| A/c was inoperative when vehicle was purchased from dealer. dealer repaired a/c as condition of purchase. a/c failed again about a month after repair and has been inoperative since. rear differential started making a low whining noise that became a loud whining noise after a couple days. ended up replacing whole rear axle assembly and differential from salvage yard myself because it was much less expensive than what the repair place wanted. transmission began slipping during acceleration. after a couple days it quit moving the vehicle completely, as if it were in neutral. i replaced the transmission with one from a salvage yard since, once again, it was the least expensive way to go. the heater core recently began to leak inside the vehicle and steam up the windows. the heater core has been capped off and not yet replaced. finally, just two days ago the engine began running very rough and intermittently stalled. looking under the hood revealed there was no water in the radiator. upon reservicing the radiator and starting the engine water was noticed pouring out of the exhaust pipe. i can only presume either the head gasket has failed or the cylinder wall is cracked permitting the coolant water to enter the combustion chamber. the vehicle is currently undriveable and parked while my wife and i try to figure out how to afford to fix yet another problem with this piece of trash ford aerostar. | |||
