Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THE TEMP GAUGE WAS ON HIGH. NO WARNING LIGHTS PRECEDING THIS AND NOW LOW COOLANT ALARM. TURNED A CORNER TO PULL OFF AND BEFORE I COULD, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ENGINE SHUDDERED TO A STOP CAUSING ME TO LOOSE STEERING AND BRAKES. WITH NO WARNING ENABLING ME TO EITHER CHECK THE CAR OUT, OR SAFELY GET OFF THE ROAD. THE WATER PUMP WHICH IS INSIDE THE ENGINE FAILED. IT HAS CONTAMINATED THE OIL NOW REQUIRING AN ENTIRE NEW ENGINE. ON SEARCHING GOOGLE FOR THE FORD 3.5L V6 ENGINE THIS APPEARS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THESE ENGINES AND ITS DESIGN. I CANT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN SHOULD IT FAIL WITHOUT WARNING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.
