Description of the problem | There was a recall on head gaskets - ford failed to notify us by mail nor did they notify us when we took it in for routine services. Now they won't fix it because it's past 60,000 miles. I took it to another mechanic, who fixed the problem at a cost of over $800. 00. The other mechanic is how i found out about the recall - ford shared that information with him - however, they failed to let us in on the secret. *ak |
