2011 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION HANGS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST - 2ND OR 2ND - 3RD UNDER ACCELERATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT BEGAN TO HAPPEN SOON AFTER PURCHASE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY HAZARDOUS ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOPPED POSITION. BARELY AVOIDED BEING REAR ENDED DUE TO LOSS OF FORWARD MOMENTUM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD DIRECT THE VEHICLE SHARPLY TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIRES WERE STICKING TO THE ROAD WHEN THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED, RESULTING IN A SHARP CHANGE OF DIRECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,800 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,600. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY UPSHIFTING GEARS 2 TO 3 AND 3 TO 4 AND I AM AT TIMES UNABLE TO DOWNSHIFT WHICH HAS CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER VEHICLES AND IT'S DISTRACTION TO ME DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN MY MUSTANG TO WINTER HAVEN FORD DEALER AND DESCRIBED IN DETAIL THE ISSUES I AM HAVING, THEY SAID THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH MY TRANSMISSION, I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL OTHER MUSTANGS WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND HAVE NEVER HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS. I HAVE ASKED OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2011 MUSTANGS AND EVERYBODY SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT

IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS THE CAR SEEMS TO LOWER IT'S RPMS BY ITSELF ALMOST TO THE POINT OF IT FEELING LIKE IT IS BRAKING WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM ME. THIS HAPPENS PRETTY MUCH AT ANY SPEED. ALSO THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WHEN SLOWING/STOPPING AND ACCELERATING. WHEN I START SLOWING DOWN AND THEN HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS THE CAR JOLTS LIKE IT GOES FROM 1ST GEAR TO 4TH GEAR INSTANTLY. THIS IS NOT A GOOD FEELING AT ALL AND KIND OF SCARY. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO TAKE OFF WITHOUT ME. HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE AND AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 1500 MILES. *TR

HEADING UP A HILL AND HEARD A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. CAR STOPPED IN PLACE AND WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS. TRIED PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE AND WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. ALSO TRIED PUTTING IN NEUTRAL AND IT STILL WOULD NOT MOVE. HAD CAR TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHECKED THE CAR OUT AND STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION "GRENADED" AS IT STATED ON THE WORK ORDER. I GOT TO SEE WHAT THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED LIKE. IT HAD PIECES OF METAL EVERYWHERE AND THE LONG BEARINGS WERE ALL SHATTERED INTO PIECES. A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS ORDERED AND PLACED IN THE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD MUSTANG GT. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION AND WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST INTO SECOND GEAR A ROUGHNESS IN THE RESPONSE OCCURRED WITH AN UNUSUAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THE TRANSMISSION OPERATED PROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75.

OWNER OF A 2011 MUSTANG GT WITH 6 SPD MANUAL TRANSMISSION. HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ROUGH SHIFTING SINCE 2000 MILES. HAVE TAKEN IT INTO FORD DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES SO FAR. ONE TIME MY TRANSMISSION ACTUALLY STARTED LEAKING AND FORD WAS ABLE TO FIX THE LEAK BUT NOT THE SHIFTING. ROUGH SHIFTING OCCURS IN 1ST-2ND-3RD GEAR. SOMETIMES I GET STUCK AT LIGHTS TRYING TO FORCE IT INTO FIRST GEAR. FORD HAS HAD TECH'S DRIVE IT MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY TELL ME ITS NORMAL, THAT'S AS FAR AS THE INVESTIGATION HAS GONE. I HAVE 10,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE SHIFTING IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. TAKING IT INTO A NEW FORD DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY WILL BE MORE HELPFUL IN FINDING OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND ACTUALLY FIXING IT. VERY DISAPPOINTING WITH THE WAY FORD TREATS THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

2011 FORD SHELBY MUSTANG GT500 TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. GRINDING AND DIFFICULTY DOWNSHIFTING INTO 4TH AND 2ND. LOUD WHINING IN 1ST GEAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 FORD MUSTANG GT, THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO SHIFT INTO 3RD OR 4TH GEAR. I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO AN INTERSECTION AND WAS UNABLE TO POWER THE VEHICLE TO SAFELY MAKE THE TURN. AFTER MAKING THE VEHICLE COME TO A NEARLY COMPLETE STOP, I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO SECOND AND GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. LUCKILY THE TRAFFIC WAS EXTRA FAR AWAY OR ELSE I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THE TIME TO SLOW AND FORCE THE CAR INTO 2ND GEAR. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE & THE CAR ONLY HAS 5K MILES. *TR
