Requesting assistance in repairing 1995 Mustang cooling fan safety recall. (nar)

- Redmond, WA, USA

Blown head gasket in my 1995 Mustang. This Mustang has the 3.8L 6 cylinder engine. This vehicle has been well maintained since purchase, and currently has less than 77600 miles on it. Gasket blew during normal driving operation. I contacted the Ford Motor Company after doing some research on the internet and seeing that there was a recall on this particular vehicle for exactly this problem after hundreds of different complaints had been lodged. I was told that while there were 3 current recalls for this vehicle, that the recall for the head gasket had expired. This repair is going to cost me $1700 + while I do realize that the warranty was extended to a 7 year 100,000 mile and I am over the time frame(7 years) this vehicle is still well under the mileage that something like this could remotely happen.. so now I am being penalized for purchasing a product with poorly designed components. Ford has offered no recourse (except to let me pay for their error).. this is why I will absolutely never purchase any Ford product again.. additionally I will advise all of my aqquaintances of this situation and Ford (non) response.

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.

In July 2002, my Mustang started overheating and I received a recall notice, (recall # 01S30), I took my car to Ford and they said they would check it for more damage. I got my car back and it still overheated, so L called Ford and they told me to bring it back in and they would check to see what the problem was. They told me there was nothing wrong.. so I replaced the head gaskets and it still got hot, so I had the fan motor checked and that is what was wrong, so replaced, and the car ran fine until April 2003, so I started replacing cooling system parts until, the head gaskets blew again, so I replaced for a second time and relized that the problem was the fan circuit breaker again.. I again had to replace the circuit breaker and the fan motor.. I also called Ford again and got that the part was out of warranty and that there was nothing they could do for me.. I now have blown head gaskets for the third time in a year.

Ford tells me that my VIN is not on the list of vehicles they are covering under their extened warranty on a 3.8 engine in my 1995 Ford Mustang even though the 3.8 Ford Mustang is supposed to be covered, they will not cover my car as it has overheated about half a dozen times already in the three years I have had it. They will not even attempt to help me, they just tell me "we are not going to fix it, problem resolved" but the problem is not resolved, I still have a problem with my 1995 Ford Mustang and I want it resolved, because they are the ones that made the mistake in the way that engine and cooling system was made, and now they should fix it. No safety defec tmentioned.
