Consumer Description

I OWN THE INFAMOUS 1999 FORD EXPEDITION WITH THE HEAD GASKET OIL LEAK. THOUGH I LOVED THIS CAR FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED IT NEW UP UNTIL THE TIME AT 50,000 MILES THE OIL STARTED TO LEAK. IT IS WELL MAINTAINED AND BABIED, SO FOR SOMETHING AS SERIOUS AS THIS TO HAPPEN TO ALL OF US WHO OWN THESE VEHICLES DISAPPOINTS ME. FORD WOULD ONLY PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR, BUT I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE PROBLEM.A HEAD GASKET BLOWING? THE HEADS ARE ALSO DEFECTIVE FROM WHAT I HAVE READ. THAT IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE REPAIR. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE SOMETHING THAT WAS INSTALLED DEFECTIVE TO BEGIN WITH. I GUESS I WILL CONTINUE TO STUFF A RAG UP UNDER THE LEAK UNTIL FORD FEELS LIKE TAKING REPONSIBILITY FOR ITS FAILURES. *AK
