Noise coming from front suspension, dealer notified and informed consumer that it was due to a cracked/broken bushing, vehicle was not covered under a recall, also warranty expired. Consumer states the problem was brought to the attention of the dealer shortly after purchase, the dealer stated that noise was in most of the Windstar and that manufacturer was aware of the problem and that no repair at that time, dealer tried to reapir but had no success, consumer received a notice from Ford about the extension of the warranty for the front coil springs, but was informed by Ford that his problem and the notice that was sent out are not related.

Consumer has had the subframe bushings replaced on 2 occasions within a five year period under 70,000 miles, on one occasion at 65488 miles the vehicle experienced the same symptoms (knocking under the floorboards) as before when the bushings needed replaced, however this time the dealer diagnosed the problem as loose subframe bolts which did not correct the problem, so a month later the dealer stated the subframe bushings had failed again, consumer is requesting reimbursement.

My 1995 Windstar has had problems since day 1. paint job had to be repaired; windshield had crack..replaced; sliding door was leaking and had to be adjusted 3 times; head gasket failure; timing gasket failure; wheel bushing failure; interior parts not installed properly; ABS light/elect system failure (2X); I feel so bad about this thing I don't know what to do. Ford doesn't care. I can't sell this thing with a clear conscience....but Ford did. Can you help us!!!! there are many, many others like me. I am very concerned the tranny will go next as has been reported by so many other Windstar owners when they reach the 60-75000 mile range. In addition, the timing cover gasket costs approximately $850 to fix. I don't want to pay for this repair but neither Ford or my dealer will fix the problem. Mechanics I have spoke with said to talk with the dealer...this should not happen at such a low mileage. I believe it was happening since day one intermittantly. (I have always had antifreeze leaking on my garage floor since day 1. the dealer said it was "loose fittings". so now I am stuck with it. Help us!!!
