Consumer Description

I WAS ON VACATION WHEN MY CAR LOST ACCELERATION I PULLED UP TO THE STOP SIGN WHERE MY CAR WAS SMOKING, DROVE TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC TO FIND OUT I HAD A BLOWN GASKET. MY TEMP LIGHT NEVER WENT ON AND ITS FUNCTIONING. THE MECHANIC THERE TOLD ME THIS WAS A KNOWN FORD PROBLEM. I CALLED MY OWN MECHANIC WHEN I GOT BACK HOME AND HE TOLD ME THE SAME THING. I JUST GOT DONE PAYING FOR MY CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. AFTER READING SO MANY COMPLAINT'S WHY ISN'T FORD DOING ANYTHING WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAD TO GO AND BUY AND NEW CAR WHICH I CANT AFFORD. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT WASN'T A FORD I BOUGHT. *JB
