Consumer Description
AT 26,000 MILES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD TO DO SOME TESTING. THE DEALER TOLD ME 3 DAYS LATER THAT A NEW BLOCK HAD TO BE BACK ORDERED AS IT WAS CRACKED FROM ENGINE COOLANT GETTING INTO THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER. I WAITED 40 DAYS FOR THIS TO COME IN AND THEN WAS TOLD A HEAD GASKET WAS WAS ON BACK ORDER. THE DEALER SAID FORD HAD A SERVICE BULLITEN FOR THIS FIX. I HAVE THE CAR BACK AND WASN'T OFFERED A FULL WARRENTY. HOW CAN I BE SURE THIS WONT HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAD CORRESPONDENCE WITH 2 SEPARATE DEALERS AND BOTH SAID THEY HAVE SEEN MANY WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM.
