Mustang problems
Safety investigators are looking into possible
transmission problems in some 2011 and 2012 Ford Mustang models and
fuel lines in 2011 Volkswagen Jettas.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Office of
Defects says on its website Sunday that it has received 32
complaints about an unexpected inability to shift into gear on
Mustangs with manual transmissions.
Some reports allege the problem occurred while merging into
high-speed traffic. The preliminary investigation involves 26,000
vehicles.
Seven complaints alleging leakages from the fuel line to a fuel
injector in some Jetta models also have been received. That probe
involves about 40,000 vehicles.
Spokesman Wes Sherwood says Ford Motor Co. is "going to fully
cooperate" with the government's review.
The Associated Press left messages Sunday seeking comment from
Volkswagen officials.
