1995 Ford Mustang engine complaints
Page 12 of 13: complaints 311 to 340 of 341, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Check engine light on, vehicle diagnosed with blown head gasket.
Consumer went start up vehicle and noticed white smoke coming from the engine. Engine head gasket blew out.
It was found that the federal safety agency has been conducting an investigation into this head gasket problem since 1995 (investigation # ie98080). When a ford dealer was contacted, he expalained that ford was having trouble with the head gaskets on the 3.8 liter engine. They have since been changed. Could you please notify me if there has been a recall on this engine for early head gasket failure. Thank you.
Blew engine head gasket at 43000 miles
Ford contacted. Complaint placed in database never to be seen again. Waiting for recall..... Total repair cost was only $500 less than replacing the entire engine (labor incl)
This car is immacualte and maintenace performed as outlined. It is my understanding that recall # 98-mo1 has been issued for a head gasket problem with this engine, just not for my model. This is rediculous. It is my feeling that the mustang 3.8l engine is no different than that that has been recalled on the windstar, taurus, and sable. Just because my car has not been included in the recall, does not mean that it shouldn't be included in the recall. I personally know 2 other individuals that also have 3.8l. Mustangs that have blown their head gaskets in the last 6 months. There is no reason that a well-maintained automobile that is not driven hard should be experiencing this problem with this few of miles. It is also my undrstanding that the recall ended on 12-31-98. I did have my car in and diagonosed as having a head gasket problem on 12-28-98 at st. George ford.
Engine overheated causing the aluminum head block to crack.
Vehicle has a blown engine head gasket. There is a recall on taurus with same engine 3.8l. Dealer and manufacturer contacted and aware. This vehicle does not comply with the recall. Problem still exists. No warranty. Provide further information.
