problem #2

2008Aug 13

Windstar LX 3.8L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 142,000 miles

I'm a single mother of two I purchased this van because of the convenience and so called dependability. I had a typical oil changed done and my vehicle sounded like a diesel truck!! I turned the corner it stalled....from there we found that the engine was done and had to be replaced. As a single parent I couldn't afford a new vehicle so I had to invest back $1,100.00 for another engine (which I actually got a deal!) What's next: I used my rent money for my transportation so I didn't loose my job.Thanks a lot Ford I thought you were an AMERICAN made car....suppose to be something a family could depend on not something a family went in debt on!!!!
