Consumer Description

I HAD A 1999 FORD RANGER WITH A 4.0 LITER ENGINE A V-6, IT STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AT 95,000 MILES. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TOLD THERE WAS WATER IN # 4 CYLINDER. THEY TOOK BOTH HEADS OFF AND I WAS TOLD THAT BOTH HEADS HAD CRACKS IN THEM I WENT TO LOOK FOR MYSELF I VERIFIED THAT BOTH HEADS WERE CRACKED IN THE SAME LOCATION A CRACK ON # 4 CYLINDER AND A CRACK ON # 1 CYLINDER. I WAS THEN SHOWN A CRACKED HEAD OFF A FORD EXPLORER WITH A 4.0 LITER ENGINE SAME CRACK SAME LOCATION. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT SINCE ALL THE CRACKS ARE IN THE SAME LOCATION AND FORD ALREADY HAS REDESIGNED THE CYLINDER HEADS. THIS COST ME ALMOST $4,000. *JB
