POWER TRAIN - CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
06/30/200333000304/16/2003
 I was driving and all of sudden the car lost all power which i could not turn or brake and i almost hit the pillar of a bridge. took it to ford and said they did not find any problems. the transmission has been rebuilt because of grinding in transmission. it was built 10,000 miles ago, it started doing it again. also i have talked to other mustang owners having the same problem where the camshaft position sensor codes are being thrown from the computer. nobody has figured it out yet. i took the car to ford, they told me they couldn't find what was wrong with the car...they would have to take it apart. didn't do that because i couldn't afford it. i don't understand, the car only had 49,000 miles on it, i expect the car not to give me this much trouble. *jb
