1996 Ford Windstar GL review from North America
"Good if they had made it right"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew.
General comments?
Was told by Ford headquarters that the problems from the 95s had been fixed on the 96 and that is why they do not cover it, I wish they would have told my van.
I have not received any help from the dealership when they deny even having a Ford representative to be able to contact, yet they are fully aware of the head gasket problem.
