1996 Ford Windstar GL review from North America
"Very good, but pay close attention to it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought my 1996 Windstar brand new. I have used top of the line products on it and have never had any major problems. My transmission gives a problem, it slips into a different gear when not needed too. Hard shifting in to gears. And now my head gasket has gone. I will never ever buy another FORD product. With all these reviews I think Ford should consider having another recall for these Windstar's gaskets.
General comments?
This van is fast for a V6. It has 200hp which is lots for a minivan.
The seats are good and the ride is soft.
It is a really good van except for the transmission, brakes, and gasket, which is a big problem.
