Consumer Description

ON 3/26/99 THE HEAD GASKET WENT OUT ON MY 1995 FORD WINDSTAR. ALTHOUGH NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED, THIS CREATED AN UNSAFE SITUATION SINCE I WAS TRAVELING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE 494 IN INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, MN AND HAD TO SUDDENLY PULL OF THE ROAD. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE HAPPENDED ON 6/14/99. AGAIN I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE 494, THIS TIME IN OAKDALE, MN, WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO BLOW APART. AGAIN, NO ACCIDENT OCCURED, BUT I WAS PLACED IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION BECAUSE I HAD TO TRAVEL AT A SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED SPEED ON TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE I ARRIVED THERE AND THEY HAD A CHANCE TO CHECK THE ENGINE, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS SHOT AN WOULD REQUIRE A "LONG BLOCK" REPLACEMENT. *AK
