1995 Ford Windstar LX 3.8L V6 from North America
Summary:
A great family vehicle with outstanding performance
Faults:
The Usual problematic interior lights and door contacts.
Water pump failed, the second was installed incorrectly by the service department, this caused problems with the serpentine belt.
Idler pulley installed backwards, causing another problem with the serpentine belt.
General Comments:
This van has always been comfortable and my opinion is that the van does not owe me a cent. It went 380 thousand before a major problem occurred with the heads causing me to sell.
All other items such as suspension maintenance issues were because of high mileage.
The mileage is a testament to its reliability.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Keep an eye on this van's two known weaknesses, your tranny and headgasket. Don't "rally" it (drive the van real hard, that is), and it should last you awhile. Most people who have problems with their Windstar is either from lack of maintenance, the way they drive it, or both.
