Consumer Description

UPON LEAVING WORK I STARTED MY CAR AND NOTICED WHITE SMOKE BILLOWING OUT OF THE TAILPIPE. I DROVE LESS THAN 1 MILE FROM WORK TO HOME AND HAD MY BOYFRIEND LOOK AT THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. HE ADVISED ME IT WAS PROBABLY A BLOWN HEADGASKET. WE HAD A MECHANIC COME PICK IT UP AND TOW IT TO THE SHOP. SURE ENOUGH THE HEADGASKET HAD BLOWN ON BOTH SIDES AND WATER WAS IN ALL 6 CYCLINDERS. THE CAR NEVER OVERHEATED NOR DID IT GIVE ANY WARNING SIGNS OR LIGHTS. IT JUST BLEW THE HEADGASKET WITH LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON THE CAR. FORD HAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR 3.8L V6 ENGINES BUILT IN 1995. *AK
