Consumer Description

I SAW THAT FORD ISSUED A RECALL ON 94-95 TAURUS WITH THE 3.8L ENGINES THAT HAD A HEAD GASKET FAILURE. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO PUT PRESSURE ON FORD TO OPEN IT UP TO OTHER YEARS AND MODELS OF FORDS. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAVE JUST EXPERIENCED WITH MY HEAD GASKET FAILING. IN ADDITION, I WORK AT A SMALL COMPANY WITH ONLY 25 EMPLOYEES AND JUST FOUND OUT THAT ANOTHER PERSON IN OUR COMPANY HAS A 1993 FORD TAURUS. HE JUSTED HAD TO REPLACE HIS HEAD GASKET ON HIS FORD, AND IT ONLY HAD 60K MILES ON IT. TO ME THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT FORD CAN GET AWAY WITH SO MANY OTHER FORDS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE 94-95 THAT THEY JUST RECALLED LAST MONTH. PLEASE PUT PRESSURE ON FORD TO WIDEN THE RECALL TO OTHER YEARS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THANK YOU. *AK
