After 200 miles brakes failed completely, dealer couldn't find problem. Noticed that brakes fail whenever you drive over a bump while brakes are slightly engaged.....
After 800 miles engine failiure light came on; no compression in 2 cylinders. Head gaskets exchanged.
After 2,000 miles aft. side windows didn't open anymore, motors changed.
After that: running fine until 20,000 miles, returned at lease end.
Very very nice van. The 5-star rating makes you feel safe and the power is great to get onto the highway safely.
But the brake problems as well as the initial quality and engine problems after such a short period of time were disappointing. Car was more in for repairs within the first 2 months than I was actually driving it!
Have found sooo many disappointed customers on the Internet, unlike any other car.
Also, dealership was very disappointing, salesperson disappeared after sale and dealership was sold 1 year later.....
Has anyone had problems with the calibration, or any recalls on the Windstar 97, numbers are 5-56k-r16 and 5-56p-r16, I would appreciate any help I can get, please e-mail at herlindap@aol.com.
Thank you.
