I began experiencing problems with my mustang several months ago. I was unable to get any assistance and thought I was very strange this car would experience a problem like this due to it's mileage and age. The car would shudder at exact speed intervals and vibrate. I have put the car in for service and found this website. I then found the problem listed on your website. I have written a letter to the mfg. And am very upset car owners were not notified about this problem. It could have saved me time and money. I feel ford is responsible and that this is a defective part/assembly.

Ordered vehicle in 1994, had it 2 days when a rattling started from underneath, was an untightened bolt. In summer/1995, A/C didn't work. In spring/1996, transmission was vibrating on inclines at 25 to 30 MPH. In spring/summer 1997, transmission was causing tactometer to race to 3000rpm when only going 25 MPH. In winter of 2000, vehicle overheated, replaced thermostat twice. After overheating 3 times, and finally having to be towed, it was the head gasket causing pressure to build within the cooling system forcing coolent out of the overflow reserve. Mechanic saw this only happen in 3 other vehicles.
Was driving on freeway when transmission kept slipping while shifting into gear. Vehicle started to slowdown. Kept applying gas. Took to dealership & mechanic indicated transmission needed to be replaced due to slippage.
While driving vehicle slips out of gear which may cause a crash. Please provide further information.

The automatic transmission will appear to slip out of over-drvie into neutral at higher speeds. When this occurs the engine RPM will increase by approximately 3000 RPM. Also at slower speeds the shift between 1st & 2nd has been so hard that it feels as if you have been hit in the rear. The slow speed problem has occurred only 2 times. The high speed problem occurs quite regularly.

Transmission downshifts form od to 3rd or neutral causing RPM to go high creating a dangerous situation when in traffic.

Car would loose power to the transmission when cold causing car to not accelerate when entering traffic situations.
Since original purchase, automatic transmission has been having problems. Dealer couldn't find problem. Once problem was found warranty expired.
I have had this transmission rebuilt by ford 2 times so far and this same problen keeps occurring, and it shudders on acceleration and while overdrive is engaged it will upshift and down shift in between 3 and 4 gear does really not matter what speed you are traveling for this to happen ..... Should the manufacturer be held reposible for this problem as to make it a recall ??? This problem has occured between 23,000 miles and then again around 35,000 miles.
This vehicle is experiencing the same problem as recall #95v138000 in the federal safety agency data base, the odometer reads miles, but it is regeistered in kilometers. Dealer has been contacted.
The service center where my vehicle is being serviced said that the blown head is a very common problem in the 3.8l engine.they said they feel this is caused because the heads are aluminum and the block is cast iorn.
I have experienced two separate problems with my ford mustang gt. Both problems have been "repaired" while the vehilce was under warranty, however, I feel that the actions taken were only sufficient to carry the vehicle through the warranty period. The largest problem that I have experienced has been with my antilock brakes. On six different occasions I have had my vehicle in the shop at ford dealers for repairs to my antilock brakes. The typical prognosis was that a sensor needed to be changed. Ironically, once the vehcile was out of warranty, due to age, the antilock brake failure required a new module costing approximately $1,200. I pleaded my case with ford on this expense and they agreed to pick up the cost of the repair. No later than 4 months had passed and the problems continued. I procrastinated some four to five months prior to having the vehicle returned to the same dealership for repairs to the antilock brakes. This time the problem was different and would cost $1,100. Again I pleaded
Torque convertor went out when I first bought it then a year later it went out again
Due to the defective torque converter, the automatic transmission malfuctioned, causing the vehicle to stall, which may cause an accident. Dealer replaced the torque converter. Problem reoccurring. Dealer cannot determine problem. Please provide details.
Transmission malfunction.
Vehicle started trembling when shifting from 3rd to 4th gear at approximately 30-40 MPH. Torque converter in the automatic transmission has a problem. Problem is worst and the transmission engages into reverse when starting from a stop.
Transmission torque converter failed.
When the car is in fourth gear/overdrive, it shifts itself into neutral and jerks forward. The RPM goes up to 3500. Dealer states it's a transmission problem w/ torque converter, and cannot duplicate the problem.
While driving,the vehicle slows down when shifting. Dealer can't find the problem. *ak consumer states that there is an unexpected loss of speed due to the transmission shift delay in shifting, this has almost caused a collision.
Air bag light blinks and then stays on continuously.
Automatic transmission failure.
