| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The ford 3.8l v6 has known high incidence of premature failure with this component -- the head gasket. my expenses to repair this component were 1371.77 since the car was out of warranty for 9000 miles at the time of the incident. they have extended warranty coverage and/or sales incentives to 1994/1995 owners, but will not extend the same consideration or compensation to owners of older vehicles experiencing the same condition. i am seeking the same inclusion of my model year under the same settlement. i do not believe that ford denies the existence of the problem, but rather feels that the purpose of this cmpensation is to influence future purchases, and that consideration made on any vehicle purchased before 1994 no longer represents a significant owner retension / marketing opportunity. *ak |
