2012 Ford Mustang Power Train

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 70MPH AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT,AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ALL CAME ON THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, THE TIRE SENSOR WENT CRAZY , CAR LOST ALL SPEED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT GOT TO SIDE OF ROAD TURNED CAR OFF RESTARTED IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW MILES THEN EVERYTHING HAPPENED AGAIN. CALLED FORD AND THEY HAD ME TAKE IT TO DEALER FOR CHECK WAS TOLD IT IS THE LEADFRAME IN THE TRANSMISSION AND FORD HAS RECALLED OTHER FORD MUSTANG VEHICLES SAME YEAR AS MINE FOR SAME PROBLEM BUT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ANYONE WHO HAS ONE NEEDS TO BE CHECKED IN ALL THE CARS

AT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ALLOW A GEAR CHANGE FROM FIRST TO SECOND IF THE RPM IS GRATER THAN 6000 RPM. THE CLUTCH PEDDLE RELEASES AT THE FLOOR. AFTER THE ENGINE HAS SLOWED THE CLUTCH RETURNS TO NORMAL AND THE CAR CAN NOW BE SHIFTED INTO SECOND. IT MAY BE CAUSED BY TROUGH OUT BEARING OR SPRING TENSION ON THE CLUTCH ITS SELF. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR 3 MONTHS AGO. THE CAR ONLY HAS 46000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE READ OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME COMMON PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FRIENDLY FORD (660 N DECATUR BLVD, LAS VEGAS, NV 89107 (800) 928-7190), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED DUE TO THE DIAGNOSTIC FEES. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V348000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

THE TRANSMISSION DOWNGEARS CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER WHILE IN MOTION. IT OCCURS AT LOW SPEED AND AT HIGH SPEED. ALARMING WHEN TRAVELING ON AN EXPRESSWAY AT 55 MPH.

SINCE I'VE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW I HAVE HAD RANDOM ISSUES WITH THE CAR. FIRST I'VE EXPERIENCED A HUGE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION, IT MAKES A VIBRATING/SHAKING PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING ON ANY STREET ANY SPEED. I HAVE OPERATED MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS BEFORE AND HAVE NEVER RAN ACROSS THIS. NO MATTER WHAT GEAR OR WHAT CONDITION IT CONSISTENTLY DOES THIS. FORD DEALER WAS TO NO HELP AT ALL. AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL START TO UNCONTROLLABLY SWERVE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STARTS BLINKING, THIS ISSUE IS UNKNOWN TO ME WHY THIS HAPPENS AND HAS ALMOST PUT ME IN AN ACCIDENT. SECONDLY, THE ENTIRE IGNITION TUMBLER JUST POPPED OUT. I CAN PULL THE IGNITION OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,999.

2012 MUSTANG ONLY HAS 35,000 MILES AND WATER PUMP WENT OUT. DEALER STATES IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY! LUCKILY IT WENT OUT WHILE PARKED IN THE GARAGE AT HOME AND NOT ON A TRIP! ANTIFREEZE WAS EVERY WHERE WHEN I WENT TO GET IN THE CAR THE NEXT MORNING. THANKFULLY I SAW IT BEFORE OUR PETS DID!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A LEAD FRAME ISSUE IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,646.

I HAVE A 2012 MUSTANG GT WITH 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT THE CAR AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CAR AT ABOUT 2,500 MILES. THE CAR AT THAT POINT HAD A DEALER RE-BUILT TRANSMISSION AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT HAS 2ND THROUGH 6TH GEAR REPLACED DUE TO A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. SINCE THAT TIME I'VE HAD MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND THE CAR NOW HAS ABOUT 49,000 MILES. IN EARLY JANUARY, IT BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO 1ST GEAR. IT WAS VERY STIFF AND TOOK A LOT OF FORCE TO GET IT INTO 1ST. SHIFTING TO 2ND GEAR RESULTED IN A GEAR-MASHING SOUND. 3RD GEAR SOUNDED LIKE A LOUD CLUNK. 4TH THROUGH 6TH GEARS WERE FINE. THESE INCIDENTS BECAME WORSE AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE 2 DIFFERENT ACCIDENTS BY NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS IN TRAFFIC. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN THE NORTH ATLANTA, GA AREA AND THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR. THEIR TRANSMISSION TECH BELIEVED IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SYNCHRONIZERS. THE TECH DID NOT BELIEVE HE HAD THE EXPERTISE TO WORK ON THIS ISSUE AND REFERRED ME TO ANOTHER FORD DEALERSHIP. ON 1/14/16 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE 2ND DEALERSHIP AND THEIR TECH AGREED IT WAS THE SYNCHRONIZERS. THAT DEALERSHIP TOOK ABOUT 1 WEEK TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS. AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE ISSUE WAS NOT SOLVED; LOUD SOUNDS WERE COMING OUT OF THE REAR OF THE CAR. OVER THE PAST 2 WEEKS, THEY'VE ORDERED NUMEROUS REPLACEMENT PARTS. AS OF TODAY, 2/9/16, THERE ARE PARTS THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND ARE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THE ETA FOR THE PARTS IS NOW 2/24/16. I'VE READ ABOUT SIMILAR ISSUES OTHER MUSTANG OWNERS WITH THIS SPECIFIC 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION HAVE HAD AND PERSONALLY CAN SAY IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY WARNING FOR THE DRIVER. THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND NEW TRANSMISSIONS INSERTED AS A WHOLE UNIT VS. INSTALLING MULTIPLE PARTS. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE ME TO EXPERIENCE DIMINISHED VALUE AT RESALE.

2012 FORD MUSTANG TRANSMISSION FAILURE. AT 61,499 THE VEHICLE AT A STOP ENTERING THE ROADWAY THE VEHICLE LURCHED AFTER A HARD SLAM IN THE TRANSMISSION THE RPMS WENT CRAZY AND THE VEHICLE SLOWLY ROLLED INTO THE ROADWAY. THE SERVICE WRENCH LIGHT UP AND THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY GO 20 MPH. TOWED TO DEALER AND TOLD THE REPAIR WOULD COST $5600 - $5900. SERVICE DID NOT NOTIFY US OF THE SERVICE RECALLS. WARRANTY ENDED AT 60,000.

MY CAR HAS GONE INTO 'LIMP' MODE SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED ME THAT THE ISSUE IS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, AND IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THIS PART HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR SEVERAL OTHER FORD MODEL VEHICLES - BUT NOT THE MUSTANG AND THEY WON'T COVER IT. IT'LL COST ME $570 TO GET THE PART REPLACED IN MY VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING - AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS - INCLUDING GOING 65+ MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY.

YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THE 2012 MUSTANG HAS A DEFECTIVE PART CALLED A THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. FORD IS AWARE IT IS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THEY WERE REPLACING THIS PART FREE OF CHARGE PRIOR TO JANUARY 2015. CURRENTLY IT IS NOT UNDER A SAFETY RECALL BUT IT MOST CERTAINLY SHOULD BE. WHEN YOU DRIVE A CAR WITH THIS DEFECT YOUR CAN AN ACCELERATE, OR DECELERATE, AT ITS OWN WILL. IT DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE COMMANDS THE DRIVER GIVES. IT JUST SUDDENLY SLOWS OR SPEEDS UP AS IT LIKES. IF YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS IT MAY BE HARD TO UNDERSTAND HOW UNSAFE THIS CAN BE. IT IS NOT NAN EXPERIENCE I RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. FORD DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A PROBLEM, BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR AS A RESULT. TRY TOOLING ALONG I-95 AT 65 MILES PER HOUR AND HAVING YOUR CAR SUDDENLY SLOW AND SHUDDER ALMOST TO A STOP...FUN TIMES. THIS DEFECT CREATES AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION THAT 100% UNACCEPTABLE AND YOU REALLY SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEONE, (LIKE ME) GETS KILLED. I AM SURE SOMEONE HAS ALREADY HAD ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

AFTER WAITING AT A LIGHT IN THE LEFT TURN LANE, I STARTED ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, SLOWLY INTO MY LEFT TURN. AT ALMOST COMPLETION OF THE TURN, MY TACHOMETER WENT FROM 3000 RPMS TO OVER 6000 RPMS. THE CAR HAD A SUDDEN JOLT AT THIS MOMENT AND THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP. I WENT INTO A SLIDE AND THE CAR SLID ACROSS 2 LANES INTO A TREE FILLED MEDIAN. THE CAR WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THERE WERE NO FACTORS THAT COULD INFLUENCE SUCH A CRASH, AS THE ROAD WAS DRY, IT HADN'T RAINED. THE ROAD WAS WELL PAVED. FINALLY, SPEED WASN'T A FACTOR IN THE CRASH. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE DOWNSHIFTS IN GEARS, HOWEVER AFTER A RECENT RECALL WE REALIZED WHAT HAD HAPPENED.

FORD REFUSING TO ACCEPT RECALL FOR CAR; CAR HAS ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME. THE CAR WILL BE DRIVING AND WILL "HARD SHIFT" RANDOMLY. THE SPEEDOMETER GOES CRAZY AND I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN OR TURN OFF THE CAR FOR IT TO GO AWAY. RECALL EXISTS FOR MY MODELS TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME ( I BELIEVE I MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS ) ISSUED IN APRIL 2016, BUT IT IS NOT APPEARING FOR THE VIN OF THE VEHICLE. IF I DO NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS IT SHOULD BE EXTENDED FOR MY CAR.

WHILE ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AND THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK, THEN THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED INTO 3RD GEAR, AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 3RD GEAR UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED, AND THE ENGINE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ONE WHEN IT OCCURS. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED A RECALL NOTICE BEFORE THEY CAN FIX IT. I'M OUT OF WORK AND DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. RIGHT NOW, WE ARE DRIVING IT AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE SHIFTING INTO A HIGHER GEAR AT 7000 - 7500 RPM THE CLUTCH PEDDLE DID NOT RETURN TO THE FULLY ENGAGED POSITION AND THE CLUTCH DID NOT FULLY ENGAGE. AFTER DRIVING 1 OR 2 MILES THE SITUATION CORRECTED ITSELF. MANUAL 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND 5.0L V-8 ENGINE. BOSS 302 MODEL. SEVERAL PHONE CONTACTS WITH FORD AND FORD RACING RESULTED IN THEIR INDICATION OF NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE CLUTCH STICKING PROBLEM. 2 FORD DEALERS I SPOKE TO ALSO CLAIMED TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS SITUATION.

I TOOK MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG (62,000 MILES) TO A FORD DEALER TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED. THEY TALKED ME INTO A TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE, BECAUSE IT WOULD "EXTEND THE LIFE OF MY VEHICLE". WHEN I PICKED IT UP, IT WAS NOT RUNNING RIGHT. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED SOME SENSORS AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. I MADE IT HOME BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START THE NEXT MORNING. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, AFTER THEM ATTEMPTING TO FIX IT 3 TIMES AND IT STILL NOT BEING FIXED, THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND IT STILL MAKING A LOUD NOISE CHANGING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. I SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON SOME 2012 MUSTANGS FOR A POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. IN ADDITION, THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS DIFFICULT TO SHIFT INTO VARIOUS POSITIONS. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MULTIPLE DEALERS WHO WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

OPEN LEAVING WORK FOR THE DAY MY SECOND GEAR SYNCO IN MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED LEAVING THE PARKING LOT. THEREFORE I NO LONGER HAD 2ND GEAR. SO I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER WHERE THEY WHERE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IN TURNED FIX 2ND GEAR BUT MESSED UP MY REVERSE SYNCO GEAR NOW. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR ALMOST 4 WEEKS AND FORD WONT MAKE A SURPLUS OF PART FOR THIS TRANSMISSION THAT THE PARTS NEEDED ARE ON BACK ORDER UNTIL APRIL 20TH 2015. *TR

AS I WAS TRYING TO PUT MY CAR INTO 3RD GEAR IT WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR. SO I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN IN ORDER TO PUT IT IN 2ND GEAR. ANOTHER TIME I HAD TO GO INTO 4TH. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME. *JS

TODAY WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE AT A INTERSECTION AND SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T LET ME INTO 2ND. NOW IF THIS JUST HAPPENED ONCE I WOULD LET IT GO BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE CONSIDERING IT CAUSES MY CAR TO SLOW WHILE I'M TRYING TO GET INTO GEAR WITH TRAFFIC COMING AT ME. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

I HAD JUST LEFT MY HOUSE AND PULLED OUT ONTO THE ROAD. AS THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR SUDDENLY SHOOK AND SHUDDERED AND WOULDN'T RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. THE WRENCH SYMBOL CAME ON THE DASH. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND WOULDN'T GO OVER 3 OR 4 MILES AN HOUR. I PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS, AS THERE WERE VEHICLES COMING UP BEHIND ME ON THE TWO-LANE ROAD AND THEY HAD TO GO AROUND ME. IT WAS VERY SCARY NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER VEHICLES. THIS WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLE, NO PRIOR WARNING OF ANY ISSUES. PRELIMINARY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT OTHER FORD VEHICLES HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THROTTLE BODY FAILURES, WITH VERY SIMILAR DESCRIPTIONS TO THIS ISSUE WITH MY 2012 FORD MUSTANG.

ACCORDING TO MY FORD DEALERSHIP, THE SYNCHRONIZERS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND BEARS FAILED. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION PREVIOUSLY, CAUSING THE CAR TO FAIL TO SHIFT WHILE ACCELERATING. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, AS FAILURE TO ACCELERATE WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. THANKFULLY, I WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN MY TRANSMISSION FAILED. *JS

ON OCT 30, 2014 I WAS SHIFTING TO 2ND GEAR AND THE ENGINE BUCKED, LOST SPEED, THEN THE "WRENCH" SYMBOL ILLUMINATED, INDICATING THE LIMP HOME MODE ACTIVATED. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED IT AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. I DROVE IT TO AN AUTO SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT DETECT A MALFUNCTION CODE. TODAY, NOV 5, 2014 WHEN LEAVING MY NEIGHBORHOOD, THE SAME LOSS OF SPEED OCCURRED IN 2ND GEAR AND THE WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE BACK TO THE LOCAL AUTO SHOP AND THEY DETERMINED THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE. THE SOLENOID WAS BAD. FORTUNATELY, MY INCIDENTS HAPPENED AT A LOW SPEED. THIS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC AT HIGH SPEED, RUNNING THE RISK OF A HIGH-SPEED, REAR-END COLLISION. *TR

I BROUGHT MY 2012 MUSTANG GT WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN TO BE SERVICED BECAUSE OF AN AWFUL NOISE OCCURRING WHILE SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF 5TH GEAR. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT NOW SAYS I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT 38,000 MILES. *TR
