1995 FORD MUSTANG Engine And Engine Coolingcooling Systemfan Problems

I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE OF A RECALL ON THE ENGINE COOLING FAN. THE END RESULT WAS DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE IN MY 1995 FORD MUSTANG BECAUSE THE ENGINE FAN QUIT OPERATING AND CAUSED OVERHEATING TO OCCUR. I HAVE ALSO NOT RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES REGARDING THE HOOD, THE LIGHTS, ETC. THE ONLY NOTICE I DID RECEIVE WAS FOR THE PARKING BRAKE. I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE ENGINE EVALUATED TO SEE IF IT CAN BE REPAIRED WITHOUT HAVING TO TOTALLY REPLACE THE ENGINE. *TR

I HAVE 95 MUSTANG .AROUND 2001- 2003 IT OVERHEATED THEN THE NEXT NIGHT CAUGHT ON FIRE RIGHT BESIDE THE HOUSE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET IN THE HOUSE AND GET A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT THE FIRE .THE FIRE BEGAN FROM THE THERMOSTAT THAT CONTROLS THE WATER TEMP TO THE RADIATOR .IT SHORTED OUT AND CAUGHT ON FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OUT WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE CAR HOWEVER A HEAD WAS WARPED DUE TO THE THERMOSTAT GOING OUT AND THE CAR OVERHEATING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS GOING TO COST ALOT TO FIX SO I TOOK IT TO A SHADE TREE MECHANIC WHO WAS ABLE TO FIX IT FOR AROUND $900.00. LATER A FRIEND HAD A MUSTANG TO BURN TO THE GROUND FOR THE SAME REASON . I LATER GOT A RECALL ON IT AND CONTINUE TO GET THEM BUT...
