Consumer Description

MY WINDSTAR RECENT ENGINE FAILURE WAS PRECEEDED BY THE "CHECK ENGINE" WARNING INDICATOR COMING ON AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO INVESTIGATE. UPON OPENING THE HOOD I WAS IMMEDIATELY EXPOSED TO A DOUSING OF BOTH BOILING WATER & STEAM ESCAPING FROM THE RADIATOR OVERFLOW RESERVOIR WHICH OVERFLOWED ITSELF FROM THE HEAD GASKET MALFUNCTION. I RECEIVED PAINFUL BURNS ON BOTH MY HANDS AND FACE. *AK
