Hard to shift into first gear of neutral from a stopped position on the V6 manual transmission on the 2000 Ford Mustang, also paint is bubbling and cracking on roof in multiple spots, have seen same problem with paint posted for all models Ford from 2000-20005.
My car is less than 2 years old and I was told that because it has more than 36,000 miles on it. They will not warranty it. I think there must be a problem with this transmission. They are designed to last longer than 2 years. Has anyone else reported this problem?
From purchase, had problem with noises eminnating, we thought, from the transmission. Also, under certain circumstances, usually after downshifting from 5th to 4th and then accelerating, will jump out of 4th gear. But, biggest concern has been a terrific vibration from beneath the car and in the console which, on one occasion, displaced the plastic cover on the instrument panel. Took vehicle to various Ford dealers in carson city and reno, Nevada and stateline, ca. Although noise obvious, dealers unable to duplicate problem. Several months ago, the noise became very loud, at which time a dealer replaced parts, unknown, in the differential. We continued to have the same problems and more recently, the Ford dealership in carson city found a "technical" which covered a clutch problem. The Mustang is in the dealership now (since Monday) at which time clutch parts are to be replaced and the transmission is also to be checked for problems. Perhaps our concerns will be addressed, but we have been complaining for approximately 25,000 miles. Our concern has been for a "locked up" transmission and the possibility of an accident. No accident has occurred at this point.
Engine stalls when full braking applied at highway speeds, causing sudden loss of power assisted steering and braking. 2 seperate instances. Dealer checked and found nothing noteable, made minor adjustment to throttle settings. 1 week later, second instance occurred, motor dying 3 times. Driver forced to place manual transmission in neutral, depress clutch, and restart motor, which restarted each time, but forced driver to attempt to start car, control car, and stop car simultaniously.

My car stuck in reverse and I couldn't get the car out of gear. I had to drive the vehicle around the block backwards to get it in the garage. Then called a tow truck and took it to Ford. Luckily this happend in my neighborhood and not on a busy street. I or my passengers might have been injured by traffic. We would not be able to get out of the way. Ford says they knew that there might be a problem but did not disclose this potentially dangerous problem to me at the time of sale only 19 days ago. They are putting a new transmission even as we speak.
