General Comments:
Seems 120,000 miles is it for this Windstar.
Except for this last month I'd say I've been very happy with this van.
The Windstars 3.8L leaves my 3.2L DOHC Rodeo in the dust.
Large interior that's comfortable and roomy.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Transmission went out at 28,000 miles, but over on time, thus no warranty. Gate valve on heater and air broken, impossible for a normal human being to repair. Master cylinder level switch out, takes out cruise control. And the list goes on.
No wonder Ford is going belly up, I'll never have another one!!!
