ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN MARCH 2002, BUT BY MID-JULY, IT WAS NO LONGER OPERABLE. MY COLLEGE-AGE SON WAS DRIVING IT HOME FROM WORK WHEN IT OVERHEATED & HE HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. AFTER IT COOLED OFF, HE ADDED WATER & DROVE TO A SAFER PLACE WHERE HE ADDED MORE WATER & COOLANT, THEN TRIED TO GET HOME. THE CAR STALLED ON THE SERVICE ROAD/RAMP TO THE TOLLWAY & HAD TO BE PUSHED ASSIDE WITH THE HELP OF A POLICEMAN. I HAVE SINCE BECOME AWARE THAT THERE IS A MAJOR MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN THIS CAR REGARDING A FAULTY HEAD GASKET. FORD HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES/7 YEARS, BUT WON'T COVER MY CAR SINCE IT'S NOW OLDER THAN 7 YEARS. MR
