1996 Ford Windstar GL review from North America
"Low cost, comfortable, but has severe issues"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The speedometer has broken.
The driverside door chimes and the lights stay on.
The transmission slips.
It temp of the van runs very high.
General comments?
The van is very safe for a family while driving. It is comfortable, but Ford needs to fix these common problems with their windstars before I'd buy another one.
