1995 Ford Mustang LX review from North America

Air conditioning leakage problems resulting in visiting the dealer every year for three first years until I switched to a Lincoln dealer and they found the problem.

Leak in the trunk which resulted in the spare tire rusting.

Replaced a timing cover ($800 bill) at 60,000 km.

Replaced the thermostat twice - it still doesn't work, but now they blame the temperature gauge which will cost big bucks to replace.

My head gasket blew at 75,000 km. Got the car back from this repair and the temperature was still all over the place. Replaced the thermostat (had replaced the thermostat 53 weeks before and they wouldn't cover it under the 1 year warranty) again!! Still didn't work and they would take no responsibility for the cost saying it had nothing to do with the head gasket even though it worked fine before they worked on the car.

I probably wouldn't feel so upset if Ford and the dealership had treated me with more respect. I had good luck with the Lincoln dealership till they merged with the Ford dealership which I had problems with. This dealership ruined potential further maintenance and probably a future sale for a $138 thermostat. I guess they don't realize that word of mouth spreads pretty quickly - I don't have a problem telling people about the awful service I received.
