Consumer Description

STARTED TO LOSE COOLANT, COULDNT SEE ANYWHERE THAT IT WAS LEAKING, OR ANY SIGNS OF LEAKING. REFILLED THE COOLANT RESVOIR. DROVE TO WORK THE NEXT DAY, AND WHEN I GOT OFF OF WORK I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULDNT FIRE. ONCE IT WAS MOVED ALL OF THE OIL HAD BEEN LAYING ON THE GROUND WHERE THE CAR WAS PARKED. DONE ALOT OF RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THE CYLINDER HEADS ARE JUNK AND WAS LOOSING COOLANT IN TO THE CYLINDER. SO NOW IM STUCK WITH A $200 A MONTH PAYMENT FOR SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED THAT HAS HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF CARE WITH THE 1.5L ECO BOOST TURBO... AND THERE STILL IS RECALL??? THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE 130,000 MILES YET.
