Engine overheats with ac on headgasket blow and head warped and heads need shaving headgaskets replaced and head bolts replaced out of pocket cost 1500. 00 or better.

2 Blown Head Gasket problem

Failure Date: 04/10/1999

The first head gaskets blew at 40,000 miles and were replaced at my cost, and now, again, at 80,000 miles head gaskets are going bad. I have had multiple other problems with this vehicle since it's purchase, although this has been the most frustrating and costly. There is definately a problem here that needs to be addressed by Ford. They have, thus far, turned a deaf ear to the problem. Thank you.
