I regrettably own a 2000 ford Windstar that has had a dozen malfunctions ranging from numerous electrical problems to now crappy engineered suspension parts. My wife and I was walking toward our Windstar to leave the house when all at once the front of the van came crashing down to the ground making a hell of a bang!!!!! Thank God we weren't on the freeway yet. The driver side front spring broke while sitting still, puncturing the tire and ruining the strut!!! This is the first and the very last Ford for me!!!The dealer told me there hasn't been a recall for this problem. There has been for prev. years but not a 2000 I can't believe that Ford has stayed in business all these years putting this kind of inferior cars on the road endangering the lives of people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My wife and I were walking out of the house toward our van parked in the driveway when all of a sudden the van let out a hell of a bang!! The left front tire went flat instantly and the front of the van hit the ground!! The damn spring broke puncturing the tire!!If this would have happened 15 minutes later we would have been on the freeway!!! We called our local Ford dealer, he said there wasn't a recall on this problem and I would have have to pay for repairs. I can't believe Ford has stayed in business as long as they have!! I have convinced two people that were going to buy new Fords to purchase another make of car, and I'm sure I can sway other people to do the same!! I will make this a life long mission to cost Ford as many sales as I possibly can!!!!!!!!!!!!! The half a dozen other problems(electrical, heater, instruments, door latches) I've had with this piece of junk seem minuscule compared to this one!!! Oh, by the way, the replacement parts were aftermarket parts because I refuse to give any more money to Ford Motor Company!! They produce inferior parts and cars!!!!!!!!!

TO HELL WITH FORD!!!!!!!!!!!!
