1996 Ford Windstar review from North America
"Defective engine!!!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My Windstar was great until last week when the both head gaskets blew. Ford is refusing to pay for repairs even though the engine has a known defect and the 94/95's have an extended warranty to cover the head gaskets.
General comments?
If Ford would make good on the head gaskets, I would say it is a great car. But until then, I have to say the car is a lemon.
