ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
HEAD GASKETS FAILED. I WOULD START MY CAR IN THE MORNING AND NOTICE THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE GO UP RAPIDLY. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE NEVER WENT PAST NORMAL AND INTO THE RED, BUT IT WAS MUCH WARMER THAN USUAL. DURING THIS TIME, NO HEAT WOULD BLOW. THEN THE TEMP WOULD DROP AND WARM AIR WOULD BLOW. WE CHANGED THE THERMOSTAT, TEMPERATURE SENSOR, AND HAD THE RADIATOR FLUSHED(WHICH DID SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR NEARLY A MONTH). NOTHING LEFT BUT THE HEAD GASKETS AND MAYBE EVEN A CRACKED HEAD. *AK

#739921January 25, 2001
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
OVERHEATING, LOSS OF POWER, LOSS OF OIL, PROBABLE BLOWN HEAD GASKETS, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES, DEALERSHIP STATED THEY WOULD REPLACE ENGINE (LONG BLOCK) DUE TO HEADS ON RECALL. GOT CAR BACK, THEY TEMP. REPLACED HEAD GASKETS UNTIL MOTOR ARRIVES IN 6 TO 12 WEEKS DUE TO HIGH VOLUME OF RECALLS. GOT CAR BACK, IN WORSE CONDITION THAN WHEN I TOOK IT TO THEM. TOOK IT BACK AGAIN BECAUSE THEY LEFT HOSES, BRACKETS UNHOOKED AND LOOSE. AND ALSO WITH THE SUSPENSION OF THE HEAD GASKETS NOT BEING CHANGED BECAUSE SAME HEAD BOLTS WERE IN MOTOR. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID CHANGE HEAD GASKETS AND BOLTS AND IF THERE WAS ANY MECHANICAL PROBLEM THEY WOULD FIX IT. AND IF IT WAS ELECTRICAL I HAD TO FIX IT OR PAY THEM TO FIX IT. LEFT IT THERE, PICKED UP VEHICLE AFTER 4 DAYS, NO CHANGE IN CONDITION OF MOTOR RUNNING. HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING SINCE. HAVE CALLED TO QUESTION ABOUT NEW MOTOR, AND STILL NO RESPONSE. HAVE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, BUT CAN"T DRIVE CAR

SEAT BELTS, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, STRUCTURE:BODY, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
DRIVER'S SEAT BELT IS FRAYING VERY BADLY WHENEVER ITS IN USE. IT WOULD SEEM TO CATCH ONTO SOMETHING WHEN BEING PULLED OUT TO USE, AND RETRACK BACK AFTERWARDS. BEEN TO DEALER AND REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY 3 YEARS AGO. CURRENTLY, PROBLEM HAS REAPPEARED. SNICE NOT UNDER WARRANTY, NO FREE REPAIR. DOORS DO NOT CLOSE PROPERLY DUE TO WINDOW HITTING ROOF. ROOF WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY ALSO. THIS CAUSED WINDOW TO BE OUT OF ALIGNMENT.*AK

HEAD GASKET FAILURE CAUSED ENGINE CORE TO WARP, THUS REQUIRING NEW/REMANUFACTURED ENGINE INSTALLATION. AFTER READING ABOUT ALL THE OTHER 95 FORD 3.8 L V6 ENGINES WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS, I WOULD THINK THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD BEAR THE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS MISHAP.*AK
