ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
TRUCK WAS BROUGHT IN FOR SCHEDULED SERVICE AND I WAS INFORMED A HEAD GASKET WAS LEAKING. THIS IS A VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. I DON'T BELIEVE THE ENGINE HAS EVER GONE OVER 3000 RPM, COST TO REPAIR $2,200. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SUBMITTED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET FORD TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM?*AK
