Consumer Description

I AM TERRIBLY ANGRY THAT A CAR WITH 59,500 MILES SHOULD HAVE A HEAD GASKET FAILURE RESULTING IN $1131 IN DAMAGES TO REPAIR AND THEN 5 MONTHS LATER THROW A ROD RESULTING IN $3500 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THANK GOD MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING AND STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND CALLED FOR A RIDE. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE WO MANY HEAD GASKET FAILURES REPORTED AND WOULD ASK THAT YOU INCLUDE A MILEAGE COMPONENT IN YOUR COMPLAINT SUMMARIES. FORD OF COURSE TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS, THEY JUST WANT MORE MONEY. I CURRENTLY OWN 3 FORDS AND YOU CN BET THAT THE NEXT CAR I BUY WILL NOT BE A FORD.
