Still Going 20 years later - 1990 Ford Aerostar
By 90Aerostar - August 18 - 3:44 pmI love this van. I bought it new, and have driven it since then. It is comfortable and maneuverable, and has suited my needs. It has never failed to please me, in driving, in parking. I can use it for carrying people or lumber, as the back seats are easily removable.

What a piece of junk! - 1990 Ford Aerostar
By John Kimble - January 31 - 1:11 amI drive this van to school every day and it gets horrific gas mileage. In winter it has gone as far down as a whopping 7 mpg. The rust is unbelievable and the exterior design is quite flawed. The interior is nice however. What this van really needs is a lot more power. It seems like sometimes it did not want to go at all and if you are on any sort of incline at all it wont break 75 no matter how hard you press on the gas. It never heats up either. The traction is terrible. In snow if you just tap the gas the tires will spin like crazy.

By dawn - June 10 - 1:09 pmBut, you have to replace the transmission, Ive had two Aerostars and had to replace the transmission in both of them, but otherwise, I really liked the van.

A Great Piece of Junk - 1990 Ford Aerostar
By RustBucket88 - January 7 - 6:09 pmWhat an indestructible piece of junk! It has 160,000 miles. It has rust through the body, none of the accessories work, the interior is torn up, the paint is peeling and the suspension is shot, but it just keeps going. It needed a new transmisson, but that was due to the previous owners neglect. We drive it like we hate it. It needs a quart of oil every 500 miles and always needs coolant, but we maintain it and it keeps going. The only other items repaired were a broken brake caliper and door latch. This vehicle is used for dump runs, driving off road and is driven hard on the highway, but it keeps going. The gas mileage is terrible (less than 15 mpg), but it isnt driven economically.

No Major problems - 1990 Ford Aerostar
By Coke - February 10 - 2:00 amI bought this van used in 1993 with 19,000 km on it. Since then the major repairs have been a starter and an air conditioning compressor, but in the 10 years I have owned it I have spent less than $1000 in repairs. A workmate has a 1998 Chevy Venture and spent $1300 in 1 repair job alone, Ill keep my Ford thankyou.

good long time reliable friend - 1990 Ford Aerostar
By alden - September 10 - 2:00 amBought it new, and there never has been a mini van built since that can actually carry 7 pasangers and thier lugguage. My new car is a Ford Excursion (ie the F250 SUV) and it has less luggage room than the Aerostar.. So sad the mini vans and SUVs these days are not desined to take your gear with you..

Bad Transmissions - 1990 Ford Aerostar
By kings - August 29 - 2:00 amI bought mine from a crooked used dealer (arent they all?). The radiator fluid was burning out the tail pipe so I put in some stop leak. This may have caused some other problems but a lot of things just fell apart because Ford stands for Fix Or Repair Daily. The A/C stopped working, the heat sucks in the winter. The drivers side power door lock stopped working. I was told I needed to replace the transmission ($1500 Canadian) last year and have been able to drive it still but it revs high for a few minutes before it kicks into 2nd gear every time you turn it on and it wont go into reverse now when its been driven a lot. The gas mileage is HORRENDOUS.

FIRES IN FORD AEROSTARS!!!!!!!!!!! - 1990 Ford Aerostar
By Randall Selby - March 29 - 2:00 amMy sister had a Ford Aerostar and it caught FIRE.Followed by that the transmission BLEW UP, AND THE AC WENT OUT. I would never recommend this van to anyone. It doesnt compare to any of the Japanese or European vehicles.TALK ABOUT UNSAFE, IF YOU GO TO, www.highwaysafety.com,you can clearly see that the airbag didnt inflate all the way, and the stearing broke off and landed in the dummys lap. This was a 40 mph crash!!!!!
