Tl*the contact owns a 1995 ford taurus. While driving 15-20 MPH, the contact heard a loud clunking noise underneath the hood and a loss of steering. The engine fell and landed on the steering rods, which made it extremely impossible to maneuver the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent dealer and they confirmed that the damage was not worth the repair, and would not recommend investing money into the vehicle. A week prior to the failure, the independent mechanic at a local midas installed a new muffler. There were several recalls listed for that year, make, and model vehicle and ford was notified. The contact was informed that there was only one recall for the year, make, and model vehicle, but in reality, there were six. Ford also stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under recall on october 6, 1999. The contact stated that he did not receive a recall notice or have any repairs performed at the location they claimed. The current and failure mileages were 103,013.

1995 ford taurus 3.8l station wagon with only 28,000 miles on it blew the head gasket. Today, february 15, 2008 we called bob davidson ford in towson, ford customer service, and ford executive offices, who all say they will not give any assistance to fix the problem because of the age of the car. It does not matter how old the car is, it only has 28,000 miles on it and this is a known problem with the car. Ford should pay to fix the car or give some decent sort of allowance to help cover the cost of the repair. It has been regularly over the years, generally several times a week, but not far, because the owner is elderly. If it was driven by a younger person, the problem would have shown up years ago, well within the 7 year warranty ford gave for this problem under ford service campaign 00m09. We want ford motor to pay for this repair. We are waiting for an estimate to repair the head gasket from bob davidson ford in towson md. We do not even know yet if the engine has been damaged. It is totally unacceptable for ford to refuse to cover this known defect. We are planning to write directly to chairman william clayton ford about this. We would appreciate any guidance you can give us. Thank you.
