1994 Ford Windstar from North America
Summary:
Not worth a second look
Faults:
My 1994 Ford Windstar has has a never ending series of repairs. The head gasket seal needed replacement at 30,000 miles. It has been through at least 5 sets of breaks, which still rattle and needlessly trigger the dashboard warning lights. The gasket on the sliding door has been replaced, but continues to leak. In addition, there have been not less than four major recalls: electric wiring; head gasket; break lines and fuel tank.
General Comments:
My 1994 Windstar is not reliable; it runs great for a few weeks and then seriously misbehaves, especially under highway conditions. The engine misses at high speeds and there is a very sluggish shifting pattern.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

There is some humor to this review; he loves everything "except"... All the positives are conditional based upon problems. Do you really expect a newer van to have these types of issues? I believe the expectations of the American vans are less than the foreign built vans. You are lucky with the transmission--my '95 Windstar blew one at 36,011 miles and my new one shifts roughly, like the '95 did.
