Consumer Description

MY TRUCK WAS LOOSING WATER TO THE OIL PAN AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO NEED REPLACING IN 2004. FORD CHARGED ME 5200.00 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AND SAID THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT. NOW THE REPLACEMENT ENGINE IS DOING THE SAME THING. WHY WILL FORD NOT ADMIT THE PROBLEM WITH THE 97 4.2 AND NOT TRY TO COVER IT UP.? I DO NOT HAVE ALOT OF MONEY AND CAN'T AFFORD TO LET THEM KEEP FIXING THEIR PROBLEM. *TR
