I have a 1993 ford taurus 3.0 v6. I have read about the 3.8 v6's with head gasket problems. At just 71000 miles I have the same problem. I purchased this vehicle from my parents, who bought it new. My father is a retired nyc transit authority mechanic, and he was meticulous about the upkeep of his vehicles. Now I am face with an automobile that is nothing more than a huge paperweight.over the last few years it seems that I was just throwing good money after bad. A couple of hundred here, $700 for a complete overhaul of the A/C system, etc. I do not have the cash to spend approximately $1300 on repairs. I was shocked when I went to your website and brought up the information on my '93 taurus. The amount of tsb's that affect my car asounded me. I have paid for repairs to some, and thought others were just age issues. These tsb's that directly affect my automobile included; 93-23-6,94-19-4,94-16-3,96-7-5,96-15-3,95-3-4,96-22-1,93-3-9,&95-19-1. As I stated, this car has always been in my family. Why hasn't ford tried to contact us on any of these issues? On one of these tsb's, we developed a leak in a cooling line. The dealership chaged us $360 for repairs, when we found out that it was supposed to be covered by ford, we were only reimbused $60. Ford said the dealer should reimburse us the balance, and the dealer said that ford should reimburse us. Guess what, except for the $60, we never got reimbused the additional $300. I am at wits end. My wife and I bought this car from my mother a 5 years ago, when our family started to grow. Obviously with just 71,000 miles she does not do a lot of driving. Shopping and work for her are all within a 15 mile radius. But with the loss of a vehicle she has had to reduce the amont of work she would normally put in by 50%. Is there any help out there?
