Second time around on Head gasket problem. Current engine only has 33000.
I am frustrated with Ford and the way they are handling the '96 Windstar head gasket problem. I am currently on the second time around with this problem. I had my engine replace in Feb 2000. Same type of problems where occurring, engine running very ruff and the check engine light was blinking on and off.
I am sorry to hear that I am not the only one out there with this problem. I am currently deciding if there is enough people in the state Michigan to start a class action law suit against Ford, for the '96 Windstar's with the 3.8L engines. If you have gone through this without any assistance from Ford - please contact me at bljextra@yahoo.com. If there is enough of us out there - maybe we could make Ford listen to us and help us out.
If anybody has head gasket problems and wants something done about it they should write to Chairman William Clay Ford, Ford Motor Co. The American Road, Dearborn, MI 48121 and demand that it be covered. This is how the owners of the 95 and older cars with the 3.8 liter engines had their repairs either covered or reimbursed. If enough people write to this address the warranty will probably be extended. It was extended to 7 years and 100,000 for the years 1995 and older.
