Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD AN INVISIBLE COOLANT LEAK FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS. I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE HOSES AND THE THERMOSTAT THREE TIMES. THIS WEEK THE CAR OVERHEATED AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET ADN DISCOVERED FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE 1998. FORD HAS TAKEN STEPS TO REPAIR VEHICLES FROM THE 1994 AND 1995 MODEL YEARS, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE FOR THE 1993 MODEL YEAR. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, RECEIVED COURTEOUS SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO FOR ME. DT
