1995 Ford Windstar review from North America
"Will seek out another Company"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought the vehicle in 99 from the Ford dealership in Barrie, Ontario used. Have family of six. Can't afford new vans. Have to rely on used vehicle two to three years old.
Found out about a month later the front axel was cracked so the vehicle was sold to us in this manner.
I assumed the dealer did a full inspection of the vehicle before they sold to a customer. I guess not. Cost was $1800.00.
Tires were not new, 60% worn. Same thing on the aerostar. Not a happy camper. (500.00 for tires)
Since then eventhough we kept up on the usual maintaince to include, exaust, tie rods, shocks, the transmission went. Replacement cost 3100.00. O2 Sensor changed twice same year different locations. (400.00) Definitely not a happy camper.
Inside the vehicle plastic is coming away from the windows. Rain coming in.
Sorry guys no more money to give you.
Its my last Ford.
P Smith.
General comments?
Ford is a comfortable vehicle however there is a lot to be desired for reliability and cost effectiveness.
