1995 Ford Windstar GL review from North America
"A piece of crap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gaskets replaced at 62,000 miles.
Transmission overhauled at 62,000 (under warranty).
Seal leaking and repaired at 77,000 miles, seal is leaking again at 90,000. Second time repaired Ford paid half, we paid 215.00. This time the repair is estimated to cost 1300.00. We are awaiting to hear from Ford on whether they will pay or not. I was warned by the service manager that Ford would most likely not pay all. I informed him that this has been a problem since back when the car was under warranty and they should be resposible. If they don't pay, I'm sueing for this repair, rental car and the last repair. Would be interested in class action suit.

General comments?
This is my 5th Ford and I have never been treated so bad by a dealership. No one wants to take responsibility for this problem. I will NEVER buy a Ford again!!!
