NHTSA Complaint #10426994 — 2008 FORD MUSTANG

SINCE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW, MANUAL TRANSMISSION WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO SHIFT FROM 2-3 GEAR (ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD). SOMETIMES GEARS WOULD GRIND, OR WOULD NOT ENGAGE AT ALL. SHIFTS WOULD OFTEN TAKE ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS TO ENGAGE, WITH CAR LOSING SPEED DURING THIS TIME. AT 5800 MILES, TRANSMISSION REQUIRED THE SYNCHRONIZERS TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. CURRENTLY CAR HAS 22,000 MILES. AT TIMES, GEARS WOULD NOT ENGAGE SMOOTHLY FROM 2-3 SHIFT (WHEN TRANSMISSION HOT OR COLD), AND REQUIRES 2-3 SECONDS FOR GEARS TO ENGAGE. THIS OCCURS OCCASIONALLY, WITHOUT ANY FOREWARNING. *TR
