While driving one of firestone's tires blewout. Consumer changed tire. Soon after, replaced tire also blewout. Consumer took vehicle to shop, and once vehicle was checked, they were told that a third tire was about to blowout. Due to tires blowing out there must hav ebeen some damage to vehicle. Contacted firestone, and they were told that since tires were not under recall, then there was not nothing they could do.
Tire blowout - advised by tire manufacturer (big 0 tires) that the reason the tire blewout was due to a weld that failed in the steel rim which in turn defalted the tire to a point to create a blowout. Contacted ford and they confirmed that they have experienced problems with the steel rim weld failing on other windstar vans.

Steering problems no one can find a problem, but I keep replacing tire prematurly. I paid for the tramsmission $1500. Now the van is in the shop at sam galloway ford for a head gasket.

They called after looking at it and said $1700 to repair the gasket and others problems caused by the leaking head gasket. Recall states 60k 0r dec 31 2000 wich ever comes first.
