1995 FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

BROKE DOWN ON HIGHWAY WITH WATER AND SMOKE EVERYWHERE. HAD IT TOWED TO A GARAGE AND HAD TO HAVE THE HEAD GASKET REPLACED . FORD REFUNDED US THE MONEY AND IT WORKED FOR AWHILE BUT BEGAN OVERHEATING AGAIN AND HAD TO ADD WATER EVERYDAY. HUSBAND PASSED AWAY IN 2006 AND UNTIL 2008 EXCEPT FOR STARTING IT, I DID NOT DRIVE IT. HAD THE COOLING SYSTEM FIXED AGAIN AT MY COST AND I AM BACK APPROX 6 MTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM OVERHEATING AGAIN AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. CAR SOUNDS AWFUL AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT AGAIN. *TR

HEAD GASKET BLEW UP ON 3.8L 1995 MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE. ENGINE HAS 60,000 MILES AND FORD REFUSES TO EVEN CONSIDER HELPING. ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED. *LA

AT UNPREDICTABLE MOMENTS, USUALLY BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY WHILE SLOWING TO A STOP, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE WILL REV UP AND CAUSE THE CAR TO LUNGE FORWARD, INSTEAD OF STAYING AT IDLE AS IT SHOULD WHILE COMING TO A STOP. I KNOW THIS SEEMS INCREDIBLE, AND MAY BE AN INACCURATE OBSERVATION ON MY PART, BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE HARDER THAT I PUSH DOWN ON THE BRAKE IN THESE SITUATIONS, THE STRONGER THE ENGINE PULLS. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, ABOUT FOURTEEN MONTHS AGO, I JUST ABOUT HAD A "HEART ATTACK" AND ALMOST RAN INTO A BUILDING, AS I WAS PARKING THE VEHICLE. THIS SITUATION HAPPENS MOSTLY AT RED LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS, ALWAYS AT SPEEDS BELOW FIFTEEN MILES PER HOUR WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND CREATES A REALLY SERIOUS PROBLEM. WHEN IT DOES OCCUR, I HAVE TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION QUICKLY INTO NEUTRAL OR TURN THE KEY...

HEAD GASKET FAILURE...AFTER TAKING MY 95 MUSTANG TO 3 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS TRYING TO RESOLVE A CHECK ENG. LIGHT PROBLEM AND A MOTOR PROBLEM I WAS TOLD IT WAS JUST BAD GAS... NOW THAT THE 7 YEAR/100000 EXTENDED WARRANTY IS OVER, FORD SAID "IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND WE WILL NOT FIX IT UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE CAR HAS 87000 MILES AND IS PAST THE 7 YEARS BY 6 MONTHS. AND GET THIS... THE ONE DEALERSHIP THAT SPENT THE MOST TIME ON THE PROBLEM SAID THEY NEVER HAD THE CAR THERE AND SHOW NO RECORDS OF THERE BEING A PROBLEM. I HAVE SERVICE RECORDS AND SERVICE TICKETS FROM THIS DEALERSHIP. WOW TALK ABOUT NOT STANDING BEHIND A PRODUCT.
