1 Paint problem of the 2000 Ford Windstar

Failure Date: 04/28/2011

I own 2000 Ford Windstar. The paint is flanking off the roof really bad it has some spots rusted and some is gray even in the back and front. I just replaced the hood from a junk yard. My speedometer keeps going crazy and when trying to get out of park the park and revers part broke because it got stuck with the rpm and that broke too. I have to keep the fuse unplugged that goes to the interior lighting do to battery dead by the next day.

6 Paint problem of the 2001 Ford Windstar

Failure Date: 07/15/2003

Bought the used vehicle from a used car dealer. Didn't check for paint peeling or rust, thought a 2 year old car wouldn't have any. I washed the car, and as I waxed it, discovered the peeling paint on the roof rib, almost entire lenghth of vehicle, then found rust at the bottom of the front passenger door and rear passenger sliding door. Contacted Ford, instructed me to go to local dealership, went to gervais Ford in ayer MA. Service manager looked over the car, made notes, informed me he would contact Ford headquarters to see if they will do anything. Two weeks later, he contacted me and informed me there was nothing they could do regarding the paint or the doors rusting from the inside out.

7 Paint problem of the 1998 Ford Windstar

Failure Date: 08/01/2001

The paint is literally peeling off of my silver 1998 Ford Windstar. The paint on the roof is practically gone and now the top of the doors are starting to peel and rust. I was told by Ford that they will not help me. All estimates I have for repainting state that this is a manufacturer defect.
