1999 Ford Windstar SE review from North America
"The windstar se is an excellent and dependable van"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I love my Ford Windstar SE! It is a 2000 and it has been great for me and my family. The only issue we have had with it was the transmission which we had to have rebuilt. I think it was worth the money. The van is great on gas and there are no leaks, no electrical issues or anything like that. I would definitely buy another one. I am a ford fan anyway. I feel bad for everybody that has had so many issues with their windstars. My husband is a mechanic so we make sure that the van is maintained properly. The transmission deal was a freak thing that just happened.
I would absolutely love to get another windstar when we decide to trade this one in. All of my air conditioning things work and there haven't been any computer or cluster issues with it either. This van has been the best vehicle that my husband and I have ever owned and we've had several different types of cars and trucks. The windstar is roomy and comfortable as well. It does excellent on long road trips too. I love the windstar se!
General comments?
My windstar has been very dependable. When other vehicles are down I can get in my van and just go with no problems at all.
I love the reclining seats. My interior is cloth and it is in excellent shape. No tares or anything. It is a very reliable van and I am extremely happy with it.
