ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
THIS IS THE SECOND MERCURY SABLE EQUIPPED WITH A 3.8L V6 THAT HAS SUFFERED THIS FAILURE.THE PREVIOUS CAR WAS A 1986 THAT FAILED AT 68,000 MILES AND INCURED ABOUT $1200 IN REPAIRS. THIS CAR WAS TRADED IN ON THE 1993 MODEL WITH ALL PAPERWORK IN THE GLOVE BOX CONCERNING ALL MAINTANACE AND REPAIRS. AFTER THE FAILURE ON THE '93 I CHECKED WITH VARIOUS GARAGES IN MY AREA AND FOUND OUT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IN THE 3.8L V6 IS SO COMMON THAT MOST SHOPS KEPT THE MATERIALS TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM IN STOCK. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I'VE JUST RECENTLY BECOME AWARE OF THE WIDE-SPREAD FAILURES OF FORD HEAD GASKETS. I WANTED MY COMPLAINT TO BE REGISTERED BECAUSE THE PERFORMANCE OF MY CAR IS DETERIORATING AND I'M AFAID OF ENGINE FAILURE AT THE WRONG TIME. I'M TRANSPORTING CHILDREN OFTEN AND I DON'T REALLY TRUST THE PERFORMANCE OF MY CAR ANY LONGER. A CAR THAT IS ONLY SEVEN YEARS OLD SHOULDN'T BE SO UNRELIABLE. FORD HAS AGREED TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT IN 1994 AND 1995 MODELS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THAT REMEDY DOES NOT ALSO APPLY TO THE SAME ENGINE MADE IN 1993. *AK
