“I'm also having electrical problems, get shocked every time you touch the car. The windshield wipers work when they want to and the turn signals work only when they want to as well. Along with the head gasket blowing this car has been nothing but trouble for me. Also the trunk leaks and smells musty and the rear window will not defog when it is raiining. I'm very disappointed in Ford.”

NHTSA complaint #757129, filed 2002-01“I had a problem with my 1995 Ford Mustang 5.0 stalling. After taking it in 4 times over the course of a month starting 6-8-00 and finally on 7-22-00 the Ford dealership replaced the stator part#e9tz 12a112 a at a cost of $312.09. This was after paying $476.68 for a new mass airflow sensor, cleaning of the injectors, replacing the air filter, and fuel filter the first time around which did nothing to fix the problem. Sounds to me like the 1995 mustangs should also be included in this recall, especially since the 1994 mustangs are in it. …”
