Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION FAILED, COSTING $2000 IN REPAIRS. NOW HEAD GASKET HAS FAILED WITH ESTIMATED REPAIR IN EXCESS OF $1200. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE FOR 10,000 MILES YET. I AM NOW READING ABOUT MANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE FORD 3.8L ENGINE & DRIVETRAIN. I UNDERSTAND THAT FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS & HAS FAILED TO CORRECT THEM. I THINK THE WHOLE SITUATION IS A DISGUSTING INDICTMENT OF THE LACK OF CARING ON FORD'S PART. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT & WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT THIS HORRENDOUS SITUATION. *AK
