I wonder if anyone else has had this problem, or has a suggestion on how to deal with it. I have a 97 Taurus with the 3.0 Vulcan. A year and a half ago the coolant (which had been previously changed by the dealer) turned brown and the dealer, under warranty, thoroughly flushed the cooling system, replaced the 6 freeze plugs and the heater core. A couple of months ago the car lost coolant because the freeze plug behind the transmission failed. Since then, three other plugs failed including one that require the tranny be pulled again. I heard that Ford had received a bad batch of antifreeze a while back. Is there any TSB or extended warranty covering this particular problem?
