I brought this van used. I trusted Ford to have good quality used vehicles. I had purchased a brand new Mitsubishi Mirage and it was totaled and I feared buying a new vehicle. I never had a days problem with my Mirage.
The first day out in the Wind star, the check engine light came on. A hose needed to be replaced.
The following week, the windows in the back wouldn't open. New motors were put in.
A month later, the fuel pump system had to be replaced at a cost of over $500.00.
Transmission needed repairs.
Check engine light constantly on and off, no problem can be found.
The van is a nice size and very comfortable, but the problems make it a piece of junk. Ford should be ashamed to make a family vehicle like this and claim it's reliable and safe.
I would never buy another Ford vehicle again and as soon as I finish paying off this vehicle it's gone. I'll stick with foreign cars.
Dear Steven If you like foreign cars so well why don't you just move there and get a bicycle like the rest of them and then all will be well. That car was built by Americans and if you bought a lemon oh well the foreign guys make those real well to. your just putting money into the communists pockets and don't even know it. I hope your happy.
