| About 6-8 months after i purchased my 2001 ford mustang bullitt my transmission went out and had to have it replaced because 3 gear would not engage with ease or it would slip.. ever since the shifting of gears has deteriorated.. also the rear leaks for no apparent reason the access nut seems to come loose and leak with out a cause, i have had to replace the rear nut and oil were the driveline meets the rear axle. it is very difficult to put the car in 1st or in reverse some times and when shifting between 1st 2nd and 3rd the gears stick or slip. i had a number of issues since day one with this car and it spent a lot of time in the shop the first two years i owed it and sat for a little over a year due to mechanical problem there after. i was rear ended once while trying to make a right hand turn because the car slipped out of second gear luckily the driver was able to slow down enough to only leave his license place screws imprinted in my rear bumper and no one was seriously hurt just stunned and frightened. *tr | |||

| 2001 mustang gt with automatic transmission displays an extended-hard-grinding shift from 1st gear to 2nd gear especially after making a right turn. also when cruising at normal highway speeds the transmission makes a hesitant clanking noise which jerks the car slighlty if one's foot is taken off the gas pedal for a few seconds and then clank again when speed is resumed when depressing the gas pedal. this problem began soon after purchase of the new car and still exits now with 48,000 miles on it. * cb | |||

| 2 weeks after i bought the car, i had reported problems with engine and trans and rear-end. they knew about it, but said they did not have the knowledge to work on a seleen, which that is what i was told i was buying at the time. come to find out it is no. big difference in price. on or about feb 15th 2006 the engine blew, i had parked it in their parking lot. they had my car for a total of 45 days. still no trans work or rear-end, they said to bring it back in 30 days. adding on the linkage was damaged when they had it. i had to pay other shop to fix. along with engine problems, engine light was on. since june of 2006 my car has been in the shop 10 times , totaling 55 more days. rental car cost over 2500.00 and time and mental anguish . luzzi refused me the 2nd time engine blew because the fact i am married to david harding. he is not on any contract with me. they refuse to do any warranty work on the engine they installed 9 months ago. i paid for a warranty with them for 1800.00 and i was cancelled because of the money already paid for the car. 10 months , where's the other 2 year prorated fees? the list goes on and on. *nm | |||
