Description of the problem | Head gasket blew and caused timing belt gasket to fail as well. Per ford recall is only for 7 years or 100,000 miles and the van is 7 years and 8 months old and has 75,000 miles. Brought van to dealer @ 40,000 and dealer refused to check gasket and informed me that once it goes bad, bring it in and we will fix it and never mentioned anything about a time limit. Now dealer and ford is refusing to fix gaskets and they are asking $2,305 to fix problem that i believe should still be covered. |
