Consumer Description

I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT REGARDING MY 1996 FORD WINDSTAR. I HAVE JUST LEARNED THE HEAD GASKET ON MY VEHICLE HAS BLOWN OUT WITH JUST 70K MILES ON IT. I KNOW FORD RECALLED 1995 MODELS AND AFTER SOME RESEARCH OF MY OWN, HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE ARE JUST AS MANY 96'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND FORD REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING WITH THAT MODEL YEAR.
