| 1995 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | I RECEIVED A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM FORD IN 1998 WHICH STATED THAT: IF THERE WERE PROBLEMS WHERE THE ENGINE HEAD GASKETS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE 60,000 MILES, THAT FORD WOULD COVER THE COST OF THIS REPAIR. THEY HAVE DECLINED TO DO SO BECAUSE THE SERVICE BULLETIN "EXPIRED" ON 12/31/1998. MY POINT: I AM STILL UNDER THE MILEAGE LIMIT AND THE REPAIR COST SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. THE ENGINE DESIGN IS FAULTY, DOES THE PROBLEM JUST DISAPPEAR BECAUSE IT OCCURED AFTER 1998? THE TIME LIMIT ON THIS SERVICE BULLETIN IS A BOGUS COP-OUT. *AK |
| 2001 | STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS | I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2001 FORD WINDSTAR. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE REAR AXLE SNAPPED, WHICH RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH A VEHICLE IN THE NEXT LANE. *TR |
