1997 Ford Windstar LX review from North America
"The largest automobile manufacturer in the world, and this is how they treat their customers!?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The interior dome light will intermittently stay on after the door is closed. Door sensors have all been replaced. Some replaced multiple times in the 2 years I've owned the vehicle.
The "door ajar" chime has recently started to accompany the dome light.
Speedometer jumps wildly above 50 MPH.
General comments?
Dealership has "never heard of these problems" before. My neighbor brought his 1996 Windstar to the same dealership for the same problems / repairs!!
This car is not worth anything! Do not buy one!
I've been a loyal Ford customer for over 30 years, but never again.
