Consumer Description

MY 1995 WINDSTAR HAS HAD PROBLEMS SINCE DAY 1. PAINT JOB HAD TO BE REPAIRED; WINDSHIELD HAD CRACK..REPLACED; SLIDING DOOR WAS LEAKING AND HAD TO BE ADJUSTED 3 TIMES; HEAD GASKET FAILURE; TIMING GASKET FAILURE; WHEEL BUSHING FAILURE; INTERIOR PARTS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY; ABS LIGHT/ELECT SYSTEM FAILURE (2X); I FEEL SO BAD ABOUT THIS THING I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. FORD DOESN'T CARE. I CAN'T SELL THIS THING WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE....BUT FORD DID. CAN YOU HELP US!!!! THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHERS LIKE ME. I AM VERY CONCERNED THE TRANNY WILL GO NEXT AS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY SO MANY OTHER WINDSTAR OWNERS WHEN THEY REACH THE 60-75000 MILE RANGE. IN ADDITION, THE TIMING COVER GASKET COSTS APPROXIMATELY $850 TO FIX. I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR BUT NEITHER FORD OR MY DEALER WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. MECHANICS I HAVE SPOKE WITH SAID TO TALK WITH THE DEALER...THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE. I BELIEVE IT WAS HAPPENING SINCE DAY ONE INTERMITTANTLY. (I HAVE ALWAYS HAD ANTIFREEZE LEAKING ON MY GARAGE FLOOR SINCE DAY 1. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS "LOOSE FITTINGS". SO NOW I AM STUCK WITH IT. HELP US!!!
