Faults:

I bought this only because I was on a very tight budget. I paid 2300.00 for it in September of last year.

4 days after I bought it, all 4 tires blew. 3 weeks later the alternator went, then the pulley holding the serpentine belt went (the belt needed to be replaced as well).

A few weeks later, the sway bar literally fell off. Both stabilizer links were rotted off (how that passed the safety, I'll never know).

After I'd had it 3 months, the alternator went again.

Now that I've owned this horrible piece of crap for 6 months, the head gasket has gone.

I've dumped far too much money into it. I should never have bought it in the first place. Ford, your products are cheaply made and inferior to every other car manufacturer in the world. I will never buy Ford again. I won't even sit in one for fear of it breaking. No wonder none of my family or friends own Fords.

General Comments:

Stay away, Windstars are absolute garbage.

Faults:

Fuel pump quit at 60,000 miles.

I had the engine mounts replaced at 89,000 miles.

Had the brake line replaced.

Had to replace the passenger side door mirror, because it got clipped when I had the van parked on a small street.

General Comments:

I like my Windstar. It has incredible comfort, nice style, a powerful engine, and it gets good gas mileage for a mini van.

The handling seems funny when I'm doing over 65 mph; feels like I'm gonna lose control.

I keep my Windstar serviced, take it to get washed, waxed etc.

It still has a lot of life left in it.

Faults:

Windshield wipers randomly stopped working.

Head gasket failed at 91,000 miles.

Head gasket failed again at 115,000 miles.

It would stall when I came to a stop sign or stop light.

The cup holders are cheaply made.

The emergency brake randomly stopped working.

Sometimes the engine would overheat in the WINTER.

The door chime never worked.

General Comments:

Weak turning radius, braking was terrible, and it lacked interior styling.

Faults:

Had problems with the dome light situation.

Now having problems with the taillight headlight.

General Comments:

I fixed the dome light situation with wd40. I kept a can in the van for about 6 months spraying all the sensors on every door every time it acted up... It took a while, but eventually it stopped staying on. Cross my fingers, it has a rough ride and the belts whine occasionally.

The side door rattles.

I have only changed the battery and oil in it for 5 years knock on wood.

I am having terrible trouble with the headlights and taillights... changed headlight switch, did not work.. now working on wiring, wish me luck..

The van has been down for 5 days now with the dash out. HELP!!!
