I own a 1996 ford windstar gl... It has been nothing but a headache.
The engine has seized up need replaced for over 4 grand... No help from FORD..
Now the transmission is gone. It went while I transported my children 20 miles from my home where i knew no one. It felt like someone stomped my brakes and couldn't be driven over 35 mph.
In my search for help I called ford said they couldn't do anything but I NEEDED to take to a ford delarship. Huh. Why so ford can soak me for MORE money than they already have.in my search Ive found over a thousand more ford windstars same year with the exact same problem. I reported to NHSTA for investigation. Gee the ford commercial with MR. BILL FORD how wonderful if he really cared about the consumer he'd do something to fix these windstars before he gets a serious situation of casualties from the faulty engines and transmissions.
In my experience with ford, I will NEVER buy another and preach to all that consider buying FORDS as Ford does NOT take care of their consumers.
