Description of the problem | My engine has randomly shut off three separate times now. I have about 12,000 miles on mt 2015 mustang gt w/pp manual transmission. The first time i was parked and it was idling, my friend and i both witnessed the idle dip, then 3-5 seconds later the engine shut off. The second time (was much more dangerous) i was changing lanes because of a car fast approaching from behind, i downshifted from 3rd to 2nd gear (30-40mph), let out the clutch smoothly, pressed the accelerator and the car did nothing, i looked down and the rpm was at 0 and "press clutch to start" was displayed on the gauge cluster screen. I quickly depressed clutch and restarted engine and took off to avoid an accident. The third time happened today 3/15/2016 i was again at idle and the engine just shut down without me touching anything, it again displayed "press clutch to start". I've read in forums that many people are having this issue intermittently, this could be a serious safety issue that can have deadly consequences. Please address this issue correctly rather than sending everyone home with the "we didn't find any issue" go-to response. Hopefully people don't have to get injured, or god forbid die, before this issue is taken seriously. |
