Consumer Description

CAR WAS HAVING SLIGHT AND PERIODIC ROUGH IDLE, MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT WITH HAD GASKET FAILURE. TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME MECHANIC HAS STATED THAT THE WHOLE ENGINE IS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT, DUE TO HEAD GASKET FAILURE. NO PROBLEMS WERE NOTICED. HAVE CONTACTED FORD & THE DEALER, BOTH HAVE ADMITTED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT THAT THE WARRANTY EXTENSION THAT WAS OFFERED HAS EXPIRED. I DO NOT RECALL RECEIVING ANY NOTICE FOR THIS DEFECT, NOR DID MY CAR HAVE PROBLEMS DURING THE RECALL PERIOD. I HAVE SURVEYED THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY OTHERS WITH SAME 3.8 HEAD GASKET FAILURES AND FORD IS REFUSING TO RECALL OR REPLACE THEM. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE I CAN TALK TO PRIOR TO VISITING THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND A LAWYER ? *AK
