As of last week I am a statistic. I need to sign up for the Class
action. For you website statistics I have a 97 with 92k miles. Ran great
up until about a month or two ago and I got a rattle. Didn't think that
it was much. Then last week she stopped me on the side of the highway.
After all is said and done I am buying a truck and going to do something
with the left over car. Who knows...maybe I'll donate it to science. Let
me know how to proceed to sign my name to the lawsuit. Thanks a bunch
for all the help. The site has been great.
Details pending

OK Here's what we've got so far. All the info related to who is my son Adam
since it was his car ad he was driving when it failed. All of the diagnosing and
parting out comes from me. After I get the engine out of the body and the back
head off I send you what I know in pictures and verbiage. Let me know if you
need any more info.

When this failure happened, I still owed $3000.00 on the SHO. Since I didn’t
have the money to fix the engine and my dad was laid off from Northwest Airlines
at the time, I had to finance an F150 and roll the three grand from the SHO into
the loan. The dealer only offered me $500.00 for the SHO on trade so I kept it.
I would like that $3000.00 back.
