1998 Ford Windstar LS review from North America
"So far, so good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Interior lights go off and on randomly.
Front end makes noises.
General comments?
So far, our Windstar has been reliable.
I worry, though, about taking it in because I feel there may be a lot of potential repairs that could be done at a pretty price, especially with the front end and with the brakes.
For now, it's running and well.
By the way, the interior light problem is solved by scraping the brass sensors on the sliding door with a screwdriver. Fixes it every time.
