95 ford taurus se sold to me by a major saturn dealer in september of 2001 sticker price around 6,000 before taxes etc. Traded in my paid for buick in good condition because of overheating that could not be fixed with vehicle history so easy to access these days, how could this be over looked by a major car dealer, selling to the general public, my vehicle has been on notice for recall for 8yrs.! I just became aware of this warranty recall a few months prior to the expiration of this recall notice. I accidently ran across the ford extended warranty card transferred to me when I purchased the car, called them and was given info that answered a lot of questions: last year, I spent every dime I could make, borrow, and beg to keep that car form blowing up, and running so that I could keep a roof me and my children?s head , (single mother with 2 children in las vegas is scary enough but without transportation I can?t even imagine. Car started overheating at odd times and way before any (normal heat reading), spewing coolant and so forth all over hoses and cables and radiator causing eventual erosion of all these hoses etc. Some hoses can cost up to $60 a piece! This overheating continued to simultaneously cause other problems such as build up of fluids(coolant mixture)in radiator at temperatures ranging from 117 degrees causing erosion of the same nature within the radiator, head gasket cracked and repaired at the tune of $1600. Still the electrical was over looked by the same mechanics time and time again. Neglect is a prevalent problem in this field and women are the victims here once again, helpless!
