ENGINE PROBLEM - TIMING COVER GASKET DEVELOPED A LEAK AND WAS REPLACED AT 49753 MILES. HEAD GASKET FAILED LATER AT 58422 MILES ON 12/15/02 WHILE DRIVING. (I PREVIOUSLY REPORTED THE HEAD GASKET FAILURE OCCURRED ON 12/30/02, BUT THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE DATE ON THE REPAIR BILL, NOT THE DATE THE FAILURE OCCURRED). *NLM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
ENGINE OVER HEATED, NEVER INDICATED OVER HEATING WHICH CAUSED LOSS OF POWER AND WORPED HEADS. HAD COOLANT PROBLEM FROM THE FIRST TIME OF PURCHASE OF CAR. A FRIEND OF MINE GAVE ME A LETTER FROM FORD ADDRESSED TO HIM ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THE 1994 3.8L HAD A HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS THAT ALSO LIST 4 TYPES OF SYSTOMS WHICH MY 5.0 MUSTANG HAD FROM THE FIRST TIME PURCHASED. WHEN CALLING THE FORD MOTOR CO. THEY SAID THIS NOTICE WAS NOT FOR THE 5.0L. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS IT IS TO COINCIDENTAL THAT THE 5.0L LITERS ARE HAVING THE SAME SYSTOMS.

STEERING:RACK AND PINION
WHEN BACKING UP AND TURNING THE WHEEL IN ANY DIRECTION THE CAR MAKES A BUMPING SENSATION AS WELL AS SQUEAKS. IT FEELS AS IF MOST OF THE BUMPING IS COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AXEL OR WHEEL AREA AS WELL AS THE REAR OF THE CAR AND IT WILL ACTUALLY SHIFT THE CAR AND ALTER THE ACCURATE PATH OF DIRECTION. THE MUSTANG HAS ALSO BEEN MAKING SQUEAKS AND GRINDING NOISES WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT. I HAVE A 1994 MUSTANG GT CONVERTIBLE. *NLM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
RECENTLY MY CAR STARTED OVERHEATING WITHOUT WARNING. I REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT. IT WAS GOOD FOR TWO WEEKS THEN ON A FIVE MINUTE DRIVE DOWN THE STREET IT OVERHEATED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE HEAD GASKETS WERE BLOWN AND IT WOULD COST ME $1,600.00 I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED IN MAY OF 2001. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOV. 2001 ONLY HAS 85,000 MILES ON IT. FROM WHERE I SIT THIS IS AN EXTENDED PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND FORD SHOULD TAKE ACTION TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM UP TO 100,000 MILES. IT SEEMS THAT 50,000 - 80,000 MILES IS WHEN THE PROBLEM BEGINS WITH THIS CAR.

1994 3.8 LITER HEAD GASKETS LEAKING .FORD TELLS ME RECALL IS ONLY GOOD FOR 7 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. THE CAR HAS ONLY 74,000 MILES ON IT.THE CAR WAS FIRST DELIVERED IN NOV. 1993. A LETTER WAS SENT TO THE ORGINAL OWNER( I'AM NOT ORGINAL OWNER) ON 4-27-2000. 6 YEARS AND 4 MONTHS AFTER DELIVERY. FORD NOW SAYS 7 YEARS HAS GONE BY AND IT DOES NOT MATTER THAT THERE IS ONLY 74,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. FORD WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE REPAIRS. I BELEIVE THEY SHOULD STAND BEHIND THE 100,000 MILE RECALL, KNOWING THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE.

ON NOVEMBER 4 MY 1994 FORD MUSTANG STOPPED RUNNING. I HAD IT TOWED TO A TRUSTED FAMILY MECHANIC, AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE HEAD GASKETS HAD BLOWN. AS OF TODAY 11/14/2002 MY CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP BEING WORKED ON, AND SO FAR THE BILL IS AT $1050 AND GROWING. MY MECHANIC WAS VERY SURPRISED AND SHOCKED WHEN HE DISCOVERED IT WAS HEAD GASKETS, BECAUSE I HAVE A LITTLE LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON MY CAR. ****DIMS 11 IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****769756. *AK *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE CAR WILL DOWNSHIFT AND THE RPM WILL INCREASE TO 3500-4000 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT RANDOM, AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, AND FREQUENTLY. I TOOK TO TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION CHECKED OUT OK. I HAVE READ MANY SIMULAR COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THIS SITE. WHY HASN'T ACTION BEEN TAKEN TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT? DT

THE FORD 3.8L MOTOR HAS A DEFECTIVE HEAD GASKET WHICH FORD IS AWARE OFF, AND HAS EXTENDED A WARRANTY FOR THIS PART TO 7 YEARS OR 100000 MILES BUT IF THE CAR IS OUTSIDE THOSE GUIDLINES OR IF THE CAE IS CHECKED BY A DEALER AND IS OK WHEN CHECKED THE CO. WILL NOT FIX THE DEFECTIVE PART. WHEN THIS OCCURRED ON MY CAR IT STALLED ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT .*AK
