Description of the problem | Due to the head gasket failure, these failures occurred. Ford will not replace or reimburse for the repairs. I would like to take some action as i do not have the money to repair such a new vehicle with such low mileage. This is a manufacturing defect that necessitated a series of engine repairs. I would like my situation to be investigated. Our engine could blow up at any time and it could have overheated had we not gotten it in for the warranteed repair on time. |
