Description of the problem | The last incident reported dated 1/07/00 i was told a very common occurrence with the 3. 8 liter engines. Commonly seen in the 95 windstar and the ford taraus. I had a coolent leak and had to replace the timing cover, and gasket. This was extensive work with required replacement of the front crankshaft, oil seal and new timing belt. This also did damage to my water pump and i had to have this replaced also. I have copies of my invoices for the services completed and would like to know how to report this to ford directly. *ak |
