Description of the problem | Add another member to the ford windstar club with failed head gaskets. Because we purchased our vehicle in november of 1994, we missed being covered by the extended warranty by three months, even though our vehicle had only 62,439 miles at the time of the head gasket failure. Ford says there is nothing they can do. I'm preparing a small claims suit where i will ask for an exception to the extended warranty requirements, and reimbursement in full for the cost of repairs.
