THIS YEAR MODEL IS A LEMON. FORD KNOWS THIS. I HAVE HAD TWO RECALLS ON CAR. I HAD TO REPLACE MY HEAD GASKETS WHICH COST ME AROUND 1,000 DOLLARS. IT TOOK FORD MONTHS TO REFUND MY MONEY . I BOUGHT THE CAR KNEW IT HAD A CHIP IN THE HOOD. WHEN THE DEALER REPAIRED IT THEY LEFT TAPE UNDER THE HOOD. I DIDN'T NOW ABOUT THE TAPE UNTIL I TRIED TO TRADE MY CAR IN AND THEY FOUND THE TAPE. THE DEALER TOLD ME HE FELT THE CAR HAD BEEN WRECK AND REPAIRED. WELL THERE GOES THE TRADE IN VALUE OF MY CAR. I CALLED AND E-MAILED FORD ABOUT ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS AND ALL I GET IS I AM SORRY THAT YOU HAVE HAD SUCH A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH FORD. WE HOPE IN THE FUTURE YOU HAVE A BETTER ONE..I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD CAR. EVERY CAR THEY BUILD HAS MAJOR PROBLEMS. THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY AND IN RETURN YOU GET A PIECE OF JUNK.*AK

ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO HEAD GASKET FAILURE WHICH WAS RECALLED BY FORD DUE TO AKNOWLEGDED PROBLEM. REPAIR SERVICE WAS DONE BY FORD WITH SUPPOSE CORRECTED GASKET.

1995 FORD MUSTANG, 6 CYL. THE RUBBER SEAL BETWEEN THE GAS TANK AND THE FILLER TUBE IS LEAKING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN TWO YEARS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE SEAL WAS REPLACED TWO YEARS AGO, AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE LEAK IS SUBSTANTIAL, IT IS A STEADY DRIP, 1/2 GALLON PER HOUR.

REAR SEAT BELTS ARE INOPERABLE. SEAT BELTS WILL NOT PULL OUT OF RETRACTOR. CONTACTED FORD, AND FORD STATED NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND PASS WARRANTY.*AK

2ND TIME REAR SEAT BELTS WERE USED THEY LOCKED IN A RETRACTED POSITION AND CAN NOT BE USED AGAIN. BECAUSE OF THE DESIGNED BELT TRACKING GUIDES THE BELTS FOLD WHEN ENTERING THE SPINDLE CAUSING A JAMMING AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE BELTS CAN NOT BE USED. RELEASING THE MECHANISM IS VERY DIFFICULT AND CAN NOT BE DONE ON THE ROAD. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IN A CONVERTIBLE WHEN PEOPLE ARE ON A TRIP AND CAN NOT USE THE BELTS. THIS PROBLEM KEEPS RECURRING. *AK
