1994 Ford Econoline review from North America
"It's very comfortable van, but it does have its problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some times you have to take your foot off the gas for it to upshift.
Will not downshift for hill climbing, passing or pulling onto freeway.
Sometimes, from a complete stop, it will take off in second.
Sometimes, when you put it in gear it wants to stall the motor.
General comments?
It's a very comfortable van and has a lot of room. Ours is a conversion so it does have a little squeak on it. It also has quite a lot of pep for something that big.
The reason the dealer was rated a 3 because he ripped us off. He said he could get the transmission fixed for us and when we took it to the Ford dealer to get it fixed the transmission worked for about 20 miles, and then it started doing exactly what it did before.
