1995 Ford Windstar GL review from North America
"The most unreliable and most expensive van on the road!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In the Summer of 2000, the engine went.
In December of 2000, the 1st transmission went. In New Jersey USA.
In July of 2001, the lighter unit came out, now does not work at all.
In July of 2001, the clips that hold back the vent buttons into the whole system snapped (now we use a screw driver so we can properly open and close the vents).
In August of 2001, the 2nd transmission went. While turning the corner coming home from a week end at the cottage.
Power steering unit is going.
Automatic braking system now makes noises every time you engage the brakes.
Ever since we have owned the van, our rear wiper blade motor has not worked and our tape deck hasn't worked either.
General comments?
1995 Ford Windstars are crap!!!
Seats are comfortable though, haven't had any problems with the doors, windows or heater and A/C units. The van handles great (when it is actually road safe!!!)
