The engine cooling fan has failed to operate due to the possible siezing of the fan bearing. The fan harness as a result has melted and resulted in a very large drain on the vehicle battery leading to no electrical power and the vehicle stalling when the vehicle temperature rises above normal. A similar recall has been filed for ford vehicles with a ford recall of ford recall # 01s30or the federal safety agency recall no 01v390000. This vehicle has not been included on the recall according to ford motor company representative and deserves serious consideration for a recall repair.

The following problem has existed on this vehicle since the first summer I have owned it. When I place the gear selector in reverse or drive, the car surges, the RPM drops and fluctuates, and the vehicle either turns off or settles down. At times when I'm at a stop sign, I press the gas to go and the car hesitates and either stops or surges forward so I have to keep my foot on the brake and keep pushing on the gas pedal so the car won't stall on me in the middle of traffic. This has been an ongoing problem which has never been corrected by the dealership. I've taken the car to the dealership numerous times and have spoken to the service manager numerous times with no success. When I take the car in for service, I am always told the car was hooked up to the computer and that the computer found nothing wrong with the car. They've replaced parts on the vehilce but it continues to respond the same way. These problems always seem to be worse in the summer when the weather is hot and humid and has never been corrected. I don't know how to approach this matter. I know if I continue to take the car in to the dealership they are going to keep charging me for just hooking it up to the computer and finding nothing wrong with it when in reality there is something wrong with it. This has been going on for 7 years now and I don't know what to do.

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. I have all my receipts please let me know how I should proceed.
