I asked the seller at ford to completely service the van before I would buy it. He said his mechanic would. I checked the van out two weeks later, low on oil, no brake fluid, trans fluid very low, no water hardly at all in receiver, then the starter went out, replaced it no good, replaced switch, no good, brakes gone out, can't keep fluid in systems, engine light came on, emission problems, mechanic stalls for the hour amount, and still can't fix/test ii code. Inside lights dim when extra. Lights come on. It's a [xxx] piece of junk and they sold us a lemon. I paid over $4,000.00 cash for it, and all they wanted to so was sell it for money. What can I do? It has 72,000 etc mile and now has 82,000. We are both disabled with two kids. We have been screwed. I can get the ford info on the ford windstar 95 3.8 it rattles, water runs out of the exhaust pipe and the converter. I want to sue them, I called them and they said the hell with you, you bought it as it was. Ford products are the worst auto's on the market. We want revenge and all our money back now. [xxx]. What is next a head gasket? I heard that cost over $1,600.00 to fix. And there are alot of them going out. Ford needs to stand behind it's products or get out of the business. I have had my kids tossed to the dash when I step on the brakes before we even get out of our drive way. We wear seatbelts, I wouldn't dare ride in it. It is a death trap to me.*ak information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Most headlight lenses 5 years or older are turning yellow because of uxrays and oxidation. Because of the materials there are made of the amount of lums able to pass through are reduced by many factors. Manufactures replacement costs should be controlled because of the materials used. Thther more these units which house the lamps can cost in the hyndreds of dollars. Many vehicles are traveling the roads with bad lenses because of the huge costs for the product. All these manufactures, charge 10+ time the costs of manufacture; they have jacked up the price so that they can make more monies for replacements. These replacements parts sold are usery. I bet many acidents are created because of poor light emeting from these units. Their are several materials available to these product producers. I suggest they go back to glass, or make the outer covers replacable buy the owner at good product cost.

Headlamps are made of plastic. The plastic has deteriorated over the years from clear to brown. Moisture also builds up inside the lamps. Visibility has been drastically reduce especially on a rainy night. Ford should have to replace the lamps on this model. My other car is a 1993 model and the headlamps are still crystal clear and I can see perfectly at night. Ts
