This is the continuation of problems with a highly problematic vehicle. 5 years, 90,000 miles have replaced so far: Head gaskets, rear suspension twice, front suspension, ignition wires, O2 sensors twice, and now injector and fuel pump. Over $3,000 in out of pocked expenses over what was covered on extended warrantee. Vehicle is not reliable and am looking to trade in on anything other than a Ford! at Ford, quality is job none!

Head gasket failed on Nov. 16, 1999. I picked up the vehicle from the dealer on Nov. 19 and drove it home (~15 miles). I immediately called the dealer and told them the engine was running hot. I was told to go ahead and drive the car. On Dec. 6 (after more phone conversations), I took the car back and was told the no.2 fuel injector had failed. On Dec. 97 I picked the car up and before I could get it home again, the "engine" check light came on, and the car ran very roughly. I immediately called the dealer and they told me to drive it for a feew days to see what happened. On Dec 22, I returned the car to the dealer, and again the N0. 2 cylinder has "a problem" that the dealer can't diagnose. Ford is offering no assistance.
