On my 1996 Ford Mustang gt with the 4. 6l engine 3 spark plugs blew out of the engine. I took the car to the local Ford dealer and they informed me that it was a problem that Ford was aware of and that it would be $1,341. 98 to repair the damage. I looked it up online and saw that Ford blames the damage on improper torquing of the spark plugs. As the car only has 49,000 miles it has never had the plugs changed in any way. Three blew out and 2 more would not come out of the engine as the aluminum head and aluminum spark plugs had seized. Ford knows about the problem and refuses to fix it.

My 1996 Ford Mustang head gastkets have gone out. My car has 87000 miles on it. I have heard that many 95 Mustangs have had the same problem. I bought my car a year ago and I beleive that the problem was not completly fixed in the newer models. I was told that because my car is a 96 it was not covered by Ford, they informed me that the new models have been fixed and that the head gastket failure was due to my "excesive wear" on my car.
The engine cracked without warning. The dealer was notified.
Engine head broke, causing a leak.
Contacted dealership prior to failure about overheating problem and Ford head gasket history, but they did nothing then and will not cover in warranty.
Vehicle began losing coolant at 58000 miles, blown head gasket, this is a recurring problem with several Ford models and company refuses to acknowledge.
Blown head gasket, front seal, and cracked timing cover. Ford did not cover head gasket repairs though this is a known problem.
They refuse to fix the problem even though other cars like mine have had similar problems with the head gaskets, they told me at the beginning of this mess that it would be covered and now they will not and want to charge me $1300 to repair. I believe th.
I have contacted Ford motor company's customer service department as well as my local Ford dealer (charlie hillard Ford-fort worth). They both tell me that the head gasket on a 1995 Ford winstar has been recalled. This vehicle has virtually the same 3. 8l v6 engine as my 1996 Ford Mustang. My local Ford company tells me the only difference in the two engines is that one vehicle is front-wheel drive, and the other rear-wheel drive. The head gaskets should be manufactured the same on these two vehicles. However, Ford tells me they cannot help me pay for this repair - which was a failure of the head gasket. Additionally, my mechanic says he and other mechanics he knows have seen the same problem frequently on Ford Mustangs and Ford thunderbirds with this same 3. 8l v6 engine.
The rubber seals keeps popping off due to improper alignment of windows and doors.
Our family has three 1996 Mustangs, one with a manual and two with automatic transmissions. We have had all three of them blow the head gasket on them, one at a year, one at three years, and one at four years. Now, I have found out recently that Ford offered a free replacement on the gaskets, for an extended 7 years, and would like to warn others that they are very likely to go out, and to let them know to "remind" the Ford dealer about this issue. I paid to replace three of them, and feel that the Ford dealer should have alerted me to the fact that they were under warranty, and therefore not charged me.
