| Bought this 2011 ford mustang on april 8 2011. everything was fine for about this first month. car did not want to start when clutch was pressed down had 800 miles at the time, classic ford 1st dealer said needed a clutch adjustment? its hydraulic there is no adjustment on them! they had the car for about 6 hours to tell me that. clutch still felt funny ,started hearing grinding, shifter would get stuck in r,1,2,3,4 gears then it went out stuck in 2nd gear! 2nd dealer jim hudson ford took it to had it for 3 weeks before i got it back car had 6,000 miles on it needed a brand new clutch system from what ford said. it was not a recall on the car they said it was a bad design! still is not right for ford to push it under the rug like its not a big deal. these cars cost too much for us to be having problems with them and most our children that ride with us. i would like to know more info about this please thanks | |||

| 2011 mustang gt with 6477 miles, with 6 speed manual transmission. taking off from a stop sign and attempting to shift from from 1st gear to 2nd gear, resulted in only being able to shift from 1st gear to neutral. once the shifter moved into the neutral position, the vehicle is no longer able to shift into any gear. had to coast the vehicle to a safe stopping point with no engine power and towed to the nearest dealer for repair. this is the 2nd incident with the transmission on this vehicle in less than 1 year, with the prior incident being a faulty slave clutch cylinder. (this vehicle is not equipped with the 'skip shift' feature that is meant to increase gas mileage by locking out certain gears.) | |||

| Heading up a hill and heard a loud grinding sound. car stopped in place and would not go anywhere when pressing on the gas. tried putting the car in reverse and would not move at all. also tried putting in neutral and it still would not move. had car towed to ford dealership and the service department checked the car out and stated that the transmission grenaded as it stated on the work order. i got to see what the transmission looked like. it had pieces of metal everywhere and the long bearings were all shattered into pieces. a new transmission was ordered and placed in the car. | |||

| 2011 mustang gt with manual transmission- inability to shift into 3rd gear. it almost caused an accident as i was stuck slowing down into on coming traffic. the car is been in the shop multiple times. also has severe knocking in the engine that goes way after 5 minutes. ford states this is piston rattle and they tried a software fix. nothing helped.i'm afraid of the engine damage or catastrophic engine failure while driving. there are youtube videos posted labeled 2011 mustang knock. ford is aware... they referred me to it(at least the service tech did. ford is doing nothing!!! the car has been in the shop 5-6 times and there is under 5000 miles. the car had only 300 miles on it when they had to replace the gas tank pump because it dropped to zero at with a half tank of gas left. there is a bulletin on this. help before some gets hurt by the transmission problem or the engine blowing out!!!! | |||
