I WAS AN ORIGINAL VICTIM OF FORD 3.8 HEAD GASKET FAILURE. I HAD THE WORK DONE PRIOR TO THE LETTER THEY SENT. I HAD GOTTEN REIMBURSED. MY CAR HAS APPROX 120.000 AND THE HEAD GASKETS HAVE GONE AGAIN. I AM TERMINALLY ILL AND HAVE A DAUGHTER GETTING READY FOR COLLEGE AND CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING FOR FORDS ORG. DEFECTS. *NM

ENGINE - MAKES A MOANING NOISE AND RAISES THE IDLE. AS A RESULT, THE CARE WANTS TO ACCELERATE, EVEN WITHOUT PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR. PAINT - PAINT OXIDIZED ON ALL SKYWARD FACING SURFACES. SPOTS OF RUST HAVE DEVELOPED. POWER LOCK - DRIVER'S SIDE POWER LOCK MAKES A NOISE, BUT DOES NOT MOVE THE LOCK TRANSMISSION - DOESN'T SHIFT WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO, AND WHEN IT DOES, IT IS VERY JERKY.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (60MPH), ENGINE'CHECK GAUGES' LIGHT WENT ON - TEMP GAUGE WAS RISING AND WENT PASSED THE RED ZONE. THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON AND THE HEATER WAS BLOWING COLD AIR. AFTER EXAMINATIONS  I BLEW A HEAD GASKET. NOW I LEARN THAT THERE WAS A FORD PROGRAM EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON THE HEAD GASKET TO 7 YEARS/100,000 MILES - INITIATED APRIL, 2000. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE PROGRAM AND HAVE JUST EXCEEDED THE 100,000 MILES. FORD IS UNWILLING TO ASSIST ME IN ANY WAY, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND I WAS NOT ALERTED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH AT LEAST 5 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND WITH 3 REPS AT THE CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER AND HAVE REC'D MUCH CONTRADICTORY INFORMATION REGARD THE LOGISTICS OF THE CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION BULLETINS AND THE DETAIL OF THE PROGRAM. IM SORRY TO SAY THAT ALTHOUGH I WOULD NEVER BUY...

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE CHECK GAUGES" LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH BOARD. I LOOKED AND SAW THAT THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE HAD GONE UP AS FAR AS IT COULD GO. I BROUGHT IT TO AN AUTO SERVICE CENTER AND HAD IT CHECKED. I WAS TOLD I HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. MY CAR ONLY HAS 46,500 ON IT AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. I WAS TOLD THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THAT YEAR THUNDERBIRD AND I FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS.*AK

WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT A/C WENT WARM, AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE STARTED CLIMBING. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. DEALER STATED THAT ENGINE COOLANT FAN WENT BAD, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT. ALSO, FUSES MELTED INTO THE DISRIBUTION BOX. VEHICLE COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. *AK
