Consumer Description

FORD WINDSTAR 2000 - TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 110,000 AND RUMOR IS THAT FORD KNEW THESE WERE WEAK BUT INSTALLED THEM ANYWAY. POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED THREE TIMES BETWEEN 60,000 AND 100,000. POWER STEERING PISTONS EACH FAILED AROUND 80,000. HEATER/AIR CONDITIONING AIR FLAPPER FAILED - REPLACEMENT WAS $1500 INSTALLED. SLIDING DOOR RELEASE STUCK AT 80,000. THE CAR IS A JUNKSTAR. I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD - THEY BUILD WITH PLASTIC AND LIGHTWEIGHT JUNK AND THEY JUST FAIL - FAIL - FAIL. *TR
