Had head gasket repaired on engine that ford motror company knows has been defective since engines inception. Repairs over $2100.00.
On friday february 25, 2000 ford issued a press release for owners of 1994 lincoln continentials, 1995 ford windstars, and 1994-1995 ford tauruses and mercury sables. Owners of these vehicles whose head gaskets failed during a new warranty period of 7 years and 100,000 would be eligible for a refund of their repair bills. I had exactly the same problem with my 1993 lincoln continential but for some reason this model was not included. What factors determined who was eligible for this refund? I have contacted ford customer assistance and again they refuse to explain why I am not eligible even though I have the same engine and the same exact problem. They continue to advertise that "customer satisfaction is our number one priority" which is totally false.
At 40,217 miles on my 1993 lincoln continental my " engine check light" come on. I immediately took my car in for service and was told that I had blown a head gasket and had to replace my 3.8l engine. I contacted ford to find out what could have caused an engine failure at only 40,000 miles. To date, I have not received a satisfactory answer, only a lot of sympathetic words and "I am sorry mr. Blair we will not tell you about the complaints and performance of this engine and since your car is out of warranty we consider this matter closed." on searching the internet to find out how I can resolve my complaint I have found that other ford customers have had similar premature 3.8l engine failures. Can you help me resolve my concerns with ford? What is the process on organizing a possible class action suit ?
