ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
INNER PORTION OF KEYSWICH ROTATES INDEPENDANTLY OF OUTER PLASTIC/METAL PORTION. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO INSERT KEY, AND VERY DIFFICULT TO START VEHICLE. AND IN MANY CASES, CAR STARTS, BUT ALL 12VOLT ACCESSORIES (AL THAT USE THE IGN. ON 12V+ WIRING) WILL FAIL TO WORK (IE:RADIO, AC BLOWER, INTERIOR LIGHTING, GAUGES). ALSO SPOKE TO 10-12 OTHER 1995 MUSTANG (BASE AND GT OWNERS) OWNERS, AND THEY ALL HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT, AND POSSIBLY IN EXTREME CASES CAUSE A FIRE NEAR THE AIRBAG ASSY. FORD CHANGED THE IGNITION KEY SYSTEM IN 1996. *AK

HEAD GASKET FAILURE WITH NO WARNING- RECEIVED LETTER ABOUT HEAD GASKET I CALLED 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS THEY BOTH ADVISED ME IF THERE WAS NOT OVERHEATING OR WATER LOSE THEN THERE WAS NO NEED TO BRING IN. I CALLED TODAY FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SHE TOLD ME THERE WAS RECALL AND SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT IN IT UPSETING TO KNOW THERE WAS RECALL AND I COULD HAVE GOTTEN CHECKED BEFORE THE 100,000 MILES WAS UP. FORD HAS PROBLEM AND SHOULD FIX THESE PROBLEMS. THE CAR QUIT ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH NO WARNING. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I AM EXTREMELY UPSET WITH THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT A CAR WITH ONLY 67,000 MILES WOULD JUST BLOW BOTH HEAD GASKETS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE $1180.00 IS COMPLETELY UNAFFORDABLE FOR ME, FOR THE FACT THAT I AM FINISHING MY COLLEGE EDUCATION. WAITING TABLES IN THE EVENING AT BENNIGAN'S JUST IS NOT ENOUGH TO COVER THIS PRICEY REPAIR. WHEN I BOUGHT THE MUSTANG I FIGURED IF I BUY A DECENT VEHICLE WITH A REASONABLE PAYMENT I CAN RUN IT FOR QUITE A WHILE WITH OUT ANY SERIOUS REPAIR. AND SO NOW ON TOP OF THE $165.00 A MONTH PAYMENT I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PAY FOR $1180.00 COURTESY OF THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I PLAN ON CONTACTING FORD THE FIRST CHANCE I GET AND TELL THEM ABOUT THIS RIDICULOUS PROBLEM. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A FORD PRODUCT AGAIN.*AK
