My vehicle experienced a blown head gasket due to a faulty engine block design at 56K miles. The car started running rough for 10 seconds upon a cold start up and was also misfiring. This is due to coolant intrusion through the gasket and it got into cylinder 3 which could have caused catastrophic engine failure or worse.There are several class-action lawsuits against Ford for the defect.Ford has not taken any steps to address this issue with the ecoboost engines on 2015-2019 models. Additionally, Ford did NOT provide relief to me and I had to pay out of pocket to fix this.

My vehicle recently had a head gasket leak due to a faulty engine block design. I noticed one day the coolant was lower than it should be but nothing concerning, over a month or so it got progressively lower & the car would also sputter/misfire on startups from time to time. This is due to coolant slipping through the gasket & getting into the cylinder & oil which can lead to catastrophic engine failure or worse. Eventually I got a check engine light & was told it was a misfire after running a diagnostic on the vehicles OBD2. I researched what the issue could be &it became more & more apparent that it was a head gasket issue. The oil was contaminated & coolant was getting very low. Apparently it-??s a big issue since Ford is now facing a class action over the defect. The vehicle also has some issues with the transmission, for example ill start the car up on a cold California morning 50?F & let it warm up before driving & when I go into reverse after the car will jolt hard as if you were backing up & hitting something like a wall, even in the afternoon when you start it from a cold start & go into reverse it will do it. Not sure why but it-??s concerning to say the least. The transmission also feels confused when shifting, when I-??m in 4th about to push fit it will get confused & revs will drop slightly before going up again to up shift, also when downshifting due to braking the shifts can feel a bit hard, especially when needing to stopping fast. The engine & transmission are the most importantly parts of a vehicle & without them working properly is something no one should have to face.

The 10-speed automatic transmission (10R80) in my 2019 Ford Mustang GT began malfunctioning around 84,000-?"85,000 miles, displaying a consistent hesitation followed by a sudden jolt during acceleration between 15-?"30 mph. A Ford dealership confirmed the issue and diagnosed it as an internal leak in the clutch drum assembly, referred to as a -??CDF drum internal leak.-?? The vehicle has not shown any warning lights or dashboard messages, and the symptoms developed gradually before becoming consistent. The malfunction causes the car to unexpectedly lurch forward during normal driving, which poses a safety risk to myself and others, particularly in traffic, at intersections, or when merging. This unpredictable behavior could lead to loss of control or rear-end collisions. The transmission remains installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request; however, will be fixing it soon since it is my only car. To date, the vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership and not by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives.

I drive a manual 6 speed mustang gt 2019 the hazard that this vehicle is presenting and have seen many others complain about with a similar isssue that can be lethal causing an accident injury or even death. The mustang is known to have a reverse lockout feature with a collar and a plastic assembly where the shifter is, but it seems as it was poorly designed or poorly assembled as the problem many mustang owners are having ;such as me is that the vehicle will go in to reverse gear without lifting up the collar or in other words without disengaging the reverse lockout so instead of going into first gear it will go into reverse same goes for the second gear. I put the clutch in and put it in first or second gear or even just slightly pushing the shifter towards me and the reverse camera will turn on that is very unsafe and dangerous I recall this being also a dangerous thing for the Shelby gt350 recall number 19B34 it-??s not only a issues on those vehicles but also on the mustang 2019 Gt and other years

The 10 speed automatic transmission is not shifting properly. The car lurches and it feels/sounds like the transmission is going to fall out of the car when putting the car in drive or reverse from park. There is hesitation while shifting during acceleration. The car should downshift to a lower gear when extra power is needed. Also, the transmission shifts hard when coming to a stop and feels like undo wear and tear is being placed on the transmission. The issues I am having are the same I see other Ford Mustang and Ford F150 owners are having with the transmission. I want this issue fixed and the car is available for inspection. Also, this issue has been ongoing since Jan 2021 when I purchased the car used.
