Consumer Description

OUR 1992 FORD TAURUS 3.8 ENGINE HAD HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS. WE HAD THEM REPAIRED WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS OF HAVING A DECENT RUNNING CAR AGAIN. OUR CAR STILL DOES NOT RUN PROPERLY AND HAS CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE. WE HAVE TAKEN IT INTO DAHL FORD IN LA CROSSE AND THEY HAD IT AN ENTIRE WEEK AND STILL THEY COULD NOT FIND OUT WHY MY ENGINE DOES NOT RUN SMOOTHLY SINCE THE HEAD GASKETS WERE REPLACED. WE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THE 3.8 ENGINE AT ALL. WE FEEL THIS ENGINE (WITH ONLY 48,000 MILES ON IT) SHOULD NOT HAVE BLOWN. WE NOW HAVE 80,000 ON THE CAR AND IT IS 8 YEARS OLD. THE ENGINE IS STILL BAD. *AK
