Description of the problem | The extended warranty for head gasket failure on our 1995 ford windstar was 7 years from date of purchase. The head gasket is failing now, 20 days after the warranty expired. Elk grove ford and the ford motor company say that it's not their problem. The warranty should be extended! In good faith ford should repair this obviously defective part that wasn't detected on a oil change not too long ago!*ak |
