Description of the problem | We have experienced two engine failures on this vehicle, one in november, 1999, which ford denied responsibility for, even though we were told by no less than 10 mechanics it was a defective design, and then another failure in july, 2000. Also in 2000, we reported problems with the transmission slipping and the vehicle jumping out of gear when in park. Again, ford is denying any responsibility, though we have noted numerous cases of the same problem that other windstar owners have experienced. *ak |
