2012 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

HAVE FILED PREVIOUSLY- ODI NUMBER: 10432980 . WHILE DRIVING TUES 11/08/11. VEHICLE HAD A RATTLING SOUND IN SECOND GEAR (2ND GEAR PREVIOUSLY REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP). WHILE ACCELERATING AND SHIFTING TRANSMISSION INTO 2ND GEAR, HEARD AND FELT A POP. COULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 2ND GEAR. I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AT THE TIME. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND PULL OVER. COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF 2ND GEAR EVEN WHEN CAR WAS NOT RUNNING. I HAVE DETAILED RECEIPT OF PREVIOUS REPAIRS. *TR

MY 2012 MUSTANG 6 SPD MANUAL CONSISTENTLY HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING TO 2ND GEAR FROM 1ST. GOING TO 3RD, IT WOULD GRIND. SHIFTING DOWN FROM 4TH OR HIGHER INTO 3RD, WOULD NOT SHIFT AT HIGH RPM'S. TURNING FROM 1ST TO 2RD WOULD GRIND GEARS AS WELL. SHIFTING FROM 3RD INTO 4TH ON ACCELERATION SPEEDS SOMETIMES WOULD NOT ENGAGED RESULTING IN ME HAVING TO SLOW DOWN, IMPEDING OTHER TRAFFIC. *TR

MERGING INTO TRAFFIC CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM THIRD TO FOURTH GEAR,MY WIFE AND I WERE ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND, BECAUSE WE COULD NOT GET THE CAR UP TO SPEED.,,THIS HAS NOT BEEN THE ONLY TIME THE CAR WOULD LOCK UP BETWEEN GEARS. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON THESE CARS. *TR

CHANGE GEARS FROM 3RD TO 4TH. CLUTCH PEDAL STAYED ON THE FLOOR AND TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT. NEARLY HIT BY ANOTHER CAR DUE TO SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THIS HAS HAPPEN 3 TIMES PREVIOUSLY. *TR

2012 MUSTANG IS A RENTAL VEHICLE FROM AVIS/BUDGET GROUP THAT I HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED TO REPAIR. IT WAS RENTED OUT AND RETURNED WITH ALL 4 AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. CUSTOMER SEEMED TRUTHFUL. STATED THEY BLEW OUT WHILE AT FULL THROTTLE. DOESN'T REMEMBER SEEING ANYTHING IN HIS PATH. FELT A SIMULTANEOUS JOLT AS ALL 4 BAGS DEPLOYED. INSPECTION BY THE MIKE BROWN FORD IN GRANBURY, TX FOUND NO DAMAGE BEYOND A PLASTIC CHIN SPOILER WAS TORN, BUT IS CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. ONLY PREVIOUS REPAIR WAS A SCRATCH THAT AVIS HAD REPAIRED ON THE FRONT BUMPER IN MAY 2011. WE HAVE A FULL REPORT AND PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE AT THAT TIME. THIS WAS MINOR DAMAGE THAT OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. THE ORIGINAL BUMPER COVER WAS REPAINTED AND NO OTHER WORK WAS PERFORMED. NO TURNED BOLTS ON THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. THE PCM WAS SENT TO FORD IN DEAR BORN MI. WAS FOUND TO HAVE CRASH DATA IN IT, BUT NOTHING SEVERE ENOUGH TO BLOW AIRBAGS IN MY OPINION, ESPECIALLY SIDE AIRBAGS. EXPLANATION WAS "THERE WAS CERTAIN PARAMETERS THAT WERE MET". FORD REFUSES TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM STATING THE CRASH DATA WAS ENOUGH TO CAUSE DEPLOYMENT. MY COMPLAINT IS: HOW CAN THEY BUILD A VEHICLE THAT THE AIRBAGS CAN DEPLOY CORRECTLY WITHOUT AN IMPACT TO THE BODY OR UNDERCARRIAGE. ENTIRE CAR IS IN DAMAGE FREE CONDITION ASIDE FROM THESE AIRBAGS BEING DEPLOYED. THE EVEN GREATER COMPLAINT IS THAT THE SIDE AIRBAGS ARE BLOWN. BUT, EVEN STILL - ALL 4 BAGS BLOWN OUT ON A CAR WITHOUT A SCRATCH ON THE BODY, UNDERCARRIAGE, OR A SINGLE TURNED BOLT? FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

SINCE NEW THE GEAR CHANGES WERE DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE, THEN WHEN MILES ACCUMULATE IT DEVELOPS UNABLE/VERY HARD TO GET INTO FIRST/SECOND/THIRD GEARS, AN INCIDENT ALMOST OCCUR WHEN I TRY TO GET INTO FIRST AT THE GREEN LIGHT AND OTHER DANGEROUS SITUATIONS THAT RESULT ON CAR BEHIND ALMOST REAR END ME. FORD REPLACE TRANSMISSION(WITH SAME PART NUMBER) AND AGAIN AT 4300 MILES GEAR CHANGES START TO BE DIFFICULT AND TRANSMISSION WHINE IS PRESENT AGAIN. *TR

2012 FORD MUSTANG. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE NOT BEING EQUIPPED WITH A SPARE TIRE *TGW

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING 2012 GT MUSTANG (6 SPEED MANUAL) WE STARTING EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. 2ND GEAR HAD A RATTLING NOISE AND 5TH GEAR HAD A SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION. COUNTY FORD HAD THE VEHICLE FOR TWO WEEKS PERFORMING REPAIRS. THEY REPLACED 2ND & 5TH GEAR AND I HAVE A LONG DETAILED LIST OF REPAIRS ON THE INVOICE. I'VE ONLY DRIVEN THE CAR A FEW TIMES SINCE GETTING THE CAR BACK. IT'S DIFFERENT BUT I'M NOT SURE ITS REPAIRED. I FEEL VIBRATIONS IN 3RD & 4TH GEARS NOW AND 2ND SOMETIMES GRINDS WHEN YOU PUT IT IN GEAR. *TT

I HAVE A 2012 MUSTANG V6 WITH THE GETRAG MT82 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION WITH THE KNOW ISSUE OF NOTCHY SHIFTING AND SOMETIMES NOT GOING INTO GEAR. 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). BUT HAVING THE ISSUE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION AND DEALING WITH A SCREAMING CHILD IS TERRIFYING. PLEASE TAKE A DEEP LOOK INTO THESE CONCERNS. THERE ARE PLENTY OF ACTUAL VIDEOS AVAILABLE TO CONFIRM THE COMPLAINTS. FORD HAS DONE A TERRIFIC JOB. JUST HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS FLAWED TRANSMISSION. I JUST WANT MY NEW CAR TO RUN SAFELY. THANKS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TT

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. I CAN FEEL IT IN THE SHIFTER HANDLE, STEERING WHEEL, SEAT, AND FOOT PEDALS. NOT ONLY AM I DISAPPOINTED IN THE SHIFTING PROBLEM WITH MY 2012 MUSTANG WITH 1,000 MILES; I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TT
