Description of the problem	Ac coolant was low and switching mechanism had to be replaced. At 54000 miles was told timing cover was leaking and head gasket was leaking. Head gasket was finally covered at no charge but timing cover got little relief. Now at 80000 miles, the coil assembly fails and i am told that my head gasket is leaking again and the dealer says they only guarantee their work for one year. We had the head gasket fixed on the recall. It appears the headgasket may be leaking again (one ford dealer says it leaks another says it doesn't). We are in for regular servicing next week --we will see what they find). Our vehicle being repaired once and beyond 7yrs old seems to be beyond what will be covered. The van has only 139,000 kilometers on it (so we are not past the 100,000 mile barrier). We have had another gasket on the time cover replaced which i think was also a recall item. I appreciate keeping up the pressure in the campaign against ford.
