My car idles uncontrollable and jerks whenever it is driven. If I stop or drive at slow speeds it will just stop running on its own. I simply restart it and it will go, but it will keep jerking and idling.

I started to notice that once I hit a steady 30-35 MPH (on the streets) it hesitates to accelerate. Then it jerks and im running normal again. Took it to the transmission mechanic. He said my trans fluids are fine, however, my pan is "burnt". I do fine on the freeway. Its mostly when im driving through the streets and stop and go at lights. He ran some codes and the results were the "gear 5 incorrect ratio and the solenoid" ---something(sorry). He said to overhaul a trans I would be looking at $1800+. *kb

My car started jerking when I put in reverse and drive. While drive I hear a rattling noise underneath the gear shift. I took the car to the dealer and they stated the transmission had a loose solenoid box and that it needed tightening for $900. Also at lower speeds I feel the car slipping especially on turns.

I was stopped at a light when my wrench light came on. I tried to drive but my vehicle was jerking really bad. I prayed driving down the access road that I would just make it to the dealership 10 miles away. I pulled in shut the vehicle off. They kept my car overnight and when I picked it up the next day they could not find anything wrong with it and when they turned it on no wrench light. One week later, my car did this again...except this time I left my vehicle on so they could see the wrench light. They replaced the fuel pump...faulty. Only had 20,000 miles on my 2006 mustang v6. Now it is nov. And my manual transmission is gone. After owning 6 standard vehicles this is the first time I have ever had a clutch go out. Dealership said I got the last part in the us...backordered till march 2008. I have since gone to pick up my vehicle 2 times...first time we stood in line to be told that they had test driven it again and they had to re-do the job. Went to pick it up last night and almost got stranded with my two kids because it was not drivable. First it was stuck in 1st gear...had to turn the car completely off to put it in neutral. So then I tried to put it in first and no luck. Then I tried one last time got it to move about 20 yards forward before I noticed there was a loud clunking noise coming from under the hood. This was at 9pm...called this morning at 11am and was told my car was ready and it was the starter. Yeah right. Got one invoice last night only need two more before they buy my lemon back!! Wish me luck!
