Man I feel sorry for you guys with these modern cars. Is it because of they have a cast iron block and aluminum heads that they have this problem? With prices like you guys mention for repairs I couldn't afford to own one of these new cars. My last 3 beaters I have had from 1983 to present cost me 400$ for the cars and around 2,000$ in repairs. The new Hornet is not one of these 3 cars. "Doc"

I feel your pain Terry, Thanks, Davis twa1950@xxxx wrote: I had that problem with my 94 Cougar they limited the recall to cars with less than 100,000 miles on them. Mine had 107,000. I tried everything price of parts or whatever they would give me. They said sorry for my luck. I can't remember the price of the gaskets but seems to me they were around 7 or 8 hundred. They wanted around 1700 or 1800 to replace them. Since I was getting a knocking sound and it took awhile for the oil pressure to build when I first started it I went with a rebuilt engine for 2600 with a 3 year warranty. I thought about doing the rebuild myself but with all that junk under the hood. I said forget it. I know that was the most expensive 7,000 miles I ever drove. Just to let you know your not alone.
