There have been so many annoying problems with this van!
Let's start with the door locks. Sometimes they work sometimes they don't! The passenger sliding door does not activate the overhead light to come on, nor does it unlock on the first try.
The driver side door doesn't lock, or unlock with key-less entry. However, it only costs $179 to fix this problem!
The air intake gaskets have been replaced twice at $330 each time.
Finally, this week the transmission light and engine light came on simultaneously to reveal that the torque converter in the transmission is not building enough pressure. This repair is made by replacing the transmission at 88K miles. A $2300 repair.
We've also had a clicking noise when we don't use "premium" gas. This problem was fixed by adjusting the electronic timing, but was annoying and expensive.
We are, over all, dissatisfied with this van. We still owe $6000 on it and are sad to say it's the first car we've bought that had major problems before it was paid off.
We are not pleased with the quality of this model.
We also have a 2000 windstar. I agree the door locks suck. But we are too cheap to get it fixed. We also have a 95 windstar, and it doesn't have keyless entry anyway, so we are used to it. I must say though, this is a major step up from our 1990 Plymouth Voyager.
