NHTSA Complaint #10532959 — 2008 FORD MUSTANG

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 MUSTANG SHELBY GT 500 AND STOPPED ON A HILL AND WHEN TRYING TO START CLUTCH SLIPPED AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. I HAVE DRIVEN MANUAL TRANSMISSION CARS ALL MY LIFE AND HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR WITH 6000 MILES WITH CLUTCH FAILURE. I CONTACTED FORD AND WAS INFORMED BY THEM THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I DID SOME INTERNET RESEARCH AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE LOOKING FOR HELP FROM FORD AND HAVE RECEIVED THE SAME RESPONSE. I HAVE SHARED MY RESEARCH AND I HAVE RECEIVED GENERIC ANSWERS. FORD IS VERY AWARE OF THE INFERIOR CLUTCHES THEY PUT IN THESE CARS AND ARE ONLY TRYING TO EVADE A RECALL. I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP CONVINCING FORD TO DO THE HONORABLE THING ESPECIALLY THE HIGH COST OF THESE CARS. IF YOU DO YOUR OWN INVESTIGATING AND YOU WILL FIND MULTIPLE PROBLEMS BEING DISCUSSED ON THE INTERNET. THANKS *TR
