Description of the problem | For the past week the vehicel randomly would hesitate during accelleration. Today the transmission would not go in reverse. Called the dealer , they said 36,000 miles was the warrenty limit. I asked if windstar's were having transmission problems. They claimed no. Called several shops and they said they had seen many ford winstar transmission failures and the repair cost could be between $700 to $3000. I checked your site and i see hundres of windsatr transmission failures. I want you to add me to your list and help me to get ford to take care of their poor design and manufacturing. Repairing my vehichle and all others in my situation at no cost is the only right thing to do. I will contact ford consumer affairs in the morning and see what they say. |
