ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WE WERE BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY ON SATURDAY, JULY 21ST. WHEN I BRAKED TO SHIFT TO DRIVE THE CAR MADE A THUNK AND JUMPED. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AND I HAD NO STEERING. MY WIFE AND I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND LOOKED TO SEE THE ENGINE AND SURROUNDING COMPONENTS TILTED BACK TO THE GROUND. APPARENTLY, THE REAR ENGINE MOUNTS RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING THE COMPONENTS TO FALL. WE CALLED A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO TOW THE CAR AND THE OWNER SAID THAT HE MAY HAVE REMEMBERED SEEING A RECALL ON THESE CARS AND THAT HE WOULD CHECK ON MONDAY. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME FORDS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. ONE ON THE NEIGHBORS MENTIONED SEEING A SPECIIAL ON 60 MINUTES REGARDING THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. TODAY THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP CALLED AND SAID THAT HE CALLED GM AND THERE WAS NOT A RECALL FOR OUR CAR FOR THAT PARTICULAR YEAR. I DRIVE THIS CAR ON A BUSY HIGHWAY BACK AND FORTH TO TO WORK. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAD IT HAPPENED THE NIGHT BEFORE DRIVING HOME AT 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. A NINE YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT LOSE IT ENGINE AND STEERING. I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH OTHER YEARS AND MAKES (I.E. PONTIIAC GRAND PRIX) WHY THEY WOULD NOT RECALL ALL AS THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS.*AK
