Consumer Description

MY CAR'S COOLING SYSTEM WAS DRAINING FLUIDS, AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECKED OUT, THEY TOLD ME THE HEAD GASKETS AS WELL AS THE FRONT TIMING COVER GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT COST ME $2500 FOR THE REPAIRS NECESSARY. THERE ARE ABOUT 12 OR 13 COMPLAINTS OF A SIMILAR NATURE FOR THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR (1996 FORD MUSTANG), BUT SINCE THIS ENGINE WAS INSTALLED ON OTHER MODELS AND YEARS, WHO KNOWS HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE SUFFERED FROM THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB
