1995 Ford Windstar transmission complaints
Page 23 of 30: complaints 641 to 670 of 875, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Passenger's side sliding door is unable to be opened on either side of vehicle, and the inside handle came off. Door handle mechanism replaced 3 times by dealer. Also had to have driving gear replaced. *ak
Transmission was not downshifting completely when vehicle came to a stop. Then when the car accelerated, it would suddenly shift into gear, lurching forward. This had high potential for causing an accident, especially if the driver accelerated too quickly.
Transmission was slipping badly. Dealer claims it was a sensor. Just heard on the news ford windstars have major problems with 95 trannys. Government should issue a recall for all 95 windstars and have the transmissions checked.
Transmission was making noise and shifting gears. Dealer contacted and component was defective. Replaced the transmission at owners expense, no warranty.
Transmission went out, and the gears are hard to shift when driving, and the gear would go into neutral. Vehicle has been in the shop for repairs, and they don't know what the problem.
When taking off from a stop the transmission would not accelerate. The transmission was rebuilt by the dealership around the second week of may, 1998. Transmission has since been replaced, owner is looking for admission of the problem by ford and reimbursement of costs. *ak
. Cosumer is having an automatic transmission problem the RPM gets up to about 5 before the gear would change, and when it finaly changes there is a hard jerk in the vehicle. Dealer has not been contacted.
Consumer was having problems with the transmission. It had no pressure, causing the automatic transmission to slam into gear, making a loud clocking noise. Also, the car jerked due to bad engine gaskets. Dealer has been contacted.
Transmission failure, began to slip.
Transmission failures occured over a period of time. The transmission began slipping between 40 and 50,0000 miles, primarily wehn accelerating from a stop or slow rolling condition to driving speeds. Driving habits were altered to insure the slipping condition would not create a hazardous situation, where possible (ie avoiding pulling out onto the travel lanes without having a considerable amount of space)
The defective automatic transmission malfunctioned due to the aluminum piston which broke and caused the vehicle to surge forward or not accelerate properly, may cause an accident. Ford has a new steel design on the piston. Please provide further details.
Transmission clutch piston has hairline crack. Causes transmission to jump into first gear from a stopped position. Rear brakes continually squeal. Right front brake intermittently locks up. Engine head gasket needs replacement. Front shoulder belts get tangled and twisted at the point where they feed through a metal d-shaped clip on the vehicle interior. Belt can't fully retrack.
When warm and driving, the transmission will shift down into 2nd gear, or even 1st gear no matter the speed, and stay there.
Transmission piston failed causing hesitation and stalling.
After reaching 50mph speedometer needle starts jumping, not reading the right speeds. Consumer has contacted dealer.
The van was in park inside of the driveway. One of consumer's boys climbed into the front seat on the driver side, and the van rolled down a hill and hit two houses, damaging some trees and grass was destroyed.
Transmission stopped working. Also multi-function switch failed, and stress fractures on steel wheels.
Transmission failure,forward clutch piston malfunctioned.
Automatic transmission would slip in/out at stops.
Automatic transmissions goes into neutral when stopped at light or in heavy traffic stops such as on interstate and then will lurch forward when gas is given or fail to move until driver manually shifts selector to low gear. Ford dealer says this condition is called neutralizing and would require the transmission to be rebuilt or replaced at approximately $1900. Another ford dealer said he is aware of this but as yet ford has not been willing to fix this defect. Jasper transmissions says not enough fluid gets to hubs and was a defective design. Ford supposedly remedied this on later models but consumers who purchased 1st year are left hanging. The internet is full of complaints re transmission problems.
Front right frame of door leaks.
Vehicle accelerated then engine would rev fast & then take off. Vehicle bucks & then slams into gear. Problem intermittent. Also, acts as if in neutral before shifting into gear hard.
Engine head gasket/transmission/ABS/brake light switch/tie rod and power steering hose failed.
Transmission failed.
Transmission malfunctioned.
Transmission is slipping while driving. Dealer informed comsumer that the forward clutch piston may need to be replaced. Vehicle only has 46,000 miles of wear.
While driving the vehicle began to jerk forward. Stepped on the gas and the vehicle did not switch gears. Also the vehicle just shut off after attempting to accelerate. Dealer and manufacturer have been notified.
Poor materials caused the aluminum pistons to crack causing them to fail prematurly.
