Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I had a bad head gasket, problematic of most 3.8 litre rear wheel drive ford passenger cars from 1988 to 1996. ford has recognized the problem with the '94 through '96 3.8 litres, but these are the same 3.8 litres in the earlier models. i own a '93 thunderbird that just needed the head gaskets replaced for $1000.00 . i should not be expected to pay for a problem that ford motor company has admitted having. i would like to be reimbursed for the entire amount of the repair, due to the fact that ford is and was aware of the head gasket problem. thank you. *ak
