Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON HWY 301 AND WATER COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON. I STOPPED A FEW FEET AT FIRST STATION. WATER WAS POURING OUT MY RADIATOR. I GOT A TOW AND TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID MINE WAS THIRD CAR IN A WEEK THIS HAPPENED TO IN STATESBORO GA AREA. PLASTIC FAN BROKE WENT THRU RADIATOR AND BLOWED THE HEAD GASKET. REPAIR MAN SAID PROBABLY IN 3 SECONDS FLAT. TWO WEEKS BEFORE HAD OIL CHANGES AND DAY OF EMERGENCY CHECKED ALL WATER AND OIL BEFORE LEAVING HOME. I AM A WIDOW AND THIS IS GONE COST ME AROUND 2,000 AND I AM IN BANKRUPTCY. I JUST WONDER IF THIS IS A RECALL OR SHOULD BED. MY WARRANTY IS OUT BUT I ONLY HAVE 66,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND THOUGHT IT WAS LAST LOTS MORE YEARS. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP ME. I REALLY LOVE MY CAR BUT ITS ALREADY HAD A TRANSMISSION RECALL AND LOCK RECALL WHICH I WAS FIXING TO GET FIXED. TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN FIXED AND I GET 32 MILES TO GALLON IN GAS WHICH IS TERRIFIC. PLEASE JUST CHECK IS THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND LET MY MECHANIC KNOW AT SOUTHSIDE AUTOMOTIVE IN JESUP GA AND HIS NUMBER IS [XXX]. I REALLY FEEL FORD MOTOR SHOULD RECALL ON THIS AND MY CAR SHOULD BE PAID FOR SO YOUR BUSINESS WILL BE WHAT ITS SUPPOSE TO BE A GOOD AMERICAN BUSINESS THAT DOES WHATS RIGHT. *TR INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
