Description of the problem | The #4 engine head gasket failed, without any warning. Apparently, ford has known of this problem and has done nothing to recall the 95 windstar's to replace the defective parts. They knew of the problem because they sent some people a 98mo1 letter stating so. However, they refused to reimburse anyone who's vehicle has over 60,000 miles or is 5 years old. Please investigate this problem. *ak |
