problem #2

Windstar LX V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles

Ford vehicles are garbage, I have had two Windstars and have had bilateral head gaskets go at 4000 miles, multiple electrical issues, and the latest is the paint is peeling off the hood. I took it to the Ford repair shop and the lead paint man said it is a manufacturer defect, he actually documented this. I believe I am going to have to take them to court despite the fact that I called and told them at their main headquarters about the issue and what their own representative said. I would never buy or recommend a Ford vehicle to anyone. I cannot believe how you are treated after the warranty runs out but hey, I wasn't treated very well with the head gasket problem at 4000 miles.

We have seen other s in our town w/ the same paint peeling problem.
I thought it was just chipped paint int he beginning, by the time I realized it was a problem, our warranty had expired.
