Car has had serious braking, transmission and cooling problems since the date purchased. Has been in the shop for these repairs more then 12 times. Dealer & ford have said there is nothing wrong with this car. I have read 33 pages of comments of 1996 mustang owners who are experiencing the same serious defects that I have. Please do something about this unsafe vehicle!
