Consumer Description

I HAD MY INTAKE GASKETS REPLACE IN FEB 2005 TO AVOID ANY ENGINE PROBLEMS; I JUST THREW A ROD ON 9/7/05 IN MY 2001 FORD WINDSTAR WITH ONLY 80000 MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT THE COST OF $4000. I JUST CHECKED THE BLUE BOOK VALUE - IT'S ONLY $9000. I'M IN AN UPSIDE DOWN SITUATION BECAUSE I STILL OWE ON THE CAR! I'VE READ ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT PREVENTING THIS PROBLEM - AND NOT CHANGING THE INTAKE GASKETS (WHICH SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURER RECALL OR AT LEAST SEND A NOTICE!) SHOULD HELP KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING SMOOTH. THIS WASN'T TRUE IN MY CASE!*JB
