Consumer Description

HEAD GASKETS BLOWN, TOWED TO LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY AND TOLD NEEDS NEW ENGINE WOULD NOT JUST REPLACE HEADGASKER, CALLED DULANEY MOTORS AND THEY SAID ONLY HEADGASKET NEEDS REPAIR SO I AUTHORIZED. IN MAY 2000 TEMPERATURE/OIL GAUGE WOULD BECOME VERY ERRATIC AND ENGINE WARNING BUZZER WOULD SOUND. RETURNED CAR TO DULANEY WHICH THEY KEPT FOR ALMOST A WEEK AND REPORTED NOTHING WRONG, TOOK CAR TO FOX LINC/MERC DEALERAND THEY DIAGNOSED EXCESSIVE ENGINE BEARING WEAR AND ENGINE MUST BE REPLACED. AM WITHOUT A CAR WAITING FOR DULANEY TO ASSESS THE ENGINE PROBLEM.THEY HAVE STATED THEY WILL NOT REPAIR THE ENGINE UNLESS I PAY FOR IT. SO BEWARE, VERIFY THE ENGINE DOES NOT NEED REPLACING WHEN THE HEADGASKET BLOWS. *AK
