Description of the problem | I own a 1995 ford windstar the paint is blistering off in huge pieces. Ford says it is not their problem , paint should not peal from a car like this it is blistering off in sheets . I have read that ford is paying for painting only if the customers are really loud about complaints. I have also read that many complaints have already been sent here. This automobile has been a nightmare with defects and recalls. Anyone in the automotive business laughs when they here what kind of car i own. 10 years to pay it off, 3 head gaskets later rebuilt trans engine heads warped from factory coils springs breaking electrical malfunctions , paint lifting off the vertical sides, brake problems.... The list goes on and now ford no longer lists the windstar on their site. They have changed the name to free star i wonder why? |
