Description of the problem | At 50,000 miles the head gaskets went out. At 60,000 the transmission went out. There was no reverse, and the car was very dificult to drive. At 70,000 the brakes went out. We had no anti-lock brake system and finally no brakes at all. Ford compensated us for the head gaskets only. This car is a hazard on the road! But we cannot afford another car right now! |
