Description of the problem | Engine failure due to failed cam shaft bearing. Head gasket had been replaced 6 month prior due to leakage. Ford dealership making repair could not obtain the cam shart replacement kit because "demand had exceeded expectations". We had to buy a short block. Other problems: brakes pumping - need new rotors several months after getting new pads. Another problem - interior lights that will not go off have required repair two time. |
