Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 3.8l engine has gone out on my 94 thunderbird 3 times since new. i do drive my car for work and put on average 35000 miles a year. this seems to be a reacurring problem for now i have 95 mustang engine in this car and the same problem has happened again. first engine replaced in alabama with a private repair place so i have no documentation of repair. second went out at 160,000 after rebuilt. purchased 3rd engine from young man who was taking it from mustang to install some thing bigger. the third had 65000 miles and has gone out within 25000 miles after i installed it. seems kinda fishy will never own a ford again. ford will not reemberse me for any repair since the only receipt i ahve reflects 160000 miles at time of 2nd repair.
