HEAD GASKETS ON MY CAR HAVE BROKE. THIS IS RARE BECAUSE MY CAR HAS LOW MILEAGE. FORD HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON OTHER MODELS LIKE THE ASTROVAN, AND TARUS. BUT NOT THE MUSTANG AND IT IS THE SAME PROMBLEM. THEIR HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ALSO. *AK

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL DOWN DRIVEWAY RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. NLM

HEAD GASKETS FAILED. I WOULD START MY CAR IN THE MORNING AND NOTICE THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE GO UP RAPIDLY. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE NEVER WENT PAST NORMAL AND INTO THE RED, BUT IT WAS MUCH WARMER THAN USUAL. DURING THIS TIME, NO HEAT WOULD BLOW. THEN THE TEMP WOULD DROP AND WARM AIR WOULD BLOW. WE CHANGED THE THERMOSTAT, TEMPERATURE SENSOR, AND HAD THE RADIATOR FLUSHED(WHICH DID SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR NEARLY A MONTH). NOTHING LEFT BUT THE HEAD GASKETS AND MAYBE EVEN A CRACKED HEAD. *AK

FORD IS AWARE THAT THE 3.8L ENGINE HAS A HEAD GASKET PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT RECALL THESE CARS OR PAY FOR MY REPAIR BILL. ALSO THE CAR ONLY HAD 2,300 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT. *AK
