Where it shows how many miles it's digital and it constantly goes off. Smells of gasoline and like something is burning every time drive it. Has a very rough idle and when a /c is on the car has absolutely no power, also burns gas very quick. Exterior head lights lights are dim and I just installed new one yet still dim

The manual transmission is extremely difficult to shift from first to second gear when cold. This is a safety issue because I need to make a left turn onto a busy street when the car is cold. The difficulty in shifting has left me vulnerable as I can't accelerate as I intend and I am in danger of colliding with oncoming traffic that expects me to accelerate at a reasonable rate.

2001 cobra has bad synchros and a bad gear. The ford dealership stated that the car had more than one bad synchro and 2nd gear was bad. Only 20k miles on car. The headliner came down as well.

The main problem is the transmission failures. It has gone out three times all in the same manner. The car in bone stock and only has 13,800 miles on it. The third time a field district engineer supposedly examined it and said the the parts and workmanship appear to be fine with no flaws and declined my warranty claim. I have been through the dispute settlement board and the ks attorney general with no positive outcome. I don't understand this action especially since I work for ford(kansas city assembly plant)I have researched this problem and found out that there weere problems with the '01 transmissions as per the technical service bulletins, tsb# 14879 the federal safety agency# sb620176, so it appears that dearborn assembly and ford know of this problem but yet I'm still getting resistance????????????

Vehicle was involved in a frontal collision. Took vehicle to dealer, and dealer replaced some parts of transmission. Every 3000 miles transmission started slipping, then, gauge was stuck with rpms at 3, no matter if vehicle was stopped or driving. Please provide any further information.

Special gas/brake/clutch pedals in mustang gt bullitt edition (only) can slip out from under foot when foot pressure is applied in wet and especially soapy conditions (I.e. Car wash). Clutch pedal is especially prone to slippage. Rubber nubs on pedals can also come off with certain shoes, reducing foot-pedal friction further.

This is the 2nd mustang 5spd transmission I have purchased through the dealership and ford that has the same problem. Concerns of vibration felt through the seats,floor,and steering wheel while traveling at highway speeds! Being the 2nd vehicle, I have been battleing the dealership for a whole year and have just now been given the opportnity to meet with a ford rep.the poblem has been overseen by a ford tech. Twice with a replacement of driveshaft twice which still hasn't resolved the problem.I have testimony from othr service reps with other dealerships that state they feel there is a problem with the car and it is not the tires!(vibration that is) also mangr. And techs.at a goodyear tire shop.the dealership"s shop foreman felt the abnormal vibration on a testdrive with me and felt it was out of the ordinary,however, his service mangr. Later went on test drive and stated that he felt there was no problem. Also the ford rep. Testdrove the car and stated he felt no problem either!. The car has been repaired in the past year over 9 times for the vibration! So there was a precedent already set before the ford rep. Got involved. My concern is that I still have a vehicle that has anabnormal vibration while traveling between 65-75mph on highway, it has been documented by me, the dealership,and ford. The vibration keeps coming back and I havebeen told by reputable sources that it could be a safety issue due to the amount of abnormal wear that can happen to my tires from this abnormal vibration I told this to ford, many months ago, so they switched my tires, including the brand(from goodyear to michellins)when the ford rep. Was asked the question by me how is it that th dealer's shop foreman felt the abnormal vibration and he didn't, his response was that it all ended with him no matter who found what!!!this probably seems very convoluded but I am just expressing my concerns with regards to my safety ,as well as the safety of my fellow consumers. Thank you, [xxx]. *ak parts of this document have been redacted to pro

This vehicle is a lemon. Ford knows the transmissions are bad, but won't do anything.
