| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 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 1700.00 + 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 fords (non) response. *ak |
