ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY MUSTANG HAD HEAD GASKETS REPLACED IN MAY 2000. 3 MONTHS LATER THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN OCTOBER 2000. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE WAS RECALLED BUT WASN'T INFORMED OF THAT UNTIL THE ENGINE FAILED. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT BECAUSE IT WASN'T A SAFETY RECALL THEY WEREN'T REQUIRED TO INFORM THE OWNERS OF THE CARS.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I CARRIED MY CAR TO A MECHANIC FOR ANOTHER PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE IN MY CAR WAS KNOWN FOR HAVING PROBLEMS WITH BLOWN HEAD GASKETS. AT THIS TIME I BROUGHT THE CAR HOME AND CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I THEN CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT A RECALL BUT A WARRANTY ISSUE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO FORD AND I FEEL THAT ANY KNOWN PROBLEM OF THIS NATURE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE. I ALSO FEEL THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. I DON'T THINK I CAN EVER BUY ANOTHER FORD DUE TO THE WAY I HAVE BEEN TREATED BY FORD. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM CONFIRMED AND I DO HAVE BLOWN HEAD GASKETS. I FEEL THAT EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS OVER 7 YEARS OLD BUT STILL UNDER THE 100K MILES THAT FORD SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO HELP SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THANK GOODNESS I STILL HAD MY PREVIOUS VEHICLE, NOT A FORD, THAT IS A 1989 MODEL OR I WOULD HAVE HAD TO IMMEDIATELY REPLACED THE ENGINE OR BOUGHT ANOTHER CAR.*AK
