Transmission Not Engage Problems of Ford Mustang

I was driving down I-35 in the arbuckle mountains in oklahoma going 70mph when my car suddenly disengaged the cruise control and downshifted to first gear. It felt like the brakes were being applied forcefully and then the car returned to driving normally. This happened two more times until I was able to pull off on the shoulder as I had almost gotten into an accident the first time it did it. During this time the car was in the drive selector and when the problem would happen the car would show it had entered sport mode and then the downshifting would occur. This would happen without warning and suddenly, without any input from me. This terrified me as I was going at such a high speed and it was sprinkling out and a car was following closely behind me. Luckily I was not involved in an accident. We had the vehicle towed to a nearby Ford dealership to be looked at and are awaiting the results. As I researched the problem later that night I found that many Ford 2011-2012 vehicles had been recalled for the exact same issue. Mine is a 2013 model and was not included in the recall, therefore I was unaware of any problems with the vehicle.

Transmission does not shift properly. Hesitation when upon initial take off and inconsistent shifting. Causes hazardous condition when you expect the vehicle to go and the transmission does not engage.

After putting the vehicle in drive and application of the gas pedal, the transmission would fail to engage first gear. This occurred intermittently and occasionally while driving. The transmission would also downshift to first while driving at 35mph. Brought to Ford and they identified the lead frame and connector as faulty parts. Ford has a recall 16s19 that covers my Mustang's build date and location but said my VIN wasn't included despite the exact same symptoms and exact same parts identified by a Ford technician that needed to be replaced. Ford the customer service refused to cover the repairs to a dangerous condition.

V6 automatic shifting problems. Vehicles transmission has hesitation upon acceleration. Often while merging onto highway, or changing lanes transmission does not engage. Upon acceleration rpm's will rise but vehicle does not increase speed. Ford service department says vehicle is operating as it should.

On multiple occasions while shifting into a higher gear at 7000 - 7500 rpm the clutch peddle did not return to the fully engaged position and the clutch did not fully engage. After driving 1 or 2 miles the situation corrected itself. Manual 6 speed manual transmission and 5. 0l v-8 engine. Boss 302 model. Several phone contacts with Ford and Ford racing resulted in their indication of no knowledge of the clutch sticking problem. 2 Ford dealers I spoke to also claimed to know nothing about this situation.

Transmission whine/grating with clutch engaged traveling at speed. Frequent grinding heard/felt going into 3rd and 4th gears mostly when cold. Difficulty shifting into some gears. Clutch will not reengage over approx 4,000 rpm.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that the transmission would not engage into third or fourth gear. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The current and failure mileages were 4400.

Anytime the engine is rotating over 4000 rpm's the 6 speed manual transmission will randomly be blocked from going into gear(any gear), leaving the vehicle in a neutral state and unable to accelerate like it has stalled. I am currently driving this car, but I do not drive it like I would like to, I have to be extremely careful not to pull out in front of anyone. This is easily duplicated, and to me it feels like the either 1, bad clutch not disengaging all the way, 2. Transmission/shifter are out of alingment, 3. Bad synchro's. I have not had it in to have it repaired, because from what I have been reading online Ford considers this normal. If it's normal, then I'll just sell the car that I personally ordered 6 months early and that I absolutely love, and mark this one down as a lesson learned.

I was driving along the freeway going 55 mph when I down shifted to slow down and the gear would not engage into the 5th gear from 6th gear. I put it in neutral then put it in 5th gear with no ill effect. Also when driving on the local street sometimes the gear would grind from 2 to 3 and a couple of times from 5 to 6 gear.

While driving my 2011 Ford Mustang manual transmission, second gear would not engage causing a drastic slowing of the vehicle in traffic. This almost resulted in the vehicle behind me crashing into the rear of my vehicle. This also ocured at least 2 other times between January and March of 2011.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Mustang. The contact stated when shifting into third gear, the vehicle would not engage unless the vehicle was almost at a complete stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice yet the dealer was unable to locate the failure. In addition, the traction control module was replaced. The contact believed the module was replaced with a second defective module. The dealer advised that the module was on back order and was unable to provide an estimated time of arrival. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure mileage was 150 and the current mileage was 11,000.

Since car was purchased new, manuel transmission was very difficult to shift from 2-3 gear (especially when cold). Sometimes gears would grind, or would not engage at all. Shifts would often take about 2-3 seconds to engage, with car losing speed during this time. At 5800 miles, transmission required the synchronizers to be replaced under warranty. Currently car has 22,000 miles. At times, gears would not engage smoothly from 2-3 shift (when transmission hot or cold), and requires 2-3 seconds for gears to engage. This occurs occasionally, without any forewarning.

Transmission will drag on deceleration and then freewheel. Example: going 60 mph, taking foot off accelerator the car will freewheel until it hits 50 mph, the transmission then engages, like the brakes were put on lightly, at 40 mph the transmission disengages and the car than freewheels again. A vibration is felt in the drivers seat when the transmission engages( at 50 mph ) and is more pronounced at higher speeds. This has been a continuous action since the car was purchased. I have had it to the dealer 3 or 4 times and I am told there is nothing wrong, that is how the transmission works. I have no confidence that the dealer knows what he is talking about. I think the warranty of this transmission should be increased beyond the three years as provided by Ford. This Ford Mustang was purchased on oct. 30, 2001 and the warranty runs out in oct. This year(2004). The car only has 6500 miles on it at this time. This is a 2002 Ford Mustang, VIN # 1fafp404x2f102766.
