Consumer Description

JUNE 1998, FORD MOTOR SENT US A LETTER SAYING THE HEAD GASKET COULD FAIL. THEY DIDN'T RECALL THESE CARS, INSTEAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY. WELL, SURE ENOUGH, OURS FAILED AFTER THE MILEAGE EXTENSION. WE TRAVEL TO NM & CA CAUSING US TO HAVE A HIGHER THAN NORMAL MILEAGE. EXTENSION WAS 5 YRS, OR 60,000. WE HAD 76,375. LUCKILY WE WERE NOT ON AN INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE HAZARD ON A SUPER HIGHWAY. WE SINCERELY FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A TOTAL RECALL. IF THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO COMPLAIN, PLEASE NOTIFY US TO THE CORRECT CONTACTS. THIS WAS NOT A CHEAP REPAIR, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. FORD MOTOR SHOULD KNOW HOW TO BUILD HEAD GASKETS BY NOW!!! THANK YOU....JANET REYNOLDS. *AK
