| Was pulled over by police when accelerator stuck, he thought i was lying so i contacted d.a. and ticket reduced to bad muffler....right! took auto to dealership and were unable to duplicate problem. car also shakes badly at speeds above 45mph, all the time. private garage stated problem not with suspension. *tr | |||

| 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. *la | |||

| Car stalls occasionally while coasting and clutch is pressed to the floor. car has become very dangerous to drive due to the fact that it could die at anytime and it looses power steering and breaking becomes very sluggish. don reid ford (maitland, florida) says nothing is wrong with the car. *ak | |||

| POWER TRAIN - MANUAL TRANSMISSION | |||
| 05/10/2003 | 20000 | 1 | 04/28/2002 |
| Manual transmission sticks, it won't go into to gear or come out of gear. especially first, second, and reverse. we have been stuck in traffic and not been able to get our car into first gear. i have at times, had to spend 5 minutes trying to get our car in reverse. already caused one accident, and many more near misses. also ticking/rattling noise coming from clutch at all times. dealership is completely unhelpful. they say they can't duplicate the problem so their is no problem. | |||
| Problem with tires and transmission keeps sticking. interior pillar loose | |||
