I drive a 2002 windstar ford it only has 33 thousand miles on it.We never have had one bit of trouble with itl

Do you drive a 2001 FORD WINDSTAR?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
