 This is the second Windstar we have 
been afflicted with.  The first was a 
1999 and we finally got rid of it 
because in the heat, the rear sliding 
doors would pop ajar.  This new one 
has also had issues with the sliders ( 
the same issue).  Now, I am finding 
plenty of little things going wrong.  
I am just tired of spending my time in 
the dealership.
We have also discovered that the rear 
heating system is poorly designed.   
There is a vent aimed at the drivers' 
seat.  So, when the kids are cold, but 
the driver is warm, too bad for the 
driver (or the kids)- the driver 
roasts while the kids still shiver.
