Consumer Description

I HAVE HEARD ABOUT BLOWN HEAD GASKETS IN FORD WINDSTARS AND SOME INFORMATION ABOUT MUSTANGS, I JUST WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO GET MUSTANGS INVOLVED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ALSO. I RECENTLY TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT HAD COME ON AND I WAS ORIGINALLY TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO FLUSH OUT MY RADIATOR. AFTER THAT, I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE MY WATER PUMP. AFTER THEY HAD REPLACED THAT I ASKED TO SEE IT AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE IT ANYMORE. I WAS THEN CALLED LATER AND TOLD THAT MY HEAD GASKETS WERE BLOWN AND THAT WOULD COST ME AN ADDITIONAL $1500 ON TOP OF THE OTHER $800 THAT I WAS BEING CHARGED FOR. I BEGAN TO DO RESEARCH ON THIS AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I AM. MY CAR IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT. I'M COMPLAINING IN HOPES THAT FORD WILL RECOGNIZE THIS AS A PROBLEM AND REIMBURSE ME FOR FIXING THEIR PROBLEM. *AK
