What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 ford mustang. While driving various speeds, the contact smelled burning rubber from underneath the vehicle, and the transmission shifted hard. The vehicle was taken to autonation ford brooksville (7200 broad st, brooksville, fl 34601) where it was diagnosed that the clutch was faulty. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the failure occurred numerous times in the past. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 77,000.
The parking brake cable has lost all tension and no longer works to keep back wheels from moving. This creates a safety hazard because when parked on a hill the car is only supported by the transmission. Also the car seems to roll forward excessively when put in park without the brake on. I feel as if this is a safety issue that should be investigated.
