I purchased a 2019 GT Mustang with a 10 speed auto transmission new from the deale in early 2019. On two occasions since new, when the vehicle is parked on level ground and idling with a warm engine, when selecting Reverse from either Park or Neutral, there is a very severe engagement occurring in the gear box. It is so severe the vehicle jerks badly and a loud mechanical noise is very audible the instant it engages in reverse gear. On both occasions, I've had the brake foot pedal pressed down firmly.
I've taken the car back to my Ford dealership both times this has happened and they have no idea what this could be. To be fair, this violent shift didn't happen at the dealership when they looked at it.
The mechanics advised they tested the transmission for any fault codes and nothing came up.
The vehicle has only travelled just over 18,000klms since new and is serviced regularly by the Ford dealership.
I was concerned that this severe engagement when placing in to reverse may cause some damage to the transmission or other parts of the engine, however as it has only happened twice in about 4 years and the transmission appears to operate normally at all other times, I'm at a quandary as to what could be causing this?
Has anyone else experienced a similar occurrence, and if so, was their a solution??
Thank you.
