Consumer Description

ON FEBRUARY 5, 2001 AFTER PREVIOUSLY PAYING CROSSROADS LINCOLN MERCURY DEALER IN INDIANAPOLIS IN JANUARY OF 2000 $1140.82 FOR HEAD GASKET REPAIR AT 59039 MILES, NOW MY CAR WITH 62913 MILES IS BACK AT THE SAME DEALER FOR ANOTHER COOLANT LEAK. THE DEALER HAS CONFIRMED IT IS THE ENGINE FRONT COVER GASKET LEAKING. I DISCOVERED FORD HAS RECALLED 1996 AND 1997 COUGARS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT 1993 COUGARS. SAME STORY WITH THE HEAD GASKET REPAIR NOT BEING COVERED BY FORD'S EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE 3.8L V-6 ENGINES FOR 1993 OWNERS. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF SENDING A LETTER TO WILLIAM FORD AT FORD MOTOR COMPANY ALONG WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF INDIANA. I WILL BE SENDING COPIES TO YOUR ORGANIZATION AND THE CENTER FOR AUTO SAFETY.*AK
