Consumer Description

ENGINE HEAD GASKET BLEW DURING MY VACATION. KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FORD 3.8 LITER ENGINES. WARRANTY EXTENDED BY FORD TO 5YR 60,000 MILES. OF COURSE MY ENGINE BLEW AT 5 1/2 YRS AND 69,000 MILES SO I'M NOT COVERED. I HAD HEAD GASKET REAPIRED BY PHIL LONG FORD (DENVER, CO) FOR $2,065. PHIL LONG DEALERSHIP REPORT VAN WAS READY FOR ME TO CONTINUE MY VACATION. I PICKED UP VAN FROM PHIL LONG FORD DEALERSHIP AND DROVE 230 MILES. ENGINE DIED AT 230 MILES DUE TO ANTI-FREEZE GETTING INTO ENGINE WHEN HEAD GASKET BLEW AND CAUSED THE CRANK BEARINGS TO FAIL. JUST PAID $3,500 FOR ENGINE TO BE REBUILT. HELP!!! I DON'T LIKE BEING SCREWED BY FORD. I JUST PAID $6,500 NOT INCLUDING CAR RENTAL COSTS FOR A FORD MOTOR COMPANY DESIGN FLAW.*AK
