Consumer Description

THIS THUNDERBIRD HAS THE 3.8L V6 ENGINE. HEAD GASKETS FAILED. THE LOCAL DEALER ADMITS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE ENGINES. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAMS DO NOT INCLUDED 1993 THUNDERBIRDS, ONLY 1994-1995. REPAIR COST FOR ME WAS ABOUT $1800.00. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REP IS UNWILLING TO ASSIST WITH ANY AMOUNT OF PAYMENT. I WILL BE FILING IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT.*AK
