Consumer Description

12/02 ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON - HAD TO HAVE UPPER PLENUM GASKET, O-RINGS, VACUUM ELBOW AND VALVE COVER WITH GASKET REPLACED FOR $600.00. 4/03, CAR LESS THAN 3 YRS. OLD BUT WITH 44K MILES, THE TRANSMISSION BLEW: WELD BROKE ON THE "DRUM OVER THE PLANETARY GEAR". SO WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36K MILES BUT WINDSTAR STILL UNDER 3 YRS. OLD. I EXPECT A CAR TO LAST AT LEAST 3 YEARS BEFORE ANYTHING THIS EXPENSIVE HAPPENS. WANT FORD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS AND EXTEND WARRANTY TIL WINDSTAR IS PAID FOR IN 2005.
