Consumer Description

I JUST WANTED TO FIND OUT ABOUT A PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING WITH MY 1995 FORD WINDSTAR. I HAD IT IN MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP FOR HAVE THE OIL CHANGED WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE HAD GONE CRAZY THAT MORNING. WE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT AND THE RADIATOR CAP THINKING THAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT MORNING IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING SO I CONTACTED THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY GOT TO LOOKING AND FIGURED OUT THAT THE HEAD GASKET HAD BROKEN. I HAVE MY CAR IN THE SHOP GETTING THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF. I FILL THAT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE I HAVE FOUND OUT JUST TODAY THAT THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL OF THESE VANS HEADGASKETS REPLACED FOR THE SAME REASON. I KNOW THAT THE TAURUS & MUSTANG HAD A RECALL ON THESE GASKETS AND THAT THEY ARE THE SAME ENGINE THAT I HAVE IN MY WINDSTAR (JUST TURNED SIDEWAYS). IF YOU WOULD PLEASE JUST LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO THAT WILL KEEP SOMEONE ELSE FROM GETTING STUCK WITH A REPAIR BILL LIKE I AM ABOUT TO.
