1995 FORD MUSTANG Complaints

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

FUEL FILLER MADE OF RUBBER GASKET HAD GASOLINE EAT THROUGH RUBBER, CAUSING A BIG LEAK. *AK

FAN MOTOR FAILURE CAUSED ENGINE OVERHEAT AND RADIATOR FAILURE. RECALL ON SAME YEAR AND MODEL CAR 95 FORD MUSTANG BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER ACCORDING TO FORD. I AM REPORTING AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM FOR ADDED RECALL. THE DEALER AND FORD WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS.$1239.12 NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 01I11000. VIN [XXX] THANKS FOR LOOKING INTO IT. TS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVERS SEAT BROKE! THE SEAT TRACK SNAPPED IN TWO PLACES (METAL) WHERE CONNECTED TO THE FLOOR. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER I AM TOLD IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAVE TO PAY THE $228.00 FOR A NEW SEAT, PLUS LABOR. CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, WAS LIKE A ROLLER COSTER RIDE WHEN TURNING CORNERS. I'VE NOTICED OVER 10 OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY ISN'T IT A RECALL?

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

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

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO ACCELERATE. DEALER NOTIFIED. TS

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING THE HEAD GASKET BLEW CAUSING THE CONSUMER TO PULL OVER. DEALER REPLACE TWICE. TS

THIS TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED IN NOV. 1999 AND CURRENTLY HAS TO BE REPAIRED AGAIN. FORD MOTOR DENIES ANY KNOWLEDGE OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, IN RESEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND INFORMATION SAYING THE TORQUE CONVERTERS ARE BAD AND THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH OF THEM TO GO AROUND FOR A RECALL. THIS ALONG WITH OTHER ARTICLES INDICATING THAT FORD IS AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH THESE TRANSIMISSION BUT WON'T FESS UP BECAUSE OF THE COST FACTOR. MOREOVER, IN AN ARTICLE FOUND @ EPINIONS.COM A SERVICE MGR. IN FLA. REFERS TO THIS PROBLEM AS A "QUIET RECALL." DT
