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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED. AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A CURB. THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION AND THE MESSAGE "POWER STEERING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION" WAS DISPLAYED. APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK LATER, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND COULD NOT BE TURNED AT ALL. DOWLING FORD (1011 S. MAIN ST, CHESHIRE, CT) WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 25026398. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD ONLY OPERATE IN THE HIGH SETTING. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000. *DT *TR

IN A NUT SHELL, LOOK UP FORD TSBS: 13-4-9 AND 13-6-8. 2013 MUSTANG, 65,700 MILES, WITH 6-SPEED AUTO (6R80) TRANSMISSION WILL SUDDENLY GET STUCK IN 5TH GEAR WHEN STARTING OR WHEN CRUISING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR AN ON-RAMP AND SUDDENLY STUCK IN 5TH GEAR WITH NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. 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…

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.
WITHOUT WARNING MY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED. THIS RESULTED IN THE STEERING SHAKING AND THEN LOCKING UP WHILE I WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I THEN ONLY HAD MANUAL STEERING. WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE, IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MUSTANGS OF THESE YEARS AND ADJACENT YEARS.
