Description of the problem | Car will not crank due to blown head gasket. Ford has recognized problems with head gaskets on 1995 3. 8l engines but state they will not cover this failure since the car has over 60,000 miles. $1000 repair bill is totally unacceptable for a known defect in ford's product. Both dealer service department and ford customer assistance state my vehicle is not covered by the campaign ford had concerning their head gasket problem. |
