While vehicle was parked for 5 minutes a fire started in the engine compartment without any warning. No previous problems. Please provide further information.
Catalytic converter permaturely clogged. Vehicle needed three catalytic converters to be replaced due to manufacturer's defect. Seeking additional information and help from the federal safety agency in this matter.
Upon research of the 3.8 ford engines, I have found that there is a recurring problem with blown head gaskets, most specifically in the taurus. However, the thunderbird is also experiencing the problem. Ford has recalled the taurus, but not the thunderbird. There were no prior evidences of gasket troubles. I had the car checked out by 2 knowledgeable mechanics prior to purchase, and by my regular mechanic prior to the used warranty. All agreed it to be a clean car and good deal. The head gaskets just blew with absolutely no warning. After lengthy discussions with ford, they refused to stand behind the deffect.
