NHTSA Complaint #734074 — 1995 FORD WINDSTAR

I HAD THE HEAD GASKET FIXED UNDER THE FORD RECALL; ONE WEEK LATER THE ENGINE THREW A ROD, AND IT REQUIRED A NEW LONG BLOCK AND ASSORTED PARTS. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR 5 WEEKS, AND NEVER EXPLAINED WETHER IT WAS A DEFECTIVE ENGINE OR A MHUMAN FAILURE. IT THEN, ONE WEEK LATER, STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, WITH THE CAR SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR ON THE FREEWAY AT 60MPH. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, ONLY TO BE TOLD IT WASNT THEIR FAULT, AND THE REPAIRS WOULD BE AT MY EXPENSE, YET THIS WASNT HAPPENING BEFORE THEY TOOK MY CAR APART. I STILL HAVE THE CAR, DRIVING IT ONLY AS ABSOLUTLE NECESSARY; I CANT AFFORD THE REPAIRS AND DONT FEEL IM RESPONSIBLE. THIS PARTICULAR MODEL HAS A TERRIBLE TRACK RECORD FOR DEFECTS.
