Description of the problem | We replaced the headgaskets at 38,000 and have just been told at (72,000) that the headgaskets were replaced with another set of faulty head gaskets, and that ford will not do anything to rectify the problem eventhough they had the limited "recall" program on headgaskets. It is too risky to drive the vehicle other than short trips. Due to vast number of problems with this vehicle resale is horrific and we are stuck with a car we can't afford to keep and can't afford to sell. *ak |
