THIS IS MY 19 YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER'S MUSTANG. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE CAR RUNNING HOT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. WE'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO SEVERAL AUTO REPAIRS AND NOBODY COULD FIND A REASON FOR THE CAR RUNNING HOT. WE TOOK THE MUSTANG TO PRECISION TUNE IN MACON BACK IN JUNE OR JULY. AFTER THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS STRANDED WITH THE CAR IN DUBLIN, GEORGIA. SHE TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN DUBLIN AND THEY KEPT IT OVER-NIGHT. THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED TO TELL HER THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2001, SHE IS ONCE AGAIN STRANDED IN STATESBORO, GEORGIA. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO ROZIER FORD IN STATESBORO, GA. THEY SAID THAT THE CAR HAD A CRACKED HEAD GASKET AND THAT IT WOULD COST ABOUT $1,300 TO REPAIR...SINCE WE HAD MISSED THE 100,000 MILE OWNER NOTOFICATION RECALL ON...

ON MAY OF 2000, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY STATING THERE COULD BE A POTENTIAL ENGINE HEAD GASKET FAILURE. UPON RECEIVING THIS LETTER MAY 11, 2000 I CONTACTED THE FORD MOTOR CO. AND ASKED THEM IF I COULD BRING THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT CHECKED OUT TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. THE REQUEST WAS DENIED. I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM HAD TO ACTUALLY HAPPEN BEFORE IT COULD BE DETECTED. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR A YEAR AND A HALF AND NOW THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURED. MY SON WHO WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME WAS PLACED IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THE CAR VIBRATED AND DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE FORD COMPANY IN DEARBORN, MICHIGAN ABOUT THE HEAD GASKET PROBLEM, A FEW MONTHS AGO. AT THE TIME WE HAD NO PROBLEMS. BUT NOW THE HEAD GASKETS HAVE BLOWN BUT FORD WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE WE ARE 2000 MILES OVER THE EXTENDED WARRARANTY. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF THEY KNEW THEY HAD A HEAD GASKET PROBLEM THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THEM AND FIXED THEM. NOW WE ARE STUCK WITH GETTING THE CAR FIXED BECAUSE FORD USED SHODDY PARTS. WE STILL OWE 17 MORE MONTHS OF PAYMENTS AND I AM NOT VERY HAPPY TO SAY THE LEAST.

I HAVE HAD TO PUT LOTS OF MONEY INTO THIS CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND IT NEVER RUNS RIGHT . NO SAFETY DEFECT MENTIONED IN SUMMARY. *AK

ALL FAILED AFTER FACTURY WARRENTY & EXTENDED ENDED. MOST OF THESE REPAIRS WHERE COMPLAINED ABOUT WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRENTY BUT WAS TOULD THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE ABOUT THE PROBLAIMS OR THEY WERE NORMAL FOR MUSTANGS .HAVE HAD TO REBULD THIS CAR ALL AT MY COST AND FORD SAY'S THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR FROM FACTERY. NOW I CAN NOT MAKE THE PAYMENTS ON THE CAR BECAUSE THE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN SO HIGH.*AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: RE92205/65 )

VEHICLE EXPERIENCING PROBLEM WITH ENGINE STALLING AT 300 RPM; DEALER NOTIFIED AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT A MODULE REPLACEMENT WAS NEEDED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT CONSUMER'S COST OF $450.00 . *AK

MANY OTHER MUSTANG OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. FORD RECENTLY RULED ON OTHER VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR ENGINES TO FIX THIS SIMILAR PROBLEM. I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE, WHICH HAS THE SAME ENGINE, HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AMONGST MANY OWNERS IS NOT COVERED BY FORD'S EXTENDED WARRANTY.

I AM AWARE THAT THE ENGINE USED IN MY 3.8L 1994 MUSTANG IS NEARLY IDENTICAL TO THE ENGINES OF TAURUS, AND WINDSTAR, WITH THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BEING REAR WHEEL DRIVE VS. FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. HOWEVER, THERE IS A RECALL SURROUNDING THE TAURUS AND WINDSTAR 3.8L V-6 ENGINE REGARDING BLOWN HEAD GASKETS. MY HEAD GASKET JUST BLEW ON MY 3.8L MUSTANG AND I FEEL THAT THE SAME DEFECT OR RECALL SHOULD APPLY TO ALL TO 3.8L MUSTANGS AS WELL.

WHILE DRIVING OWNER WAS MADE AWARE BY A MOTORIST THAT VEHICLE WAS SMOKING. OWNER GOT OUT OF VEHICLE AND VEHICLE EXPLODED. CAUSE UNDETERMINED BY FIRE MARSHALL. *AK
