Description of the problem | Recall notice: received one may 2000 for 95 ford windstar. It says there is a defect in their 3. 8l engine with the head gaskets. I am now having that problem but they will not repair it because they say it expired feb 2002. The cost is $1000-$2000. The car is not drivable at this time. Since ford is well aware of the defect and sent me the recall notice they should have fixed the defect right away instead of me having to go with out a van and rent a car and pay for the repairs myself. Thank you, julie gallahue dt |
