“I have a 1995 Mercury Sable that has a bad head gasket. I was told by my mechanic that there was a recall by ford, but after calling and leaving messages, I am unable to confirm this. Please advise. Thank you! I am also listing numerous problems that have occurred with the suspension and brakes in the last year.”

Speedmeter needle jumped to 85 MPH while driving 55 MPH once. Sturcture failure in the trunk, up/right corner had a crack which let rain water leaks in the trunk. My air condition gives mildrew/musky when use. My car was never in accident.”
NHTSA complaint #701556, filed 1998-12“This problem had only occurred previously when idling at traffic lights, etc. This was the first time it happened going down the highway. We were traveling down a two lane highway at 60 MPH when suddenly the engine stalled. We managed to get it off the side of the road. When the car stalls, the power brakes and power steering quits also. It was 104 degrees outside and spending 1-1/2 hours on the side of the road with a four year old without anything to drink was horrible, she could have dehydrated very easily. …”
