Blown Head Gasket @ 86,000 miles due to Block defect. Now I have to either pay to replace the Head Gasket with the expectation that it will fail again due to the block defect, or replace the whole defective block.

When placing the car in reverse the backup works sometimes and most times it does not. Similar to other Ford vehicles currently under recall. I am of the belief this recall should be expanded to include additional years and models.

Purchased just 2 months ago from ford dealer, after 1 week noticed shimming of engine on cold start, next incident overheat warning, filled with radiator fluid, noticed slow lowering of fluid level, next day car would not start at all. Towed to mechanic in which they report blown head gasket and all 4 cylinders damaged. After searching this site I found others had same complaint but no recalls. Evidently there is a lawsuit, how do I participate so I can get my beautiful car repaired ASAP?

Since this recall came out I have taken my car to the dealer(Port Orchard Ford, Port Orchard, Wa. 98366) and each time they say they can't do it because it has a super charger. I think it's because they would have to reinstall the super charger program. I've been told that they would be able to reprogram it because they installed it. On the recall notice it doesn't list any exceptions to not doing the recall. XXX XXX REf. Manufacturer Recall Number 22S37 NHTSA Recall Number 22V382 Dated: May 27, 2022

I am filing this complaint regarding a vehicle I purchased from Florida Fine Cars in Miami Gardens on [XXX}. The vehicle is a Ford Mustang GT with a Roush supercharger (VIN: [XXX] ). Immediately after purchase, the car exhibited serious performance and safety issues that were never disclosed by the dealer. Within hours of driving home, the vehicle showed severe power loss, hesitation during acceleration, and loud mechanical noises at highway speeds. These issues were not detectable during the brief, low-speed test drive the dealership provided. Additionally, by the next morning, the car emitted a strong plastic or chemical odor under the hood, which intensified in the Florida heat — suggesting a possible engine, exhaust, or emissions-related fault. The dealer misrepresented the condition of the vehicle, repeatedly claiming it was “fully inspected” and “in excellent condition.” However, a certified Ford dealership technician later confirmed that the car “ran like garbage” and required immediate diagnostic attention. These defects are potentially safety-related, as they directly affect the engine’s performance, drivability, and emissions integrity. The vehicle could stall, lose power during acceleration, or emit toxic fumes. Florida Fine Cars has refused to take responsibility, despite clear evidence that the car was sold with undisclosed defects. Their actions constitute false advertising, misrepresentation, and a disregard for consumer safety. I urge NHTSA to record this complaint and investigate whether similar vehicles sold by Florida Fine Cars (or others with aftermarket superchargers) have unreported safety or emissions defects. This poses a serious risk to consumer safety and compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Engine - Blown head gasket This is a common issue with these engines and is a costly repair or potential engine failure.

Check engine light on. Code is p0301 for multiple cylinder misfires. At startup I can hear coolant sloshing around and white exhaust. Coolant is leaking into cylinder 1. The Ford dealer says it needs a new engine. 2019 ford mustang ecoboost at 55k miles.

Coolant intrusion into cylinder 2 at 26,000 miles. Was told by mechanic this is due to thin cylinder wall design between cylinder 2 and 3. And the thin coolant channel cut between them. A new engine block manufactured after 2020 was recommended because the engine design was changed to fix this issue. My warranty expired 4 months prior so I had to fix myself.
