DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (60MPH), ENGINE'CHECK GAUGES' LIGHT WENT ON - TEMP GAUGE WAS RISING AND WENT PASSED THE RED ZONE. THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON AND THE HEATER WAS BLOWING COLD AIR. AFTER EXAMINATIONS  I BLEW A HEAD GASKET. NOW I LEARN THAT THERE WAS A FORD PROGRAM EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON THE HEAD GASKET TO 7 YEARS/100,000 MILES - INITIATED APRIL, 2000. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE PROGRAM AND HAVE JUST EXCEEDED THE 100,000 MILES. FORD IS UNWILLING TO ASSIST ME IN ANY WAY, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND I WAS NOT ALERTED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH AT LEAST 5 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND WITH 3 REPS AT THE CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER AND HAVE REC'D MUCH CONTRADICTORY INFORMATION REGARD THE LOGISTICS OF THE CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION BULLETINS AND THE DETAIL OF THE PROGRAM. IM SORRY TO SAY THAT ALTHOUGH I WOULD NEVER BUY A FOREIGN CAR, MY NEXT CAR WILL NOT BE A FORD. *AK

AFTER VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP FROM SKIDDING, NOTHING WAS STRUCK/HIT, BOTH AIR BAGS INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED. MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED ,AND INFORMED CONSUMER TO TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND HAVE THEM CHECK FOR A MALFUNCTION DEFECT. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO CHECK FOR DEFECTS. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS ON THIS MATTER. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE CHECK GAUGES" LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH BOARD. I LOOKED AND SAW THAT THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE HAD GONE UP AS FAR AS IT COULD GO. I BROUGHT IT TO AN AUTO SERVICE CENTER AND HAD IT CHECKED. I WAS TOLD I HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. MY CAR ONLY HAS 46,500 ON IT AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. I WAS TOLD THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THAT YEAR THUNDERBIRD AND I FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS.*AK

TRANSMISSION IN THESE THUNDERBIRD IS TERRIBLE THE PERSON I BOUGHT IT FROM HAS ALREADY HAD IT FIXED AND I HAVE TOO. IT IS STARTING TO ACT UP AGAIN FOR EXAMPLE I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND MY CAR WILL SLIP GEAR AND WILL CAUSE ME TOO TEMPORY LOSE CONTROL. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DRIVERS. *AK
