  VEHICLE HAS A BLOWN ENGINE HEAD GASKET. THERE IS A RECALL ON TAURUS WITH SAME ENGINE 3.8L. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER CONTACTED AND AWARE. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE RECALL. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. NO WARRANTY. PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

• 12/30/2003· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  THE HEAD GASKET BLEW AND MY ENGINE OVERHEATED CREATING A LARGE SMOKE CLOUD BEHING CAR ENDANGERING OTHER DRIVERS AND MYSELF DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY. I CHECK A FORD RECALLS WEBSITE AND IT SAYS THE HEAD GASKET HAS A 7YR OR 100,000 MILE WARRANTY FOR THE 3.8L ENGINE. I CALL MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME THAT CAMPAIGN ENDED IN 2001 AND EVEN IF IT WAS STILL ACTIVE MY CAR ACCORDING TO VIN NUMBER WOULDN'T EVEN QUALIFY. I THINK I'M GETTING SCREWED HERE. I AM MAD AND I FEEL I'M GETTING THE RUN-AROUND, AND I WANT SOME ANSWERS FROM SOMEBODY. I HAVE BEEN A HUGE FORD FAN AND IF THEY DONT FIX THIS FOR ME I MGIHT CONSIDER GOING TO CHEVROLET.

• 12/29/2003· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  IN JANUARY 2001, HEAD GASKET BLEW ON THE 1995 MUSTANG. LIMPED INTO FORD DEALER, WHO NOTIFIED ME OF A SILENT RECALL AND REPLACED HEAD GASKET UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. IN MARCH 2001, ENGINE AGAIN STARTED RUNNING HOT, AND HAD TO REPLACE INTAKE GASKET AND WATER PUMP (NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY). IN LATE DEC 2003, ENGINE ONCE AGAIN RUNNING HOT, AND TOLD THAT HEAD GASKET NEEDS REPLACEMENT AGAIN BY DEALER. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATES THAT IF CYLINDERS HAD BEEN MACHINED DURING FIRST REPAIR, 2ND HEAD GASKET FAILURE WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED. *AK

• 12/22/2015· SERVICE BRAKES

  SUFFERED COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE, PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR APPROACHING TRAFFIC AT A RED LIGHT. I HAD TO JUMP THE CURBS AND DRIVE OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE STOPPED CARS. I WAS ABLE TO DOWN SHIFT AND USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR AND LIMP TO A REPAIR SHOP (AT SLOW SPEED USING THE PARKING BRAKE). THEY FOUND A SPIT IN THE STEEL BRAKE LINE JUST BELOW THE RADIATOR THAT LED TO THE CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF BRAKES.

• 12/22/2004· TIRES

  I PURCHASED 4 BRAND NEW TIRES FOR MY FORD WINDSTAR VAN BACK AT THE END OF JULY 2004. I HAD ONE REAR TIRE TOTALLY SEPARATE FROM THE RIM AND SHRED. I WAS CHARGED MY ROAD HAZARD FEE TO REPLACE THE TIRE. AGAIN THIS PAST SUNDAY MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE RIM AND TOTALLY SHREDDED. I WAS GIVEN A NEW TIRE A NO CHARGE THIS TIME, HOWEVER THE SEPARATION WAS SO BAD THAT BY THE TIME I GOT THE VAN STOPPED MY RIM IS NOW CRACKED IN THREE DIFFERENT PLACES. *JB

  RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR IT STARTED SHAKING AND SHIMMING WHILE DRIVING WHEN YOU GOT UP TO 55 MILES PER HOUR AND WHEN YOU START TO BRAKE CAN'T HARDLY HOLD IT IN THE ROAD. FORD REPLACED ROTORS BUT IT STILL CONTINUED SEVERAL TIMES I'VE COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING EXCEPT ROTORS AGAIN.

• 12/19/1999· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  THE CAR OVERHEATED AND HAD NO HEAT INSIDE ON A DRIVE HOME FROM OUR PARENTS. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN, THE FIRST TIME, THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A FAULTY THERMOSTAT. IT WAS REPLACED, AND ON THE WAY HOME, WITH NO HEAT INSIDE AGAIN, THE CAR OVERHEATED. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS TAKEN IN THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. SO I DROVE HOME ONCE MORE IN THE COLD CAR THINKING IT WAS OK, HOWEVER THERE WAS NO HEAT AND THE CAR ONCE AGAIN OVERHEATED. ON THE CARS THIRD VISIT I WAS INFORMED THE HEAD GASKETS BLEW. NO PROBLEM, ONLY A WEEK HAS PASSED WITHOUT MY CAR IT'S ONLY $1200.00 TO FIX... ALSO I FOUND OUT THAT THE TAURUS AND WINDSTAR WERE RECALLED FOR FAULTY HEAD GASKETS. HEY, DON'T THOSE CARS HAVE THE SAME ENGINE? MADE IN THE SAME TWO PLANTS? SOUNDS FUNNY TO ME..... ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER IS APPRECIATED. *AK

• 12/15/2007· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLINGFire

  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 HESITATED TO GO BACK TO GET IT FIXED FOR FEAR THEY WILL PUT ANOTHER BAD ONE ON IT. I AM UNCERTAIN OF THE DATE AND YEAR BECAUSE I DID NOT GET A RECEIPT FROM THE SHADE TREE MECHANIC HOWEVER I TOOK THE MUSTANG TO JENKINS AND WYNN FOR DIAGNOSTICS .THEY SHOULD HAVE RECORD OF THE DAMAGE. *TR

• 12/15/1999· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  COOLANT WAS LEAKING OUT DUE TO GASKET FAILURE ON TIMING CASE COVER. THIS CAR HAS LOW MILEAGE BUT IS DRIVEN REGULALRY, NEVER SITTING MORE THAN 2 DAYS AT A TIME. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT MADE COMMENT THAT IF CAR ISN'T DRIVEN A LOT, THIS HAPPENS. I DISAGREED, AS IT IS DRIVEN PROBABLY AT LEAST 4-5 TIMES A WEEK, ON SHORT TRIPS MOSTLY. THEY CHARGED ME 505.26 INCLUDING TAX TO FIX THIS. THERE IS NO WAY THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN LEAKING. I FEEL LIKE FORD OWES ME SOMETHING ON THIS. I CALLED A FORD CONSUMER NUMBER I FOUND ON THE INTERNET AND ALL THE GUY DID WAS LISTEN IN SILENCE WHILE I MADE MY 2-3 MINUTE COMPLAINT, THEN ASKED ME 'IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE?'. HE DIDN'T EVEN OFFER TO CONNECT ME WITH ANYONE WHO COULD INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. HE SAID THAT 'WE SUPPORT OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENTS DIAGNOSIS'. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I AM VERY UPSET WITH FORD. THIS IS VERY POOR QUALITY..THE CAR ISN'T EVEN 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE. I WILL TRY TO CONTACT SOMEONE AT FORD ABOUT THIS, BUT WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. *AK

• 12/13/2000· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  INNER PORTION OF KEYSWICH ROTATES INDEPENDANTLY OF OUTER PLASTIC/METAL PORTION. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO INSERT KEY, AND VERY DIFFICULT TO START VEHICLE. AND IN MANY CASES, CAR STARTS, BUT ALL 12VOLT ACCESSORIES (AL THAT USE THE IGN. ON 12V+ WIRING) WILL FAIL TO WORK (IE:RADIO, AC BLOWER, INTERIOR LIGHTING, GAUGES). ALSO SPOKE TO 10-12 OTHER 1995 MUSTANG (BASE AND GT OWNERS) OWNERS, AND THEY ALL HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT, AND POSSIBLY IN EXTREME CASES CAUSE A FIRE NEAR THE AIRBAG ASSY. FORD CHANGED THE IGNITION KEY SYSTEM IN 1996. *AK

• 12/13/2000· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  HEAD GASKET FAILURE WITH NO WARNING- RECEIVED LETTER ABOUT HEAD GASKET I CALLED 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS THEY BOTH ADVISED ME IF THERE WAS NOT OVERHEATING OR WATER LOSE THEN THERE WAS NO NEED TO BRING IN. I CALLED TODAY FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SHE TOLD ME THERE WAS RECALL AND SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT IN IT UPSETING TO KNOW THERE WAS RECALL AND I COULD HAVE GOTTEN CHECKED BEFORE THE 100,000 MILES WAS UP. FORD HAS PROBLEM AND SHOULD FIX THESE PROBLEMS. THE CAR QUIT ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH NO WARNING. *AK

  MY NAME IS JAMES. I AM WRITING ON BEHALF OF MY WIFE. THERE WAS NO FAILURE OF EQUIPEMENT. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT YOUR RECORDS SHOW A RECALL FOR MY 95 MUSTANG CONCERNING THE HOOD. THE RECALL WAS INITIATED IN 1997. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A "FORD DEALERSHIP" IN MARCH OF 1998. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, WE KNEW OF THE RECALL FROM A FRIEND WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. WE SPECIFICALLY ASKED IF IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF. THE SALESMAN DID AN INQUIRY AND WE WERE SHOWN A PRINTOUT WHICH CONFIRMED THAT OUR VIN# DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS. 6 MONTHS LATER(SEPT), WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE ITEM WE SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED. THE TOP OF THE HOOD SEPARATING FROM THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE COULD BE FATAL. FORTUNATELY, MY WIFE AND I ARE GOOD DRIVERS. I CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW ANGRY I AM. OTHER MANUFACTURERS MAKE NATIONAL MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENTS, AND FORD DIDN'T EVEN LET THEIR OWN DEALERSHIP KNOW OF THIS LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. YOUR WEB PAGE INFORMATION INDICATES THE ENTIRE YEAR WAS RECALLED. TO ME, THIS MEANS THERE WERE NO EXEMPT VIN#'S! I HAVE CALLED FORD TWICE. THEY SAID TO CALL YOUR OFFICES. I HOPE THERE ARE NO FATALITIES CAUSED BY THEIR OBVIOUS LACK OF URGENCY. 2000 CHARACTERS IS NOT ENOUGH. I WILL ALSO CALL. THANK YOU, JAMES A. JENSEN JR.

  THIS COMPONENT WAS ALLEGEDLY COVERED UNDER A "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION" PROGRAM WHICH HAS JUST EXPIRED. THIS FAILURE CAUSED MY DAUGHTER TO BE STRANDED ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO RETURN HOME FROM COLLEGE. I BELIEVE HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS WITH FORD V-6 ENGINES SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE DUE TO THEIR HIGH OCCURRANCE AND THE DANGERS WHICH THESE FAILURES CAUSE. DT

• 12/10/1999· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  THE SEAT TRACK ON MY CAR BROKE RIGHT AFTER THE 3 YEARS WAS UP, ALTHOUGH AS OF NOW I HAVE JUST OVER 32200 MILES ON THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO TILT THE DRIVER'S SEAT UP ALL THE WAY. WHEN TAKEN TO DIFFERENT DEALERS AND CALLING FORDS 800 NUMBER I WAS TOLD IT WASN'T COVERED SINCE THE TIME WAS UP. I REPLACED THE SEAT AND FOUND THAT THE METAL HAD SNAPPED IN TWO PLACES( NEAR THE HOLES WHERE THE SEAT WAS BOLTED DOWN) WOULD THIS BE AS A SAFETY PROBLEM? I STILL HAVE THE ORIGNAL PARTS. DT
