 My 1999 Ford Windstar will be the last American make vehicle I ever purchase.  Despite following recommended maintenance guidelines, this vehicle has required:  four new O2 sensors, replacement of front end bearings, countless recall fixes and the coupe de grace, a completely new transmission and I have only put 68,000 miles on this vehicle.  Now I've noticed that the automatic locks are disfunctioning, there is a short in the electrical panel and the horn doesn't work.
