The clutch is slipping at only 10,000 miles, the car cant even make it up a gentle grade with the cruise control on ! It cannot maintain speed it cant handle when you give gas to accelerate to freeway speed when entering the onramp to freeway. This has to be the slowest shelby on the road.

Affected parts: clutch. The clutch has required replacement (slipping) three times in 44,571 miles. First problem occurred at approx. 10,000 miles (replaced by ford under warranty). The second problem occurred at approx. 24,000 miles (replaced by ford under warranty). The third problem occurred at 44,571 miles and ford is refusing to do anything, the ford premium care extended warranty refuses to honor the extended warranty. They now claim it is a "maintenance" issue. My vehicle is a 2007 shelby mustang gt500 and it is not listed in the above drop down box.

The first indication that there was a problem was when the car would not shift into reverse. I noticed this and mentioned it to the service writer when the car was in for a routine oil change. I was told to try different things to get it to go into reverse more easily. Soon after the reverse issue I started the have problems shifting into gear while driving. The car would not shift into the next gear at times. At some point the car started to slip out of gear while accelerating. This can be dangerous when merging into traffic. I at first thought maybe I was at fault, but soon realized that the problem was with the car. When I investigated the problem I found out that this is a known defect. There was a tsb put out on the model years 2007-2009. Ford never informed us the issues with the transmission and/or clutch. Now they tell us that our 3/36,000 warranty has run out, so that if the clutch is part of the problem it won't be covered. Ford should have informed the owners of this potentially dangerous defect in the car. They obviously knew about it, and did repair many of them. I realize that the newer model years are also having these issues. There should be a recall put out on these cars. There are many shelby gt 500 owners who may not know about this safety issue.

Approx. The 10th of june, 2 weeks before my first anniversary of having purchased my 2007 ford shelby gt-500 cobra, I began noticing some slippage in the transmission during acceleration for passing, etc. I didn't pay much attention to it to begin with, but the slipping steadily worsened. I only work 3 miles from home, so my opportunities to experience the revving and then slippage didn't come up as often as one may perceive. I took it to the local dealership about june 23rd, at which time they checked things out and called me back a few hours later. The first call from the service rep. Told me that the "clutch was almost totally worn-out, and must be replaced." he said he also needed to check on the transmission/flywheel assembly and get back to me shortly. About an hour later his second "call of doom" told me that the flywheel and trans. Would also need replacing. I didn't worry a whole lot, not until I checked my "purchase date" and discovered that my top of the line, a-1, car of the year had elapsed the 12 month mark about one week prior to this discovery! At this time, my top of the line shelby cobra had exactly 10,345 miles on it!! I spoke with the mgr. And asked for a "waiver" since the problems had actually started prior to the expiration of the 12/12,000 warranty. I was told that...in this case...that "waiver" or "free pass" on my having gone 6.5 days past the warranty exp. Wouldn't mean anything anyway! Why? Well, it seems, the flywheel, transmission, and clutch all fall under the broad and all encompassing term of "normal wear and usage", kind of like tires, wiper blades, etc. My question was (and still is) "please tell me why ford's top-of-the-line, car of the year, etc. Has a flywheel/trans./clutch assembly that doesn't even last one calendar year?" nobody has yet to answer that query .but guess who had to shell out $2850 in repair fees?? Me! The same fellow who was so proud to be driving the latest, greatest ford mustang ever produced/sold!
