Driving 30MPH; started applying brakes when they locked up; vehicle went into other lane & hit another vehicle. Damaged driver's front; air bags did not deploy. Driver hit steering wheel; lost control of vehicle. Had vehicle towed to dealer & they took responsibility for repairs. Manufacturer won't honor warranty.
I have a 1996 ford mustang LX. I was driving my car at night and I had it on cruise control and it blew up.I took care of my car and checked the engine and the antifreeze before I leave my house.I gave my car a 15 minute warm up period before I leave my house.the engine overheated and blew up due to faulty engine gasket. I have had to change the starter,the water pump(2x), radiator, and pistons because of that. I am very mad at ford and I told them so in dearborn mi.
