NHTSA Complaint #721935 — 1993 FORD TAURUS

MY ENGINE BEGAN TO OVERHEAT AND I TOOK IT TO FORD TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT . THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE ANOTHER WEEK BEFORE THEY COULD EVEN CHECK IT . I ASKED ABOUT A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND WAS INFORMED IT WAS ONLY ON THE 94 & 95 TAURUS ALTHOUGH I HAVE THE SAME EXACT ENGINE IN MY CAR, UNFAIR DON'T YOU THINK? I THEN TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM RIGHT AWAY, IT SEEMS THAT MY CARS HEAD GASKETS ARE LEAKING AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST TO ME OF AT LEAST $700.00. I FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD COVER THIS SINCE THEY HAVE RECALLS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE 94& 95 TAURUS'S. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I ONLY ONE OF A GREAT NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE RIGHT HERE IN QUINCY, I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE AND THE MECHANIC I TALKED AT FORD AND THE MECHANIC WHO IS FIXING MY CAR SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS SAME PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES IN FACT THAT WAS THE MAIN REASON FORD COULD NOT GET MY CAR IN FOR A WEEK BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAD 7 CARS AHEAD OF ME WIYH THE SAME THING. THANKS PAT VEIHL. *AK
