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.
Engine failure due to head gasket failure which was recalled by Ford due to aknowlegded problem. Repair service was done by Ford with suppose corrected gasket. Now the same problem has reoccurred, and Ford will offer no assistance in correcting the problem. Ford is recommending a compleat engine replacement at my own expence.
1995 Ford Mustang, 6 cyl. The rubber seal between the gas tank and the filler tube is leaking. This is the second time in two years that this has happened. The seal was replaced two years ago, and will have to be replaced again. The leak is substantial, it is a steady drip, 1/2 gallon per hour.
My head gaskets in my 95 Mustang 3.8 liter blew on 4-20-00, BBB investigated, and Ford Motor Co. Agreed to do repairs free. Lanham Ford in lanham md. Repalaced head gaskets. Returned my car without oil, and severly damaged the engine. They replaced engine also. My car had 73214 miles then. Now it has app. 100,600 miles, 28,00 miles later and sheehy Ford in marlow heights md. States my head gaskets need to be replaced. Same problem as before, except, they are charging me for repairs. Ford is aware of the ongoing problems and complaints with these head gaskets. I believe that when they initially repaired my car they put in more head gasket defects. Am I responsible for paying every 28,000 miles for head gaskets that are defected Ford keeps putting in my vehicle. NHTSA have an enormous amounts of head gaskets cpomplaints by Ford. Please look into for. Thank you
