1998 Ford Windstar GL review from North America
"200HP baby in a minivan!!! Love to push the gas and go where (and when) I need it to.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Noticed there was a rip in the vinyl on the driver left side seat, looks like from repeated in and out.
General comments?
After having this vehicle for such a small time and looking for reasons it should fail, haven't seen any of the problems that most of the people have stated yet. and I have twice as many miles so far on it when I bought it. I have a 3 year warranty on this vehicle so it is covered on engine and drivetrain issues.
There hasn't been any lighting problems, sensor problems, shaking noises, odometer issues.
This vehicle is in immaculate shape for the year and (Make) mileage that it has.
All the bells and whistles work so far and are quite neat. This however is my first vehicle with ABS and Air bags so I am kind of leery with the new technology, but if I have the luck as one of the people that did one of these surveys I welcome ford!!!
And just to make a comment my Dodge Caravan only had 120,000 when it died goodness where to start with it!!!
Thanks FORD!!! I think with the Windstar you have given us a F.O.R.D.
"Finally Offered Real Deal!!!"
