Description of the problem | Ford has extended the manufactuers' warranty on this head gasket failure and associated damage up to 100,000 miles... Because our car had 104,200 miles ford was unwilling to provide any repairs. These head gaskets fail at a rate over 200 times the rate of other cars. We were well aware of this problem, however our car was asymptomatic until it suddenly failed. *ak |
