Description of the problem | Why won't the nhtsa do something about these constant head gasket failures in ford windstars? Why are consumers left to fend for themselves ? What will it take for the nhtsa to begin action? Help us or stop pretending that ford windstar owners have some imaginary recourse in these matters? I have experienced a blown transmission at 33,100 miles and now a blown head gasket at 70,800 miles. *ak |
