2012 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

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.

Granddaughter driving to work this morning when car lost throttle response.was on the highway in traffic, had to maneuver to the side of the road and turn car off, then wait awhile and restart.made it to work without any more occurrences yet.car not scanned for codes yet.yes the wrench came on but went off after restart.

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.

SAME AS EVERYONE I KNOW HIGH REV LOCKOUT, CAN'T SHIFT PAST 7KRPMS CLUTCH PEDAL STICKS TO THE FLOOR. GEARS ARE ROUGH TO GET INTO NORMAL. WILL HEAR LOUD CLUNKING WHEN CHANGING GEARS SOMETIMES. CAR HAS 35K MILES I BOUGHT IT WITH 17K MILES AND THE ISSUE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED THIS COULD CAUSE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND ACCIDENTS IF IT FAILS ON HIGHWAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE GEAR SHIFTER SLIPPED INTO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WORKED AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT CALLED GOSCH FORD TEMECULA (26895 YNEZ RD, TEMECULA, CA 92591, (951) 699-1302) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO PRODUCE POWER AND THE FIRST GEAR HAD CEASED. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE WAS SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

I WAS DRIVING AND PULLED OVER BECAUSE MY BACK WAS BEING BURNED. MY DRIVER'S SEAT CAUGHT FIRE DUE TO HEATED SEATS MALFUNCTION. FORTUNATELY SMOTHERING THE FIRE DIDN'T REQUIRE HELP FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. I CALLED MARCOTTE FORD. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $85.00 JUST TO LOOK AT IT. I CALLED THE FORD CORPORATION. FORD REFUSES TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY. THE LEAST THEY COULD DO, IS DISABLE THE BUTTON SO THERE ISN'T RISK OF STARTING ANOTHER FIRE.*DT CONSUMER STATED SEAT COILS SHORT CIRCUITED AND THE DAMAGE IS INSIDE AND OUT. CONSUMER PAID OVER $300.00 FOR AFTER MARKET SOLUTION.*JB

THE PAINT ON THE HOOD STARTING AT THE SEAM ON THE UNDERSIDE STARTED BUBBLING LIKE IT WAS RUSTING UNDERNEATH AND HAS SPREAD UP & AROUND ON THE TOP OF THE HOOD. THE PAINT IS NOW STARTING TO CRACK AND FALL OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP COLLISION CENTER AND TO AN INDEPENDENT COLLISION CENTER AND BOTH ADVISED THE HOOD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND PAINTED. BOTH ADVISED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND APPEARS TO BE SOME TYPE OF CONTAMINATION THAT OCCURS WHEN THE SEAM IS SEALED. THE QUOTES FOR THIS REPAIR ARE FOR $3400 & $3300. WHILE A 2012, OUR MUSTANG HAS BEEN KEPT UNDER A COVER AND ONLY HAS 24,000 MILES ON IT.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SHIFTS DOWN INTO FIRST GEAR ON ITS OWN WHILE THE DASH GOES BLANK AND THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING. IT WILL ALSO SHOW A WRENCH LIGHT AT TIMES.

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.
