Consumer Description

I WOULD BE GLAD TO E-MAIL COPIES OF LETTERS IN WHICH I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR CO. THEIR 2/00 RECALL REGARDING THE HEAD GASKET DESIGN FLAW IN THE 1.8L V-6 ENGINE DOESN'T INCLUDE THE 1993 - THE SAME ENGINE DESIGN. FORD WON'T EVEN GIVE ME A WRITTEN RESPONSE TO MY WRITTEN LETTERS; THEY HAVE THE LOCAL FORD DEALER CALL ME. I DIDN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE GONE WRONG MONTHLY (THE LATEST? IT'S AUGUST AND I HAVE NO AIR CONDITIONING). I HAD TAKEN THE TRANSMISSION IN WHILE UNDER 75M EXTENDED WARRANTY-IT WAS ALREADY HAVING PROBLEMS, BUT THERE WAS NO "FIX". THE BLOWN HEAD GASKET WAS ABOUT 5M MILES PAST THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU REQUIRE ADDITIONAL DATA. THANKS. *AK
