This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
1997 Ford Windstar: Speedometer after 55mph bounces and reaches 70mph with noise under the dashboard. I asked other Ford owners and they had same problem on different Ford model.
Engine check light, ABS and trac off lights started flashing at 78,000 miles. Car has failed 4 times. Repeated trips to service center, tune-up twice, new battery, new fuel pump. Approx. $1500 paid so far, car continues to fail while driving. Ford Motor Co.
We believe the sheer number of defect on this car is unbelievable. We purchased it used from my parents. Total cost of non "wear and tear" repairs is around $5000. This is over 25% of the vehicles original value, and over 50% of the value at time of purchase. While no accidents have occurred, we believe Ford should take responsibility for a bad product.
While driving vehicle, noticed the indicator gauge for the speedometer fails to register speed of vehicle. The indicator needle kept bouncing up & down. Was not steady. Taken vehicle to mechanic for noise in dashboard. Mjs
