My car had a check engine light come on when I turned it on one day. It was on the weekend so I had to wait until Monday to get diagnostics at my local dealer. The car started to run really rough and was slipping. I took it to my local Ford dealer and they told me that my head gasket was blown and leaking antifreeze everywhere. I am currently awaiting to see if the head is cracked to which I'm told is common with this issue and this car. There was a recall for this in the same year my car was made, however, my car was not included into this recall in is now my responsibility financially to fix this. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.
