FORD RECALLED 202,000 VEHICLES AND HAS A TSB FOR THE BULKHEAD CONNECTION LEAKAGE IN TRANSMISSION, HOWEVER MY YEAR 2011 WAS NOT, HOWEVER I JUST PAID OVER 600 FOR THE REPAIR AND COULD'VE BEEN KILLED HAD ALL THE FLUID LEAKED OUT. I THINK FORD NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL VEHICLES, NOT JUST CHERRY PICK PARTICULAR YEAR MODEL. MINE IS ONLY ONE YEAR OFF AND IT SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL OR PERHAPS ANOTHER INFAMOUS "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" SUCH AS THEY DID WITH THE THROTTLE CONTROL BODY ISSUES. DANGEROUS! CAR DOWNSHIFTED WHILE I WAS DOING 70 ON I-12

2011 FORD MUSTANG. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNATTENDED VEHICLE ROLL-AWAY. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE PARKED THE VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE. A FEW MINUTES LATER, HE HEARD A NOISE AND WHEN HE OPENED THE GARAGE, HE DISCOVERED HIS VEHICLE WAS TIGHT AGAINST THE GARAGE DOOR. WHEN HE OPENED THE DOOR TO THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND NOT IN PARK, ALTHOUGH THE KEY WAS NOT IN THE IGNITION. UPON FURTHER EVALUATION, THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THE KEY COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION IN ANY SHIFTER POSITION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FLOOR SHIFTER. *JB

I HAVE EXPERIENCED AT HIGH RPMS SWITCHING FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO GO IN GEAR ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.AND ALSO 3RD TO 4TH..DEALER SAYS IT'S COMMON AT TIMES.AFTER MONTHS OF DEALING WITH THIS ISSUES 5TH GEAR IS GRINDING AND IS AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AT MY EXPENSE.

MY VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION OF ANY KIND INTERMITTENTLY. THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN MY FOOT IS OFF THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN I PULL OVER AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT HESITATES LOUDLY. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT IT STARTS FINE AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO. THE TECH SAID IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

I'VE NEVER HAD SIMILAR ISSUE BEFORE THIS. I WAS ACCELERATING SLOWLY AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 20-30 MPH WHEN THE CAR LURCHED, THE "TRACTION CONTROL" LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE THE CAR AT ALL. I WAS FORCED TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR AND THE ENGINE TURNED A FEW EXTRA TIMES BUT DID START. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME (WITHIN 0.5 MILE) AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS. OVER THE NEXT DAY I TESTED THE CAR ON BACK ROADS: IT FREQUENTLY REQUIRED THE ENGINE TO TURN EXTRA IN ORDER TO START, AND IT SEEMED THAT WHENEVER I TRIED TO ACCELERATE TOO RAPIDLY THE PROBLEM RETURNED AND I WAS FORCED TO COAST/BRAKE TO A STOP AND RESTART THE ENGINE. IF I ACCELERATED VERY SLOWLY I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR BUT AT NO POINT COULD I PASS 20-30 MPH. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILURE BASED ON EEC TEST AND CODE P2112. THEY NOTED A STUCK ETB ACTUATOR AND ETB ACTUATOR BINDING CAUSING SYSTEM TO GO INTO FAILSAFE MODE. THE ETB ASSEMBLY AND FULL THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED AND THE CAR DRIVES WELL NOW. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF I HAD BEEN ON A MAJOR FREEWAY OR A HILL (AS ARE FREQUENT IN MY AREA) I COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS INJURY. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT AWARE OF OR DID NOT OFFER ANY EXTENDED WARRANTIES FOR DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODIES OR SENSORS AND IF THIS EXISTS I AM INTERESTED TO PURSUE REIMBURSEMENT OF THE COST OF MY REPAIRS AND LABOR. *TR

WHEN SLOWING TO TURN LEFT INTO A PARKING LOT WAITING FOR TRAFFIC IN THE OTHER DIRECTION TO PASS SO THAT I COULD SAFELY TURN...ONCE IT IS SAFE TO TURN, WHEN I STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THERE IS A VERY SLOW RESPONSE TIME FOR THE VEHICLE TO START ACCELERATING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THAT THE CAR WON'T GET OUT OF THE WAY QUICKLY. IT HESITATES FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS AFTER I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEFORE ANY ACCELERATION. THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN THE CONDITION THAT I DON'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE TURNING. IF I SLOW TO APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH OR LESS AND THEN PRESS THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE INTO THE TURN, THAT IS WHEN THERE IS A DELAYED RESPONSE. *TR

AROUND 17000 MILES THE VEHICLE CLUTCH PEDAL TOOK A FEW SECONDS TO DISENGAGE WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD ON HIGHER RPMS. ALSO, WHEN SHIFTING INTO 2ND AND 3RD AT 3-4K RPMS, I WOULD FEEL A NOTCHING FEEL ON THE SHIFTER FROM THE TRANSMISSION LIKE IF IT FEELING A FEW TEETH FROM THE TRANSMISSION'S GEARS OR SYNCROS. I AM STILL NOT SURE, DEALERSHIPS STILL HAVEN'T OPENED THE TRANSMISSION TO FIND OUT. CAR JUST HIT 36000 MILES, FOUND OUT THEIR WAS A RECALL OR WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THE PEDAL ISSUE, IF CAR UNDER 36000 MILES. WAS NEVER INFORMED FROM PRECIOUS VISITS. DRIVER SEAT ALSO STOP WORKING COMPLETE, DOESN'T MOVE ANYWAY. *TR

AT HIGH RPM'S IN 2ND GEAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 3RD TWICE THIS HAPPENED. ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS NOTICED 3RD WAS LIKE NEUTRAL SO I WOULD HAVE TO GO FROM SECOND TO FOURTH THEN IN DOING THAT 4TH GEAR WAS HAVING ISSUES WHETHER I'M UP SHIFTING OR DOWNSHIFTING 3RD AND 4TH NO LONGER WORK UNDER ANY CONDITION THEY FEEL LIKE NEUTRAL SO NOW I ONLY CAN US 1,2,5,6 I NO LONGER HAVE A 3 AND 4 . SO WHILE AT TRACK CAR NEVER WENT PASSED SECOND AND THE DRIVE HOME WAS MISSING 2 GEARS JUST LIKE THAT. *TR

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY IS DEFECTIVE. THE CAR LOSES POWER AND NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS, BUT THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OFF. I HAVE PULLED OVER AND THE CAR SHAKES PRETTY VIOLENTLY. ONCE I TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE FOR A WHILE BUT EVENTUALLY DOES IT AGAIN. GOT THE CODE P2111. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED 11/29/2013/ WITH 21851 MILES ON IT . I QUESTIONED THE FUNCTIONING OF MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITHIN 2 DAYS OF DELIVERY WITH PROBLEMS SUCH AS NOTCHINESS IN GEAR SHIFTER / REVERSE, 1ST, 2ND AND GRINDING INTO 3RD GEARS. VEHICLE SENT TO FORD. I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK ON 12/02/13, 25978 MILES; WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER FORD TSB- TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE DID PRESENT WITH SOME IMPROVEMENT. JANUARY 11 2013, RETURNED THE VEHICLE BACK TO FORD/ PROBLEMS AGAIN WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I EXPERIENCED GEARS GRINDING FROM PARK POSITION IN ATTEMPT TO SHIFT GEARS FROM REVERSE TO 1ST TO 2ND, MAJOR GRIND FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEARS. FURTHERMORE; DUE TO AWKWARDNESS OF THE DISPLACEMENT OF THE CLUTCH PEDAL ( I AM 5'3 ) THE VEHICLE WILL ONLY FUNCTION WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS DISPLACED COMPLETELY DOWN TO THE FLOOR BOARD WHICH MAKES MY SAFETY VULNERABLE CONSIDERING I HAVE TO ELECTRONICALLY ( ELECTRIC SEATS) PLACE MY SEAT FORWARD RESULTING IN BODY POSITIONED TOO CLOSE TO PROXIMITY OF THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY KNEES LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 2 INCHES FROM THE DASH BOARD. UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE, THE SEAT MUST BE POSITIONED BACKWARDS IN ORDER TO EXIT .TRANSMISSION ISSUES WAS ADDRESSED BY FORD/ EXTENSIVE TRANSMISSION WORK WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. AGAIN THE VEHICLE WAS IN FORD'S SHOP FROM 1/11/14 TO 3/10/2014...ALMOST 8 WEEKS!!. JUNE 28, 2014 APPROXIMATELY 32300 MILES ON IT, MY VEHICLE IS ONCE AGAIN BACK TO FORD DUE TO NOTCHINESS OF REVERSE, FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD GEARS/ CLOSE SEATING ISSUES ADDRESSED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE WRENCH WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED UNTIL IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WOULD IDLE ROUGHLY AND BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO RESTART. THE PROBLEM RECURRED APPROXIMATE FOUR TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

THE FORD VEHICLE SHOWED THE FOLLOWING SIGNS AT THE TIME OF SHIFTING INTO HIGHER GEARS, TRANSMISSION FAILING TO SYNCHRONIZE, SLOW REACTION, HARSH SHIFTS, GRINDING GEAR NOISES AT LOW AND HIGH RPM. *TR

DOCUMENTATION ON THIS VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY POSTED ON 12/5/13. AS NOTED; ONGOING TO TRANSMISSION/ CLUTCH PROBLEMS POST TSB REPAIRS CONTINUE. MY VEHICLE REQUIRES THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO BE ENGAGED COMPLETELY DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD DURING THE INITIAL KEY START PROCESS, THEREAFTER; THE CLUTCH PEDAL MUST BE ENGAGED AT A MINIMUM TO FLOORBOARD TO THE MAXIMUM OF APPROXIMATELY 1 -2 INCHES OFF FLOORBOARD. DUE TO MY HEIGHT ( 5'3"), I AM NOT COMFORTABLE SEATED SO CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT POSSIBLE BODILY HARM OR INJURY DUE TO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT BEYOND POTENTIALLY COMMON INJURIES DUE TO AIR BAG BURNS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO EXPLORE THE OPTION OF CLUTCH PEDAL ADJUSTMENT, TO NO AVAIL . I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THE CLUTCH IS HYDRAULIC, THEREFORE CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED TO ACCOMMODATE. I PERSONALLY HAVE OWNED SEVERAL MANUAL TRANSMISSION DRIVEN VEHICLES WHICH INCLUDE PAST OWNERSHIP OF A FORD MUSTANG GT CONVERTIBLE WITHOUT THESE ISSUES OR PROBLEMS. *TR

THE CAR BEGAN SPUTTERING AND THEN THE ENGINE DIED AFTER PULLING OFF OF THE INTERSTATE. THE WRENCH LIGHT FLASHED AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE CAR WAS ANALYZED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND DIAGNOSED WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY ACTUATOR AS THE PROBLEM. THERE CURRENTLY IS NO RECALL. THE LABOR AND PART WERE $430.16 I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED BY FORD FOR THIS SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS FORTUNATE THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME. THE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THERE WAS A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE CAR LOST POWER AND A WRENCH ICON SHOWED UP ON DASHBOARD. I WAS DRIVING AND MANAGE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART IT THE START SWITCH GOT STUCK AND IT WOULDN'T START. I HAD TO TRY TWICE BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR TO MAKE IT HOME. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENS. I HAD BROUGHT IN THE CAR FOR SERVICE, BACK AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, MORE THAN FOUR TIMES TO THE DEALER WHERE I GOT IT FROM ROUNTREEMOORE IN LAKE CITY, FL. THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT ( FEELS NOTCHY ) TO SHIFT GEARS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS NOT A FACTOR. THE PROBLEM IS CONSTANT REGARDLESS TO OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES. OCCASIONALLY GEARS GRIND WHEN SHIFTING AT HIGHER RPMS. VEHICLE DOES NOT SEEM TO GRAB INTO GEAR COMPLETELY ONE GEARS ARE SHIFTED FROM FIRST THROUGH THIRD GEARS. IN ADDITION TOO: VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO STEER/ VEHICLE SEEMS TO DRIFT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF ROADWAY. *TR
