| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1993 ford taurus 3.0 v6. i have read about the 3.8 v6's with head gasket problems. at just 71000 miles i have the same problem. i purchased this vehicle from my parents, who bought it new. my father is a retired nyc transit authority mechanic, and he was meticulous about the upkeep of his vehicles. now i am face with an automobile that is nothing more than a huge paperweight.over the last few years it seems that i was just throwing good money after bad. a couple of hundred here, $700 for a complete overhaul of the a/c system, etc. i do not have the cash to spend approximately $1300 on repairs. i was shocked when i went to your website and brought up the information on my '93 taurus. the amount of tsb's that affect my car asounded me. i have paid for repairs to some, and thought others were just age issues. these tsb's that directly affect my automobile included; 93-23-6,94-19-4,94-16-3,96-7-5,96-15-3,95-3-4,96-22-1,93-3-9,&95-19-1. as i stated, this car has always been in my family. why hasn't ford tried to contact us on any of these issues? on one of these tsb's, we developed a leak in a cooling line. the dealership chaged us $360 for repairs, when we found out that it was supposed to be covered by ford, we were only reimbused $60. ford said the dealer should reimburse us the balance, and the dealer said that ford should reimburse us. guess what, except for the $60, we never got reimbused the additional $300. i am at wits end. my wife and i bought this car from my mother a 5 years ago, when our family started to grow. obviously with just 71,000 miles she does not do a lot of driving. shopping and work for her are all within a 15 mile radius. but with the loss of a vehicle she has had to reduce the amont of work she would normally put in by 50%. is there any help out there? |
