Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLES HAS A COOLING SYSTEM PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS KNOWN BY FORD TO HAVE A PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE DEFECT. MY VEHICLE IS A 1999 FORD TAURUS WHICH DEVELOPED HEATING PROBLEMS LAST YEAR. TODAY IT WAS LEARNED THAT THE VEHICLES COOLING SYSTEM IS PLUGGED WITH A RUST TYPE MIXTURE AND IT IS UNABLE TO BE CLEARED WITHOUT REPLACING THE RADIATOR AND TEARING DOWN THE ENGINE TO CLEAN IT OUT. APPARENTLY FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HAS BASICALLY ADMITTED THEY HAVE A COOLING SYSTEM PROBLEM COVERING SEVERAL YEARS. IT WILL COST SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS NOT AN OPTION AT THIS TIME. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE FORD ADMIT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND RECTIFY THE SITUATION. *TR
