1997 Ford Windstar LX review from North America
"A big piece of JUNK"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light is on more that it is off.
Valve cover gasket at 37,000
ABS Brakes at 60,000
Brake Master Cylnder 65,000
Intake Manifold Gasket 70,000
Speedometer jumps around.
General comments?
I got this beacuse my uncle works at Ford and was able to get me a good discount, that discount has long since been sucked up in repair cost.
We are selling this POS before anything more can go wrong with it.
We are not a Honda/Mazda/Toyota family for the rest of my life.
