Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1999 FORD TAURUS WITH A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE FORD MOTOR CO. KNEW ALL ALONG THIS WAS A PROBLEM. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO GET THE THERMOSTAT REPLACED BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE ANY HEAT. I GET THE CALL THE NEXT DAY THAT I HAVE A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. I HAVE AN AUTISTIC DAUGHTER AND MY MOTHER WHO HAS RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS THAT I NEED TO USE THIS CAR TO TAKE TO DOCTOR APPTS. AND SUCH. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, AN $1100.00 PROBLEM, NOR CAN I AFFORD TO GO OUT AND BUY ANOTHER CAR. I AM UPSET, ANGRY, HURT, AND OTHER EMOTIONS I CANNOT DESCRIBE. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO OR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT I CAN CONTACT? *JB
