TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING BADLY. DEALER CLAIMS IT WAS A SENSOR. JUST HEARD ON THE NEWS FORD WINDSTARS HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH 95 TRANNYS. GOVERNMENT SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR ALL 95 WINDSTARS AND HAVE THE TRANSMISSIONS CHECKED.
TRANSMISSION WAS NOT DOWNSHIFTING COMPLETELY WHEN VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. THEN WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED, IT WOULD SUDDENLY SHIFT INTO GEAR, LURCHING FORWARD. THIS HAD HIGH POTENTIAL FOR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY IF THE DRIVER ACCELERATED TOO QUICKLY.
