Engine has been sputtering, flashing overdrive light keeps coming on. Rear passenger front and rear windows won't open, radio console started to get real hot and then went out. Engine continues to sputter as though its skipping a gear, and overdrive light constantly blinking.

I have owned this van since 1999. Since I have owned it we have had nothing but problems with it. I have had the rotors turned, and replaced at least 3 times, and they need it again. I have had the head gasket replaced 3 times and one of them times was at 99,000 miles when it was under the warrenty. It had been replaced at least one time before that. My sliding door won't stay closed, even though I just spent $300 getting a new latched put on. My windows won't work. I had larson motors fix a head gasket and my electronic windows, cost me over $250 for the window, that only worked 2 times. I called, and since they put "may not be the problem" on the invoice, they think that clears them, and they wanted me to spend more money on another part. My speedometor has been replaced once and is broke again. The alternator has been replaced. I could go on and on. I am getting no where with anyone. I have spent around 5,000.00 in repairs, and can't trade the thing off, since I still owe too much on it, due to a tornado that hit our home, and what the insurance didn't cover, the balance was put on our car loan. We don't have the best credit do to having to spend anywhere from $100-300+ a month on repairs to this lemon car. I have a family and need to know that I have a reliable car to drive. I have been stranded with my 3 children a minimum of 4 times this past year.

Door sensor leaves interior dome lights on and the associated relay is hot to the touch. Power window motor inoperative, was working intermittenly up to today. Ignition switch will allow the key to be removed when it shouldn't.

Rear shocks failed at 3000 mi. A/c compressor relay failed summer of 1996 (hasn't work reliably since). Tailgate lock motor failed, pass window motor faled, sliding door elec contacts replaced, head gaskets failed 3 times in 80000 mi. And many other problems that the dealers have fixed under warranty or service bulletins. How much will it take for ford to take responsibility for the 1995 lemon windstar !!!

Transmission went at 70k no help from ford. Head gasket leaking 120k no assistance or help from ford. Window motor do not work no help from ford. Steering problems no one can find a problem, but I keep replacing tire prematurly. I paid for the tramsmission $1500. Now the van is in the shop at sam galloway ford for a head gasket. The only reason I had it towed into sam galloway is because they said there was a recall on the head gasket and they will take care of it . Covered by the recall. They called after looking at it and said $1700 to repair the gasket and others problems caused by the leaking head gasket. Recall states 60k 0r dec 31 2000 wich ever comes first. If they are putting faulty products in their vehicles they are causeing safety concerns and they should be responsible for repairs.

1. Front end looseness from the very beginning to the present tie bars ctc. Replaced without any noticeable improvement. 2 speedometer failure at 45k 3. Power window motor (left front) quit. 3. Transmission failed/ replacement (with only 17k failed.4. Head gasket blew. I find in researching the defects that my experience is quite common but that ford has not take responsibility in some of these areas -especially the failed transmissions,. It is my hope that your org. Can verify these fefects as being worthy of ford compensating the owners who have had to pay for these mfailures of manufacture. Please advise me of the status of your work . Thank you, geary leason.
