Description of the problem | I asked the seller at ford to completely service the van before i would buy it. He said his mechanic would. I checked the van out two weeks later, low on oil, no brake fluid, trans fluid very low, no water hardly at all in receiver, then the starter went out, replaced it no good, replaced switch, no good, brakes gone out, can't keep fluid in systems, engine light came on, emission problems, mechanic stalls for the hour amount, and still can't fix/test ii code. Inside lights dim when extra. Lights come on. It's a damn piece of junk and they sold us a lemon. I paid over $4,000. 00 cash for it, and all they wanted to so was sell it for money. What can i do? It has 72,000 etc mile and now has 82,000. We are both disabled with two kids. We have been screwed. I can get the ford info on the ford windstar 95 3. 8 it rattles, water runs out of the exhaust pipe and the converter. I want to sue them, i calld them and they said the hell with you, you bought it as it was. Ford products are the worst auto's on the market. We want revenge and all our money back now.

Ford needs to stand behind it's products or get out of the bussiness. I have had my kids tossed to the dash when i step on the brakes before we even get out of our drive way. We wear seatbelts, i wouldn't dare ride in it. It is a death trap tp me.*ak |
