Description of the problem	We experienced a problem with our head gasket failing and subsequent repairs as a direct result of the head gasket failure. We had received a letter from ford stating that there was a potential for the head gasket failure and there would be an extended warranty to cover the replacement of the gasket however our problem is that ford knnows there is a problem with the 1995 windstar and did not cover the additional expensed we incurred because of a direct correlation with the failure of the head gasket. We had to pay $1100 out of our own pocket. If ford had simply placed a recall on these defective parts we would not have had this expense. I have spoken to three different people at ford's customer relations and not one single person wants to hear what i have to say. Our service mmanager informed us it is a problem and form motor co. Is well aware of it and chooses to do nothing to help the customer. Basically i was told by sherwin in customer relations that unfortunately i am an unsatisfied customer and they only have a handful of unsatisfied customers. He also told me they did an investigation and found that my repairs were not a result of the failure of the head gasket. I spoke to the service manager at dennison ford in bloomington and he confirmed my suspicions that he never talked to anyone in customer relations concerning my vehicle. Luckily i was only going 25 mph and am wondering what could, have happened if i would have been traveling at 65 mph on the interstate when my engine failed. I tried to file a complaint with sherwin today and i was told, i do not have a complaint to file. I was told i have no proof whatsoever to back up my claims however i was told,,,,,,,,,,by someone at dennison that yes indeed some of this engine fail,ure was a result of the head gasket problem. I feel that ford is not genuinely concerned with the safety of their customers. Is there anything you can do to help me? Thank you.*ak

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
