Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 FORD WINDSTAR AND I HAD TO TAKE IT TO BE SERVICED BECAUSE THE INTAKE GASKETS AND ISOLATOR BOLTS HAVE WORN OUT DUE TO TIME. AS A RESULT THE CAR SOMETIMES TREMBLES IN PARKING MODE AND IDLES AND STALLS WHEN THE CAR STOPS AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I DID FIND IT SUSPICIOUS THAT THESE PARTS HAVE WORN OUT AFTER ONLY SIX YEARS OF USE, (LESS THAN THE COMMON 10 YEAR LIFESPAN OF A CAR). ACCORDING TO THE FORD SERVICE COUNSELOR THIS PROBLEM HAS LATELY BECOME MORE FREQUENT WITH THIS CAR MODEL. *JB
