I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE OF A RECALL ON THE ENGINE COOLING FAN. THE END RESULT WAS DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE IN MY 1995 FORD MUSTANG BECAUSE THE ENGINE FAN QUIT OPERATING AND CAUSED OVERHEATING TO OCCUR. I HAVE ALSO NOT RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES REGARDING THE HOOD, THE LIGHTS, ETC. THE ONLY NOTICE I DID RECEIVE WAS FOR THE PARKING BRAKE. I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE ENGINE EVALUATED TO SEE IF IT CAN BE REPAIRED WITHOUT HAVING TO TOTALLY REPLACE THE ENGINE. *TR

I HAVE 95 MUSTANG .AROUND 2001- 2003 IT OVERHEATED THEN THE NEXT NIGHT CAUGHT ON FIRE RIGHT BESIDE THE HOUSE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET IN THE HOUSE AND GET A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT THE FIRE .THE FIRE BEGAN FROM THE THERMOSTAT THAT CONTROLS THE WATER TEMP TO THE RADIATOR .IT SHORTED OUT AND CAUGHT ON FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OUT WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE CAR HOWEVER A HEAD WAS WARPED DUE TO THE THERMOSTAT GOING OUT AND THE CAR OVERHEATING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS GOING TO COST ALOT TO FIX SO I TOOK IT TO A SHADE TREE MECHANIC WHO WAS ABLE TO FIX IT FOR AROUND $900.00. LATER A FRIEND HAD A MUSTANG TO BURN TO THE GROUND FOR THE SAME REASON . I LATER GOT A RECALL ON IT AND CONTINUE TO GET THEM BUT HESITATED TO GO BACK TO GET IT FIXED FOR FEAR THEY WILL PUT ANOTHER BAD ONE ON IT. I AM UNCERTAIN OF THE DATE AND YEAR BECAUSE I DID NOT GET A RECEIPT FROM THE SHADE TREE MECHANIC HOWEVER I TOOK THE MUSTANG TO JENKINS AND WYNN FOR DIAGNOSTICS .THEY SHOULD HAVE RECORD OF THE

I ONLY HAD TO ADD APPROXIMATELY 1/2 GALLON OF WATER ON ONE OCCASION. I TOOK MY MUSTANG TO DAVID MAUS TOYOTA, BELIEVING HIS COMPANY TO BE REPUTABLE AND SINCE THE MUSTANG WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY REPLACED THE WATER PUMP AND THE TIMING CHAIN SEAL AND CHARGED ME $700.00. THREE WEEKS LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AFTER DRIVING ONLY A SHORT DISTANCE. I TOOK THE MUSTANG BACK TO DAVID MAUS AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. I THEN TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME HE WOULD REBUILD THE ENGINE, FOR WHICH I PAID HIM $1800.00. HE DID NOT FIX THE ENGINE AND THE PROBLEM REMAINED. I SUED DAVID MAUS FOR INEPT REPAIRS BUT WAS UNABLE TO PROVE MY CASE "SUFFICIENTLY", POSSIBLY BECAUSE THE SECOND MECHANIC ASSISTED DAVID MAUS IN COURT INSTEAD OF TESTIFYING FOR ME AFTER I THREATENED TO SUE HIM, ALSO. HE HAS SINCE GONE OUT OF BUSINESS. I
