Digital instrument cluster goes blank without warning, usually when starting it up after it's been running. It takes between 10-30 minutes to come back on. Dealer doing warranty work has run through all Ford recommended tests and reinstallation of as build data - nothing works. This has happened since the vehicle was brand new; I now have 19,000 miles on it. Ford does not have a tsb for the 2020 GT Mustang with this problem. I cannot drive the vehicle without the instrument panel.

The actual getrag defective and faulty manual transmission on Ford Mustang 2020 still causing serious personal safety issues nowadays. In manual transmission vehicles, downshifting gears on a reliable, effective and efficient transmission 'part', it's a serious and determining factor at the moment the driver needs to slow down safely or even stop the vehicle, especially on longer downhill roads so brake overheating and possible failure of them can be avoided or in the eventual case of towing a load... shifting gears at also important when increasing speed is required or even expected, like at the moment a car incorporates or merge in to a freeway from the ramp and it's required to match the ongoing and specially, the oncoming vehicles or traffic, this risk increases if the oncoming vehicle is a loaded trailer to set 1 example. Being able to efficiently increase speed if 'slowing down' option is not the advisable in the particular circumstances; is actually a determining factor at the moment of avoid a lateral deadly collision or in the best of the cases an injury. This defective transmission had situated me in this kind of risky situations of collision and deadly crashes, that fortunately were managed to be avoided. Ford it's actually facing on this year (2020) a 'class action' (case 2:20-cv-11310-ljm-drg ecf no.1) for refusing us the customers, to get replaced, repaired, and totally solution and 'cure' the problem with this dangerous and unreliable transmission part. Unlike! Ford refuses to acknowledge their responsibility and trying to scam us and even charge us expensive amounts for repairs, claiming that 'it's a wear and tear' issue or 'aggressive driving', 'drivers performing burnouts' etc. Trying to scam us with even a 1 month of using, brand new cars and with their warranty, claiming that it's due to the clutch and clutch is the only thing they don't cover.
