NHTSA Complaint #10393043 — 2003 FORD WINDSTAR

TRANSMISSION REVERSE FAILURE. I NOW HAVE NO REVERSE. COST TO REBUILD IS $2,200.00 FROM DURABILD TRANSMISSION. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THE TRANSMISSION FOR I DO NOT HAVE THE CASH TO REPAIR IT AND HOPING THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART ALSO, SINCE THERE IS 5 OTHER RECALLS ON THE 2003 FORD WINDSTAR MINI-VAN. SINCE THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE, I'M USING IT CURRENTLY WITH NO REVERSE. I HAVE FOUND OVER 100 OTHER TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR LOCATED AT THIS LINK... HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/WINDSTAR/2003/TRANSMISSION/TRANSMISSION_FAILURE.SHTML I HAVE FOUND ON-LINE THAT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED WITH PREVIOUS WINDSTAR MODEL YEARS AND SEEM TO BE STILL HAPPENING EVEN THOUGH CORRECTIONS WERE ATTEMPTED. BELOW IS A LINK TO WIKIPEDIA AND TRANNY PROBLEMS CAN BE FOUND LISTED UNDER PROBLEMS... HTTP://EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG/WIKI/FORD_WINDSTAR I CURRENTLY HAVE MADE A RECALLS APPOINTMENT FOR THIS COMING THURS. WITH A FORD DEALER. I BELIEVE THESE WINDSTARS WERE LEMONS AND GLAD FORD DOES NOT BUILD MINI-VANS ANY MORE. I WILL NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR
