Consumer Description

2 YEARS AFTER COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT, MY MUSTANG HAS BLOWN ANOTHER HEAD GASKET! I HAD TO HAVE MY 96 FORD MUSTANG ENGINE (V6) REPLACED BECAUSE OF A BAD HEAD GASKET, AND AFTER REPLACING THE ENGINE, WHICH COST ME $3000.00 AT THE TIME, TWO YEARS LATER AM NOW LOOKING AT REPLACING ANOTHER HEAD GASKET, IN A NEWER ENGINE, AND LOOKING AT ANOTHER $2000 IN REPAIRS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO COVER OTHER MODELS OF FORD VEHICLES BESIDE 94-95. *AK
