Mercury Topaz Engine problems by year

Mercury sable wagon 1994; 6-cylinder 3.8 L engine head gasket failure @ 149,161 miles- ford will not warranty engine beyond 100,000 miles even though it is a known defect with the 3.8 L 6 cylinder engines-- nhtsa should have required ford to warranty for at least 150,000 miles. Please require ford to replace engine!!!! Car is not fixed- I can't afford to fix this costly problem-- if I had adequate disclosure of the problem with 3.8L head gasket failures I would not have purchased this car....

My air conditioning won't work, my steering is a problem, when I hit the gas pedal once and then let go of it, my steering wheel moves back to its original positon. My valve cover gasket leaks so bad that it smokes. I put 3 quarts in it to go about 20 miles and that really sucks.
