Description of the problem	I also had the head gasket fail on our ford windstar. So , the dealer replaced the engine as per the recall by ford at no cost to me. About one month later the low oil light comes on. When i checked the oil, it was not even touching the dipstick. It was filled and brought back to the mentioned dealer who did the original replacement of the engine. They found no oil leaks and said the engine would have to break in for 5000 miles. My wife and i drove the car 6000 miles and logged the mileageand the amount of oil every time we had to add it. We were burning 1 quart every 1000 miles. The cars was brought back to the dealer in april 2000 as perf there request to return once the engine was "broken in". They ran an oil consumption test and requested that i return with the car whne it was 1 qt low ( basically they changed the oil and filter and marked the level on the dipstick. After one month it was a quart low after driving about 1200 miles. When i returned to the dealer. They stated that consumption of 1 quart of oil every 900 miles is within ford specifications. I have written letters to the dealership, ford's complaiint dept. And to the director of ford vehicle service programs. I receved 1 phone call stating that my letters was received and ford would look into the problem. That was back in june, 2000. I have not heard from anyone since. Since then the transmission has also failed in the same vehicle @ 51k miles and another of these reports filed. I have found many people on various discussion boards with the same problems, yet ford refuses to do anything.. We need your help!!!
