Description of the problem | This head gasket failure appears to be common on this model of 1995 windstar. Although ford extended the warranty to 60,000 many defects occur just miles beyond this. They have acknowledged this is a weakness in this model, but do not reimburse the owner for the expensive repairs. This problem first surfaced at 26. 400 miles and was taken into the dealership for repair. Obviously, it was not permanently repaired for the same situation is now occuring. My research reveals an extremely high number of similar complaints with this model. *ak |
