Two problems related to transmission not engage have been reported for the 1999 Ford Windstar. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Transmission fail-forward clutch piston. Stopped at stop sign and when I put foot on gas to go it just raced the engine. Gears would not engage. No forewarning and only 33,000 miles on a lightly driven car! called Ford dealer and corp. And they won't do anything. From what I read this is a very common occurrence and had I pulled into traffic this morning and lost it I would be writing this from a hospital!!! I think this needs to be brought to Fords attention! I will be out of almost 2500 when this is over. . . . Money in these times that I cannot afford!.
While shifting vehicle into park vehicle would not engage properly. Vehicle was serviced, and technician replaced steel plate and reverse clutch. Please provide further information.
