Description of the problem | I have had a continuing stream of endless repairs to this ford windstar. Staring with the water pump one week after purchase; then the left front spring and strut collasped; next the abs system almost cost me my life by failing on a downgrade into an intersection; a compoent of the fuel injection system in the main computer failed; the rear master cylinder on the brakes was leaking; the transmission has never shifted correctly almost giving passengers whiplash; the rear power door lock on the tailgate has just never worked form day one; i did receive a recall for the hood and that was replaced; now the power windows operate without the key in the ignition, but the door locks do not work and the vehicle is totally diabled, it will not start or even try to turn over. I am just a nurse not a millionaire, i have paid almost $5,000. 00 in repairs into this vehicle in the 2 1/2 years i have owned it. And now it is dead, leaving me with no transportation to work, my only source of income. Please help. |
