Three problems related to emission control have been reported for the 1996 Ford Windstar. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
What's with the O2 sensors? this is the second time it went bad. Don't they know how to make a good quality parts?.
I was informed by crissman Lincoln/ Mercury that my head gaskets are leaking on my Windstar. This is a frequent enough problem that they informed me that if I payed the first $500 that Ford would pay for the rest of the repair. Previous to getting this informatio I had to replace all four oxygen sensors and part of the catalytic converter. I have now been told that these became defective as a result of the engine coolant leaking into the engine. In addition to this at only 49000 the front coil spring broke while parked in the driveway. Ford has no springs in stock and there are no aftermarket parts being made yet. Are these springs defective?.
Consumer stated the oxygen sensor failed.
