Transmission Shudder problems of the 2012 Ford Mustang

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 mph the check engine light had displayed and the vehicle suddenly began to shake and vibrate and the transmission unexpectedly down shifted to 1st gear. After restarting the engine the vehicle operated as normal. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer Ford country(280 north gibson rd. Henderson nv). The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 39,000. Jft.

The manual transmission will grind when shifting between first in second gear until the car is fully warmed up. Sometimes it locks you out of second gear when you want to shift into it. A Ford dealership has said this is normal operation but this is a safety hazard not being able to shift into gear. First and second gear do not work the same when cold and warm. First and second gear become almost impossible to shift between when it is below 30 degrees outside.

I am going to start by saying that I only have 3oo miles on my car. The transmission grinds going from first to second and second to third. Sometime second is extremely difficult to get into. I occasionally go into reverse when I was supposed to be in first. I just started noticing a grating sound for the first 5 - 10 min when first started.

Previously filed complaints odi 10432980 &10435461. Purchased vehicle- 8/16/11. 1st repair-vehicle was at county Ford for 2 ⽠weeks (total) in September-oct (they evaluated and ordered parts. Took car back to be repaired) 2nd repair- 11/08/11 – 12/23/11 (45 days) **vehicle on lift the entire time. Found out when we picked it up they damaged the ext housing while attempting to replace bearing-had to wait for parts shipped from china** 3rd repair- 1/11/12-until? transmission still has vibrations in multiple gears and rattling sounds.

Since purchase of my 2012 Ford Mustang v6 with manual transmission I have noticed 5th gear being notchy even with just 4 miles on it. I currently have 2715 miles on the car and have had several occasions where I have experienced grinding in the transmission in 5th and 6th gear mainly when it has been below 65 degrees farenheit out. The transmission is also difficult to shift into first and second at times but the main cause for writing this complaint is the grinding in 5th and 6th gear no matter how hard I try to be easy and go slow with shifting in the mornings when the temperature is cooler.

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.

Brand new 2012 boss 302 Mustang with mt-82 transmission. Failure to shift into 3rd & 5th gears in regular driving cycle transmission grinds /pops out of 3rd & 5th gears rendering car mission disabled/ requested a replacement transmission after taking back to dealer , and Ford will not replace, only repair/ meanwhile, parts have been on back order for 2+ weeks, bar is at dealer for 3 weeks now/ Ford is aware of these transmission issues with the mt-82 model transmissions, and will not admit to their design/build issues.

I own a 2012 Mustang gt with manual transmission. The car has exhibited very rough shifting about a week after purchase. Additionally the clutch and drivetrain are very noisy - lot's of clangs and seemingly loose parts. The car will pop out of gear occasionally when in 1st. Shifting from 1st to 2nd is sometimes smooth, sometimes very rough and sometimes grinds. Attempting to shift into 2nd when making a left hand turn seems to make rough shifting worse. I was at a light making a left turn on a four lane road. I was in the left hand land with a tractor trailer to my right. The light changed and we both started moving. I tried to shift from 1st to 2nd and was not able to engage the gear and lost speed. The tractor trailer however continued with the turn and had to slam on his breaks to avoid side swiping my car. If the driver hadn't reacted, he would have hit the car. If I had a passenger in the front seat and had been hit they could have been injured or worse. This car is equipped with skip shift technology however the dashboard message that lights when it is active did not light. This car has a serious safety issue which seems to be getting progressively worse. The first time the car was brought to the dealer was for the noisy clutch/trans - they felt it was "louder than normal" and after discussing with them they felt it would not break down. With this most recent issue of not being able to shift into gear and a near-miss accident, I'm scheduling the car to be serviced. This is in my opinion primarily a major safety flaw and secondly a red flag for durability for the life of this drivetrain. A transmission that is grinding gears / getting locked out of gears after a couple of hundred miles can't last for what you would normally expect a transmission to last for. Over the life of the car, how many more situations where you need to maneuver the car to avoid an accident will arise. How many of those times will the transmission not respond?.
