problem #1

Jan 092012

MKZ 3.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 78,000 miles

Bought the vehicle on 5/05/2011 and had it checked out by my mechanic and he didn't find anything wrong at all, less than a year later the dealer that did the oil change noticed oil leaks and they put dye in the oil to see where the leaks were coming from. They then told me the bad news. They said that the LH head gasket, oil pan front cover gasket, crank seal ,exhaust manifold gasket and valve cover gaskets needed to be replaced with the cost being $2350.00. So if anybody else has had this problem they are not alone in this nightmare.
