2007 Ford Mustang Power Train

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.

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.

AFTER FEWER THAN 25,000 MILES MY CLUTCH BEGAN SLIPPING SEVERLY

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.

THE VEHICLE WHILE SHIFTING GEARS IS IN 3RD GEAR IS CHANGING RPM'S. THE RPM'S ARE MOVING VASTLY FROM LOWER END TO TOP END. THE CAR HAS VERY LOW MILES AND RECENTLY PURCHASED 7 MONTHS AGO AND ONLY PLACED 3000 MILES SINCE PURCHASE. THE WARRANTY COMPANY WILL NOT COVER THE PROBLEM. I REACHED OUT TO FORD BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME FORUMS THAT STATE THIS PART THAT IS MAKING CAR DO THIS IS THE CLUTCH AND GIVES OUT VERY EARLY AFTER MANUFACTURING OF THE CAR, THEY SAID THEY ARE UNABLE TO HELP ME BUT IF THERE IS A RECALL THEY WILL LET US KNOW. WE FEEL THIS PART IS DEFECTIVE TO GIVE OUT IN 3000 MILES SINCE PURCHASE AND SEE THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH SAME COMPLAINTS ONLINE. *TR

AFFECTED PARTS: CLUTCH. THE CLUTCH HAS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT (SLIPPING) THREE TIMES IN 44,571 MILES. FIRST PROBLEM OCCURRED AT APPROX. 10,000 MILES (REPLACED BY FORD UNDER WARRANTY). THE SECOND PROBLEM OCCURRED AT APPROX. 24,000 MILES (REPLACED BY FORD UNDER WARRANTY). THE THIRD PROBLEM OCCURRED AT 44,571 MILES AND FORD IS REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING, THE FORD PREMIUM CARE EXTENDED WARRANTY REFUSES TO HONOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY NOW CLAIM IT IS A "MAINTENANCE" ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS A 2007 SHELBY MUSTANG GT500 AND IT IS NOT LISTED IN THE ABOVE DROP DOWN BOX. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC STOP WHEN THE CLUTCH WAS RELEASED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE CLUTCH AND THE FLY WHEEL WOULD HAVE TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,600.

I WAS DRIVING EASTBOUND ON THE 91 FREEWAY IN CALIFORNIA. I WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THE ACCELERATOR REVVED UP AND INCREASED MY SPEED TO OVER 90 MILES PER HOUR WHICH I HAD NO CONTROL OF. I REALIZED THAT THE ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK AND PUT MY CAR INTO NEUTRAL. I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY WITH THE HELP OF A DIRT FIELD WITHOUT DOING THIS I WOULD HAVE CRASHED AND EITHER BEEN KILLED OR I WOULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. I CONTACTED FORD CORPORATION ABOUT MY PROBLEM AND THEY INSISTED THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE HEARD OF A MUSTANG DOING THIS. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND APPARENTLY THIS IS HAPPENING ALOT WITH THE MUSTANG. MY CAR HAS ONLY 33,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

ACCELERATOR STUCK WHEN ENTERING RAMP OFF HIGHWAY. MOTOR WAS RACING. TRIED TO BRAKE BUT BRAKES WERE FIGHTING AGAINST ENGINE. HAD TO THROW VEHICLE IN TO PARK ONCE VEHICLE SLOWED ENOUGH BUT STILL FOUGHT THE MOTOR RACING. STARTED CAR BACK UP AND ACCELERATOR STILL STUCK TO FLOOR. CHECKED TO SEE IF CAR MAT POSSIBLY WAS THE CAUSE, BUT WAS NOT. CALLED FOR TOW TRUCK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG SHELBY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT ENGAGE WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THE CLUTCH AND FLY WHEEL FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 11,500.

THE FIRST INDICATION THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WAS WHEN THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. I NOTICED THIS AND MENTIONED IT TO THE SERVICE WRITER WHEN THE CAR WAS IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. I WAS TOLD TO TRY DIFFERENT THINGS TO GET IT TO GO INTO REVERSE MORE EASILY. SOON AFTER THE REVERSE ISSUE I STARTED THE HAVE PROBLEMS SHIFTING INTO GEAR WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR AT TIMES. AT SOME POINT THE CAR STARTED TO SLIP OUT OF GEAR WHILE ACCELERATING. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. I AT FIRST THOUGHT MAYBE I WAS AT FAULT, BUT SOON REALIZED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE CAR. WHEN I INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT. THERE WAS A TSB PUT OUT ON THE MODEL YEARS 2007-2009. FORD NEVER INFORMED US THE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND/OR CLUTCH. NOW THEY TELL US THAT OUR 3/36,000 WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT, SO THAT IF THE CLUTCH IS PART OF THE PROBLEM IT WON'T BE COVERED. FORD SHOULD HAVE INFORMED THE OWNERS OF THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THE CAR. THEY OBVIOUSLY KNEW ABOUT IT, AND DID REPAIR MANY OF THEM. I REALIZE THAT THE NEWER MODEL YEARS ARE ALSO HAVING THESE ISSUES. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL PUT OUT ON THESE CARS. THERE ARE MANY SHELBY GT 500 OWNERS WHO MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THE SHIFT COVER OR TRACKING FRACTURED AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE. THE FAILURE WAS REPAIRED FOUR TIMES BUT CONTINUED TO RECUR. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED AN INVESTIGATOR WOULD BE SENT TO FURTHER INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,850.

WHILE EXECUTING A LEFT TURN ACROSS A SIX-LANE INTERSECTION, I NOTICED ANOTHER VEHICLE APPROACHING THE LEFT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AT A SPEED OF AT LEAST DOUBLE THE LIMIT. I ACCELERATED HARD TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. THE THROTTLE "STUCK" FOR AN ESTIMATED TWO TO THREE SECONDS WHICH CAUSED LOSS OF CONTROL AND IMPACT WITH A FOOT HIGH CURB AT THE FAR SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION. DAMAGE TO MY CAR WAS OVER $8,000.00. THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPEAT EPISODES TO THIS DATE. *TR

I DRIVE A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. AT 7:00 AM ON MY WAY TO WORK MY CAR DECIDED TO TURN INTO CHRISTIENE. : -). THE THROTTLE BODY OR THE ACCELERATOR DECIDED TO STICK. THE RPM'S WERE RACING. I BURNT UP THE BACK BRAKE PADS AND THE ROTORS, OF TRYING TO GET THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN. I EVEN TRIED GEARING THE MUSTANG DOWN. WHEN I FINALLY GOT TO A SAFE SPOT, I THEN TURN OFF THE IGNITION. I STARTED IT UP TO IF SITTING AND RESETTING THE COMPUTER WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. I STARTED THE CAR THREE TIMES AND I GOT THE SAME RESPONSE. AFTER SETTING FOR A HOUR AND A HALF I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN. IT WAS FINE. I DID IMMED. TOOK IT TO A NEAR BY FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM HOOK IT TO A COMPUTER. THEY SAID, "IT SHOW WERE THE RPM WERE RACING, BUT THERE WAS ISSUE SHOWING UP." THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THIS ISSUE TO HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE THEY HAD IT AND THAT THEY COULD NOT PROMISE ME THAT THIS ISSUE WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAVE SPOKEN TO A CO-WORKER AND HE HAS A 2006 MUSTANG AND HE SAID THAT HIS ACCELERATOR DONE THE SAME TO HIM. I DRIVE FOR A LIVING (A SCHOOL BUS) AND I SELDOM GET SCARED, BUT AFTER THAT MORNING I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY MUSTANG AND NEVER HAD SOMETHING TO SCARE ME AS BAD. I BELIEVE WITH OUT MY DRIVING SKILLS I COULD HAVE HAD A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE JUMPED AND THE CONTACT HEARD A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. AN INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE SPEED DECREASED TO 45 MPH AND WOULD NOT INCREASE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY FOUND NO FAILURES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR THE SAME FAILURE, BUT THEY REFUSED TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY WITH THE SECOND DEALER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 36,400.

APPROX. THE 10TH OF JUNE, 2 WEEKS BEFORE MY FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF HAVING PURCHASED MY 2007 FORD SHELBY GT-500 COBRA, I BEGAN NOTICING SOME SLIPPAGE IN THE TRANSMISSION DURING ACCELERATION FOR PASSING, ETC. I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO IT TO BEGIN WITH, BUT THE SLIPPING STEADILY WORSENED. I ONLY WORK 3 MILES FROM HOME, SO MY OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPERIENCE THE REVVING AND THEN SLIPPAGE DIDN'T COME UP AS OFTEN AS ONE MAY PERCEIVE. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ABOUT JUNE 23RD, AT WHICH TIME THEY CHECKED THINGS OUT AND CALLED ME BACK A FEW HOURS LATER. THE FIRST CALL FROM THE SERVICE REP. TOLD ME THAT THE "CLUTCH WAS ALMOST TOTALLY WORN-OUT, AND MUST BE REPLACED." HE SAID HE ALSO NEEDED TO CHECK ON THE TRANSMISSION/FLYWHEEL ASSEMBLY AND GET BACK TO ME SHORTLY. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER HIS SECOND "CALL OF DOOM" TOLD ME THAT THE FLYWHEEL AND TRANS. WOULD ALSO NEED REPLACING. I DIDN'T WORRY A WHOLE LOT, NOT UNTIL I CHECKED MY "PURCHASE DATE" AND DISCOVERED THAT MY TOP OF THE LINE, A-1, CAR OF THE YEAR HAD ELAPSED THE 12 MONTH MARK ABOUT ONE WEEK PRIOR TO THIS DISCOVERY! AT THIS TIME, MY TOP OF THE LINE SHELBY COBRA HAD EXACTLY 10,345 MILES ON IT!! I SPOKE WITH THE MGR. AND ASKED FOR A "WAIVER" SINCE THE PROBLEMS HAD ACTUALLY STARTED PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE 12/12,000 WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT...IN THIS CASE...THAT "WAIVER" OR "FREE PASS" ON MY HAVING GONE 6.5 DAYS PAST THE WARRANTY EXP. WOULDN'T MEAN ANYTHING ANYWAY! WHY? WELL, IT SEEMS, THE FLYWHEEL, TRANSMISSION, AND CLUTCH ALL FALL UNDER THE BROAD AND ALL ENCOMPASSING TERM OF "NORMAL WEAR AND USAGE", KIND OF LIKE TIRES, WIPER BLADES, ETC. MY QUESTION WAS (AND STILL IS) "PLEASE TELL ME WHY FORD'S TOP-OF-THE-LINE, CAR OF THE YEAR, ETC. HAS A FLYWHEEL/TRANS./CLUTCH ASSEMBLY THAT DOESN'T EVEN LAST ONE CALENDAR YEAR?" NOBODY HAS YET TO ANSWER THAT QUERY .BUT GUESS WHO HAD TO SHELL OUT $2850 IN REPAIR FEES?? ME! THE SAME FELLOW WHO WAS SO PROUD TO BE DRIVING THE LATEST, GREATEST FORD MUSTANG EVER PRODUCED/SOLD! *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 MUSTANG PONY V-6 AND IT HAS ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 1100 MILES AND STILL DOES NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY AND IS NOISY. I HAVE ALSO TWICE EXPERIENCED AN ODD ACCELERATION WITH THIS CAR. THIS CAR VIBRATES FROM THE REARVIEW MIRRORS, THE DASH, AND STEERING WHEEL. I FEEL IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE 1500 MILES ON THIS CAR AND AM HOPING FORD WILL BUY IT BACK--BECAUSE NO DEALERSHIP WILL TAKE IN TRADE. *TR

THE CAR IS A 2007 MUSTANG WITH 4.0L V6 AND 5R55S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE CAR MAKES A WHINING SOUND WHEN ACCELERATING IN 1ST GEAR, AND A LESSER NOISE IN 2ND. IT SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I CHECKED WITH SEVERAL MUSTANG OWNERS WHO TOLD ME THAT THEIR CARS NORMALLY DON'T MAKE THAT KIND OF NOISE. FORD SERVICE CHECKED THE CAR AND CONTACTED THE FACTORY AND CONCLUDED THAT THE NOISE IS FROM THE PLANETARY GEARS AND THAT IT'S NORMAL. THEY DID NO CORRECTIVE WORK. AFTERWARDS, I FOUND THAT AN EARLIER VERSION OF THE TRANSMISSION, 5R55E HAD PROBLEMS WITH PLANETARY GEARS WHICH WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY - TSB# 02-22-2. ALSO, I FOUND 2 OR 3 PEOPLE SAID THAT THEIR MUSTANG TRANSMISSIONS MADE WHINING NOISES DUE TO INTERNAL PARTS RUBBING ON THE TRANSMISSION CASE. IN ONE CASE, THE NOISE WENT AWAY ON THE CAR AFTER THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING WAS CHANGED. IN ANOTHER CASE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. ONE PERSON DESCRIBES A SIMILAR PROBLEM IN ODI ID NUMBER : 10209790. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT'S WIFE PASSED ANOTHER VEHICLE AT 60 MPH AND, WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO DECELERATE, SHE COULD NOT. SHE RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE SPEED WOULD NOT DECREASE. SHE PUMPED THE BRAKES, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. EVENTUALLY, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED OUT OF PASSING GEAR ON ITS OWN AND THEN DECELERATED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER OR CONSULTED THE MANUFACTURER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 18,000.

2007 MUSTANG GT EQUIPPED WITH THE 5RSS5 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. "WHINING" SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHEN IN 2ND GEAR AFTER IT HAS REACHED OPERATING TEMPERATURE. SERVICE ADVISOR ADVISED THAT ITS NORMAL AND NO SERVICE IS REQUIRED EVEN WITHOUT MECHANIC TO INSPECT THE PROBLEM. ADVISOR DID NOT WRITE UP SERVICE TICKET. LATER DISCOVERED A FELLOW OWNER HAD SAME PROBLEM AND IT FOUND THAT THE 2ND GEAR CLUTCH WAS FAULTY AND WAS RUBBING THE CASE FROM THE INSIDE CAUSING THE WHINING SOUND. CASE WAS REPLACED AND SOUND WAS GONE. ANOTHER INCIDENT WAS DISCOVERED, AND OWNER STATED IT LED TO COMPLETE FAILURE DUE TO METAL PARTICLES CIRCULATING IN THE SYSTEM DESTROYING THE OTHER GEARS AFTER PROLONGED USE. *TR

JUST DRIVING NORMALLY, WHEN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION REACHES ITS OPERATING TEMPERATURE, A LOUD WHINE COMES FROM THE TRANSMISSION IN 2ND GEAR ONLY. BROUGHT THE MUSTANG BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR COULD NOT VERIFY THE NOISE AND THEY REFUSED TO TAKE FURTHER ACTION. *TR
