In a parking lot was not able to start the vehicle. Nothing was wrong with the battery. Had the vehicle towed to the dealer, and they couldn't find anything wrong. This happened intermittently.
Ford is aware of the premature failure of head gaskets...I recieved a notice,however when my engine gasket blew and the car overheated I was at 75,600.600 miles over the extended warenty.now 3 days after paying for a new gasket and all the repairs my dealer said the car needed.I was told the car needs a new engine which will cost and estimated 3,500-4,000$more.....may I add the car is only 4 yrs old....ford will not assume any responcibility.now you must be asking yourself....is this a safty issue?.let me answer that.when you are traveling 55mph and your engine stalls because it lost oil pressure after it got hot,and you suddenly lose all power....well yes....it almost caused a very bad accident I.
Vehicle was serviced for an oil change and they noticed that the motor mounts were broken . Contacted dealer to have them repaired.
Engine head gasket went out twice. Dealer replaced the engine head gasket due to oil leaking. Also, crankcase went out, and the dealer can't determine the cause of the problem.
This is repulsive that there are so many propblems with fords with 3.8... Everyone has the same problem.. Someone make ford pay.
When driivng at any speed and applying the brakes, the brakes are going half way to the floorboard. Also, motor mounts went out/ air conditioning unit failed, and was blowing hot air, and transmission had to be replaced due to vehicle stalling, cutting off and shifting hard. Vehicle has been into the shop for repair service three times and, the dealer can't determine the causes of the problem.
There was a very strong smell of gas fumes inside the car while driving. This is second or third time this has happened. Conditions under which this happened was speed 35-45, temp gauge on m in normal, outside temp approx 90, AC on max cooling, fan on hi, fuel warning light on, less than 1/8 tank of gas. Fumes were so strong I started getting dizzy and had to pull off road to air out vehicle.

While driving at highway speeds the vehicle will completely shut down without warning. Please give any further details.
The vehicle would quit running due to missing par t in engine. The modulator had gone bad. This cuts off fuel to fuel pump. The gas tank had smoke coming out. Took to dealer & had the fuel pump replaced.

Radiator overflow is two pieces and the top is gluded on. If vehicle overheats top of plastic radiator overflow container will explode sending boiling antifreeze onto anyone in vincity.

Protective cover on catalytic converter fell off making it unsafe to park vehicle on grassy areas. Nlm
Vehicle stalls with no indication.
The vehicle started overheating. Head gasket was leaking anti-freeze. Took to dealer & mechanic noticed an oil leak. The transmission oil was leaking, but location could not be found.
When the air temperature is extremely hot and humid (above 90 degrees) and the car has been driven for a period of time, stalling occurs, mostly at idle. This seems to occur when the car has been driven for a long time, parked, and then started again after a short period of time. The car will not restart until it has cooled down considerably. I noticed that there was at least one other complaint concerning this problem. I have not had this problem fixed because it is intermittent and has only happened twice in the time I've owned the car. What gives?
Engine head gasket has blown which caused the check oil light to come on. Vehicle cannot be driven right now. Dealer has vehicle.
