Description of the problem	The 1995 ford windstar van was purchased in october 1997 with about 45,000 miles. On july 9, 1999 a stranger approached in the pizza hut parking lot to say that black smoke was coming from the van. I took the van to johnson ford in marble falls where the mechanic said the problem was a blown engine head gasket. Estimated repair cost $ 1136. 00. Another repair shop said there had been a recall on the head gaskets for that vehicle. Ford motor company was contacted. The ford representative said there had been a recall but it had expired. I told them i hadn't received any notices regarding a recall. They then said there was no record of myself as the vehicle owner and a notice had been sent. When asked where the notice was sent they said to me. When asked to what address the representative said she only had a name another department had the address. A second phone call with ford motor company informed me i didn't receive a notice since i was the second owner, and because i didn't respond within the proper time frame of the recall there was no recourse. It was up to the customer to notify ford when they purchased a ford vehicle. They refuse to honor the recall. *ak
