Consumer Description

THE FORD TAURUS IS 1996 AND 1997 WAS USED AS A GUINEA PIG FOR AN EXPIRIMENTAL COOLANT THAT RUSTED OUT THE FREEZE PLUGS, WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT AND MORE. MINE WAS FOUND TO HAVE THIS COOLANT. I HAVE ALREADY LOST ONE FREEZE PLUG AND COULD LOOSE OTHERS. FORD MOTOR COMPANY WANTS ME TO PAY FOR HALF OF FIXING THEIR ERROR. THEY NOW WANT TO PAY NOTHING BECAUSE I DID NOT MEET THEIR DEADLINE. MY CAR COULD BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS, LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. PLEASE HELP
