2017 Ford Mustang transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 23 of 23, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving home on the freeway, the weld where the clutch pedal joins the pedal assembly failed. This gave the pedal excessive lateral play and created a situation where I was intermittently unable to disengage the clutch and change gears due to the pedal binding or obstruction along its travel.
Manual transmission thumping/clunking sound when engaging into a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Happens more often when coming up o a stop and I re-engage into a gear. Feels as if something falls into place after the thump/clunk noise. Has 58,000 miles. It's intermediate, and it happens mostly on city limits. Although I have heard it when downshifting at highway limits. I am close to hitting 60,000 miles which my warranty will up very soon. I am afraid 10,000 miles from here I will be stuck with a tranny bill to pay out pocket. Ford should at least acknowledge the issue, and provide information to its dealers so they can perform surgery on the vehicle, and weed out this issue. Doesn't feel right when you spend over 30k on a car, then a quarter into their lifespan there is major power train issues.
Hello! Ford shelby gt 350's have a fatal engine flaw that will lead to the death of many owners. There is a known issue where the oil filter simply falls off the engine because the engine is prone to a ton of vibration. As a result, oil is spilled everywhere and can result in the loss of control of the vehicle due to oil hitting the tires. This has happened to me twice now, thankfully the first time I noticed it while in the garage and thus there was no risk while driving. However the second time, which occurred last night, was while I was on a windy mountain road. I am lucky to be alive right now to write the federal safety agency this letter. Right before the car completely lost oil pressure, due to the filter falling off, I noticed that the handling was off, almost as if the car had a low/flat tire. Thankfully I was going well under the rated speed limit after I noticed this or else I would have lost control of the car and likely would have gone off the side of the mountain. Please investigate this. There are numerous cases online where other owners have the same issue with the filters falling off due to vibration issues. My cars oil change has always been done by the dealership (two different ford ones just to ensure this isn't a case of a bad technician). There have been cases where people are on the race track with these vehicles and the same issue happens. It will save many people's lives if these vehicles are recalled.
The transmission is faulty. I have replaced the clutch flywheel twice and it continues break.
Clutch failed in 3rd gear while traveling down a four lane street. Car stalled in traffic and would not restart. Almost caused an accident with driver following vehicle due to sudden stall. Car would not restart due to being stuck in gear. Recently received service at two ford dealerships. Notified dealers of strong burning smell coming from car and noise being made by transmission in 2nd and 3rd gear. Was informed that the problem was remedied. Two days later, car stalled in traffic and clutch pedal fell to the floor and stuck there.
This is a 435hp sports car with a manual transmission. The car was used to commute on the interstate where there was little shifting. At 26,000 the clutch completely came out of the car and left me stranded on the side of the road. When the clutch failed, I had down shifted into 5th gear to pass a car and when I attempted to shift back into 6th gear, the transmission would not go into gear and I had to coast the car onto an exit ramp. The ford dealership LED me to believe this clearly was premature wear and would be warrantied, but when I went to pick up the car, I was presented with a $1700 bill because it was normal wear and tear. Normal wear and tear for a car's clutch with that much power from the that is used for commuting to fail at 26,000 miles. I do not believe that. Seems to me there is a drive train issue.
Driving on a flat road then drive up a hill it takes longer to go into gear. Takes longer to shift. Loss of power
Car makes a clunck when shifting gears. So bad you can feel it though the seat. Looks like many other people are having similar issues. It does it sitting still and moving.
Whenever I take off and while I'm driving shifting gears the car makes a thud or thump sound. When I first put it into gear it makes the thud sound and it continues throughout second and third even fourth gear. It's odd because no other car that I've owned has done this and I do not think it's normal.
Car started leaking oil at 2,800 miles, being repaired at dealership
Car has audible clunking noise when shifting from gear to gear. Manual transmission.
