Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1993 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL WITH A V6 3.8 ENGINE; THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP HAVING THE HEAD GASKET REPLACED. I UNDERSTAND THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS RECALLED THE HEAD GASKETS OF V6 3.8 ENGINES ON OTHER VEHICLES, INCLUDING THE 1994 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL. THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT FORD IS IGNORING, WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR WAS BUILT AT THE END OF 1993, AND I KNOW THAT MY ENGINE HAS THE SAME DEFECTIVE HEAD GASKET. I FEEL THIS ENGINE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL PROGRAM. *AK
