| 1998 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE | WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WITH COOLER WEATHER CONDITIONS THE ENGINE NEARLY STALLS OUT WHEN STOPPING. THIS AFFECTS THE POWER BRAKES AND THE POWER STEERING MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. COMPLAINTS TO DEALERS AND FORD CUSTOMER CARE HAVE NOT RESOLVED THIS ISSUE. PROBLEM DEVELOPED AFTER INSTALLING A REBUILT TRANSMISSION AT 30,000 MILES. FORD CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AFTER AT LEAST FOUR TRIPS TO THE SHOP. THIS VEHICLE COULD HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED UNDER THE LEMMON LAW AND REPLACED BUT WAS NOT.*AK |
| 2003 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | ABS LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENT. BEING STATION IN EUROPE, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE MY AUTOMOBILE 100% WITH THE AUTOBAHNS. MY WINDSTAR IS A 2003 WITH ONLY 60,000 MILES. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION WENT COMPLETELY OUT. WHILE DRIVING IT LOST ALL FORWARD GEARS AND REVERSE. I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. THIS HAPPEN FEB 2009. *TR |
