I drive 50,000 miles a year and I have wore out many vehicles but I have never had to replace an engine . I ma very disgusted with Ford and the fact that I have a $42,000 piece of junk.

On 3/15/08, my SUV began running very roughly and the engine light began flashing. I took it to a local but respected garage and they could not figure out what was wrong with it. I then took it to the dealer and their diagnosis was the engine needed to be replaced. The SUV has 39,000 miles. It is out of warranty, but how can a $40,000 car blow the engine at 39,000 miles? The dealer can not tell me what caused the damage. I have done regular maintenance on the vehicle at the correct intervals. The estimate was for $7900 but the dealer offered to take $3000 off the price and they have been very understanding. I want Ford to pay for the rest. This is not a normal issue but a catastrophic failure. If the roof on your house collapsed, don't you think you could sue the builder and be reimbursed even though the warranty was up. I am hoping Ford will see it my way but I am not very optimistic. Any suggestions on how to deal with this issue are welcome.
