Consumer Description

THE CAR OVERHEATS AND RUNS POORLY, THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A LEAKY INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. I HAD IT CHECKED FOR HYDRO CARBONS AT A GARAGE WHICH IT HAS, INDICATING A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. I WAS TOLD THAT THE LOCAL MERCURY DEALER WAS FLOODED WITH 3.8L BLOWN HEAD GASKETS. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIER WILL BE A RECALL.
