Consumer Description

THIS CAR HAS HAD HEAD GASKET REPLACED AT 56,000 UNDER RECALL #00M09. ACCORDING TO THE OUTSIDE REPAIR SHOP THAT I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS, THE ENGINE FAILURE IS DUE TO THE CRANKSHAFT NOT BEING PROPERLY FLUSHED WHEN THE HEAD GASKET WAS REPAIRED CAUSING LOWER END DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. HUNTINGTON BEACH FORD DENIES ANY RESPONSIBILITY . IF THE ENGINE FAILURE IS NOT A RESULT OF HEAD GASKET FAILURE, IT MUST BE A DEFECTIVE ENGINE BECAUSE I HAVE TAKEN IMPECABLE CARE OF THIS CAR AND HAVE ALL SERVICE RECORDS.*AKY
