Consumer Description

BLOWN HEAD GASKET ON 3.8 LITER V-6 ENGINE. FORD RECALLED THE '94 TBIRD WITH THE SAME ENGINE, BUT LEFT THE '93 OWNERS OUT IN THE COLD. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE HEAD GASKET PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, BUT CLAIMS THERE AREN'T ENOUGH FAILURES TO WARRANT A RECALL OR OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THE CAR OWNERS. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE, AND THAT I CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE REPAIRED. I CAN'T SELL IT, AND I CAN'T TRADE IT IN. I WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY A FORD VEHICLE. DT
