The car overheated severly while on the freeway, I had it towed and spent 2 weeks at 2 different automotive companies (including the Ford dealership in burien, wa) trying to get it fix before discovering it had cracked the block of the engine. I spent about $1,300 and had to salvage the car. Is there a possible way to get some compensation back from Ford? I have all my paper work since I bought the car. Thank you for any help. Gail bowman.
Temperature gauge constantly runs on high, consumer never knows if vehicle is overheating or not.
