Head gaskets blewout, causing coolant to leak. Dealer notified.
1992 Ford Taurus engine complaints
Page 3 of 8: complaints 41 to 70 of 216, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Engine cooling fan circuit is bad, causing vehicle to overheat and head gasket to blowout. A recall has been issued on vehicle make and model; however, this vehicle is not included due to VIN.
When putting on brakes vehicle pulls to right, and makes a grinding noise. Took vehicle to dealer, and it was motor mounts.
The first transmission went in 1999 and was replaced for $2500. In dec 2000 the head gasket went and it destroyed my new tranny also so I needed to get them both fixed. It also destroyed my radiator which I also just replaced. In two years time I have put close to $6000 into this car. I contacted ford and they told me to write to you. I believe the head destroyed alot of my parts and that it should not have blown at 94000 miles. I also know other fords were known for this and ford covered it. I feel ford should reimburse me for a least half of the $6000 I spent in the past year. Thank you.
Prematurely cracked and rotted components. Engine mounts were already replaced via previous recall.
Head gasket failed, consumer owns two of these vehicles that have had the head gasket replaced. Nlm
Recall 98v323000. Vehicle was repaired under recall on march 5, 1999. While driving engine separated from motor mounts.
Front and rear motor mounts broke twice, replaced 1999 & 2001. No recall was received regarding this problem. I need information for reimbursement.
From all the information I have been able to review, there seems to be an unusally high incidence of head gasket failures in the 3.8l engine. This would seem to indicate a factory defect problem.
Head gasket failed prematurely at 60,000 miles, also caused damage to engine.*ak a few days after replacement, vehicle stalled and was taken to dealer, dealer informed consumer that engine needed replaced.
Very dissatisfied with my car, never buy another ford, always a problem, can't depend on it for any length of time, now has 3 sparks plugs frozen in it because of it blowing a head gasket and I didn't know this until tune up time, just disgusted with the whole ordeal.
Motor mounts have been replaced 7 times in 5 years. Not notified of recall. Not happy at all with purchase of car and seller has done nothing to correct the problem.
Head gasket failed, ford recalled 1994 and 1995 model and consumer request reimbursement. Nlm

While travelling 40 MPH headgasket blewout, causing fluid to contaminate the alternator which also had to be replaced.
I am upset, that I got my oil changed every 3,000 miles, there is no other reason why my gasket can fail so early (at 84,000 miles). This is quite expensive to repair, and I believe it may have something to do with how the vehicle was made. That is why it blew on me, not becuase of my fault. If someone can get back in touch with me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
Vehicle stalls when driving long distances in hot weather and in traffic, vehicle also surges when idling or after driving long distances and pulling to a toll booth or red light.
I purchased this car with 13,000 orig mi..I have carefully and methodically maintained my car..why did headgasket fail at such low mileage?
Blown head gasket.

Vehicle stalls espically upon acceleartion, ie pulling out into traffic lane
This warrants a recall if anything this violates the clean air act-emissions during failure
The vehicles motor mounts came off which resulted in engine acceleration.

Engine 3.8 head gasket blewout. There were no prior warning. Consumer was traveling on the highway, and she was looking though her side mirror and noticed white smoke coming from underneath vehicle.
Motor mounts broke, causing engine to drop while driving which may have caused a loss of vehicle control. Please provide further information.
On cold mornings, the engine will suddenly staw after five minutes of driving. Allowing the car to warm up at idle does not eliminate problem. According to the dealer, the car's computer reports no problems and they are at a loss what to do.
