"Eat me Ford"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Clutch needed to be replaced twice.

Head gasket blew, the mechanic argued with me about it saying that the antifreeze in the oil was there because I put it in there. After that the engine needed to be rebuilt.

Not much else.

General comments?

These are generally good cars. I guess I just got a bad one, I hope. But I really am sick of the dealers who are always a pain when something goes wrong.

Ford has a reputation for accusing the customer of abusing a car under warranty. My dealer refused to replace my clutch saying that the wear to my clutch pedal indicated that I was riding the clutch and voiding the warranty! This was unbelievable behavior (second only to VW dealers). I replaced the rubber pedal myself and went to another service dept. and got it fixed.
