urgent tranny question
Hello - my daughter's 09 mustang sitting at a Ford dealership in Texas waiting for service department on Monday(had to be towed to dealership).She was driving home, cruise control engaged in 5th gear on highway, car suddenly bogged and lost power, she could not get the car out of 5th gear and heard a metallic sound from the engine or tranny-she wasn't sure. Any theories as to what occurred?? I'm concerned they may take advantage of the fact she's a young kid w/o any automotive knowledge.Thanks in advance

Sounds like the transmission was trying to seize up probably due to lack of fluid inside the transmission. Has she had the car serviced lately at a lube facility? If so, they might have not properly serviced the transmission. Either filling it with the wrong fluid or failure to refill it at all has possibilities.
