At about 2000 miles I noticed the steering tending to pull to the left preventing the car from going straight down the road. It appears to happen on any road surface and was intermittent. The dealership suggested the mustangs steering is very sensitive and was responding to road conditions. They deflated the tires as well as conducting a diagnostic. As time passed the condition worsened and developed to the right as well as the left. In addition the car developed a clunk noise when the wheels were turned hard left or right, also intermittent. My dealer checked it out, saw the pulling to the right as the technician road with me, and completed an alignment. They were unable to reproduce the issue but I experienced it as I drove it off the lot following their "repair." it continues to happen and requires consistent attention to ensure that when the steering goes awry it can be corrected. The last repair was 12/2 and 12/3 and the car continues to manifest the same problem. The dealership insists that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle that they can determine. I intend to call the ford company.

As I am turning on my vehichle to go to work like normal my automatic shifter became so hard to move into gear that I had to use two hands. When I was able to select the correct gear my car kept on shaking and making a huge "clunk" noise that you can feel it by sitting in the car. The "clunk" noise became more prominent when selecting reverse from the park position. If one selects drive to reverse the noise and feel is still there just not as prominent.

Transmission thud/clunk that moves the car when going from neutral to 1st gear. Happens when going into every gear unless shifting extremely slow. The thud clunk can be heard and felt throughout the entire car.
