What owners wrote
A representative said this type recall had been in affect over the last few years. Shhhhhh! I gave the rep my car's VIN number and was told I had been notified through the mail. The address that pertained to me was different then my own. Hmmmmmmmm! How can that be? I've been living at my address for more then 18 years. I bought my mustang in 1994 via my current address. I have asked others who own fords if they had been notified and they've all said no.
On november 4 my 1994 ford mustang stopped running. I had it towed to a trusted family mechanic, and it was discovered that the head gaskets had blown. As of today 11/14/2002 my car is still in the shop being worked on, and so far the bill is at $1050 and growing. My mechanic was very surprised and shocked when he discovered it was head gaskets, because I have a little less than 50,000 miles on my car. ****dims 11 ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****769756.
