“I recently just had a recall done on my car. Recall - cooling fan motor circuit breaker installation on my 1995 Ford mustang tuesday 5/6/03. I picked my car up that wednesday 5/7/03 and now my car is overheating. I am going back and forth with Ford service department ar premier Ford in grand blanc michigan cause their trying to tell me that what occurred was not likely. They said the recall couldn't have caused this but I beg to differ. I noticed it instantly like the day I drove it, and it started to overheat. …”

“At unpredictable moments, usually but not exclusively while slowing to a stop, with my foot on the brake, the engine will rev up and cause the car to lunge forward, instead of staying at idle as it should while coming to a stop. I know this seems incredible, and may be an inaccurate observation on my part, but it seems that the harder that I push down on the brake in these situations, the stronger the engine pulls. The first time this happened, about fourteen months ago, I just about had a heart attack and almost ran into a building, as I was parking the vehicle. …”

“Broke down on highway with water and smoke everywhere. Had it towed to a garage and had to have the head gasket replaced . Ford refunded us the money and it worked for awhile but began overheating again and had to add water everyday. Husband passed away in 2006 and until 2008 except for starting it, I did not drive it. Had the cooling system fixed again at my cost and I am back approx 6 mts with the same problem overheating again and check engine light on. Car sounds awful and I cannot afford to fix it again.”

NHTSA complaint #10261547, filed 2009-03

“Head gasket failure...after taking my 95 mustang to 3 different Ford dealerships over the past 4 years trying to resolve a check eng. Light problem and a motor problem I was told it was just bad gas... Now that the 7 year/100000 extended warranty is over, Ford said it's not their problem and we will not fix it under the warranty. The car has 87000 miles and is past the 7 years by 6 months. And get this... The one dealership that spent the most time on the problem said they never had the car there and show no records of there being a problem. …”
