| The office of defects investigations (odi) analyzed complaint data provided by ford as well as complaints submitted to odi from consumers.in total, there were 364 unique reports indicating various shift quality issues while driving.ford identified several factors that may contribute to shift quality concerns in the subject vehicles, including cold transmission, clutch stay-out at high engine speeds, gear clash or grinding, and gradual loosening of clutch plate bolts in some early production vehicles.the largest percentage of complaints indicated higher than expected shift efforts in cold ambient temperatures.these complaints were related to transmission fluid viscosity and the higher shift efforts resolved themselves with the drivetrain warming.ford published technical service bulletin tsb 11-3-18 to inform technicians that a lower viscosity fluid was available for use to address the cold shift issues.the clutch stay-out condition typically occurs at engine speeds greater than 4000 rpm.it does not prevent the selection of any gear, but may delay clutch re-engagement depending on how long the driver maintains the higher engine speed.ford identified rotating inertia of the clutch components as the root cause and replacement clutch pedal parts were made available under ford tsb 10-19-4.a number of reports alleged increasing difficulty selecting gears along with gear clash or grinding.grinding or notchy gear shifts may be caused by gradual loosening of clutch plate fasteners, which is promoted by certain aggressive shifting.this condition is progressive in nature and initially results in symptoms related to shift quality/feel.clutch plate bolt loosening will not result in inability to select any gear unless the progressive symptoms are ignored until complete clutch failure occurs.odi | ||||||

| Shifting into 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears has become more difficult over the past few months. sometimes it grinds, and sometimes it won't even go into gear. i have been driving manual transmission cars for 15 years, and something is really wrong with this transmission that needs to be fixed. i had the vehicle at the dealer 3/4/2013, and all they did was change the transmission fluid and said it was resolved. drove it home and the problem was not resolved, as it is still difficult to shift gears. ford needs to come up with a fix immediately and fix our mustangs. | |||

| (2nd owner) ever since i purchased this vehicle i have had nothing but problems with the shifter/ shifter linkage. the vehicle misses shifts and won't engage mainly during 2nd-3rd shifts. for a performance automobile this is the worst clutch and shifter combination i have ever seen. shifter constantly will not engage and on a number of occasions has popped out of gear due to not being fully engaged. linkage sounds clunky and is not smooth in any way. | |||

| I drive a 2012 v6 mustang 2dr coupe base .i was merging into traffic onto i40/i85 when tried go to second gear when it would not go. i tried forcing it but was afraid i would snap the shifter shaft so i was forced to slow and then it finally went into 2nd gear. this was the other day 1/12/13. so this is not first time it has happened it has happened several times same thing when you get on the pedal this happens and on occasion it will go into 2nd but will grind.this has happened maybe 10-20 times both grinding and just not going into 2nd gear. so i know this is an ongoing problem with ford and the mustangs of 2011 and 2012 from other mustang owners i have talked to either on forums or in person. when i attended mustang week in myrtle beach sc in 2012 several people had this issue as well. so what can i do? the dealers that i have brought this up to in my area have told me it was the way i push in clutch ( classic response) i find hard to believe since i am 34yr and have had 9 vehicles in my life all manuals and i shift all the same through every gear. my hands are tied cause now my warranty is out. i have my 4yr son who rides with me alot and i am a daily driver of this vehicle and i am concerned of my sons and my safety. please help. *tr | |||

| I am having frequent issues with shifting on my 2012 mustang gt 6-spd. it has been difficult to shift into 5th gear at times. shifting from 1st to 2nd is now producing a brief grinding sound with every shift. at times, the transmission will not allow shifting into 4th on the first try, and this also occurs from 4th to 5th at times. a second shift attempt usually works but there is the loss of getting up to speed in each case. in addition, the skip-shift feature often engages at too low an rpm range causing the engine to 'lug' with very little power. this has nearly caused an accident twice as i accelerate from a stop, shift (being forced to 4th gear from 1st by the skip shift) and lose power. once, the engine died following the skip-shift from 1st to 4th, causing a serious risk. after having these issues with the manual transmission, i found many, many complaints on internet forums and this nhtsa site and do not understand why there is no action to encourage ford to address this well-known and extremely well-documented issue. this situation is getting close to justifying class-action activity. | |||

| My 2012 mustang gt was most likely totaled tonight when the transmission did not allow a shift into 5th gear. it slid into 3rd gear and caused the wheels to spin resulting in the car fishtailing and hitting a tree in the median. it had just started to rain which was a factor in this as the road was slicker than normal, but transmission problems been reported to the local ford dealership this past week. they were too busy to check the car when reported and ironically, the car was suppose to be looked at in the morning. we had reported to ford an issue with shifting into 5th gear. they told us there was an common issue with this but there was no recall. all airbags deployed and luckily there were no deaths. this is not a case of careless driving. there is an issue with the transmissions in these cars and something needs to be done. there was also an eyewitness that reported to law enforcement there was no wreckless driving. | |||

| Problem: abnormal vibration/noise in stick shift/driver seat during deceleration.car: 2012 mustang v6 base model (no add on's) manual 6 speed. purchased new. had control arms replace within 2 weeks of ownership due to creaking front end (392 miles on the car).approximately 3 months after control arms were replaced i noticed vibrations in shifter and driver seat as well as rumbling noises when on highway during deceleration. sounded and felt like when you ride over a rough patch of pavement or a metal grated bridge. problem continued off and on and i could not duplicate. i have recently been able to reproduce the problem. what i discovered was when i ran the car up to 2750-3000 rpms then let off the accelerator i could feel an abnormal vibration and hear the car rumbling. the vibration/noise would stop as the car decelerated to about 2500-2000 rpm's. severity of vibration/rumbling noise has ranged from mild vibration/noise to stick slapping back and forth violently and very loud rumbling. car does this in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear. i don't get to 3000 in 5th or 6th gear so i don't know if problem exists in these gears. road conditions do not appear to lessen or increase rate of incident. | |||

| Problem: abnormal vibration/noise in stick shift/driver seat during deceleration.car: 2012 mustang v6 base model (no add on's) manual 6 speed. purchased new. had control arms replace within 2 weeks of ownership due to creaking front end (392 miles on the car).approximately 3 months after control arms were replaced i noticed vibrations in shifter and driver seat as well as rumbling noises when on highway during deceleration. sounded and felt like when you ride over a rough patch of pavement or a metal grated bridge. problem continued off and on and i could not duplicate. i have recently been able to reproduce the problem. what i discovered was when i ran the car up to 2750-3000 rpms then let off the accelerator i could feel an abnormal vibration and hear the car rumbling. the vibration/noise would stop as the car decelerated to about 2500-2000 rpm's. severity of vibration/rumbling noise has ranged from mild vibration/noise to stick slapping back and forth violently and very loud rumbling. car does this in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear. i don't get to 3000 in 5th or 6th gear so i don't know if problem exists in these gears. road conditions do not appear to lessen or increase rate of incident. | |||

| My 2012 ford mustang v6 with premium package has a 6 speed manual transmission. i can't get the vehicle into some gears. i have noticed this problem to happen when starting the vehicle the shifter does not go smoothly into 1st or reverse gear when pressing the clutch pedal. i have to press the clutch repeatedly and play with the shifter to get it into 1st and 2nd gear when starting from a stopped position. in addition, i have had difficulty changing gears when traveling more than 25 mph. the transmission does not let me go into 3rd or 4th gear without having me put it into 5th or 6th gear while pressing the clutch pedal. i had a 20 year old acura integra that never gave me a problem and it had a 5 speed transmission with worn out synchros. my vehicle is fairly new and i never expected to have any issues with a car this new. this is a saftey hazard especially during emergency situations where i may have to downshift to gain more acceleration in order to avoid hitting something or getting me out of a dangerous situation. luckily i have not been in a position where i have to downshift quickly as i will be put in a dangerous situation and can seriously injure myself or someone and maybe even be killed. i have noticed the shifting problem to get worse as i put more miles on the vehicle. i currently have under 2000 miles on the odometer. please look further into this matter. | |||

| This vehicle has a shifter that will not retain its position and i believe it is related to the skip shift feature implemented for fuel economy. commonly it tries to force the shifter from 1st to 4th. as a result the driver ends up fighting the stick shift to get to 2nd. this often results in reduction in speed and a loss of real control of the vehicle and increases the risk of being struck from behind. in virtually every gear at some point i have lost the ability to down shift or up shift creating a driving scenario of real danger and potential of being struck by other motorists. i would say that every day i have driven this car something regarding the shifting has gone wrong. i have been driving a wide variety of manual transmissions for more than 4 decades and this one is grossly defective. in a series of contacts with ford csc i have received advice on how to correct this that had nothing to do with the actual problem. originally the dealership indicated that i should contact csc so that they could authorize the dealer to disable the slip shift feature. however the csc at ford said to contact the dealership and hence the cat chasing its tail began. this shifter, first used in the 2011 version is going to cause a serious injury at some point if this issue is not resolved by the appropriate authorities delegated with the responsibility of correcting this. it is well documented that people are having problems and that ford is doing nothing to correct it. please take up this cause before someone is seriously injured or worse. | |||

| Shortly after purchasing 2012 gt mustang (6 speed manual) we starting experiencing transmission issues. 2nd gear had a rattling noise and 5th gear had a significant vibration. county ford had the vehicle for two weeks performing repairs. they replaced 2nd & 5th gear and i have a long detailed list of repairs on the invoice. i've only driven the car a few times since getting the car back. it's different but i'm not sure its repaired. i feel vibrations in 3rd & 4th gears now and 2nd sometimes grinds when you put it in gear. | |||

| I have a 2012 mustang v6 with the getrag mt82 6 speed transmission with the know issue of notchy shifting and sometimes not going into gear. i have been experiencing problems shifting from 1st to 2nd and from 2nd to 3rd gear. the problem is that it can be very difficult to actually shift gears. there can be a lot of resistance and are times when i have to force the car into gear or skip the gear completely. the transmission is grinding and resisting changing gears. also, there is a vibration when i let off of the gas while the car is still in gear. and today i felt a grinding while i had the clutch completely depressed. this vibration can and does occur up to 25 times each day during my 40 mile commute. i have stopped by the dealership and inquired about any know issues and was told they are not aware of any. the car has exactly 5000 miles on it. i have owned many other cars with manual transmissions, such as two honda accords and 2 toyota celica's. these transmission issues are of great concern for my safety, the safety of my wife and the safety of our 4 year old daughter. dealing with a screaming child is very unpleasant but every parent becomes accustom too (even thought we don,t like it). but having the issue of not being able to shift gears while driving through a busy intersection and dealing with a screaming child is terrifying. please take a deep look into these concerns. there are plenty of actual videos available to confirm the complaints. ford has done a terrific job. just hold them accountable for this flawed transmission. i just want my new car to run safely. thanks dan w | |||

| I have a 2012 mustang v6 with the getrag mt82 6 speed transmission with the know issue of notchy shifting and sometimes not going into gear. i have been experiencing problems shifting from 1st to 2nd and from 2nd to 3rd gear. the problem is that it can be very difficult to actually shift gears. there can be a lot of resistance and are times when i have to force the car into gear or skip the gear completely. the transmission is grinding and resisting changing gears. also, there is a vibration when i let off of the gas while the car is still in gear. and today i felt a grinding while i had the clutch completely depressed. this vibration can and does occur up to 25 times each day during my 40 mile commute. i have stopped by the dealership and inquired about any know issues and was told they are not aware of any. the car has exactly 5000 miles on it. i have owned many other cars with manual transmissions, such as two honda accords and 2 toyota celica's. these transmission issues are of great concern for my safety, the safety of my wife and the safety of our 4 year old daughter. dealing with a screaming child is very unpleasant but every parent becomes accustom too (even thought we don,t like it). but having the issue of not being able to shift gears while driving through a busy intersection and dealing with a screaming child is terrifying. please take a deep look into these concerns. there are plenty of actual videos available to confirm the complaints. ford has done a terrific job. just hold them accountable for this flawed transmission. i just want my new car to run safely. thanks dan w | |||

| I have the mt-82 6 speed manual transmission in my 2012 v6 mustang. it is very hard to shift into 1st and 2nd gears regardless of ambient temperature. i have driven manual transmissions since i was licenced 15 yrs ago, i have never experienced this kind of hard & grinding shifting from a new/newer vehicle. it's like shifting a 50 year old farm tractor! i have to use excessive force to shift into 1st gear from a stop even with the clutch pedal to the floor; sometimes requiring a double clutch just to get it into 1st gear. this extra effort to get into 1st gear from a stop takes my attention and eyes off the road and i have even rolled backwards while fighting the transmission. then, once moving i have the same problem getting into 2nd gear; again causing me to divert almost all of my attention and eye sight from the road to inside the car getting into 2nd gear. most shifting into 1st & 2nd gears are accompanied by metal grinding that i can feel and hear. the shifter has popped out of 2nd gear a few times causing the engine to red-line while getting on the freeway. also, i have almost caused accidents while turning left at intersections fighting the transmission into 2nd gear. i have only experienced this shifting problem in 1st and 2nd gears; 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th shift very smooth for my vehicle. there is also a vibration while decelerating in 2nd and 3rd gears. i can feel it in the shifter handle, steering wheel, seat, and foot pedals. not only am i disappointed in the shifting problem with my 2012 mustang with 1,000 miles; i feel it is unsafe to drive. | |||

| 1st 2nd 3rd shifting problems 2012 mustang gt 5.o 6 speed | |||
| 06/06/2011 | 150 | ||
| Binding shift linkage, unable to shift. occurred when merging unto freeway and shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear, nearly run into by following traffic, had to coast to shoulder and nearly stop before able to shift into any gear. in addition, the transmission grinds when shifting to 5th gear. the binding linkage has occurred several more times since the initial problem. i am 67 years old and have had many vehicles in my lifetime with similiar drivetrains and have not had this type of problem with any of them. i presently own 3 other vehicles with manual transmissions, all floor shifters ( one 4 speed, one 5 speed, and one 6 speed), and they have never had this problem. i believe the linkage and transmission is defective and am returning it to the dealer in the near future for a warranty claim. i have delayed the warranty claim for several reasons,number one: the vehicle is one of six i presently own and it sees very little use and has very low miles on it, number two: i have been able to avoid damage from the grinding by skipping 6th gear, number three: the dealer is not real close to my residence so i have delayed the trip there until logging enough miles to justify an oil change at the time of investigating the grinding and linkage problem.the vehicle was purchased new on 6-1-11 and had approximately 10 miles on the odometer when received by me. the vehicle has the getrag 6 speed transmission. the spacing between gears seems excessively close and may contribute to the problem. | |||

| The transmission doesn't want to go into gear when shifting from 2-3 gear at higher rpm's. this has happened numerous times while entering traffic and have had a couple close calls. took it to ford dealer with 1200 miles on it and they said it's okay, they are all tight when new and i needed to drive it more to loosen up. now has 1800 miles and no difference. | |||

| Was turning left at approximately 35 mph to get onto hwy on ramp. had clutch in on manual transmission and stick in out of gear position during turn in anticipation of dropping to lower gear to gain acceleration. was unable to put stick into 5th gear after three attempts - seemed locked out of gear. no grinding noises like the clutch wasn't in; just like the gear slot didn't exist. i released the clutch and pushed in back in and was finally able to get the transmission into 5th gear. | |||

| Vehicle recently taken to ford dealer for the follwing complaints.... complaints: 1.) there is always a sensation of crunching when up-shifting or down-shifting into 1st, 2nd & 3rd gears. sometimes it's really bad, sometimes not so bad. 2.) it can be difficult to up-shift or down-shift into 1st, 2nd & 3rd gears. this is most common going into 2nd gear. 3.) on occasion, it is totally impossible to up-shift into 2nd gear. this is not under a skip-shift situation (engine rpm greater than 3000). 4.) occasionally there is a significant clunk which can be heard & felt in the cabin, most noticeable when engaging/disengaging the clutch at a steady, low engine rpm. notes: a.) none of the items are more or less evident if car is cold or warmed up. b.) all concerns above have been noted since ~500 miles. c.) all items seem to be getting more prominent as miles increase. d.) vehicle is not driven aggressively - all concerns occur at 3,500 rpm or less. e.) i have owned & driven manual transmission vehicles continuously for 45 years. dealer inspection results of 10/03/2011: no problems noted. | |||

| Vehicle recently taken to ford dealer for the follwing complaints.... complaints: 1.) there is always a sensation of crunching when up-shifting or down-shifting into 1st, 2nd & 3rd gears. sometimes it's really bad, sometimes not so bad. 2.) it can be difficult to up-shift or down-shift into 1st, 2nd & 3rd gears. this is most common going into 2nd gear. 3.) on occasion, it is totally impossible to up-shift into 2nd gear. this is not under a skip-shift situation (engine rpm greater than 3000). 4.) occasionally there is a significant clunk which can be heard & felt in the cabin, most noticeable when engaging/disengaging the clutch at a steady, low engine rpm. notes: a.) none of the items are more or less evident if car is cold or warmed up. b.) all concerns above have been noted since ~500 miles. c.) all items seem to be getting more prominent as miles increase. d.) vehicle is not driven aggressively - all concerns occur at 3,500 rpm or less. e.) i have owned & driven manual transmission vehicles continuously for 45 years. dealer inspection results of 10/03/2011: no problems noted. | |||

| I have a 6 speed manual transmission. it will not go into 2nd gear sometimes and when it does it's notchy and clunky (sometime it's smooth but rare). under harder accelaration it will not go into 2nd gear at all. it does not grind or anything. it just won't go in. it's like hitting a wall. i've had this happen to me several times on the street and highway. | |||

| 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. | |||

| The manual transmission in my 2011 ford mustang gt has given me problems for the past year of ownership. there have been multiple incidents where the transmission will not go into 2nd gear. the gear appears/feels to be locked out. this has happened while pulling out across on-coming traffic, and i have had numerous close calls. i also have horrible gear while/noise, and grinding shifts almost all the time. ford has rebuilt my transmission, but refuses to do anything else with the car. they claim that this is normal for this car. my wife drives the vehicle, and i fear for her safety. please help me! | |||

| Since purchase of my 2012 ford mustang v6 with manual transmission i have noticed 5th gear being notchy even with just 4 miles on it. i currently have 2715 miles on the car and have had several occasions where i have experienced grinding in the transmission in 5th and 6th gear mainly when it has been below 65 degrees farenheit out. the transmission is also difficult to shift into first and second at times but the main cause for writing this complaint is the grinding in 5th and 6th gear no matter how hard i try to be easy and go slow with shifting in the mornings when the temperature is cooler. | |||

| Shifting from 1st to 2nd, during heavy acceleration merging into fast traffic, shift could not be made - skipped 2nd going to 3rd to avoid becoming an accident. transmission shifts poorly from 1 - 2 as a rule and 3 - 2 on the down shift. suspect this is due to the mass - stored energy in the mass of the 43lb two piece drive shaft, drifting the syncro's out of alignment when the clutch is engaged - the shaft pushes the output shafts one way while the engine/clutch assy takes the input the other - stored energy in a rotating mass. additionally the inadequate design and construction of the shifter makes the gates vague to non-existant, and in the case of the 1st and 2nd, non-existant; i am frequently putting the transmission into 3rd vs 1st - no centering spring in the shifter itself, relying on the poorly designed components of the shift forks in the transmission. aftermarket solutions are to install a much higher quality shifter and one piece al drive shaft at almost 1/2 the weight and a more appropriate fluid. please get this one addressed - ford has a problem! | |||

| 6 spd manual transmission, unable to upshift to 3rd gear around 4000 rpm. had to wait until the rpms came down below 2000 before it would go into 3rd. was accelerating from an onramp and trying to merge with the 65 mph+ traffic. had to ride the shoulder for a bit until the transmission would let me shift. not safe at all. | |||

| I bought a 2012 mustang gt premium in april. starting at about 2000 miles, my car has has had a large thunk when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear, occasionally causing a lock-out. usually, this lockout occurs at low speeds (i.e. under 15 mph) or occasionally will occur when stopped this issue has been reported to the local dealership a total of 3+ times, with the first action being a replacement of the fluid per the tsb. while this improved the issue, it did not resolve it. the second time it was dropped off, one of the service consultants recognized the issue. i removed the car from the dealership since i was going on a long vacation with the car. after dropping it off the third time, the issue was recognized again (after much delay). the dealership tested another car of similar miles, which was notchy but not to the extent of my own vehicle. regardless, it was not found to be excessive. i escalated my claim through a ford service rep who subsequently called and explained that it was not excessive enough and that the dealer could not replicate the problem to the extent i experience. i proceeded to request a test drive with the other vehicle and noticed the similar feel, but none of the noise or lock-out. i agreed to drive another collection of miles, but the lock-out is still present at regular intervals, leading me to believe this is a systematic safety issue. | |||

| The car will not shift into reverse unless the transmission has reached full operating temperature. if you don't leave it in reverse overnight, you simply have to wait for the car to reach that temperature to back out of a parking spot. it is also extremely difficult to shift into 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear until the car has warmed up for 5-10 minutes. this makes it very dangerous to turn/merge into traffic if you haven't allowed the car to reach full operating temperature. i have had no issues with the transmission once the car is fully warmed up. | |||

| Shifts between 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, and 3rd to 4th can be very difficult to engage when accelerating. on many occasions multiple attempts to engage gears must be made. | |||

| Noticed a transmission leak while rotating tires. took it to my ford dealer, who examined the leak and informed me that the forward transmission seal failed. the service manager told me that they had to remove the transmission to replace the seal. unable to determine if there is internal damage to transmission. the car is 2 months old and has 5700 miles. dealer said this is happening to many mustang transmissions and there is a service bulletin. | |||

| I have a 2012 mustang with the getrag mt82 6 speed transmission with the know issue of notchy shifting and sometimes not going into gear. more than once while making a turn i found myself going to slow for second gear and when trying to go to first gear i am locked out. so i am forced to either unexpectedly slow down to a near stop to go into first which could lead to a accident, or go to second and hope i don't stall. this is a problem i have never experienced in any other manual car i have driven (2007 honda civic, and 2009 ford mustang) | |||

| 2012 mustang gt 5.0 build 2/11. shifting into 2nd gear has a little grind but feels better or completely goes away as the car warms up, also when turning shifting from 1st to 2nd has a grind no matter if the car is warmed up or not. i have also been locked out of 3rd gear under acceleration. this appears to be be a safety concern as i have to deal with an inconsistent transmission. | |||

| This vehicle is sometimes difficult to shift into gear. shifting into reverse is a challenge requiring unusually high effort to engage push-down mechanism. shifting into 1st from standstill is usually difficult and notchy, sometimes requiring me to do it all over again, even when i am blocking traffic. 1st-2nd shifting is sometimes uncertain as is 2-3, 3-4. downshifting into 3rd and 2nd grinds sometimes. clutch fully depressed fully at all times during shifts. the transmission also feels and sounds very clunky upon clutch depress/release. | |||

| Newly purchased 2012 mustang coupe v6 has unusual trouble shifting from 1st to 2nd gears on the 6 speed manual transmission.. the shifting is not smooth, and feels notched as you slide it into place. incident occurs daily, and concerns are rising for premature wear on the transmission. currently inquiries have been made with the dealership, but no action has been taken. | |||

| June, 2012 (2012 not a dropdown option). i currently own a 2012 mustang rtr, this was purchased this year in june with 300 miles on the odometer. i experenced intermittent engagement problems with the transmission with gears 1-3 either upshifting or downshifting pretty much out of the gate. what happens is the gears fail to completely syncronize with the clutch in, resulting in anything from a partial lock-in, which causes the gears to grind, or a complete failure to engage, which requires a shift to neutral and repeated clutching to get a synchronization to occur. currently the car has approximately 1500 miles and the problem continues on a completely random basis. i have not taken the car back to the dealer as nothing i do behind the wheel can make this happen at will and it wasn't until i was recently informed about the nhtsa's ongoing complaints with this issue that i thought i should voice my issues as well. while these occurances have mainly been centered around the 2011 model year and have not yet resulted in an accident, i do not wish my model year car to experience a catastrophic drivetrain failure to be considered for a recall. | |||

| I own a 2012 mustang gt with manual transmission. the car has exhibited very rough shifting about a week after purchase. additionally the clutch and drivetrain are very noisy - lot's of clangs and seemingly loose parts. the car will pop out of gear occasionally when in 1st. shifting from 1st to 2nd is sometimes smooth, sometimes very rough and sometimes grinds. attempting to shift into 2nd when making a left hand turn seems to make rough shifting worse. i was at a light making a left turn on a four lane road. i was in the left hand land with a tractor trailer to my right. the light changed and we both started moving. i tried to shift from 1st to 2nd and was not able to engage the gear and lost speed. the tractor trailer however continued with the turn and had to slam on his breaks to avoid side swiping my car. if the driver hadn't reacted, he would have hit the car. if i had a passenger in the front seat and had been hit they could have been injured or worse. this car is equipped with skip shift technology however the dashboard message that lights when it is active did not light. this car has a serious safety issue which seems to be getting progressively worse. the first time the car was brought to the dealer was for the noisy clutch/trans - they felt it was louder than normal and after discussing with them they felt it would not break down. with this most recent issue of not being able to shift into gear and a near-miss accident, i'm scheduling the car to be serviced. this is in my opinion primarily a major safety flaw and secondly a red flag for durability for the life of this drivetrain. a transmission that is grinding gears / getting locked out of gears after a couple of hundred miles can't last for what you would normally expect a transmission to last for. over the life of the car, how many more situations where you need to maneuver the car to avoid an accident will arise. how many of those times will the transmission not respond? | |||

| 2012 mustang v6 manual 6 speed transmission. hard to shift into 1st gear. stopped at a red light on pch and topanga canyon with my 3 year old in a baby daughter in the baby seat in the back behind me. i saw a driver behind me coming in too fast. i started prepping if i had to move forward into the intersection that had no traffic just in case. would not shift into 1st gear no matter what i tried. quickly i shifted into 2nd and saw the driver smash the breaks while his tires were smoking as he was approaching my rear end in a slide. car had enough power to move me forward 10 feet and avoid a collision. | |||

| Brand new 2012 ford mustang boss 302, 5.0l, mt82 6-spd transmission. my understanding is this car has a revised clutch mechanism vs. the 2011 model year. regardless, i've begun to experience the same issues 2011 model year owners report. i've owned the car less than two weeks and with less than 200 miles on the car at a stop light the transmission failed to engage into first gear fully. this results in a grinding coming from the transmission. nearly rear ended, vehicle was at a light at the end of a freeway ramp and was unable to accelerate until the car was placed into neutral and re-shifted to 1st. 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd shifts tend to be hard, rough or clunky. on occassion shifts to 5th exhibt a clunky sensation as well. at 295 miles was unable to shift into 2nd gear, you could hear the synchros winding up in the transmission during the attempt. likewise moving back to first, even at speeds of less than 5mph in this instance, resulted in a rough engagement and synchro whine from the tranny. driving in 2nd gear at 20mph and pushing the clutch in to coast results in a rattling noise intermittently. this rattling just started within the last 50 miles of driving. the build date on the vehicle was 3/31/2011. i've not yet reported this issue to my ford dealer but intend to shortly! very very worried at over $42,000 this is the most expensive vehicle i've ever purchased and am gravely concerned i may have a lemon on my hands. my previous mustang with a 5 spd manul never exhibited these tendencies. ford must resolve the issues the mt-82 6 speed transmission immeadiately or replace it with a properly designed alternate unit. i won't entertain having my special edition vehicle damaged due to a faulty transmission. likewise i understand the fix offered to 2011 owners only makes matters worse, i refuse to try anything that will worsen the current situation. deeply fearful that continued use of my 2012 vehicle will result in considerable drivetrain damage or accident. | |||
