Description of the problem | In researching defect found in the ford winstar, i have found numerous complaints by other owners about transmission failure. I have spoken with my local ford dealer about this problem and he has acknowledged numerous (more than normal) failures in this model. Transmission failure is a safety related issue as the vehicle failed during driving on a busy interstate and had to be quickly driven off the freeway under limited power across several lanes of traffic. |
