Description of the problem | The head gasket in my 1995 ford windstar failed ruining the engine. My wife and children were stranded on the side of the road until we could arrainge transportation. Ford, after repeated complaints is only willing to pay for a portion of the repair costs. I think this is a harzardous problem and ford should be more forthcoming. |
