Six problems related to engine head gasket failure have been reported for the 1996 Ford Taurus. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
2nd Ford vehicle to have head gasket failure. First was my 1995 Ford windstar which I already reported to you. It was 1,000 miles over their extended 100,000 limit. This has caused serious financial difficulty to our family that may take a few years to catch up. Took Ford to small claims court last week and lost. This is a travesty to have this happening to families all over the country. I sincerely hope your organization can force them to pay reparations.
