| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The head gaskets were replaces in feb. of 1994 after i owned the car for a few months. the problem reoccured in the summer of 1998. i had taken the car in a couple of times and the dealership looked at it and said that it was fixed. it kept on leaking coolant and i again returnrd it to the dealer. they replaced the timing cover gasket then but the problem kept on occuring. in march of 1999 i again took the car in and they told me the head gaskets were shot and the warranty was up so i would have to pay it. it cost $1086.40. i had them call ford but they would not cover it even though it was a reoccuring problem. i now see where they have had a number of complaints about this engine and the head gaskets going . the car has been well maintained over the years. i just noticed in the paper they extended warranties for the head gasket failure for the 3.8l v6 engines for the 1994 lincoln continentals . the 1993 's have the same engine in them also. i am now out $1086.40 for the work. *ak |
