The major problem was the head gasket failure (after 100,000 miles) with the engine needing to be replaced. I was not notified at any time regarding this recall. Ford denies that this problem was a recall and that it was my fault that the engine went since I do not do all my repairs at the ford dealership and if I had, I would've been notified of the head gasket failure problem. Even though I was not notified by mail or by phone of this problem, ford told me that since the car went over 100,000 miles and was three monthe past the deadline date that I was out of luck and that there would be no extensions or exceptions. The biggest problem that I have is that I did not experience a head gasket failure during their so called warranty extension period and that my 1994 ford mustang only failed shortly after the warranty extension expired. A defective part is a defective part from the day of manufacture to the day the car is junked unless the part is repaired or replaced. So much time and money was put out by me because of ford's lack of customer service. I deserved to have been reimbursed by the ford motor corporation but in turn I received nothing. I could go on but this is very upsetting to me. Thank you for listening.

I have experienced two separate problems with my ford mustang gt. Both problems have been "repaired" while the vehilce was under warranty, however, I feel that the actions taken were only sufficient to carry the vehicle through the warranty period. The largest problem that I have experienced has been with my antilock brakes. On six different occasions I have had my vehicle in the shop at ford dealers for repairs to my antilock brakes. The typical prognosis was that a sensor needed to be changed. Ironically, once the vehcile was out of warranty, due to age, the antilock brake failure required a new module costing approximately $1,200. I pleaded my case with ford on this expense and they agreed to pick up the cost of the repair. No later than 4 months had passed and the problems continued. I procrastinated some four to five months prior to having the vehicle returned to the same dealership for repairs to the antilock brakes. This time the problem was different and would cost $1,100. Again I pleaded
