Well you are one of the lucky ones although you have a 2003 models which is the last model of the windstar meaning that most of the bugs have been fixed due to problems with the 95-2002 windstar. I dont believe that only a few of us on this forum have had problems with this van, if you search the internet the majority of windstar owners have had problems and not minor ones. There have been many lawsuits against ford for this POS 3.8 liter engine which was also in the Taurus and nothing but troubles with that car too. Even if people have a van over 10 years old and over 100 000miles there shouldn't be problems as severe as the ones with the windstar. I have a 1997 camry with 386 000km and no problems I also had a 89 aerostar with 487 000km on it and no problems. I also have taken very good care of my windstar and maintained it impecably, I didnt even maintain my other cars as I have with the shitstar. But I have spent a F_ck load of money on this van with no prevail. I dont believe the majority of owners crying about the windstar, we are F_cken pissed with Ford and how they have handled everything dealing with the windstar and their mechanics not knowing how to even fix the problems. The tranny in the windstar is garbage, i have gone through 8 and the first at 14, 000 km then at 20 000km and so on. Ford makes it money off of these damn problems and charges s_it loads of money to fix it. Have you ever tried working on this 3.8 liter engine there is no f_cken room to work. It is designed like a POS. For God sakes my sliding doors stick out 1 inch and Ford says thats how it is supposed to be. I cant wait until your bloody windstar starts having problems so we can see who is crying then. I dont see your point on coming to this forum to criticize us that we are crying about a vehicle that has been noted by all the automotive journalists and customers that this vehicle is a piece of crap.
