Radiator Hose Problems of Ford Mustang

My 2000 Mustang gt overheated while I was driving back home, on a ten mile journey a couple days ago. Until this incident, my Mustang had never overheated. I bought the car last sept. I used hose water at gas station to cool it first on hood then once my engine looked cooler, I filled the radiator (thinking we'd flush the cooling system when I got it home) water emptied as fast as I poured it in, from intake manifold behind what looks like the thermostat housing. My car is my only transportation. Now I'm not sure what to do. Because I used all my money to buy this car. I can not afford to fix this. My situation appears identical to several on your site, such as this one I just copied from one of the complaints posted:oct 08, 2013 - lexington, SC - engine and engine cooling while driving vehicle, engine began to overheat. Steam rolled from under the hood. Discovered crack in manifold where it connects to thermostat housing. Coolant dripping on the engine; I do not know if internal components are damaged.

The power went out while the engine was running, while moving steering wheel froze,,took to have fixed and power train was damaged from repairs but told it was fixed , but the dash screen keeps going out. Now 3 recalls 2 for seatbelts, front and back, and the cooling system is being recalled for a hose or system malfunction that could cause a fire . Already had the air assembly fixed , now this latest recall. All around this is an unsafe car to drive, it only has 11,000 miles on it and it has had major defects and sever things go wrong . It's a lemon.

At 19,000 miles my car began overheating during the test drive and had radiator fluid spilled in the engine compartment. Inspecting the upper radiator hoses one of the clamps was broken. While replacing the clamp I discovered that another one was broken as well. A search online of complaints about this problem revealed similar complaints. I no longer have the old clamps.

I own a 1998 Ford Mustang gtast year I noticed a cooling leakage which I first thought coming from one of the hoses. It turned out that the upper intake manifold cracked. Hen I purchased a new upper intake manifold from a Ford dealership, I noticed that they changed the design, enforcing the cracked part of the intake with aluminum. I was wondering if there is a design flaw, and they changed their design; am I entitled for any kind of compensation? I have asked many Ford dealerships, but they informed me that there is no recall in regard to my intake manifold. Ny information in regard to this is very much appreciated.
