Description of the problem | I have owned my van since january 2000. Shortly after purchasing, my van had a blown head gasket, which was fixed under the ford recall. Still within the recall, a head gasket blew again. Ford told me the recall only allows for a one time repair. Since then, my van is on its third engine and third transmission. Most recently we have had to replace the main computer as well. We have spent more money fixing the van than what we paid for it. *ak |
