Help!! Ford motor company refuses to reimburse me for the failed head gaskets, which cost me a little over a thousand dollars to replace. They claim my 5 year warranty is up and that's that. According to much research that I have done, this is a very common problem on several ford models with 3.8l engines and is clearly a manufacturing defect, since ford has issued a revised head gasket to replace the old one. Can you give me any information on a possible class-action lawsuit, since there are so many consumers involved with this? Thanks for any help you can give.
