Description of the problem | My 1995 ford windstar gasket has blown for the second time. The last time it blew in 2001, ford finally replaced my engine, after fighting for 2 months, as the faulty part blew the engine. Ford also at this time extended the "owner notification" gasket problem (#98m01) from 60,000 to 100,000. Now,only 2 years later, the gasket has blown again, and ford again refuse to claim responsibility as my odomoeter reads 103,000, only 3,000 miles over the cut-off, but my engine is only 2 yers old. This part is the problem and ford put it in and ford should fix it. *ak |
