I DON'T HAVE THE INFORMATION FOR ALL THE ABOVE BUT COULD FIND IT IF NECESSARY. I AM MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEAD GASKET WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM THAT COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND, LIVING ON A SMALL PENSION AND SOCIAL SECURITY, DO NOT HAVE THGE MONEY TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE A 1993 MERCURY SABLE AND I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS REPAIRS DONE TO IT. MY SON AND I WERE DRIVING HOME LAST SUNDAY FROM THE MALL AT NIGHT AND THE HEADGASKET BLEW OUT. WE WERE DRIVING IN THE DARK WITH CARS BEHIND US AND A HUGE CLOUD OF WHITE SMOKE BLOWING OUT THE BACK END CAUSING ME TO DRIVE VERY SLOWLY ON THE 45 AND 55 MILE AN HOUR HIGHWAY . PEOPLE WERE FORCED TO DRIVE AROUND ME AND I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING AS I AM NOT A MECHANIC. I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE AND WAS PANICKING. I FINALLY FOUND A PLACE TO PULL OVER IN THE 30 DEGREE TEMPS. I WENT ON TO FIND OUT THAT THIS HEADGASKET HAS BLOWN OUT IN NUMEROUS YEARS AND MODELS BUILT BY FORD AND THEY KNOW IT IS DEFECTIVE YET HAVE ONLY OFFERED RECALLS AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON A FEW YEARS AND MAKES. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE VECHICLES WITH THIS DEFECTIVE PART. IF I HADN'T OF HAD SOME PRESENCE OF MIND WE COULD HAVE VERY WELL OF CAUSED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PART ON MY VEHICLE, NOT TO MENTION MY SON BEING SCARED TO DEATH THAT WE WERE GOING TO BLOW UP.

SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR I HAVE HAD OVERHEATING PROBLEMS. MY ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ALSO HAS COME ON MANY TIMES. TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM I BOUGHT A NEW RADIATOR, TUNE-UP,AND TWO CASES OF ANTI-FREEZE . FINALLY I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS MY HEAD GASKET THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE DAMAGE IT CAUSED.
