general problems of the 2007 Ford Mustang

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Mustang. The contact stated while driving and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The contact indicated that when the accelerator pedal was lightly depressed that vehicle decelerated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the clutch was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that an extended service for the failure was issued but the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was 17,000.

There's a chronic hesitation when you push the accelerator from a yield/merge type situation at low-speed. It's not every time but many times. Today I was going around a car that was sitting in the road with it's flashers on (ie double parked) and there was a car in the other lane on the 2-lane one-way street and I stepped on the peddle to accelerate slightly and it totally choked and I thought I was going to get hit in the rear and then it kicked in. I noted this way back when I bought it and at that time I thought it had something to do with the gearing which it still could. I told service about the issue and I even took them for a drive but of course that time it didn't happen. I've tried over years to id the problem more but while I can see somewhat of a pattern it's not guaranteed. Although one of the most likely situations is going up a hill, turning slightly to the right while slowing for a yield sign but not stopping and then pushing the accelerator only to get a hiccup or choke or whatever you want to call it. There are also issues filling the tank because of a lack of enough space for fuel to replace air causing the self-shutoff of the pump to kick-in not filling your tank. I raise this up as this could be some type of pressurization consistency. There's also the aggressive accelerator where you push it a tiny bit and it wants to take off enough to squeal the tires sometimes.

The transmission would not go into overdrive on the highway so I pulled over and then the automatic transmission had to be manually switched from gear to gear and then drove fine. The the vehicle starts doing the same thing after warming up. Now reverse and 3rd are out when the vehicle is warm. Ive had sensors bands and other things replaced. Everything short of a new transmission has been replaced. Now I cant find a transmission repair shop that will rebuild it due to so many problems with these transmissions they do not want to put a warranty on it. Please look into this problem. It needs to be a recall. Something is clearly defective or licensed technicians would repair them and wouldnt care to offer a warranty. My vehicle has had transmission problems off and on since 2017. This is ridiculous that all the complaints have not resulted in a recall.

After fewer than 25,000 miles my clutch began slipping severly.

The clutch is slipping at only 10,000 miles, the car cant even make it up a gentle grade with the cruise control on ! it cannot maintain speed it cant handle when you give gas to accelerate to freeway speed when entering the onramp to freeway. This has to be the slowest shelby on the road.

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Mustang. While driving at 60 mph, the vehicle decelerated without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 5,500.

This has been a reoccurring problem that I have been experiencing for quite awhile. I was researching a lunge problem, discovered it is frequently happening to others. It happens when I am going a a very slow speed. It has happened in traffic many times which is scary, in my housing developments, we have speed bumps so you must drive slowly and making turns. It just immediately all shuts down and the car stops. I actually try to avoid traffic on freeway because it has happened so many times. I have discussed, in the past, this with my mechanic various times and made sure everything in my car is fine. I have replaced everything and my car is well maintained. Extremely dangerous.

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Mustang. The contact was stopped at a traffic stop when the clutch was released and the vehicle began to jerk violently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician advised that the clutch and the fly wheel would have to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 2,600.

In traffic transmission intermittently locks you out of 2nd gear. Ford would not repair under warranty their tech said repair might not resolve the issue and might make the problem even worse. Vehicle is a bit dangerous and unnerving to drive in traffic, especially heavy traffic. Suspension bounces vehicle up and down heavily on the interstate at interstate speeds. Vehicle is a bit dangerous and unnerving to drive at interstate speeds on the interstate, especially if the road is course and curvy.

I was driving eastbound on the 91 freeway in California. I went to accelerate and the accelerator revved up and increased my speed to over 90 miles per hour which I had no control of. I realized that the accelerator was stuck and put my car into neutral. I was able to come to a stop on the side of the freeway with the help of a dirt field without doing this I would have crashed and either been killed or I would have killed someone. I contacted Ford corporation about my problem and they insisted that this was the first time they have heard of a Mustang doing this. I researched this online and apparently this is happening alot with the Mustang. My car has only 33,000 miles on it.

Accelertor stuck when entering ramp off highway. Motor was racing. Tried to brake but brakes were fighting against engine. Had to throw vehicle in to park once vehicle slowed enough but still fought the motor racing. Started car back up and excellerator still stuck to floor. Checked to see if car mat possibly was the cause, but was not. Calledd for tow truck.

When I start my car in the morning, and it is overcast out or has just rained, my shifter will not go into first or reverse. It takes a few minutes until I can force with all my strength the knob into gear. As I am driving though, I still have a hard time getting it into first gear after a stop, and many time cars have had to go around me into oncoming traffic and a few times have come close to an accident. The first dealer I went to in victorville told me to bring it back when it is acting up really bad. I brought it there one day when it was acting up and they told me they would get to it later. I called them a few minutes before they closed and they said they found nothing wrong, so I insisted to leave it and have them try it in the morning. The next day I called right before they closed again and they informed me everything was working fine. When I went to pick it up, I noticed they had not put even a mile on my car after checking the milage. I drove home and on the way home it was acting up very bad so I went back and told them. The guy that runs the counter went on a ride with me and I showed him when it happened and he said he thinks I'm probably not pushing the clutch down all the way and basically blew it off. I was a little insulted by his assumption of my incompetence, so I contacted Ford corporate about my issue and they said I should possibly try another dealer. A week later when I was getting my oil changed at a shop, they informed me that my water pump had a large leak. I took my car into the dealer in san bernardino, where they fixed the leak, but once again found nothing wrong with my shifter, and also found that my transmission was leaking. I went to a dealer in san diego when my car was still acting up bad, and they fixed my transmission leak, which took 10 days, but said my shifter was working completely fine.

Contact owns a 2007 Ford Mustang. The contact stated the shift cover or tracking fractured and the contact was unable to shift from park to drive. The failure was repaired four times but continued to recur. The manufacturer advised an investigator would be sent to further inspect the vehicle. The failure mileage was 32,850.

While executing a left turn across a six-lane intersection, I noticed another vehicle approaching the left side of my vehicle at a speed of at least double the limit. I accelerated hard to get out of the way. The throttle "stuck" for an estimated two to three seconds which caused loss of control and impact with a foot high curb at the far side of the intersection. Damage to my car was over $8,000. 00. There have been no repeat episodes to this date.

Approx. The 10th of June, 2 weeks before my first anniversary of having purchased my 2007 Ford shelby gt-500 cobra, I began noticing some slippage in the transmission during acceleration for passing, etc. I didn't pay much attention to it to begin with, but the slipping steadily worsened. I only work 3 miles from home, so my opportunities to experience the revving and then slippage didn't come up as often as one may perceive. I took it to the local dealership about June 23rd, at which time they checked things out and called me back a few hours later. The first call from the service rep. Told me that the "clutch was almost totally worn-out, and must be replaced. " he said he also needed to check on the transmission/flywheel assembly and get back to me shortly. About an hour later his second "call of doom" told me that the flywheel and trans. Would also need replacing. I didn't worry a whole lot, not until I checked my "purchase date" and discovered that my top of the line, a-1, car of the year had elapsed the 12 month mark about one week prior to this discovery! at this time, my top of the line shelby cobra had exactly 10,345 miles on it!! I spoke with the mgr. And asked for a "waiver" since the problems had actually started prior to the expiration of the 12/12,000 warranty. I was told that. . . In this case. . . That "waiver" or "free pass" on my having gone 6. 5 days past the warranty exp. Wouldn't mean anything anyway! why? well, it seems, the flywheel, transmission, and clutch all fall under the broad and all encompassing term of "normal wear and usage", kind of like tires, wiper blades, etc. My question was (and still is) "please tell me why Ford's top-of-the-line, car of the year, etc. Has a flywheel/trans. /clutch assembly that doesn't even last one calendar year?" nobody has yet to answer that query . But guess who had to shell out $2850 in repair fees?? me! the same fellow who was so proud to be driving the latest, greatest Ford Mustang ever produced/sold!.
