I still believe it is a skip shift feature that most are complaining about in the investigation. "Not being able to shift" means that they are trying for 2nd and it refuses to go into that gear. That is skip shift and most people don't know it exist. Again... stop driving like an elderly woman... If most Mustang buyers are women then that is probably the problem... although 32 out of almost 100,000 is not 50% man to woman ratio... The Ford Transit has the MT82 and it doesn't have skip shift, the Range Rover has the MT82 and it doesn't have skip shift but yet no problems with those transmissions.... strange...

From Autoweek:
The complaints range from the grinding of gears to the complete lockout of others. One owner said that after six trips to the dealership, the problem still wasn't solved. The alleged issue exists on both V6 and V8 Mustangs.
The current Mustang uses the MT82 transmission, built by Getrag at a joint-venture plant in China. The
Land Rover Defender uses the same unit and has reported experienced similar problems.
Trust me, its not the skip shift, my buddies at work confirm that, like I said removed it, and it happens in 2, 3 and 4 shifts...NOT just out of 1st.
