October 1999 Crash

January 2001 Crash

Purchased a 2000 ford windstar last week of january 2004 for the price of 13900.00. The van was stored out back for a while, and was under 30,000 miles when I bought it. The dealer never got it inspected until two weeks after I purchased and picked up the vehicle. By july 2004, our van was in the shop regarding transmission problems. They had it for two weeks. Upon picking it up, they left me no work order that was done and claimed they put in 4,000 dollars worth of work (verbally). I therefore contacted a lawyer.

Reported at 45,000 miles, July 2004

I was driving our ford expedition and I stopped at a light. When the light turned green I began to accelerate and I heard a pop from the engine. The truck immediately began to ride very roughly, and we smelled gas as we pull the truck to the side of the road.
