THIS ENGINE IS THE SAME AS THE TAURUS AND WINDSTAR. BOTH VEHICLES ENGINES HAVE BULLITINS ON THEIR HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS. THE MUSTANG HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT FORD REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. I RUN SYNTHETIC OIL IN THIS CAR AND HAVE CHANGED THE ANTIFREEZE EVERY 20000 MILES. I CHANGE THE OIL AT 3000 MILES RELIGIOUSLY . THIS IS THE ONLY REASON IT HAS LASTED THIS LONG. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE A/C BRAKE ROTORS AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, AND QUITE MAKING EXCUSES.RRESS/CYTRH

I WOULD LIKE HELP REGARDING NHSTA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 95V138000 REFERENCING THE PROBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER READING. THIS IDENTIFIED FORD MUSTANGS (1995) MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JULY 94 - JAN. 95. THE SUMMARY STATED "THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH SPEEDOMETERS REGISTERING SPPED IN MPH BUT THE ODOMETERS INDICATING DISTANCE IN KILOMETERS. THE ODOMETERS WERE INTENDED TO INDICATE DISTANCE IN MILES AND WERE NOT IDENTIFIED WITH THE METRIC 'KM' DESIGNATION. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS NO. 101, CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS." THE END RESULT WAS THAT FORD DID NOT HAVE TO RECALL THE CARS OR NOTIFY THE OWNERS AS THE NONCOMPLIANCE DID NOT CREATE AN UNREASONABLE RISK TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY. MY PROBLEM IS THIS. IF THE MILES REGISTERED ON THE ODOMETER ARE ACTUALLY IN KILOMETERS THAN A VEHICLE THAT SHOWS 77500 ACTUALLY ONLY HAS 47845 MILES (77500 MULTIPLIED TIMES A KILOMETER 0.62137). AS THIS CAR BLEW OUT HEAD GASKETS (ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH FORD AND REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE ON MUSTANGS) AT 77500 MILES, IT SHOULD STILL BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY THAT GOES UNTIL 75000 MILES. AS I SPOKE WITH "BILL" AT FORD MOTOR CENTER (800-392-3673) HE SAID THAT THIS WAS CORRECT AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED IF MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED WITHIN THAT TIME. THE DOOR OF THE CAR IS IMPRINTED WITH THE DATE JAN/95. I TOLD HIM THIS AND HE TOOK THE VIN NUMBER AND CALLED ME BACK TO STATE IT SHOULD BE COVERED, HOWEVER, MY CAR WAS RESEARCHED AND FOUND TO ACTUALLY BE MANUFACTURED FEB. 1, 1995 AND NOT IN JANUARY, 1995. HE SAID THE METAL IMPRINT WAS WRONG. I ASKED FOR THIS INFORMATION IN WRITING AND HE WAS NOT SURE THAT WAS POSSIBLE. THE CAR DOES HAVE THE IMPRINT JAN, 1995 AND I HAVE THE ORIGINAL STICKER FOR THE CAR WHICH SHOWS SHIP DATE AS 1/25/95 TO DECKER FORD IN CLOVIS, CA. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN. COULD YOU PLEASE PROVIDE ME WITH INFORMATION AS TO YOUR CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 95V138000. DO YOU KNOW ANY OTHER AGENCY TO REFER ME TO? THANK YOU LORA MANNIE

ODOMETER FAILURE. FALSE ODOMETER READINGS OF GAS IN FUEL TANK. SIMILARLY, THE ODOMETER READS IN KILOMETERS INSTEAD OF MILES WITHOUT KILOMETER APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARD.
