1998 Ford Windstar Northwood review from North America
"A reliable and cost effective family vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One shock absorber rod broke.
The O2 sensor had to be replaced.
General comments?
I am very pleased with my Ford Windstar. Other than two indicated minor problems, my Windstar has been flawless. As of now, when it comes to replace this minivan, I plan to buy another Windstar.
I also own a 2000 Ford F150 with 43500 miles. My truck has also been flawless also.
I have had both my vehicles serviced by two Ford dealers in the North Dallas area. The service I received from both was excellent.
