Computer codes indicate a head gasket failure
- Little Ferry, NJ, USA
I am reporting this problem due to the fact that Ford motor fails to admit there is a problem. I have spoken to many garages in the cincinnati area and they have had to replace many head gaskets. The mechanics at castrucci Ford said they have repaired two Windstar and were working on the third. This problem could cause catastophic engine failure and possibly result in an accident!!!! I feel that Ford should recall these vehicles.
