4 MONTHS AFTER BUYING THE CAR, THE ENGINE STARTED TO HEAT UP, AND LEAK. I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC FOR REPAIR. I HAD PURCHASSED EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT THE DEALER REIMBURSED ONLY $19.84 OUT OF $544.00. FORD DIDN'T RESPOND TO MY PREVIOUS QUERIES CONCERNING ANOTHER VEHICLE. SO I'M CONTACTING YOU, HOPING FOR A HELP. HAD TO REPLACE RADIATOR AND BELT SERPENTINE. PLEASE HELP ME IN GETTING MY MONEY BACK. LOU.*AK

WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR, IT HAD 120,673 MILES. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT, WE STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR OVERHEATING. THE TEMP INDICATOR WOULD RISE TO HOT, STAY THERE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE OR MORE AND THEN GO BACK TO NORMAL. WE PUT IN A NEW THERMOSTAT, BUT OCCASIONALLY THE CAR WOULD OVERHEAT. BY THE TIME WE PULLED OVER TO STOP THE CAR, THE TEMP GAUGE WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS HAS CONTINUED, INTERMITTENTLY, UNTIL LAST THURSDAY. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, THE TEMP GAUGE ROSE TO HOT, THE ENGINE STARTED TO MIS-FIRE AND I SAW BLUE SMOKE COMING OUT THE BACK. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR HOME, BUT IT NEVER STARTED AGAIN. WHEN WE CHECKED THE OIL, IT WAS UP A QUART. (MY GUESS IS ANTI-FREEZE IN THE CRANKCASE.) LOOKS LIKE A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. I HAVE SINCE HEARD RUMORS THAT IT MAY BE...

CYLINDER HEAD GASKET LEAKS DUE TO FAULTY MACHINING OF CYLINDER HEAD. RESULTS IN OVERHEATING, ENGINE FAILURE OR FIRE. I HAD THE WATER PUMP AND RADIATOR REPLACED BEFORE A GOODYEAR TIRE CENTER IN CINCINNATI KNEW EXACTLY WHAT CAUSED THE OVERHEATING CONDITION. THEY STATED THAT THEY HAVE BEEN REPAIRING 3.8L FORD TAURUS AND SABLE OVERHEAT CONDITIONS FOR 1994/95 MODELS. THEY FIX AT LEAST ONE A WEEK AND HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR AWHILE. THEY STATE THAT THE CYLINDER HEADS ARE NOT PROPERLY MACHINED WHICH CAUSES THE HEAD GASKET FAILURE. MY TOTAL BILL WAS $1,178.41. FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT GOODYEAR TIRE CENTER, 6289 GLENWAY AVE., CINCINNATI, OH 45211, (513) 661-1510. I FEEL THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A DIRECT RECALL DUE TO THE NUMBER OF FAULTY MACHINED CYLINDER HEADS. THANK-YOU FOR YOUR HELP IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. *AK
