#720278March 18, 2000
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AFTER THE HEAD GASKET WAS REPLACED IN 01-98, THE CRANKSHAFT AND RADIATOR NEEDED REPLACING DUE TO THE HEAD GASKET BEING REPLACED.IN 02-98 THE CRANKSHAFT WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE TIMING COVER BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE WEAR. IN 12-98 THE HEAD GASKET WAS REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL. THE TIMING CHAIN COVER GASKET WAS REPLACED AT THE FOLLOWING MILEAGES-44832,45520,67205. ACCORDING TO THE RECEIPTS GIVEN TO ME AT THE TIME, THE TRANSMISSION OIL PAN GASKET WAS REPLACED TWICE UNDER THE SAME DAY. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT BY DOING THAT, THEY COMBINED THREE DIFFERENT WORK ORDERS INTO ONE. THE NEXT TIME IT WAS REPLACED WAS AT 71387. THE CRANK WAS REPLACED AT 45520 MILES, THE SEALS WERE REPLACED AT 46942 , 67205, 68523 AND 67205. FORD MOTOR COMPANY , THROUGH PROGRAM #00M09 , IS ADMITTING A PROBLEM WITH THE 3.8 L ENGINE WITH REGARD TO THE HEAD GASKET. THIS PROGRAM IS ALLOWING FOR A REFUND ON OUT OF POCKET TO THE CONSUMER FOR REPLACING THE HEAD GASKET OR A REBATE ON A NEW FORD OR MERCURY VEHICLE. I AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR EITHER OF THOSE BECAUSE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY , WHICH WAS PURCHASED THROUGH FORD, WAS BOUGHT WITH A $0 DEDUCTIBLE. I FEEL I AM BEING PUNISHED BECAUSE OF AN OPTION THAT WAS THE MOST FINANCIALLY SOUND AT THE TIME.

I WILL FAX TO YOUR (202) 366-7882 NUMBER THE LETTER I SENT TO JAC NASSER CEO, FORD MOTOR COMPANY, THEIR LETTER (WHICH I DIDN'T RECEIVE IN THE MAIL) INDICATING POSSIBLE PREMATURE FAILURE OF HEAD GASKETS, THE FORM LETTER THAT THEY SENT ME IN RESPONSE. I FEEL THAT IF THEY KNEW THAT THEY HAD INSTALLED DEFECTIVE HEAD GASKETS THAT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. THE TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE WHICH I EXPERIENCED WAS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE RIGHT FRONT ENGINE MOUNT HAS FAILED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I DID NOT BUY EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE WITH THIS CAR. THE FIRST FAILED 90 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. I AM NOW ON THE FOURTH FAILED MOUNT. THESE ARE FLUID FILLED AND OBVIOUSLY NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE THE TORQUE APPLIED. THEY START BY LEAKING AND THEN FOLLOW WITH ENGINE LIFT AND BUMP DURING ACCELERATION. ALL REPLACEMENTS HAVE BEEN PURCHASED THROUGH NAPA AUTO PARTS DEALERS IN MY AREA. I HAVE ASKED FOR A SOLID REPLACEMENT, BUT HAVE BEEN INFORMED THEY DO NOT EXIST.
