Description of the problem | My 95 windstar has been nothing but problems since day one. My transmission went within 6 months after purchas., now the head gasket are gone, and ford knew there was a known problem with premature failure on there head gaskets on 3. 8l engines. I never received the notification letter from ford about this problem. I had vehicle towed to nearest dealership malouf ford in north brunswick, nj and was told it'll cost me about $1400 to repair. I feel this is totally unfair to saddle the consumer again with repair bills for something ford new was a problem. They should honor there product and fix and no cost to me. I will be filing a complaint with the better business bureau and the small claims court if ford doesn't what i feel is fair and right. Thanks francisco martinez. *ak |
