Consumer Description

BLOWN HEAD GASKET OCCURRED AT STOP SIGN, HUGE PLUME OF WHITE SMOKE. LUCKILY, THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY AND CAUSED A CRASH/FATALITY. FORD KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE HEAD GASKET PER THEIR SERVICE PROGRAM 99M01. PEOPLE CAN AND WILL GET HURT BY THE VEHICLES THAT WERE NOT REPAIRED BY THIS PROGRAM THAT EXPIRED 12/98. MY WIFE SAID THE PLUME OF SMOKE WAS HUGE, IT COULD BLOCK THE VIEW OF DRIVERS BEHIND A VEHICLE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM ALONG WITH CAUSING THE SUDDEN STOPPAGE OF THE VEHICLE THAT HAS ITS ENGINE SEIZED UP AS A RESULT OF A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. PLEASE REFER TO THE WEB SITE OF HTTP://WWW.PRIMECUTSOFBLUEGRASS.COM/WINDSTAR2.HTM FOR A LIST OF OTHER VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, AND BE SURE TO KNOW THAT THIS LIST WAS JUST STARTED THIS MONTH ON 3/13/99. 24 VEHICLES IN 17 DAYS, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. AND THIS IS JUST A LIST OF THE 95 WINDSTARS, THE FORD 'PROGRAM' COVERS 94 & 95 TAURUS AND SABLE OWNERS ALSO. *AK
