I was driving my mother to a friend's house which is about 5 mi away car ran fine. Drop her off get back on the road and out of nowhere the check engine light comes on and the temperature gauge is buried in the red and it says to pull over immediately safely so I do. Pop the hood sit in the parking lot for about 15 minutes. But as I pop the hood nothing really seems to be hot like you would think. Call my mechanic he says to sit there 15-20 minutes and then drive it to his shop which is about 4 miles from where I'm at. So I started the car and drove it to his shop, the drive to his shop everything was fine it drove perfect and when I pull in the check engine lights on. I don't remember what the code was but basically the engine had got to 255 degrees. He originally said it was a blown head gasket it was going to be 3,200 to fix and the motors in these cars are known for this problem.
So the car was at the shop for 3 weeks come to find out under where the head goes there's a little crease itty bitty that leaks coolant into the cylinders. Fix is a brand new motor. And the mechanic told me that this has been a problem because the new motors are made differently wear that little itty bitty crease or hole is. The mechanic quoted me $8,000 for a new motor the car is only worth $6. I told him to put it back together with new head gaskets on it and I'm going to sell it as soon as I can. I've written letters to Ford corporate without any response I did not contact the dealership.
