Description of the problem | My mechanic tells me this is his 28th head gasket repair to a ford car this year so far. I contacted my dealer's serv. Dept. And they tell me there was a recall in 1998 for this problem for my type of car. I did not get a notice. I called ford's 800# and they tell me there is nothing they can do. |
