Vehicle has been serviced for front brake rotor repair under warranty.
- Staten Isl, NY, USA
3 separate problems: Front disk rotors have warped twice and had to be reground. A/C compressor bearings froze causing drive belt to emit acrid smoke that filled the passenger compartment (happened on original and again on replacement). Temp gauge showed fluctuating temperature until bearings froze completely (happened with 2 different compressors). Parking brake released causing car to roll into neighbors vehicle, causing damage (parking brake handle was in the up position with no tension felt when the parking brake was moved to the down position.)

Baught car in August of 2000, drove it one week and it has been in the shop numerous times for various items fixed; ie; overheated twice then blew headgasket, drivers rear rotor caught on fire, recall on hood which was separating, major fuel leak, fuel hose by fuel tank, water leak from timing cover gasket
- Rio Linda, CA, USA
This engine is the same as the Taurus and Windstar. Both vehicles engines have bullitins on their head gasket problems. The Mustang has the same problems but Ford refuses to do anything about this. I run synthetic oil in this car and have changed the antifreeze every 20000 miles. I change the oil at 3000 miles religiously. This is the only reason it has lasted this long. I have also had problems with the A/C brake rotors and rear differential. Ford needs to address this problem, and quite making excuses.rress/cytrh
