Description of the problem | Engine head gasket was leaking from time i took car home. Was an itermittent problem on and off until seal finally gave way completely. In my opinion this should have been fixed by the dealer while the vehicle was under warranty. It was never properly diagnosed. Now when i take it in, and there have been many others like mine, they know what the problem is and they know the gasket was defective to begin with. I believe that i should be reimbursed for this repair completely (along with many others). Obviously people already know about the valve cover gasket problem with this vehicle amongst many others. Ford should do much more for the 1995 owners than they have done. *ak |
