Consumer Description

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.
