Radiator Problems of Ford Mustang

The water pump failed on the 3. 7 v6 and there was a tsb16-0074 that has a check valve in it to prevent the failure of the water pumps. Problem was noticed when car had already pulled out of the garage. . There was a puddle of water under the front center of the car. My wife drove to the salon. I went there to check and add one gallon of antifreeze to the radiator overflow.

While driving to work one chilly morning I could not feel any warm air coming from the heat or the windshield defroster. I had to return to home because the windows were fogging up and I had no heat. I drove another car to work that day. I later discovered the thermostat housing gasket had a slow leak and allowed most of the antifreeze to leak out. This was the reason the defroster was not working also the thermostat is no longer in contact with any fluid, only the plastic housing, and the temperature indicator never read much above cold while my engine is overheating internally due to low coolant. After replacing the thermostat housing and sensor I still smell antifreeze leaking from some where possibly the head gasket and have to top off the radiator more frequently. I believe this design, placing the temperature sensor in the thermostat housing, is a safety hazard. First off if you have a coolant leak the defroster will just stop working while your temperature reading will be normal or still cold. Secondly engine failure could occur, due to a false temperature indication, and could cause an accident while driving in traffic.

My 98 gt Mustang plastic radiator intake has ruptured at 89,000 miles. It seems all of Ford's equipped with Ford's 4. 6l v-8 contain an intake manifold that is prone to failure. Due to original design, this part has a tendency to crack resulting in sometimes over heating, engine failure and worse case damage to other parts of the car's engine. Ford recognizes this problem but will not recall most cars other than fleet vehicles and those listed in the TSB #97m91. 1. 1998 Mustang was overheating while driving down the highway. 2. When car was taken to a repair shop the mechanic noticed a crack in the manifold and advised me to take it to my local dealer. It was brought to my attention that if this part was not corrected engine failure could occur due to coolant loss resulting in severe damage. 3. Car was taken to local Ford dealership and I gave them the TSB #97m91 and told them to replace the part. 1998 Mustang was not listed and the car and can't be fixed at dealer's cost only consumer's. I called Ford motor company and have not had any luck talking to customer service about this problem. Ford owners be aware of this problem.

1) vehicle started losing radiator fluid then 'check engine' light came on. 2) took vehicle to mechanic who stated there is a crack in the front plastic part on the engine. Mechanic stated he has replaced a couple dozen of these parts on other newer Mustangs and it was covered by warranty. Mechanic stated to take to the Ford dealership, this was a defective part and is being replaced with an aluminum part instead of plastic because of this defect. 3) took vehicle to columbia, SC dealership. They stated other mechanic was correct and would it cost $780 to replace part. 4) I feel Ford should pay for this since it is a defective part.

Head gaskets blown causing the upper radiator hose to swell and rub the air conditioning compressor clutch. The hole in the hose caused all the coolant to leak out and causing a misfire in the engine. The head gaskets were blown on three of the six cylinders. The engine is a 3. 8l v6 in a 1997 Mustang.
