2012 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

MY NEPHEW LOST CONTROL OF HIS SIX SPEED 2012 MUSTANG WHILE DRIVING ON MOUNTAIN ROAD AND WAS KILLED. HE WAS DOWNSHIFTING INTO LEFT CORNER OR ROAD THEN ROAD TURNS RIGHT UPHILL (LIKE AN "S" SHAPE). PERHAPS THE POWER TRAIN HAD AN ISSUE.? *TR

TODAY IS NOV. 16, I HAVE MY CAR AT THE DEALER NOW BECAUSE IT WON'T SHIFT INTO 3 GEAR AT RED LINE AND THE FIFTH GEAR SYC IS OUT, FORD SAYS THEY CAN FIX PROBLEM, THERE PULLING THE WOOL OVER YOUR EYES, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAD MY CAR AT THE DEALER,THEY PUT ANOTHER CLUTCH PEDAL AND SPRING IN IT TO SOLVE 2 TO 3 SHIFT. TOOK IT OUT SAME PROBLEM, BOUGHT A EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT SHIFTER TOP BRAND STILL HAS PROBLEM,SO IT HAS TO BE THE TRANNY. DON' LET THEM BS YOU THERE IS A MANGER PROBLEM WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC OR TRYING TO PULL OUT TO PASS THIS TRANNY WON'T RESPOND AND YOUR IN TROUBLE WITH THE OTHER TRAFFIC.NOW THERE FIXING THE SYC AND THE 2 TO 3 SHIFT AGAIN, SOMEBODY HAS TO INVESTIGATE WHAT IS FORD HIDING. LOOK ON THE WEB SITES THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME 6 SPEED, THANKS FOR LETTING ME BLOW OF SOME STEAM, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG GT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND AND FROM THIRD TO FOURTH, THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD GET STUCK AND SHE WOULD HAVE TO DOWN SHIFT AND TRY AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12.

TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK FROM BELL HOUSING. TRANSMISSION FLUID RUNNING ON EXHAUST SYSTEM CAN CAUSE FIRE. THIS PART IS MADE IN CHINA AND IS POORLY MADE. *TR

CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM 3RD GEAR TO 4TH GEAR CLUTCH ACTED AS IF IT WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC CLOSE CALL ON ACCIDENT. *TR

CLUTCH WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO SHIFT THE CAR BETWEEN 3RD AND 4TH GEAR I TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOT A NEW SITUATION THE CAR HAS DONE THIS ON AND OFF SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW I NOTICE IT AFTER DRIVING A LONG TIME OR IN FAST MOVING CITY TRAFFIC. *TR

I WAS COMPLETING A LEFT TURN WHEN POWER WAS NO LONG GOING TO THE BACK WHEELS WHILE RELEASING THE CLUTCH. IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I ARRIVED HOME WHILE PULLING IN TO THE DRIVEWAY BUT THIS TIME I SMELLED THE CLUTCH OVERHEATING. I LOST CONFIDENCE THAT THE VEHICLE WILL PROVIDE THE NECESSARY ACCELERATION THAT IS NEED WHILE CROSSING TRAFFIC AT AN INTERSECTION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A DRY, STRAIGHT STRETCH OF ROAD AT 50MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM KICKED IN AND STARTED SLOWING THE VEHICLE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE SYSTEM PULSED THE BRAKES FOR ABOUT 1/4 MILE, THEN THE SYSTEM RETURNED TO NORMAL. DASH LIGHTS INDICATED TRACTION CONTROL WAS KICKING ON. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. *TR

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND ON MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG GT MANUAL, OFTEN TIMES I AM UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR AND THE VEHICLE MAKES ME SHIFT INFO 4TH GEAR. THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO GET BOGGED DOWN AND CAUSES ME TO LOSE ACCELERATION SPEED. USUALLY I HAVE TO THEN SHIFT AGAIN OUT OF 4TH AND INTO 2ND. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED AS THE ENGINE GETS SO BOGGED DOWN IN 4TH THAT I CAN'T EVEN KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY WHEN MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY. THIS USUALLY OCCURS ONCE ABOUT EVERY 10 MILES OF CITY DRIVING. *TR

DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN ANY GEAR, WHEN GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, THE CAR WILL FALL ON IT'S FACE WHEN REACHING 3000 RPM'S AND UP AT ALL SPEEDS. IT MISSES AND THE TI-VCT ISN'T ENGAGING CORRECTLY. OIL LEVEL IS FULL, AND THE SPARK PLUGS LOOK GREAT. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT EVEN THROW AN MIL LIGHT. THE VEHICLE DRIVES FINE AT LOW RPM'S, BUT ONCE YOU DOWN SHIFT TO GO FASTER IT FEELS LIKE IT MISFIRES AND THE ENGAGEMENT OF THE TI-VCT IS COMING IN AND OUT. *TR
