Focus TAM 2.0L

  • Manual transmission
  • 104,000 miles

Car overheated and quit working. I was towed to the nearest Ford Dealership and they estimated that is might be head gasket problems or the engine needed to be replaced. They were charging me 100 bucks an hour to just look and diagnose. But, the first hour they couldn't figure it out. So then they said that to fully diagnose the problem, it would be at least $600 to diagnose and if it's the engine, it would be $2000 dollars. I decided to get rid of the car and get a new one. This Ford has been giving me trouble for the past few years.
