ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I CONTACTED THE FORD COMPANY TO FIND OUT IF THIS WAS A RECALLED ITEM. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY HAD PUT AN EXTENED WARRANTY ON THE HEAD GASKETS WHICH EXPIRED ON 12/31/98. BUT SINCE IT WAS PAST THAT DATEWHEN I CONTACTED THEM THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS. WHILE FINDING OUT THIS IMFORMATION I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAD NEVER SENT ME THE WARRANTY INFORMATION BECAUSE THEY STILL HAD THE PREVIOS OWNERS NAME IN THEIR FILES ( 2 YEARS AFTER WE PURCHASED THE CAR). SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM I HAVE TALKED TO 6 OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME CAR ( MAKE MODEL AND YEAR) THAT HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM! AND THOSE ARE ONLY A FEW I KNOW IN THIS SMALL COMMUNITY! *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
RECEIVED LETTER FROM FORD VEHICLE SERVICE AND PROGRAMS DATED JUNE, 1998 ABOUT A PREMATURE HEAD GASKET FAILURE TO OWNERS WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL: SERVICE PROGRAM NUMBER 98MO1. THE LETTER STATED THAT THE HEAD GASKET FAILURE COULD CAUSE ENGINE OVERHEATING AND ENGINE FAILURE. THE PROGRAM HAD A FIX AT NO CHARGE TILL DEC. 31, 1998. I HAD SOME ENGINE OVERHEATING PROBLEMS THAT THE DEALER COULD FIND NO CAUSE FOR BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF THIS PROGRAM AND NOW, FIVE MONTHS AFTER EXPIRATION, AN ENGINE FAILURE AS A RESULT OF THE HEAD GASKET FAILURE OF WHICH FORD SAYS I WILL JUST HAVE TO PAY FOR: $1228! MY COMPLAINT IS THAT IF THIS WAS A DEFAULT FORD ADMITTED AND WAS WILLING TO REPAIR THEN WHAT ABOUT THOSE OF US THAT DIDN'T HAVE PROBLEMS UNTIL AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THEIR PROGRAM? THERE WAS ALSO A 5 YR. OR 60,000 MILES LIMIT ON IT, I AM STILL IN THE 5 YR. BUT DUE TO A HIGHWAY COMMUTE OF 100 MILES PER DAY, I AM OVER THE 60,000 MILE PERIMETER THAT WAS SET FOR THE PROGRAM. WHAT CAN I DO?
