Consumer Description

THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR RECALL WORK MORE THAN HALF A DOZEN TIMES. THE MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE BROKEN TWICE, THE AIR-CONDITIONING HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE, THE HEAD GASKET AND SERPENTINE BELT HAVE BLOWN, AND THE COOLING FAN IS STILL NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE NOT OPERATING PROPER.LY, AND THE CAR DOES NOT STEER PROPERLY. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP - THEY SAID FORD IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS AFTER THE WARRENTY PERIOD. THE DEALER TOLD ME I HAVE THE SAME ENGINE DESIGN AS THE 94 AND 95 TAURUS. WHY WILL FORD NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS OBVIOUSLY INADEQUATE DESIGN? THE REPAIR BILLS ON THIS VEHICLE HAVE BEEN PROHIBITIVE, AND THIS IS NOT A CHEAP CAR! *AK
