2000 Ford Windstar SE review from North America
"You get what you pay for!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wheel bearings went at 201,000 kms.
Lever to change gears gets stuck all the time since I had it, I sometimes have to take 3 minutes to put the car in drive from park.
Air conditioning stays on even though it's turned off.
General comments?
Overall the van has done me no real harm as of yet. After reading the reviews on here, I had to go to the boys room about 3 times out of fear of reading some horror stories.
I bought the van really cheap from a dealer, and even though it had an engine light on, it never gave me any serious problems other than a couple wheel bearings...
One thing I was disappointed in is there are no cup holders.
