While accelerating to get on the freeway, the transmission began to slip and the car began to jerk, then the transmission locked into 3rd gear, and would not shift out of 3rd gear until the vehicle was completely stopped, and the engine turned completely off. This is an intermittent problem, but an extremely dangerous one when it occurs. The Ford dealership says I need a recall notice before they can fix it. I'm out of work and don't have the funds to replace or repair the vehicle. Right now, we are driving it as little as possible.
Have filed previoulsy- 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.
My manual transmission 2012 Ford Mustang was initially at a standstill at the stop light at a four way intersection. As I prepared to make a left hand turn, I experienced difficulty shifting into first gear--the transmission did, however, shift into first. I accelerated to make the turn, and halfway through the turn I lost power (approximate speed was 15 mph)--the transmission shifted out of first gear back into neutral. It was as though it had only partially engaged the gear when I initially shifted into first. A near collision ensued, as there was oncoming traffic. I originally had enough time to make the turn, but the loss of power caused me to come to a near stop in the intersection. I attempted to shift back into first, but the shift was impossible (the transmission simply would not shift into first), so I shifted into second gear and gave it as much gas as possible to get out of the intersection.
