Description of the problem | Major head gasket problem with this vehicle now problem with front engine cover due to poor workmanship when engine was replaced. Ford needs to admit that this is a real problem and fully compensate for repairs . Coil spring failure is very dangerous. I am glad that it happened when the vehicle was going into the driveway and not at highway speeds like when the engine blew. It is two bad this model year was a disaster and ford play such a game with a serious safety issue. A m. *ak |
