Description of the problem | Ford had acknowledged a faulty head gasket problem with the 95 windstars by extending their warranty service to cover up to 60,000 miles. They refused to cover the repair costs for my 95 windstar head gasket failure claiming i was out of warranty at 64000 miles. I feel that they acknowledged a faulty part by extending their warranty and should cover all head gasket failures on this model, not just to 60,000 miles. Ford motor company has absolutely refused to make good on this claim in any way. They simply state that it is not a covered warranty item and therefore i am responsible for the expense. *ak |
