| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I had my intake gaskets replace in feb 2005 to avoid any engine problems; i just threw a rod on 9/7/05 in my 2001 ford windstar with only 80000 miles on it. i was told that i would have to replace the engine at the cost of $4000. i just checked the blue book value - it's only $9000. i'm in an upside down situation because i still owe on the car! i've read all over the internet about preventing this problem - and not changing the intake gaskets (which should be a manufacturer recall or at least send a notice!) should help keep the engine running smooth. this wasn't true in my case!*jb |
