Description of the problem	I am presenting you with my concern about the safety of the 1995 ford windstar minivans. We purchased one in 1998 from a reputable used car dealer in roanoke, va. Within the first year of ownership we had to replace the transmission. Within the following year, we had to replace the head gaskets. There was a recall on both of these items but we conveniently were past the issue date. I wrote ford a polite letter expressing my desire for assistance in these matters. They denied assistance and stated that if enough people complained that they would possibly up the recall again for the third time. Not 35,000 miles from the previous head gasket repair did they blow again. This was particularly dangerous due to the fact that the vehicle was flushing raw fuel out the tailpipe creating a serious fire hazard to my family. The van is currently sitting on magic city ford's lot as i am adressing you. Since these problems have begun to surface i have done a significant amount of research and have discovered that i am not the only one experiencing these problems. Rather it is a known problem with the vast majority of the entire line of 1995 ford windstars in which the company is conveniently eluding most of it's responsibilities to the consumer. I have even had people i do not know stop me and ask me if i had experienced any such problems. How can a vehicle that is proven to have so many defects from the get go been allowed to remain on the market? No matter how many times the head gaskets and transmissions are replaced they will continue to blow because a manufacturer defect in the engine itself. It is wrong to put a temporary fix on these vehicles and allow them to re-enter the consumer market knowing of these life threatening defects. If you would like, i can obtain multiple web-sites of thousands of people expressing the same problems with their vehicle. They too have been denied coverage by ford because they are conveniently past the recall. Thank you.*ak
