Description of the problem | Blown head gaskets around july, 1998 which ford paid for. They charged me around $900 to fix a leak to the timing cover that i think was caused by the head gaskets. While it was in the shop, i complained about the transmission slipping while rounding corners and it "jerks" into gear after stopping at lights/signs. The "check engine" light comes on intermitently and remains on and diagnostics are not conclusive, the owners manual says "drive train problem". I've also complained about the brakes squeaking and been told it's "brake dust" but i'm not convinced. |
