Description of the problem | Our 95 ford windstar has it's 3rd engine, because of head gasket problems, we purchased the extended warranty and 11 days after it expired the engine went out we are now in the process of trying to get ford to cover the entire cost, which they are fighting, we feel this is a re-accuring problem which they should stand behind their faulty product. We expect a brand new vehicle to last much longer than this a four year old vehicle should not be on it's 3rd engine. We have been loyal ford customers, but feel we have a lemon with this vehicle. |
