2007 Ford Mustang power train problems

“The contact owns a 2007 Ford Mustang. The contact stated while driving and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The contact indicated that when the accelerator pedal was slightly depressed the vehicle decelerated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the clutch was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that an extended service for the failure was issued but the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was 17,000.”

“THERE'S A CHRONIC HESITATION WHEN YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR FROM A YIELD/MERGE TYPE SITUATION AT LOW-SPEED. IT'S NOT EVERY TIME BUT MANY TIMES. TODAY I WAS GOING AROUND A CAR THAT WAS SITTING IN THE ROAD WITH IT'S FLASHERS ON (IE DOUBLE PARKED) AND THERE WAS A CAR IN THE OTHER LANE ON THE 2-LANE ONE-WAY STREET AND I STEPPED ON THE PEDDLE TO ACCELERATE SLIGHTLY AND IT TOTALLY CHOKED AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET HIT IN THE REAR AND THEN IT KICKED IN. I NOTED THIS WAY BACK WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND AT THAT TIME I THOUGHT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GEARING WHICH IT STILL COULD. I TOLD SERVICE ABOUT THE ISSUE AND I EVEN TOOK THEM FOR A DRIVE BUT OF COURSE THAT TIME IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I'VE TRIED OVER YEARS TO ID THE PROBLEM MORE BUT WHILE I CAN SEE SOMEWHAT OF A PATTERN IT'S NOT GUARANTEED. ALTHOUGH ONE OF THE MOST LIKELY SITUATIONS IS GOING UP A HILL, TURNING SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT WHILE SLOWING FOR A YIELD SIGN BUT NOT STOPPING AND THEN PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR ONLY TO GET A HICCUP OR CHOKE OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. THERE ARE ALSO ISSUES FILLING THE TANK BECAUSE OF A LACK OF ENOUGH SPACE FOR FUEL TO REPLACE AIR CAUSING THE SELF-SHUTOFF OF THE PUMP TO KICK-IN…”

“THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT GO INTO OVERDRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY SO I PULLED OVER AND THEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE MANUALLY SWITCHED FROM GEAR TO GEAR AND THEN DROVE FINE. THE THE VEHICLE STARTS DOING THE SAME THING AFTER WARMING UP. NOW REVERSE AND 3RD ARE OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS WARM. IVE HAD SENSORS BANDS AND OTHER THINGS REPLACED. EVERYTHING SHORT OF A NEW TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED. NOW I CANT FIND A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP THAT WILL REBUILD IT DUE TO SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS THEY DO NOT WANT TO PUT A WARRANTY ON IT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. SOMETHING IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE OR LICENSED TECHNICIANS WOULD REPAIR THEM AND WOULDNT CARE TO OFFER A WARRANTY. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS OFF AND ON SINCE 2017. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT ALL THE COMPLAINTS HAVE NOT RESULTED IN A RECALL.”

“FORD OEM PART NO.: 8R3Z-7210-C - SHIFTER ASSEMBLY AUTOMATIC CONSOLE SHIFTIER BLIND MAY BIND UP IN THE TRACK OR BREAK COMPLETELY LIKE MINE DID. THIS CAN CAUSE DIFFICULTY IN THE SHIFTER GOING IN TO GEARS OR PARK, OR SHOW PROPER P R N D 3 2 1 SELECTION ON SELECTOR. A BROKEN BLIND CAN ALLOW THINGS TO FALL DOWN INTO THE GEAR SECTOR, THAT COULD CAUSE GEAR SELECTION OR PARK NOT TO WORK PROPERLY. STATIONARY OR MOVING I DON'T SEE HOW THIS IS A THIS IS A UNSAFE CONDITION OF THE PART. THE WHOLE PART HAS TO BE REPLACED AT $283 + LABOR UNKNOWN AS THEY DO NOT SELL REPLACEMENT REBUILD PARTS TO FIX THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTER. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=XERUTMNRWIG HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=EN5IJPMHWLK KEEP IN MIND PEOPLE TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEMSELVES GENERALLY LEAVE THEMSELF WITH NO GEAR SECTION INDICATOR BECAUSE FORD DOES NOT SELL PARTS FOR REBUILD, ONLY TO REPLACE THE WHOLE THING.”

“THE CLUTCH IS SLIPPING AT ONLY 10,000 MILES, THE CAR CANT EVEN MAKE IT UP A GENTLE GRADE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON ! IT CANNOT MAINTAIN SPEED IT CANT HANDLE WHEN YOU GIVE GAS TO ACCELERATE TO FREEWAY SPEED WHEN ENTERING THE ONRAMP TO FREEWAY. THIS HAS TO BE THE SLOWEST SHELBY ON THE ROAD.”
