ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE HEAD GASKETS ON MY CAR WHICH IS A 94 MERCURY SABLE W/ A 3.8 LITER V6 ENGINE. THE HEAD GASKET HAS FAILED ON MY CAR AND I WAS NOT INFORMED OF A EXTENDED WARRANTY NOT EVEN WHEN I CALLED MY DEALER AND ASKED FOR A QUOTE ON THE 94 SABLE WHICH I WAS QUOTED1350.00 , IF THE ENGINE IS GONE TO THEN 3000.00. I FEEL IT IS UNFAIR I AM BEING PENALIZED FOR A FAULTY PART I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF AND ONLY 300 MILES AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, THE COPY OF THE WARRANTY STATES TO HAVE THE HEAD GASKET CHANGED EVEN IF THERE IS NO PROBLEMS.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
I FIRST REPORTED THIS TO FORD AND TO THE NHTSA AFTER A TRIP IN AUGUST 1999 WHEN MY CAR STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES DURING A MOTOR TRIP IN IN VERY HOT WHETHER. IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT WE ESCAPED INJURY. LAST WEEK I TOWED MY SMALL BOAT WITH THE CAR IN MILD WEATHER AND AFTER ABOUT 75 MILES THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AND WE WERE AGAIN LUCKY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I READ AN ARTICLE IN THE AUGUST 2001 NEWSPAPER THAT FORD HAD AGREED TO REPLACE THE FAULTY IGNITION PART IN CARS WHERE IT HAD FAILED BUT FORD DENIED THIS WHEN I CALLED THEM. WHAT IS GOING ON? I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR IN HOT WEATHER OR TO TOW MY BOAT WITH IT OR TO USE IT IN CONDITIONS WHICH WILL CAUSE HIGH ENGINE HEAT. IF I DON'T GET HELP SOON I MUST GET RID OF MY CAR.*AK
