Description of the problem | Head gasket failure on van. Warranty ended 2 weeks ago. This should not happen on a vehicle with so little mileage. I understand thousands of people across the country are facing this problem daily with their windstars. Why is ford not being more aggressive in compensating for an obvious and admittably falty construction design with the engine?*ak |
