The clutch on the car began to slip at about 22,500 miles. This caused the car to accelerate slowly and presented a potentially hazardous situation. I am the sole driver on the car and have been driving stick shifts for over 20 years. There is no reason other than defect that this should have happened. It subsequently cost me over $1200 to repair the defect.
Clutch is jumpy starting off in 1st gear. . . I have to let it out almost all the way to get it to fully engage. Owned the car since Dec, 7800 miles. . . . All highway. . Feel like I have no power. . Dealer told me to test it in the pking lot by revving it and letting the clutch out. . . Even w/ twc off, barely a chirp!!!.

Throw out bearing has been replaced 1 time. The second time, Ford motor company 800 number was called and reported. Dealer had car all day. At 4:00 pm we were called and instructed the car was ready-- could not find a problem. The squeal was gone. Returned last in the week. Dealership diagnosed the problem to be throw out bearing again. Car now has 40,000 miles. I believe this is the 3rd time the bearing will be replaced. Car driven 80% on interstate by middle aged woman.
Engine stalls with clutch disengaged, coasting at any speed such as when slowing to a stop, slowing for turn, etc. Loss of power, causes instability to turn, brake, or accelerate as expected.

2003 Mustang cobra , 600 plus miles, was driving at around 32 miles an hour when I pushed in the clutch to shift and the car died, which locked up the steering wheel, needless to say this is extremely dangerous, and luckily no one was hurt. The local dealer has no clue how to fix this, and supposedly svt is working on a fix but in the mean time there are over 13000 of the cars driving on the roads waiting to cause an accident. Please address this promptly thanks.

Vehicle has 24000 miles on it. At approx. 12000 miles the clutch lost travel distance, and could not be adjusted using the manual adjustment procedure. Clutch froze one morning after a very cold sub-zero night. Upon starting vehicle with clutch partially engaged, clutch burned. Then fell out of 4th gear while traveling at 40 mph. Dealer claims it is a wear item and bad driving resulted in pressure plates being unusually worn, a problem with the linkage was also noted but not assessed as contributing to the worn plates. Customer contends the linkage failed and caused continuous rubbing of pressure plates inside transmission ultimately leading to failure, and should be addressed by manufacturer. Premature wear of the plates is most likely linked to the failure in the linkage and the failure of the self adjusting clutch to in effect, self adjust when the pedal is pulled up and pushed down as recommended in the manual. Suspect this may also be a problem with the parts original to vehicle. Ts.

Clutch disc vibration/noise.
Vehicle was put into park, turned off engine . Within 2 min vehicle popped out of gear from park into neutral causing vehicle to roll off the driveway hitting a power transformer located across the street.
Severe clutch pedal vibration and chatter. . . The clutch, throw out bearing and pressure plate have been replaced 3 times and the flywheel once. . . They also have replaced the entire clutch pedal assembly and cable. . . Tomorrow I will take it in again and have a new "redesigned" throw out bearing installed. . . This is either a design flaw or a problem that should have already been rectified.
While parked on decline vehicle rolled and hit another vehicle with parking brakes still on, had parking brakes done on recall in 2001. Took to dealer and dealer repaired vehicle stating parking brakes were fine.
The vehicles clutch made a squeaking noise when engaged. The clutch failed and was replaced but the problem re-occurred within 10000 miles.
The car has died while engaging the clutch over five times. When we took it to Ford dealer they said they could not find a problem or that they could not recreate it. When the car dies you lose all power steering brakes etc, which in the right situation could be and is very dangerous. Now the car is off warranty so this is on;y route I knew to go. Something is wrong, other people have complained of same problem so it needs to be corrected.
When clutch is hot, veh is hard to shift into second and third gear, I found two TSB's, dealership says they cannot find problem and I asked them about the TSB's, they said they new of none and said the fully researched it, no action was performed by dealership, learning my lesson about buying a Ford,.
