNK, I WISH I BOUGHT A AUTOMATIC LIKE 2006FAN. I RATHER LET PEOPLE LAUGH AT ME FOR DRIVING AUTOMATIC THAN THIS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *KB

VEHICLE RECENTLY TAKEN TO FORD DEALER FOR THE FOLLOWING COMPLAINTS.... COMPLAINTS: 1.) THERE IS ALWAYS A SENSATION OF "CRUNCHING" WHEN UP-SHIFTING OR DOWN-SHIFTING INTO 1ST, 2ND & 3RD GEARS. SOMETIMES IT'S REALLY BAD, SOMETIMES NOT SO BAD. 2.) IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO UP-SHIFT OR DOWN-SHIFT INTO 1ST, 2ND & 3RD GEARS. THIS IS MOST COMMON GOING INTO 2ND GEAR. 3.) ON OCCASION, IT IS TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO UP-SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. THIS IS NOT UNDER A "SKIP-SHIFT" SITUATION (ENGINE RPM GREATER THAN 3000). 4.) OCCASIONALLY THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT "CLUNK" WHICH CAN BE HEARD & FELT IN THE CABIN, MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN ENGAGING/DISENGAGING THE CLUTCH AT A STEADY, LOW ENGINE RPM. NOTES: A.) NONE OF THE ITEMS ARE MORE OR LESS EVIDENT IF CAR IS "COLD" OR "WARMED UP". B.) ALL CONCERNS ABOVE HAVE BEEN NOTED SINCE ~500 MILES. C.) ALL ITEMS SEEM TO BE GETTING MORE PROMINENT AS MILES INCREASE. D.) VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEN AGGRESSIVELY - ALL CONCERNS OCCUR AT 3,500 RPM OR LESS. E.) I HAVE OWNED & DRIVEN MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES CONTINUOUSLY FOR 45 YEARS. DEALER INSPECTION RESULTS OF 10/03/2011: NO PROBLEMS NOTED. *TR

MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION 2012 FORD MUSTANG WAS INITIALLY AT A STANDSTILL AT THE STOP LIGHT AT A FOUR WAY INTERSECTION. AS I PREPARED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, I EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY SHIFTING INTO FIRST GEAR--THE TRANSMISSION DID, HOWEVER, SHIFT INTO FIRST. I ACCELERATED TO MAKE THE TURN, AND HALFWAY THROUGH THE TURN I LOST POWER (APPROXIMATE SPEED WAS 15 MPH)--THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED OUT OF FIRST GEAR BACK INTO NEUTRAL. IT WAS AS THOUGH IT HAD ONLY PARTIALLY ENGAGED THE GEAR WHEN I INITIALLY SHIFTED INTO FIRST. A NEAR COLLISION ENSUED, AS THERE WAS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I ORIGINALLY HAD ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE THE TURN, BUT THE LOSS OF POWER CAUSED ME TO COME TO A NEAR STOP IN THE INTERSECTION. I ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT BACK INTO FIRST, BUT THE SHIFT WAS IMPOSSIBLE (THE TRANSMISSION SIMPLY WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO FIRST), SO I SHIFTED INTO SECOND GEAR AND GAVE IT AS MUCH GAS AS POSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. *TR

I ALSO HAVE HORRIBLE GEAR WHILE/NOISE, AND GRINDING SHIFTS ALMOST ALL THE TIME. FORD HAS REBUILT MY TRANSMISSION, BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ELSE WITH THE CAR.

THE TRANSMISSION IS ALSO DIFFICULT TO SHIFT INTO FIRST AND SECOND AT TIMES BUT THE MAIN CAUSE FOR WRITING THIS COMPLAINT IS THE GRINDING IN 5TH AND 6TH GEAR NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY TO BE EASY AND GO SLOW WITH SHIFTING IN THE MORNINGS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS COOLER.

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

I BOUGHT A 2012 MUSTANG GT PREMIUM IN APRIL. STARTING AT ABOUT 2000 MILES, MY CAR HAS HAD A LARGE "THUNK" WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, OCCASIONALLY CAUSING A "LOCK-OUT." USUALLY, THIS LOCKOUT OCCURS AT LOW SPEEDS (I.E. UNDER 15 MPH) OR OCCASIONALLY WILL OCCUR WHEN STOPPED THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP A TOTAL OF 3+ TIMES, WITH THE FIRST ACTION BEING A REPLACEMENT OF THE FLUID PER THE TSB. WHILE THIS IMPROVED THE ISSUE, IT DID NOT RESOLVE IT. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS DROPPED OFF, ONE OF THE SERVICE CONSULTANTS RECOGNIZED THE ISSUE. I REMOVED THE CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP SINCE I WAS GOING ON A LONG VACATION WITH THE CAR. AFTER DROPPING IT OFF THE THIRD TIME, THE ISSUE WAS RECOGNIZED AGAIN (AFTER MUCH DELAY). THE DEALERSHIP TESTED ANOTHER CAR OF SIMILAR MILES, WHICH WAS "NOTCHY" BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT OF MY OWN VEHICLE. REGARDLESS, IT WAS NOT FOUND TO BE "EXCESSIVE." I ESCALATED MY CLAIM THROUGH A FORD SERVICE REP WHO SUBSEQUENTLY CALLED AND EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS NOT "EXCESSIVE" ENOUGH AND THAT THE DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM TO THE EXTENT I EXPERIENCE. I PROCEEDED TO REQUEST A TEST DRIVE WITH THE OTHER VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE SIMILAR FEEL, BUT NONE OF THE NOISE OR "LOCK-OUT." I AGREED TO DRIVE ANOTHER COLLECTION OF MILES, BUT THE LOCK-OUT IS STILL PRESENT AT REGULAR INTERVALS, LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS A SYSTEMATIC SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE UNLESS THE TRANSMISSION HAS REACHED FULL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. IF YOU DON'T LEAVE IT IN REVERSE OVERNIGHT, YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE CAR TO REACH THAT TEMPERATURE TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. IT IS ALSO EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SHIFT INTO 1ST, 2ND OR 3RD GEAR UNTIL THE CAR HAS WARMED UP FOR 5-10 MINUTES. THIS MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS TO TURN/MERGE INTO TRAFFIC IF YOU HAVEN'T ALLOWED THE CAR TO REACH FULL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION ONCE THE CAR IS FULLY WARMED UP. *TR

I HAVE A 2012 MUSTANG WITH THE GETRAG MT82 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION WITH THE KNOW ISSUE OF NOTCHY SHIFTING AND SOMETIMES NOT GOING INTO GEAR. MORE THAN ONCE WHILE MAKING A TURN I FOUND MYSELF GOING TO SLOW FOR SECOND GEAR AND WHEN TRYING TO GO TO FIRST GEAR I AM LOCKED OUT. SO I AM FORCED TO EITHER UNEXPECTEDLY SLOW DOWN TO A NEAR STOP TO GO INTO FIRST WHICH COULD LEAD TO A ACCIDENT, OR GO TO SECOND AND HOPE I DON'T STALL. THIS IS A PROBLEM I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED IN ANY OTHER MANUAL CAR I HAVE DRIVEN (2007 HONDA CIVIC, AND 2009 FORD MUSTANG). *TR

JUNE, 2012 (2012 NOT A DROPDOWN OPTION). I CURRENTLY OWN A 2012 MUSTANG RTR, THIS WAS PURCHASED THIS YEAR IN JUNE WITH 300 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT ENGAGEMENT PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION WITH GEARS 1-3 EITHER UPSHIFTING OR DOWNSHIFTING PRETTY MUCH OUT OF THE GATE. WHAT HAPPENS IS THE GEARS FAIL TO COMPLETELY SYNCHRONIZE WITH THE CLUTCH IN, RESULTING IN ANYTHING FROM A PARTIAL LOCK-IN, WHICH CAUSES THE GEARS TO GRIND, OR A COMPLETE FAILURE TO ENGAGE, WHICH REQUIRES A SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND REPEATED CLUTCHING TO GET A SYNCHRONIZATION TO OCCUR. CURRENTLY THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 1500 MILES AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES ON A COMPLETELY RANDOM BASIS. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AS NOTHING I DO BEHIND THE WHEEL CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN AT WILL AND IT WASN'T UNTIL I WAS RECENTLY INFORMED ABOUT THE NHTSA'S ONGOING COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE THAT I THOUGHT I SHOULD VOICE MY ISSUES AS WELL. WHILE THESE OCCURRENCES HAVE MAINLY BEEN CENTERED AROUND THE 2011 MODEL YEAR AND HAVE NOT YET RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT, I DO NOT WISH MY MODEL YEAR CAR TO EXPERIENCE A CATASTROPHIC DRIVETRAIN FAILURE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL. *TR

I OWN A 2012 MUSTANG, PURCHASED 06/13/11 .I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS AND HAVE EXPERIENCED MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CARE ON THE SECOND WEEK I BOUGHT THE CAR, IT STAYED ON FOR A DAY THEN WENT AWAY , I FIGURED IT WAY BAD GAS, BUT I MAY HAVE BEEN WRONG. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN VERY NOTCHY WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. NORMALLY THIS NOTCHYNESS GOES AWAY WHEN THE CAR IS WARMED UP , I TRY TO BABY IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE IN FEAR OF DAMAGING THE TRANSMISSION. ON TWO OCCASIONS, WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION POP OUT OF SECOND GEAR, THIS WAS UNDER SLOW ACCELERATION. LUCKILY THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED IN MY WORK PARKING LOT AND NOT WHEN MERGING ONTO TRAFFIC OR PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY , ETC.. WHERE IT COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE A CONCERN WITH THE CLUTCH IS VERY NOISY AND ROUGH WHEN ENGAGING/DISENGAGING , IT FEELS AS IF SOMETHING IS LOOSE OR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS NOISE WORRIES ME, AS I DON'T RECALL HEARING/FEELING IT ON THE CARS I TEST DROVE BEFORE THIS PURCHASE. THIS NEXT ISSUE IS AN ODD PROBLEM BUT A PROBLEM NON THE LESS, I HAVE HAD MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS TURN BY THEMSELVES WHEN I ADJUST MY AC/HEAT SETTINGS, THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SINCE PURCHASE AND IS ANNOYING. THE MOST RECENT PROBLEM HAPPENED LAST SUNDAY WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY IN 5TH GEAR, I WENT TO ACCELERATE BUT THE CAR DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE, THE RPMS INCREASED HOWEVER THE CAR DID NOT MOVE FASTER.. IT SEEMED TO NOT HAVE POWER AFTER 3K RMPS . I SHIFTED INTO 4TH AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE, SAME THING, NO POWER.

I OWN A 2012 MUSTANG GT WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAS EXHIBITED VERY ROUGH SHIFTING ABOUT A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE. ADDITIONALLY THE CLUTCH AND DRIVETRAIN ARE VERY NOISY - LOT'S OF CLANGS AND SEEMINGLY LOOSE PARTS. THE CAR WILL POP OUT OF GEAR OCCASIONALLY WHEN IN 1ST. SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND IS SOMETIMES SMOOTH, SOMETIMES VERY ROUGH AND SOMETIMES GRINDS. ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT INTO 2ND WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN SEEMS TO MAKE ROUGH SHIFTING WORSE. I WAS AT A LIGHT MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A FOUR LANE ROAD. I WAS IN THE LEFT HAND LAND WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER TO MY RIGHT. THE LIGHT CHANGED AND WE BOTH STARTED MOVING. I TRIED TO SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND WAS NOT ABLE TO ENGAGE THE GEAR AND LOST SPEED. THE TRACTOR TRAILER HOWEVER CONTINUED WITH THE TURN AND HAD TO SLAM ON HIS BREAKS TO AVOID SIDE SWIPING MY CAR. IF THE DRIVER HADN'T REACTED, HE WOULD HAVE HIT THE CAR. IF I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT AND HAD BEEN HIT THEY COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR WORSE. THIS CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH SKIP SHIFT TECHNOLOGY HOWEVER THE DASHBOARD MESSAGE THAT LIGHTS WHEN IT IS ACTIVE DID NOT LIGHT. THIS CAR HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH SEEMS TO BE GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER WAS FOR THE NOISY CLUTCH/TRANS - THEY FELT IT WAS "LOUDER THAN NORMAL" AND AFTER DISCUSSING WITH THEM THEY FELT IT WOULD NOT BREAK DOWN. WITH THIS MOST RECENT ISSUE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR AND A NEAR-MISS ACCIDENT, I'M SCHEDULING THE CAR TO BE SERVICED. THIS IS IN MY OPINION PRIMARILY A MAJOR SAFETY FLAW AND SECONDLY A RED FLAG FOR DURABILITY FOR THE LIFE OF THIS DRIVETRAIN. A TRANSMISSION THAT IS GRINDING GEARS / GETTING LOCKED OUT OF GEARS AFTER A COUPLE OF HUNDRED MILES CAN'T LAST FOR WHAT YOU WOULD NORMALLY EXPECT A TRANSMISSION TO LAST FOR. OVER THE LIFE OF THE CAR, HOW MANY MORE SITUATIONS WHERE YOU NEED TO MANEUVER THE CAR TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT WILL ARISE. HOW MANY OF THOSE TIMES WILL THE TRANSMISSION NOT RESPOND? *TT

BRAND NEW 2012 FORD MUSTANG BOSS 302, 5.0L, MT82 6-SPD TRANSMISSION. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THIS CAR HAS A REVISED CLUTCH MECHANISM VS. THE 2011 MODEL YEAR. REGARDLESS, I'VE BEGUN TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUES 2011 MODEL YEAR OWNERS REPORT. I'VE OWNED THE CAR LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AND WITH LESS THAN 200 MILES ON THE CAR AT A STOP LIGHT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ENGAGE INTO FIRST GEAR FULLY. THIS RESULTS IN A GRINDING COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. NEARLY REAR ENDED, VEHICLE WAS AT A LIGHT AT THE END OF A FREEWAY RAMP AND WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE UNTIL THE CAR WAS PLACED INTO NEUTRAL AND RE-SHIFTED TO 1ST. 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 3RD SHIFTS TEND TO BE HARD, ROUGH OR CLUNKY. ON OCCASION SHIFTS TO 5TH EXHIBIT A CLUNKY SENSATION AS WELL. AT 295 MILES WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR, YOU COULD HEAR THE SYNCHROS WINDING UP IN THE TRANSMISSION DURING THE ATTEMPT. LIKEWISE MOVING BACK TO FIRST, EVEN AT SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 5MPH IN THIS INSTANCE, RESULTED IN A ROUGH ENGAGEMENT AND SYNCHRO WHINE FROM THE TRANNY. DRIVING IN 2ND GEAR AT 20MPH AND PUSHING THE CLUTCH IN TO COAST RESULTS IN A RATTLING NOISE INTERMITTENTLY. THIS RATTLING JUST STARTED WITHIN THE LAST 50 MILES OF DRIVING. THE BUILD DATE ON THE VEHICLE WAS 3/31/2011. I'VE NOT YET REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO MY FORD DEALER BUT INTEND TO SHORTLY! VERY VERY WORRIED AT OVER $42,000 THIS IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE VEHICLE I'VE EVER PURCHASED AND AM GRAVELY CONCERNED I MAY HAVE A LEMON ON MY HANDS.

I WON'T ENTERTAIN HAVING MY SPECIAL EDITION VEHICLE DAMAGED DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. LIKEWISE I UNDERSTAND THE FIX OFFERED TO 2011 OWNERS ONLY MAKES MATTERS WORSE, I REFUSE TO TRY ANYTHING THAT WILL WORSEN THE CURRENT SITUATION.

I AM UNSURE IF THIS HOLDS TRUE FOR ALL THE GEARS AS MY CAR IS STILL FAIRLY NEW AND IN BREAK-IN AND I HAVEN'T TAKEN ANY GEAR PAST 5K RPM. THAT SAID, THE PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE GOES LIKE THIS, "TAKE FIRST GEAR PAST 3K RPM, SHIFT TO SECOND, CAR BUCKS, RPMS FALL, SECOND IS THEN ENGAGED, CAR LURCHES/LUNGES FORWARD AFTER THE CLUTCH "CATCHES" AND THEN IT LAUNCHES ONE FORWARD UNPREDICTABLY." THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME EVERY TIME I HAVE SHIFTED THE CAR INTO SECOND GEAR AFTER TAKING FIRST GEAR PAST 3K RPM. *TR
