Consumer Description

CYLINDER HEAD GASKET LEAKS DUE TO FAULTY MACHINING OF CYLINDER HEAD. RESULTS IN OVERHEATING, ENGINE FAILURE OR FIRE. I HAD THE WATER PUMP AND RADIATOR REPLACED BEFORE A GOODYEAR TIRE CENTER IN CINCINNATI KNEW EXACTLY WHAT CAUSED THE OVERHEATING CONDITION. THEY STATED THAT THEY HAVE BEEN REPAIRING 3.8L FORD TAURUS AND SABLE OVERHEAT CONDITIONS FOR 1994/95 MODELS. THEY FIX AT LEAST ONE A WEEK AND HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR AWHILE. THEY STATE THAT THE CYLINDER HEADS ARE NOT PROPERLY MACHINED WHICH CAUSES THE HEAD GASKET FAILURE. MY TOTAL BILL WAS $1,178.41. FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT GOODYEAR TIRE CENTER, 6289 GLENWAY AVE., CINCINNATI, OH 45211, (513) 661-1510. I FEEL THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A DIRECT RECALL DUE TO THE NUMBER OF FAULTY MACHINED CYLINDER HEADS. THANK-YOU FOR YOUR HELP IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. *AK
