Description of the problem | After researching the internet, i learned that many customers have had to replace transmissions in the windstar before reaching 50,000 miles and replace head gaskets around 70,000 miles. The cost of both repairs is expensive and ford does not cover these expenses if you did not respond to a letter they say they sent everyone. I feel that ford should pay to correct the problem which they know exists. |
