Consumer Description

STARTER WIRE ATTACHED TO STARTER KEEPS FALLING OFF..FIRST TIME I WAS ON A HIGHWAY AND MY GUARDING ANGEL WAS WITH ME AND I COASTED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND GOT HELP. ALL THE OTHER TIMES I WOULD GET IN THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. A TOW TRUCK DRIVER TOOK PITY ON ME AND TOLD ME WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND NOW I CAN GET UNDER THE CAR AND PLUG IT IN MY SELF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES. THEY OF COURSE NEVER TOLD ME HOW TO FIX IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM. SECOND ISSUE IS THE HEAD GASKET. DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM, GETTING 2ND OPINION SINCE I HAD IT REPLACED IN JAN 1997. DEALER SAID IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY UNDER MPROGRAM 98M1 AS OF DEC 1998. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID DEALER WAS WRONG IT DEPENDED ON WHERE THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. WHERE DO I GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT MPROGRAM/98M1? I WANT TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE 1ST INCIDENT. IS THE GASKET THE PROBLEM OR THE ENGINE?
