I purchased a brand new 1999 Ford Windstar from Cam Clark Ford and it still looks brand new in and out and I take care of every one of my vehicles. This van has only ever had synthetic oil in it and have used the best parts available to keep it running. I have only ever taken it to Ford dealerships to have it serviced. I dont think the transmission is supposed to be serviced at 14, 000km do you???? I dont think so, then at 20 000km after new tranny and fluid it blows again, I dont think that is supposed to happen either. This van has had every problem imaginable and I am not the only one if you google up windstar problems what do you get........the exact same problems as mine. Ford has gone down the drain and they bring out the ugliest car to save them, the Fusion. Read arcticles from respectable auto writers they all say the windstar is crap buy a toyota or honda instead. I suppose you have come to this forum to provide some insight on how to fix the van. Well tell me how to stop the rear passenger doors from squeeking all the time, how do you fix the misaligned doors that is apparent on all the 1999 ever made, tell me how to fix the vibrations in my 8th transmission at 60km/h and goes away when OD is off and then starts vibrating again when it has OD off. Lets hear your insight into this. Since we are all crying about our "MINOR" problems lets see if you are here to actually tell people hwo to fix them or just to gloat about the fact that we are all crying here. We have all spent a fortune buying these vans and then spending even more to fix them. We all have the right to post our problems without someone coming here to argue that we are all crying about these problems. You have a 2003 model if you had any other model year you would be having tons of problems. |
