Consumer Description

ON 1/22/2001 DURING A ROUTINE SERVICING I WAS TOLD THAT "THERE WAS COOLANT ON THE #4 CYLINDER. POSSIBLE HEAD GASKET." I WAS ADVISED TO HAVE THE HEAD GASKET REPLACED SO AS TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A DESIGN DEFECT IN THE HEAD GASKETS USED IN THIS AND OTHER MODELS OF CARS MANUFACTURED BY FORD, SUCH THAT THE HEAD GASKET OFTEN FAILS AT AROUND 60,000 MILES. I WOULD LIKE FORD TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF THIS REPAIR. *AK
