6 Coolant Leaking problem of the 2006 Ford Mustang

Failure Date: 06/24/2011

I currently own a 2006 premium v6 Ford Mustang, and I regularly get my vehicle serviced at mossy Ford in san diego, CA. My most recent service visit was for an oil change along with all the other standard preventative maintenance that is performed with the oil change; performed 05/20/11. Upon completion, the service adviser told me the mechanic found coolant residue on the vehicle, but that I would not have to worry about it and it was probably nothing. On 06/24 I decided to drive to nevada for the weekend, and my engine overheated due to the coolant leak. I had a horrible experience being stuck in the middle of the desert with no cell phone coverage and little to no traffic on the route I took. It took over six hours before I was able to attain help and have my vehicle towed to the nearest Ford service facility - which costed over $500 to tow. I was advised the thermostat housing cracked and leaked, possibly due to improper tightening. My engine apparently is out of warranty now, so I am facing a 4000+ dollar service bill for an engine replacement. Had I been told residue could be a sign of a potential leak that could cause engine failure, I would have paid whatever was necessary to repair the defect. I thought I could confide in my Ford dealership in maintaining my vehicle, but apparently I cannot. I am appalled with this experience and mossy Ford that serviced my vehicle. I understand my engine is out of warranty, but something needs to be done, because this is clearly negligence on Ford's behalf for not advising me coolant was leaking and my engine could potentially fail. My adviser only told me there was residue found, and it was probably nothing I had to worry about.

9 Coolant Leaking problem of the 1996 Ford Mustang

Failure Date: 12/08/2000

My Ford Mustang broke down on my way to frederick, MD. In December of 2000. I had already taken it in to crystal Ford for a recall on June 8, 2000. The recall program no. Was 99b29. They said they fixed the problem, which was a leakage of engine coolant at the head gasket. On my drive to frederick in December, the Mustang began to overheat and proceed to break down promptly thereafter. The result of the overheating was a cracked engine due to a thrown rod. My vehicle was towed from frederick to laurel to my mechanic who informed me that the cracked engine was due to a engine coolant leakage. I then had my vehicle towed to crystal Ford so there mechanics could look at it. The service person, robert, called me to let me know the engine threw a rod which was due to an engine coolant leakage problem. I wrote letters to Ford customer service and the service rep for the area and both denied any assistance to fix my vehicle. The damage done to my vehicle is definitely related to the recall and the engine coolant problem at the head gasket yet Ford refuses to fix the vehicle. Please help me in anyway you can with this problem. Thank you very much for your time and effort with this problem. Sincerely, daniel s. Pastorek.
