2000 Ford Mustang Power Train

WHILE CONSUMER'S WIFE WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 65 MPH REAR AXLE BROKE AND BACK LEFT TIRE BROKE OFF. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS, FORD DENIED WARRANTY. *AK *ML

THERE IS ALOT OF HISSING, GRINDING AND WHINNING NOISES COMING FORM THE TRANSMISSION (2 HAVE BEEN REPLACED), CLUTCH ASSEMBLY AND DRIVELINE (DRIVESHAFT) AREA, DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED REPAIR 4 TIMES BUT HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. NLM

REAR DIFFERENTIAL PRODUCES A WHINNING NOISE AT SPEEDS OF BETWEEN 55-60 MPH. FIVE OTHER NEW 2000 MUSTANGS WERE DRIVEN AND ALL PRODUCED THE SAME WHINNING NOISE. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE APPROX. 65MPH WHEN THE DRIVER HEARD A LOUD BANGING NOISE UNDER THE FRONT WHEEL. DRIVER STILL HAD CONTROL. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER. MECHANIC CHECKED VEHICLE & NOTICED DRIVESHAFT WAS CRACKED & NEEDED REPLACING. WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE FOR THE DRIVESHAFT & WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED. *AK

MY CAR STUCK IN REVERSE AND I COULDN'T GET THE CAR OUT OF GEAR. I HAD TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AROUND THE BLOCK BACKWARDS TO GET IT IN THE GARAGE. THEN CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND TOOK IT TO FORD. LUCKILY THIS HAPPEND IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOT ON A BUSY STREET. I OR MY PASSENGERS MIGHT HAVE BEEN INJURED BY TRAFFIC. WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. FORD SAYS THEY KNEW THAT THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM BUT DID NOT DISCLOSE THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO ME AT THE TIME OF SALE ONLY 19 DAYS AGO. THEY ARE PUTTING A NEW TRANSMISSION EVEN AS WE SPEAK.
