Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY MERCURY SABLE IN MARCH OF 98, WITH ONLY 18,000 MILES ON IT. IT WAS PAID OFF IN MARCH OF 2000. IN OCTOBER, IT HIT THAT DEADLY MILEAGE WHERE LOTS OF SABLES AND TAURUSES BLOW THEIR HEAD GASKETS...AND YES THAT'S JUST WHAT MINE HAS DONE. I CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN MY TOWN AND THEY OF COURSE INSTANTLY SAID "SORRY, YOUR MODEL YEAR IS NOT INCLUDE IN THE SABLE HEAD GASKET RECALL." SO WHAT NOW. AS A SINGLE MOTHER OF TWO, EARNING $200 A WEEK, I DON'T EXPECT TO HAVE ANY SPARE MONEY UNTIL INCOME TAX RETURN TIME. RIGHT NOW I'M BORING A FRIENDS CAR. OBVIOUSLY THAT CAN'T GO ON FOREVER. THANKS FORD, FOR THE DEPENDABLE CAR!*AK
