Several mechanics have reported to us problems with the head gaskets. Even ron rittenhouse the owner of parnell said he is aware of head gasket problems and other local mechanic's. if this is a known problem why hasn't someone contacted us to our request through parnell. We had to pay $604 and have it redone twice before the van was driveable again. Please reply. Is this a possible recall? we question if this was caused in part by the fan motor that was recalled.
