The 1998 Ford Windstar has on several occasions cut off in the middle of left hand turns I've made in intersections. It also cuts off if whenever I have to come to a sudden stop. For example once in September of 1998, in the middle of a left hand turn at a busy intersection another driver driving west ran through the caution light while I was turning. I had to slam on my breaks to keep her from hittting me and my car cut off. When I drive up hills it stalls[my drive way] and cuts off. Three days after I brought the van home it leaked what looked like to be antifreeze. It also hesitates when I slow down.

We believe the sheer number of defect on this car is unbelievable. We purchased it used from my parents. Total cost of non "wear and tear" repairs is around $5000. This is over 25% of the vehicles original value, and over 50% of the value at time of purchase. While no accidents have occurred, we believe Ford should take responsibility for a bad product.
