Description of the problem | The head gasket on my ford failed and the engine had to be rebuilt. I am aware of what ford is doing now with the extended warranties on these windstars. However, i have a letter dated 6/98 that states "on vehicles for which the extended warranty coverage has expired, vehicles are eligible for this program(engine repair/replacement) through 12/31/98 regardless of mileage. I want to know if my repairs will be covered as my engine blew on 12/31/98. I paid for all repairs myself . *ak |
