Description of the problem | My 1995 windstar has experienced the infamous head failure gasket at a young life of 7 years and 1 month and less that 80,000 miles. My local ford dealership ( bowen scarff-kent wa) recommended engine replacement based on their vast experience with this failure. Ford as extended the warrany twice for this failure, but in my case i was one month outside the 7 year window. I have call various ford agencies and written multiple letters and have gotten no satisfaction for my request that ford pays the bill. Appreciate any help you can make in behalf. Thank you- bill benshoof dt |
