1999 Ford Windstar LX review from North America
"Again_ I will never buy a Ford again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We have had to replace inner and outer tie rods twice, transmission 4 times, power steering, 3 sets of brakes, and are now on our second go at the infamous code 171/174 intake manifold replacements at $1000 a pop. Of course the has been a TSB on this since it seems to happen to ALL Windstars between 98-2001 or so, but no recall. Also had to have rear wiper motor replaced twice, and one SEATBELT replaced! Peeling paint on front hood makes the car look even better!
General comments?
I will never buy a Ford again.
