Windstar

Van was returned to dealer to fix a minor problem with the transmission. When slowing down and then accelerating, the transmission would jump and jerk into gear. Ford elected to replace the transmission. Then the technician discovered the steering problems and replaced the rack and pinion. Then discovered the lower steering assembly was defective. Therefore, they have had my new van in the shop for 3 weeks.
