Well I finally am rid of my headache. I had my mustang (2018 GT 10spd)in the shop for a new valve body at just over 2,000miles. And ever since it would miss a shift once in a while. The dealer was never able to replicate it, but every few hundred miles it would lock the rear end up when shifting from 3 to 4 under acceleration.

I did everything I could to get the dealer to help me. Unfortunately the only thing I was able to do was sell it back to the dealer wholesale and take a bath on the whole thing.

I'm glad it's gone, but I wish it would have worked right because it was such a fun car. Until it tried to kill you anyways.

Why didn’t you call the Ford 800# and do a Buy Back with Ford? You would have had the option of either 1) getting into another new Mustang OR 2) you walk away from Ford and they refund your full purchase excluding minor fees.

There’s TONS of info about the Buy Back process in the TSB/Problem subforum on here.

Unless you did do the Buy Back and that’s not clear from your post, it surely sounds like the Dealer hosed you and pulled a fast one on you... the Buy Back would not have been “wholesale”, it’s strictly MSRP cost.

Sucks to hear OP but I'm not worried since my new car is a manual. One less thing to worry about. I'll change the clutch at 100k and probably be all.

Should have gone for a stick shift, less complicated, less issues more fun.
Dude ya gotta let it go. About 60% of the buying public disagrees with you. We don’t have to turn everything into a manual vs auto pissing match.

Next thread. I'm selling my car because I heard 2018 engines blow up and transmissions lock up in that exact order. Lol

I agree that you had a lousy dealer. Where there no others you could have gone to? Did the dealer even attempt to get a Ford engineer involved? If worse came to worse and you still like the car you may have been able to work out a deal to get them to put a new transmission in and you would pay for it at their actual cost. Probably 50-60% of retail. That should have been less than the bath you took selling it back to the dealer. The dealer would not have bought it back if they didn’t see a lot of $$$$ profit in it for them.

Let what go? Im not turning everything into a man auto debate but it's obvious she wouldn't be having these issues if bought a manaul. Not sure where you're getting 60% from but over half are manual in UK

To be honest, if my house was paid off, I'd have a manual coupe and an auto convertible and drive them accordingly. Convertible would be red of course :) Not hating on anyone and I hope OP ends up happy with his next car.

World wide production is a 60/40 split. And your right. Autos have different problems than manuals. It’s actually soooooo obivious. It never needed to be said in the first place.
