1996 Ford Windstar review from North America
"Lemon! Big Lemon!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The speedometer head needs replacing after only 4 years. Of course the van is out of warranty and of course the crappy extended warranty doesn't cover it. The repair is over $500.00, and when I was in the shop asking why it was so much another Windstar customer pulled me aside and said, "Don't bother I'm on my THIRD ONE!".
The junk yards have no speedometer heads because it is such a problem with these vans. I was also told that it was a major problem with the Ford Taurus. Ford is still up to it's old tricks and crap. I will NEVER buy another Ford again. I will for the rest of my LIFE bad mouthing Ford and their crappy service. I hate the company and will not buy anything from them ever again.
General comments?
FORD STINKS!
