Consumer Description

HEAD GASKETS FAILED AT 84,000 MILES ON MY 93 FORD TAURUS LX. SIMILAR PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURED ON FORD VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ENGINE (3.8L V-6). I CONTACTED A FORD REP., ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME I WASN'T ONE OF THE LUCKY PEOPLE TO PURCHASE A CAR THAT WAS MADE BETWEEN TWO CERTAIN DATES AT A CERTAIN MANUFACTURING PLANT. SO BASICALLY, I'M OUT OF LUCK AND AT FORD'S MERCY, AND MAYBE WITH SOME GOOD LUCK, BUT WITH NO GAURANTEES, THIS PROBLEM MIGHT BE RECALLED OR HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WILL NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN, BECAUSE THEY SON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT EVEN WITH A WELL DOCUMENTED DESIGN FLAW. *AK
