ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS : IE THE RECALL FOR THE DRIVER SEAT WIRING HARNESS AND ALSO HAS POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS OF RECALL ON 1994 TAURUS, LINCOLN AND MERCURY MALFUNCTION ING CIRCUIT BREAKER CAUSING HEADLIGHTS TO FLASH INTERMITTENLIY. SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR IN OCT. OF 98 I HAVE HAD PROBLEM WITH MY RADIO PICKING UP MOTOR NOISES, IF I TURNED ON MY BRIGHTS THEN AT SOME POINT ALL HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO OFF, AND NOW, BEGINNING 01/99 MY HEADLIGHTS GO ON AND OFF AT RANDOM WHETHER THE CAR IS MOVING OR IDLING. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE MECHANIC DUE TO THE FACT THE $1500 EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT THEY SOLD ME DOES NOT COVER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SO NOW I TURN TO YOU FOR HELP TO SEE IF OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS. THANK YOU

#700368November 6, 1998
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I AM AWARE THAT THE ENGINE USED IN MY 3.8L 1994 MUSTANG IS NEARLY IDENTICAL TO THE ENGINES OF TAURUS, AND WINDSTAR, WITH THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BEING REAR WHEEL DRIVE VS. FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. HOWEVER, THERE IS A RECALL SURROUNDING THE TAURUS AND WINDSTAR 3.8L V-6 ENGINE REGARDING BLOWN HEAD GASKETS. MY HEAD GASKET JUST BLEW ON MY 3.8L MUSTANG AND I FEEL THAT THE SAME DEFECT OR RECALL SHOULD APPLY TO ALL TO 3.8L MUSTANGS AS WELL.

#540192August 21, 1998
SUSPENSION:MULTIPLE AXLE
THE REAR STABILIZER BAR BROKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AT THE REAR-MOST ATTACHING POINT. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SN95 PLATFORM MUSTANG (94-98) OF THIS SAME EXACT FAILURE. UPON REPLACEMENT OF THE PART IT WAS REALIZED THAT THE REAR STABILIZER BAR HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACED. THE BUILD DATE ON THE PART THAT BROKE WAS FROM YEAR 1996 THE VEHICLE IS A 1994. WITH THE NUMBER OF FAILURES OF THIS PARTICULAR PART AND THE SCENERIOUS A BEING ALMOST IDENTICAL, I SHOULD THINK THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME ATTENTION GIVEN TO THE MATTER BY FORD IN THE FORM OF A RECALL. I BELIEVE MYSELF TO BE VERY LUCKY THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.
