2011 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

NEW 2011 MUSTANG GT 1400 MILES MT82 TRANSMISSION IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SHIFT GEARS 2-3, AND 3-4 SHIFTS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I COULD NOT SHIFT THE CAR INTO GEAR AND HAD TO BYPASS 3 & $ GEAR AND SHIFT TO 5TH GEAR TO MAINTAIN MY SPEED. I RECALL IS REQUIRED HERE. *TR

I HAVE A 2011 MUSTANG GT 5.0L WITH 6-SPEED MAN TRANSMISSION WITH 3000MILES TO DATE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN LOCKED OUT OF 4TH WHEN TRYING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY BOTH HEAVY AND LIGHT THROTTLE . ONE SUCH INCIDENT NEARLY GOT ME REAR ENDED BY AN 18 WHEELER. I AM A ASE CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN AND FEEL THERE IS A SYNCHRONIZER ISSUE WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS SINCE MANY FRIENDS OF MINE HAVE HAD SIMILAR INCIDENTS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS FOR I DON'T WANT TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND HEAR THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AGAIN. *TR

2011 V6 MUSTANG WITH MT-82 THAT HAS ABOUT 15K MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN NOTCHY IN 1ST-3RD SINCE THE FIRST FEW HUNDRED MILES, AND DURING COLD WEATHER IS VERY HARD TO GET INTO 2ND GEAR WITHOUT GRINDING AND POPPING BACK OUT FOR THE FIRST FEW SHIFTS OF THE MORNING. MOST DISCONCERTING WHEN MY 2ND TURN OF THE DAY IS THROUGH A BUSY 4 LANE INTERSECTION AND IT POPS OUT IN THE INTERSECTION. I HAVE STARTED NOT SHIFTING OUT OF FIRST TILL I AM THROUGH THE CORNER. BEEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES WITH "NO ISSUE FOUND". *TR

2011 MUSTANG GT TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUES. VERY HARD SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND AND SAME SHIFTING PROBLEM BACK FROM SECOND TO FIRST. THIS NOW TAKES MY ATTENTION OFF THE ROAD AS I?M NOW LOOKING DOWN AT MY SHIFTER TO SEE WHAT?S WRONG. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR BACK TO MY LOCAL DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. SHIFTING IS NOW BECOME A JOB AND DRIVING THE CAR MORE LIKE WORK THEN FUN, THE CAR IS NO LONGER A PLEASURE DRIVE AND SO SITS IN MY GARAGE. STARTED WITH 600 MILES ON THE CAR AND AS ONLY GOTTEN WORST. *TR

I HAVE A 2011 MUSTANG GT. STARTING AROUND 2K MILES I BEGAN HAVING NOTCHY SHIFTS. SINCE THEN (AROUND 5K MILES) A SLIGHT GRIND HAS DEVELOPED BETWEEN 1-2, 2-3 SHIFTS. I HAVE ALSO FOUND THE TRANSMISSION OCCASIONALLY HARD TO ENGAGE FIRST GEAR FROM A STOP AFTER THE CAR IS WARM. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE NOTCHY SHIFTS. THE ENTIRE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS REPLACED PER GUIDANCE TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM A FORD TECH. AFTER THE REPAIRS THE SHIFTING WAS SLIGHTLY SMOOTHER BUT THE NOTCHINESS AND INTERMITTENT GRINDING REMAINS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL GET WORSE OR WILL FAIL. *TR

CAR HAS JUST OVER 2000 MILES AND SINCE THE FIRST WEEK I HAD THE CAR IT HAS SHIFTING ISSUES. GRINDS GEARS RANDOMLY AND WILL NOT GO INTO FIRST EASILY. SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO INTO GEARS WHILE MOVING. FIRST GEAR FEELS LOCKED OUT SOMETIMES AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO GO IN FIRST WITHOUT A FIGHT. *TR

I OWN A 2011 MUSTANG 5.0 COUPE. MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHEN SHIFTING AT HIGHER REV'S IT IS REALLY HARD TO SHIFT INTO 2ND AND 4TH GEAR WHEN TURNING OR ON A CURVE. I NOTICE THIS EVERY TIME I TURN LEFT OR SHIFT WHEN TRAVELING ON A CURVE TO THE LEFT. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP BUT WILL SOON. *TR

CAR GET STUCK IN GEAR,CLUTCH WONT WORK SO YOU CANT PUT IN GEAR AT A STOPLIGHT OR SLOW DOWN!,ROUGH SHIFTS,TRANS WHINES REAL LOUD,CLUTCH PEDAL STICKS TO THE FLOOR! *TR

PROBLEMS SHIFTING CAR INTO GEAR. GEARS ARE NOTCHY AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT INTO FIRST WHEN CAR IS COLD. TRANSMISSION MAKING WHINING NOISES IN 1-4 GEARS. *TR

CAR HAS 8200 MILES ON AS OF 8-1-11.. MT-82 TRANSMISSION ISSUES.. GRINDING IN 1-3 GEARS SINCE 700 MILES, WITH OCCASIONAL LOCKOUT OF 2 GEAR AND NO INDICATIONS OF SKIPSHIFT SHOWING ON THE DISPLAY, THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WHEN TURNING LEFT.. WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR STOP-SIGN UNABLE TO GET THE CAR IN ANY GEAR WHEN WITH THE CLUTCH ALL THE WAY DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR, THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST GET REAR ENDED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN THE PEOPLE ARE EXPECTING YOU TO MOVE AND YOU DON'T.. WHEN THE CAR IS COLD OR TEMP OUTSIDE UNDER 50* WILL BE EXTREMELY "NOTCHY" AND GRINDING IN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR AND WILL FREQUENTLY PREVENT YOU FROM ENGAGING 1ST OR 2ND GEAR AT A STOP UNTIL SEVERAL MILES ARE DRIVEN. THIS AGAIN HAS ALMOST GOT ME REARENDED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.. THE SHIFTER ALSO VIBRATES IN YOUR HAND IN 3RD AND 5TH GEAR ALL OTHER GEARS ARE SMOOTH.. THIS WAS ALL BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT VISITS STARTING IN JAN '11. THE FIRST 2 TIMES INTO THE DEALER THEY DIDN'T EVEN PULL THE CAR INTO THE GARAGE AND TOLD ME THAT FORD IS AWARE OF AN ISSUE SINCE DEC. 2010 AND NO FIX AT THIS TIME. THE 3RD TIME IN LATE MARCH '11 I FINALLY CONVINCED THEM TO LET A TECH COME OUT FOR A RIDE, HE SAID "IT'S ALL NORMAL", SORRY A VIBRATING SHIFTER IN ANY GEAR IS NOT NORMAL, GRINDING IS NOT NORMAL. I REFUSE TO BRING MY CAR BACK INTO ANY DEALER UNTIL SOME REAL FIX IS FORCED UPON FORD THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THESE ISSUES, I'M AWARE OF THE TSB REGARDING CHANGING THE FLUID, FLUID WILL NOT FIX VIBRATIONS, OR THE ABILITY TO PUT A TRANSMISSION INTO A GEAR WHEN STOPPED NOR WILL IT FIX "GRINDING" WHICH IS SYNCHRO ISSUE. *TR
