You might talk to a dealer about "going to bat" for you for some sort of "customer loyalty" rebate. But don't hold your breath - despite the fact that I owned 3 Fords when my 93 T-bird blew a gasket, customer loyalty meant nothing to them. Sorry I can't offer any other ideas.
P.S. Both the Windstar had it's tranny replaced at 36K (right after the warranty ran out) and the Taurus' tranny was replaced at 25K I guess that is why F.O.R.D. stands for Found On Road Dead !!!!!
I'm the original owner of a '92 Taurus 3.8L with 87K miles on the clock. This is no longer our primary car & spends days at the railroad station & weekends running errands. We have a hard time putting 5K miles/year on the car. Because the car has been pretty good repair-wise, on the whole, I'd like to keep it. (Why spend $15K or more on something that will only pull railroad station duty?)
How likely is it that my car will suffer HG failure?
Thanks!
