1995 Ford Windstar LX review from North America
"Barely sufficient"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Normal things like struts and brakes, however the worst problems I have is the constant ringing of the bell for the door ajar and the inability of the interior lights to turn off after turning the car off.
I have a workaround for the light problem - simply remove the fuse and install a switch with one wire to each side of the fuse holder. Then at least you can turn off the interior lights.
My biggest gripe is the darn chime for the door ajar that simply will not quit until you get above 20 mph.
Does anyone know how to fix this one?
General comments?
Comfortable to ride in, but very noisy on the highway. Transmission mishifts occasionally.
Air conditioner is great - much colder than my 99 Grand Prix.
I don't think I will buy another Ford after the problems we ahve had with this one.
