1995 Ford Mustang transmission complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 58, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When automatic transmission is shifting from third to fourth gear vehicle unexpectedly jumps into neutral, causing a loss of acceleration while in traffic. Dealership has not examined vehicle for this problem. Please provide any additional information / documentation.
Vehicle will not shift properly while driving. Driver feels this is not safe. Please provide any further information.
Vehicle would hardly change into gear. Please provide any further information.
While traveling cruise control will unexpectedly fail. Rpms for engine will increase, causing vehicle to slow down on its own. Transmission has been rebuilt twice for this problem. Please provide any additional information / attachments.
During normal operation, transmission became stuck in second gear. Consumer was advised to have transmission rebuilt.
The specific failure of the part in automatic transmission is called torque converter. This part in the transmission is reponsible for shifting the gears. Through my personal investigations, I have found out that ford vehicles before the year 1999 have had problems with the torque converters, regardless of the make of the vehicle. With so much compelling evidence about the failure of torque converters in ford vehicles, it shocks me that there hasn't been a recall mandated by the government. Ford refuses to pay for this defect! Please help me in rendering justice.
There's a winding noise between 2nd and 3rd gears.
Head gasket failed prior to notification and was replaced, consumer was reimbursed for repiars,2 weeks later transmission went out, the mechanic advised that the transmission going out which was a result of overheating from previous head gasket problem, also transmission mounts were replaced 3 times,rebuilt torque converter.
Heater is not working.
Car shimmies at 40 MPH it is the tourque convertor not suspension as everbody thinks thunder bird also has same problem. If you have same problem e-mail me at [email protected].
Engine was leaking oil. Dealership replaced engine gasket/water pump/oil pan gasket/ transmission oil pan gasket. Consumer took vehicle to dealer, and mechanic told her that she needed a new engine. Dealership told her that engine will be in eight to ten weeks.
Consumer was traveling on the highway vehicle had a lot of hesitation when she applied gas pedal. Also, torque converted was defective. Dealership told consumer that information.
I have identical head gasket,engine,transmission and paint peeling problems as thousands of other mustang owners. I am not going to take this anymore from ford I am contacting them one last time. On april 16 I will start a public awareness campiagn in my area to inform everyone of my probelms with ford and their products. I want my car fixed . Ford knows about these probelms and will not fix them. I have a blown head gasket and no money to fix this new yard ornament.
This engine is the same as the taurus and windstar. Both vehicles engines have bullitins on their head gasket problems. The mustang has the same problems but ford refuses to do anything about this. I run synthetic oil in this car and have changed the antifreeze every 20000 miles. I change the oil at 3000 miles religiously . This is the only reason it has lasted this long. I have also had problems with the A/C brake rotors and rear differential. Ford needs to address this problem, and quite making excuses.rress/cytrh
Odometer is reading in kilometers, notin miles.
Engine head gasket failed on way to work car was towed to manteca ford and heads torn down, head gasket and additional work estimated at $2200, refused work at that time, had car repaired at later date, total cost $900. Automatic transmission/ overdrive failure while driving in town, car taken to garage 10 components repaired or replaced, total cost $1583.77. Car has only 82,000 miles on odometer and is not raced or used in a haphazard manner, it is main transportation to and from work (round trip 1.5 mi) and as travel car for vacation, has never towed another vehicle nor been in any accidents or incidents. Believe head gasket failure precipitated by electric cooling fan failure 3 mos. Prior. Fan replaced at personal cost, no problems.
Transmission started shifting hard and then the clutch start making a loud noise and start smelling. The radiator has been boiling over and I had a raditor repair shop to fix it the first time but it start getting hot again, and I took it to the ford dealer and they worked on it, but it still kept getting hot so they flushed it out and changed the thermostat which did help it a little.
The transmission sustained a cracked case, snapped input shaft, shattered tailhousing, and crushed cluster gear.
Automatic transmission failed within 50,000 miles. Will not engage 3rd gear and now requires a complete rebuild. Failure occured at 55mph when trans violently shifted from overdrive into 2nd.
When crusing between 2nd or 3rd gear the car will begin to shake like I'm going over railroad tracks. This will stop if I speed up, but many people have complained about this in ford 94-96 3.8l automatic transmissions. Please refer to http://www.alldata.tsb.com/tsb/19/95191711.html. They have info on a service bulletin (#28 dec. 98) that looks like it would describe the problem. When I'm between 3rd and 4th gear on the highway it also happens around 50 MPH. It feels like the car is going to fall apart.
This car was a ?!@#$% lemon I had nothing but problems with it buy a chevy because you might have a batter longer lasting vehicle head gasket blew grinding rear suspension the AC sucked I took it to get fixed every year it would blow out hot air I had an electrical fire under the front dash burnt up alot of wiring, bought fog lights that had to be replaced every year, transmission blew out (reverse) also I was driving and all of a sudden the front seat broke and I almost went out the side window very freaking dangerous car if you ask me I will never buy a ford ever I will tell everyone to buy something else like a chevy or some other american product I only say that because I am a union guy but to tell the truth those '!@#$%make better cars than fords ford mustangs suck they are a cheezy excuse for a so called sports car.

Intermitent loss of tourque converter during or after third and fourth transmission shift. Also, transmission is slipping.consumer contacted dealer and manufacturer.
I would like help regarding nhsta campaign id number 95v138000 referencing the problem with the speedometer/odometer reading. This identified ford mustangs (1995) manufactured between july 94 - jan. 95. The summary stated "these vehicles were built with speedometers registering spped in MPH but the odometers indicating distance in kilometers. The odometers were intended to indicate distance in miles and were not identified with the metric 'km' designation. This does not comply with fmvss no. 101, controls and displays." the end result was that ford did not have to recall the cars or notify the owners as the noncompliance did not create an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety. My problem is this. If the miles registered on the odometer are actually in kilometers than a vehicle that shows 77500 actually only has 47845 miles (77500 multiplied times a kilometer 0.62137). As this car blew out head gaskets (another problem with ford and refused to recognize on mustangs) at 77500 miles, it should still be covered under a warranty that goes until 75000 miles. As I spoke with "bill" at ford motor center (800‑392‑3673) he said that this was correct and it should be covered if my car was manufactured within that time. The door of the car is imprinted with the date jan/95. I told him this and he took the VIN number and called me back to state it should be covered, however, my car was researched and found to actually be manufactured feb. 1, 1995 and not in january, 1995. He said the metal imprint was wrong. I asked for this information in writing and he was not sure that was possible. The car does have the imprint jan, 1995 and I have the original sticker for the car which shows ship date as 1/25/95 to decker ford in clovis, ca. I do not know where else to turn. Could you please provide me with information as to your campaign id number 95v138000. Do you know any other agency to refer me to? Thank you lora mannie
Blown head gasket caused vehicle to smoke and stall, component recalled but not covered due to VIN. Nlm
Car overheated. Had thermostat replaced. Car overheated again, and had to have timing gasket replaced. Car overheated again and just had head gasket replaced in january., one month later, have to have transmission rebuilt. In all fairness to ford, they offered to pay 50% of trans. Repairs. I asked if they would pay 75% due to the fact that I can no longer afford to keep this car running properly after all the repairs I already paid for. Have not heard anything back from ford on the 75%. Car still in need of repairs. Will not go into 2nd gear and now o/d light flashes on dashboard.
While driving about 25 MPH and switching gears the transmission makes a grinding noise. Dealer told consumer that they know about the problem with the vehicle. *ak
