2013 Ford Mustang

I have a 2013 ford mustang with 6R80 transmission as my wife was driving down the high way the suddenly shift down to 1 or second at 65 miles per hour and the car skidded out of control almost killing her and the people in the other lain I checked on recalls for this problem and I am getting conflicting answer. It says that some mustang have been recalled for the TCM and most all 6R80 transmission in the f150 and a couple other Ford vehicals that support the same transmission. My question is why would my 2013 ford mustang not be in the recall when clearly when I resurch it there is many issues out there with this car and TCM. Is this a wait until someone gets killed by the grace of God no one was hurt in my wife's situation and the car has to be parked until something is done to it so it doesn't happen again but like any dealer ship they want a very large amount of money to repair or replace the TCM. AKA lead frame is what I am told. I would like an answer on why this has been over looked please. Thank you God bless.

The 2013 Mustang (with 67,071 miles) transmission (6R80) downshifted to 1st gear at highway speeds exactly like the F-150 recall and would also shift out of gear. It could have been catastrophic, but was able to keep control of the vehicle. Was able to get the car home and only drove it to the dealership after this incident. The dash showed the airbag light, no mileage and the wrench similar to the F 150 issue, which pictures are available. Teh vehicle would also sporadically act as if it was in neutral. The vehicle was taken to a Ford dealership and the transmission diagnosis showed codes P0722, P0731. The repair was extremely expensive and should be recalled similar to the F-150 faulty transmission.

My son was driving and noticed a stiffness in the steering along with an occasional intermittent “ clicking” felt while turning the wheel. While going around a sharp curve the power steering failed completely and locked the steering wheel hard left forcefully. He was able to get it off the road safely and I was following him in another vehicle so I drove it the rest of the way home with no power steering. Online I found that numerous other ford owners over all models 2010-2015 have experienced the same epas failure due to a design flaw. https://youtu.be/szHMXwcp9fo This you tube video is what lead me here. Not only is the video informative of the problem, but in the comments countless others have experienced the same nightmare experience. We have parked the car as the repair can cost $3000, but worse than that if replaced under warranty the new parts fail again within 6 months and are not covered by Ford.

I have a 2013 Ford Mustang V6 coupe with Automatic transmission. I purchased the car Certified Pre Owned through Ken Grody Ford in Carlsbad, CA with Less then ~11,000 miles on it in 2/2014. I have been complaining of a jerk/ knock at ~ 1-1.6 RPM’s when idling & driving in stop and go traffic/ off ramps/ on ramps and parking lots - it appears to come from the transmission area. Fast forward to complaining over the years during service intervals ~ 2x a year for for the works service - oil/ lube/ etc , dealer did a Transmission Control Module computer reset & advised to monitor for symptoms in 11/2020. As covid was present, the car wasn’t driven much during. However the knock/ jerk between 1-1.6 RPM’s has always been present, even returning after the TCM reset. Dealership was notified, and neglected to return calls or follow up. Fast forward to 9/15/2022, after 3-4 wks of calling and leaving voicemails to no avail from the dealership service department manager/ dealership. I set up an appointment for 9/15/2022. On 9/5 & night of 9/14/22, the car instrument cluster lighted up with all notifications, and dashes for the total mileage on the car, orange wrench light - indicating Ford Limp mode, and low fuel popup (car was just fuels 1 hr prior to driving from Costco for grocery) I left and drove up a hill when this occurred as I was going 40-45 miles per hour the speedometer dropped to 0 MPH & the car barely drove beyond 5-15 MPH. I pulled over at the nearest local street from The hill parked the car and powered off the engine. I had a OBDII Tool that indicates: Global OBD FORD. P0720(1 / 1) Output Shaft Speed Sensor Circuit.

"Randomly while driving there is the engine revs up but car does not go any faster, no response from the throttle, no power. It slams down into lower gear, at one time the rear wheels screeched. My wife was driving this time, we were in traffic and was almost rear ended. She will no longer drive the car.

My 2013 Ford Mustang had some problems with down shifting, and my daughter took it several times to the dealer, they said it is probably the throttle body, so I replaced it, and thought that everything was fine. So on September last year my daughter was in an accident due to the car downshifting to first gear, the tires locked up and she swirled to some freeway wire retainers. Thankfully she was OK, So thinking that the throttle body went bad again I replaced it, and last week, I almost got rear ended because the same thing happened to me. The car shifted abruptly to first gear, locking the tires and rear swaying side to side.

I PURCHASED A USED 2013 FORD MUSTANG BOSS 302. THE CAR ONLY HAS 9,000 MILES ON IT. IT ONLY COMES WITH THE 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IT HAS A CLUNKY SHIFT BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AND 5TH GEAR. YOU MUST SHIFT VERY SLOWLY WHEN IT IS COLD OR IT WILL GRIND THE GEARS. I HAVE LOOKED AT SEVERAL FORD BOSS302 FACEBOOK GROUPS AND EVERYONE STATES THEY WILL HAVE CLUTCH LOCKOUT IF THEY SHIFT AT HIGH RPM'S AND ULTIMATELY WILL HAVE TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO A CLUTCH THAT IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ENOUGH CLAMPING POWER TO HOLD THE FLYWHEEL WHEN SHIFTING. NUMEROUS USERS STATED THAT AS SOON AS THEY UPGRADED TO CLUTCHES BY MCCLEOD, EXEDY, OR MANTIC, THE PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY WENT AWAY. THEY ALL STATE IT IS NOT THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE FAULTY CLUTCH THAT CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL EVENTUALLY. THE BOSS 302 ENGINE HAS A 7,500 RPM REDLINE WHICH IS HIGHER THAN THE OTHER COYOTE 5.0 LITER ENGINES. THE CLUTCH CAN NOT HANDLE THIS HIGH RPM LIMIT. SO, BASICALLY FORD SOLD A PERFORMANCE CAR THAT YOU CAN'T DRIVE ANYWHERE NEAR ITS LIMITS BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION. THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE STOCK CLUTCH WITH A HIGHER QUALITY AFTERMARKET CLUTCH. IF THEY REPLACE IT WITH THE SAME FORD CLUTCH, THE PROBLEM WILL REPEAT. *TR

NOT TO MENTION POTENTIAL ROAD RANGE FROM DRIVERS BEHIND A CAR THAT CAN'T MOVE WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNS GREEN. THE ORANGE WRENCH, AIRBAG, LOW FUEL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE DROPS TO ZERO, ODOMETER, TRIP METER, "MILES UNTIL EMPTY" METER ALL DISPLAY DASHES WHILE DRIVING. SYMPTOMS WILL CLEAR AFTER AN IGNITION KEY CYCLE, BUT RETURN. TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) P0720 IS SOMETIMES STORED IN THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. I'M CURRENTLY STUCK WITH A >$900 REPAIR BILL TO REPLACE THE LEAD FRAME ATTACHED TO THE VALVE BODY IN THE TRANSMISSION. PLEASE INCREASE SCOPE OF EXISTING RECALL FOR OTHER YEARS/MODELS WITH THE SAME 6R80 TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. FORD CSP 16N02 HAS ALREADY EXTENDED COVERAGE FOR 10 YEARS, 150,000 MILES ON OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME TRANNY, SO IT'S INCOMPREHENSIBLE THE 2013 MUSTANG ISN'T COVERED AS WELL.

CAR HAS HAD THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND OFF. SINCE IT ALREADY HAD RECALL FOR IT AIRBAGS, IT SEEMS LIKE A FAULTY AIRBAG SYSTEM PROBLEM CONTINUES. LIGHT USUALLY COMES ON WHEN BEEN DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MILES AND STAYES ON. ONCE I TUNR THE IGNITION OFF, IT RESETS IT AND TURNING THE IGNITION ON AGAIN, THE LIGHT IS GONE, BUT WILL COME BACK AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MILES BUT NOT ALWAYS.
