Description of the problem | This engine gasket failure occured 10,000 mile after an owner notification warning that this could occur up to 100,000 miles. This vehicle was stopped when the incident happened. The potential for fatal injuries is extremely high if a vehicle was riding on the highway. Ford motor company left us with a $4000. 00 repair. It is my hope that the owner notification is changed to a recall which includes fixing this gasket for as long as the vehicle is in operation.*ak |
