Description of the problem | Recently had head gasket failure which resulted in a cracked head. Ford reimbursed the bill for this repair, but now the vehicle is in a service provider with a new problem. They say that i have a " bad or blown" bearing which might require a new motor costing upwards of $4000. 00. I'm totally disgusted with this vehicle. Under 60,000 miles and i've had the head replaced and now i'm told that the motor needs to be replaced. Is there anything that can be done? Is ford aware of this new problem and if so are they going to make good??? Please help. Desperate |
