I OWN A 95 FORD TAURUS WITH A SPEEDOMETER THAT BOUNCES WILDLY ABOVE 50 MPH. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I CAME ACROSS A FORD TSB 99-7-9 THAT HAS REPLACEMENT PART, WHEN I CALLED I WAS TOLD THE PART WOULD COST OVER $500.00. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS TOO OLD AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THIS. MY VEHICLE HAS 59,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS IN SAME CONDITION AS WHEN I BOUGHT IT NEW. I FEEL THAT THIS CONSTITUTES SAFETY HAZARD NOT KNOWING WHAT SPEED THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING. I THINK THAT IF YOU INVESTIGATE THIS, YOU WILL FIND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT. THAT IS WHY I AM MAKING RECORD OF THIS. *JB

95 TAURUS WAGON, AFTER HAVING CAR CHECKED NUMEROUS TIMES FOR VARIOUS TEMPERATURE CONTROL ISSUES WITH HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONING OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, HEAD GASKET BLEW...CALLED DEALERSHIP, AFTER FIRST NOTICING VAPOR FROM TAILPIPE ALONG WITH TEMPERATURE PROBLEMS. DEALERS EXPLAINATION WAS THERMOSTAT PROBLEM. ONE WEEK LATER, EXTREME AMOUNT OF BLUE VAPOR POURING OUT OF TAILPIPE ALONG WITH ANTIFREEZE FLUID LOSS THAT HAD CONTINUED TO OCCUR. CONTACTED DEALER, SAID IT WAS A HEAD GASKET AND WE SHOULD FILL WITH ANTIFREEZE AND FIND A NEW CAR, CAR HAS 84,000MILES. CONTACTED FORD MOTOR CORP. ABOUT EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE THAT BECAUSE OF LOW MILEAGE DIDNT COVER OUR CAR EVEN THOUGH SYMPTOMS OCCURED DURING COVERED PERIOD. FORD REFUSED TO HONOR OR ACKNOWLEDGE ANY RESPONSIBILITY EVEN KNOWING ABOUT GASKET PROBLEMS AND THE 3.8L ENGINE THEY INSTALLED IN THE TAURUS.

FORD OFFERED A FREE HEADGASKET REPLACEMENT FOR MY 1995 TAURUS IN A JULY18 2000 LETTER( THAT I RECEIVED IN FEB. 2002). WHEN THEY HAD THE HEADGASKET OFF THEY CALLED ME TO THE MY CAR AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE GEAR GASKET OR IT WOULD CAUSE THE HEADH\GASKET TO "GO BAD" AGAIN. WHEN I ASKED THEM WHY THE GEAR GASKET WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE FREE REPLACEMENT THEN HAS NO ANSWER. IT COST ME $567.29 TO HAVE THEM REPLACE THE GEAR GASKET. I THINK THAT THIS IS A BATE AND SWITCH.
