Brad DeGroft - Cam Failure # 160

new 12/22/02


This past week I was informed my 99 Taurus SHO had cam shaft failure. Unfortunately I have 49,000 miles on it and have been told by Ford too bad. The dealership gave me a number to call Ford customer service and after reading all the articles on your web page I found out Ford lies to everyone with the line...We are unaware of any problem.  I going to send emails and letters to the links you have on the page and hope maybe someone will help. After going to Kelly Blue Book and finding out the trade in value of a 99 SHO is about $10,000.00 how can I afford to put 5,000 to 10,000 I repairing the engine.  On the other hand I still have 15 months of payments left so how can I afford to make payments on a vehicle that is no longer drivable.  Since it is financed thru Ford maybe they would like to reposes their lemon.  If you have any new links to get some help from Ford please let me know.  I have bought 4 brand new Fords in than last 12 years and think I bought my last one in 2000.

here is my info
