The speedometer starts moving erratically once speeds of 25 mph are reached. Also, sometimes, the windshield wipers will only work on high speed. I have contacted the dealer, and am told it will be $500 for the speedometer. I feel this, as well as the problems with the wipers is a serious safety issue. I've read several complaints on this site about problems with speedometers on 1996 Windstar, and I think Ford should be responsible for repairs, not me.
