Description of the problem | The headgasket blew on the way to work with little warning! I steamed into the nearest gas station where he immediately knew what the problem was as he has had several 1995 ford products with the same problem. Fortunately, the heads weren't cracked or apparently that would have cost another $1,000. 00. I did not receive a warranty extention, but even if i had, it had expired. Although i got nowhere with the dealer, i intend to send a compaint to ford as this just isn't right. *ak |
