What owners wrote
My new 2016 mustang v6 has severe vibration while driving at most speeds. The dealer service dept. Determined the problem was a faulty drive shaft and replaced it twice and indexed the second one after installation. The car still vibrates. The tires were road forced balanced and rotated and the vibration is still happening. This leads me and other professionals to conclude that there may be other malfunctioning parts or a possible design flaw in the drive line which I believe ford motor company knows about.
Manual transmission, clunking and knocking from clutch while driving, will not engage into gear smoothly, locked out of gear during acceleration, knocking from transmission when shutting vehicle off, jerking and hesitation when accelerating at low rpms, intermittent vibration when decelerating,
