Overview & Reviews

This year, Ford introduces its version of the front-wheel-drive minivan. Designed to replace the archaic Aerostar, the Windstar offers a wealth of standard equipment. Dual airbags, antilock brakes, a four-speed automatic transmission and V6 power are just a few of the features included in the base price. The Windstar seats seven and has an integrated child seat: an attractive feature for the family with toddlers.

  95 Windstar - 1995 Ford Windstar

  Lots of trips to the dealer for repair. Not the wisest purchase weve made. Very weak brakes have made for some scary times. Rides well, though, and the kids love the space.

  Trans & Brake Problems - 1995 Ford Windstar
  By Speedy - May 22 - 2:00 am

  Windstar is a nicely designed vehicle and should be a pleasure to drive, but the vehicle has serious problems with brakes, transmission and head gaskets. I get so tired of replacing brakes and components. Transmission shifts awkwardly and causes Check Engine light to come on, on long trips. Have had the head gasket replaced. I am not happy with the car mechanically and will be careful before buying another Ford. Consumers demand dependability and a vehicle that doesnt plague you with problems at 100K miles.

  Van is Junk Ford has No Integrity - 1995 Ford Windstar
  By ihateford - May 21 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle has blown its head gaskets five times! Three times after Ford Dealer installed an engine remanufactured by Ford. The transmission also failed at 40k miles. Ford not only been extremely reluctant to fix this piece of junk they seem to be incapable of doing so. If anyone tries to sell or even give you one of these things RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!!

  Dont even think about it - 1995 Ford Windstar

  This van is TERRIBLE. Consumer Reports warns to avoid this van. Weve had to replace head gaskets, ac, transmission, computer chip that tells car when to shift (1,200), the hood flew off, etc.

  Never Again - 1995 Ford Windstar
  By FormerFordFan - May 11 - 2:00 am

  It has been 20 years since I bought a car other than a Ford. My 95 Windstar, despite excellent maintenance and conservative driving has been a reliability nightmare: timining cover gasket, $700 Mass air sensor, twice electrical problems, continual now the transmission. Ford ignored my request for relief, now I am ignoring Ford products.

  What can I say? - 1995 Ford Windstar
  By Sunbelt - May 7 - 2:00 am

  If you could replace the mechanicals you would have an outstanding minivan. Its big, and handles better than any other its size. Weve had it on several long trips, and it was quite comfortable. But weve paid for it! Second transmission baulky--well stick it out til it goes entirely, thank you. We nursed the engine 110000 miles before the head gasket went. That was a mistake! The brakes are headed for their fifth repair. On the other hand, it never left us stranded--always struggled home. I would estimate this car cost Ford almost as much consumer loyalty as their suicide SUV.

  piece of junk - 1995 Ford Windstar
  By never_buy_ford_again - April 17 - 2:00 am

  2 head gaskets, an entire new cooling system, lots of electrical problems and a trans rebuild later, i dont think i would feel comfortable selling this car to osama bin laden. at least ford will fix the head gasket for you till 100k but that fix wont last long. the trans is as big a problem as the head, the aluminum part that they replace with a steel one is as good as an admission of guilt in my book, but ford wont pay for that. never never never buy a windstar. i grew up in a ford family, but my kids will grow up in a honda family, so long henry

  Great Van - 1995 Ford Windstar
  By Kenneth - April 15 - 2:00 am

  We have had great success with our Windstar. Very reliable. Weve only had to perform routine maintenance (oil, tires, brakes). Engine and transmission still respond well even after 90K miles. I will definately buy another Ford.
