Ford Windstar problems
The Ford Windstar (later the Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey) is a minivan that was produced and sold by Ford. The replacement for the Ford Aerostar, the Windstar adopted the front-wheel drive configuration of the Chrysler minivans. From the 1995 to 2007 model years, three generations of the model line were sold, with the final generation renamed as the Ford Freestar.
Unrelated to the Nissan-developed Mercury Villager, the Windstar was marketed without a Lincoln-Mercury counterpart. As part of the 2004 launch of the Ford Freestar, Mercury introduced its first Ford-produced minivan in a revival of the Mercury Monterey nameplate.
Following a decline in sales across the minivan segment in the mid-2000s, the Freestar and Monterey were discontinued after the 2007 model year with no direct replacement. In North America, the model line was functionally matched by the 7-passenger 2008 Ford Taurus X wagon/CUV; in Mexico, the Freestar was replaced by the Ford Transit/Tourneo. In 2014, Ford reentered the segment as the Ford Transit Connect compact MPV gained 7-passenger seating in North America.
During its production the Ford Windstar/Freestar and the Mercury Monterey were sourced from Oakville Assembly (Oakville, Ontario). In total, 1,984,232 were produced (1,704,786 Windstars, 246,493 Freestars, and 32,953 Montereys).

Are Ford Windstars reliable?
Cons. Disconnected ride and handling, poor interior space utilization, noisy V6 engine, poor reputation for reliability.
How long do Ford Windstars last?
How Long Will the 2003 Ford Windstar Last? Drivers are typically reporting mileage in the low 200,000 range before the transmission totally goes out, but we're also seeing reports as low as 100,000 before something needs to be rebuilt or swapped out. Expect a fairly meager typical lifespan of 180,000 miles.
Why did Ford stop making the Windstar?
Transmission issues plagued early models, and concerns about reliability dogged the minivan throughout its production run. Additionally, some criticized its handling, particularly in comparison to its nimbler competitors. In 2007, Ford discontinued the Windstar, replaced by the larger and more truck-like Freestar.
What kind of engine does a Ford Windstar have?
3.8-liter V-6
Engine: 3.8-liter V-6; 200-hp at 5000 rpm; 230 lb-ft torque at 3000 rpm.

- Summary: The rear axle broke for the second time on a Ford Windstar, after already breaking prior to a recall in 2010. It appears to have broken where a clamp was attached. This caused the rear wheels to fall into, and grind against the wheel well. This happened on a side street near my house. Had it happened at highway speeds, the rear wheels could have locked up or perhaps broken free causing loss of control. The axle problem has been known to Ford, but it is concerning that this is the second one to fail. I have not yet contacted ford or a a repair facility to evaluate. There were no warning lamps or other indication. The axle simply broke abruptly. I thought it was a tire blow out until I saw the wheels tilted in. The vehicle is older, but I maintain it well.

Vehicle year: 2001
I purchased the vehicle second-hand with 18,000 miles on the clock. Despite now having 143,000 miles, it continues to run exceptionally well. While I did experience a transmission issue at around 55,000 miles, it was promptly resolved by the dealer and I have not encountered any further problems. Although the power doors can be temperamental, the 3.8 engine does not burn oil nor does it have any leaks. While the resale value may not be favourable, I intend to continue driving it until it is no longer feasible. In the meantime, it provides a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience.

I bought this van after owning/driving a Chevy Venture and a Dodge Caravan. I can confidently say that this van is hands down better than the competition. It is bigger, more powerful, and has a better ride. Although the gas mileage is less on the larger 3.8L engine, the significant power and better towing ability make that negligible at 25mpg hi-way compared to 28+ on the others with a small trailer. I loved it from day one and it still drives like new, even turning 109,000 this week. Maintenance is easier on the Windstar, with easier oil/filter changes. The cabin air filter for allergy sufferers is also a good idea. Overall, I would say it is 100% better than the Venture and 50% better than Chrysler products. Before buying this, I looked at Honda and Hyundai, but we have never regretted our decision for a second!

I have a Ford Windstar minivan and I've been driving it since 2010. I've never had any problems with it. I even drove it across Canada while towing a U-Haul container from Ontario to Saskatoon. I really enjoyed the comfortable drive!

We had leased a 1999 Windstar, but we were glad we didn't buy it. We had to replace two transmissions and were now on our third, which was quite noisy. Fortunately, we received an 'Early Bird Termination' letter from Ford, allowing us to get rid of the 1999 lemon after only 28 months of the 36-month lease. We then leased a new 2001 Windstar SE, which was fully loaded with leather, power sliding doors, and an entertainment center, all for under $400 per month.

Congratulations on your new purchase! It's great to hear that you found a van that you love. It sounds like you did your research and found one with a powerful engine, a safe design, and plenty of space inside. I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying driving it and I hope you have many fun trips in the future!
Are you having problems with your Ford Windstar?
Everardo Sporer 2025-09-03
Vehicle year: 1997
I purchased this car 'as is' from a used car lot. Despite having only about 110,000 miles, it required significant repairs within a year, including a head gasket replacement costing $1,700, an alternator replacement costing $560, and a transmission replacement costing $2,300. The total cost of repairs has exceeded the purchase price of the car, which is disappointing. However, the car is comfortable to drive and has ample space for hauling cargo with the seats removed.
Arnoldo Gutkowski 2025-09-03
Vehicle year: 1995
I purchased this car brand new, but unfortunately, I experienced several issues with it. Despite my best efforts to maintain it, I had to replace three transmissions, a head gasket, and a wheel bearing, among other things, all before reaching 60,000 miles. Even after taking it to the dealer, the check engine and ABS lights continued to be problematic, and the cruise control, back wiper, and interior lights were also not functioning properly. Although I was disappointed with these issues, I learned a lot from this experience and will be more careful when choosing my next vehicle.
Ian Terry 2025-08-29

I've had no mechanical problems with my Windstar, even after putting 88,000 miles on it. It still runs like new, and I only had to change the battery for the first time recently. However, I've decided to trade it in for a smaller car. If I had known that Ford was going to release a van with collapsible seats instead of removable ones, I would have waited and bought the Freestar. Removing and replacing the back seats has been a bit of a hassle since I got the car. Like many other reviewers, I've experienced occasional flickering of the interior lights and the ABS light coming on, but the dealer hasn't been able to find any problems when I bring it in. The gas mileage has been around 20, which used to be better.

Transmission, head, and engine gasket failures can be costly. However, our team's expertise and experience ensure that we can handle these issues with confidence and efficiency.

When I first purchased this car brand new and fully loaded, it was priced at $32,000. Unfortunately, I have had some issues with it, such as the A/C going out in the back two rows after 1 1/2 years of ownership, the door locks not working, and the back windshield wiper falling off on the freeway. Additionally, the TV/VCR in the car no longer works, the speakers in the back rows cut on and off, and the power seats are stuck in one position. Despite these challenges, I am considering selling the car to a junkyard as it is only worth $2000 now and needs some repairs. Thank you for your understanding.
