The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY
|
|
Description:
|
Certain minivans fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 225, (child restraint anchorage system). During testing, a third row bench floor-to-seat latch released before the strength requirement was met. Identical latches are used in the second row of seats. If the latches on the second or third row seats of the vehicle release in a crash, the potential for occupant injury is increased. Dealers will replace the seat-to-floor latches on the second and third row of seats. Owner notification began on November 21, 2003. Owners should contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673.

Summary:
|
A van outstanding in its field.
By John Rettie, NewCarTestDrive.com
Ford has continued to add to the Windstar's already long list of available safety equipment. All models share a five-star crash test rating. Add to that traction and stability control, front-passenger side-impact airbags and the reverse sensing system, and it's easy to see why the Windstar is such a desirable family vehicle. Windstar is safe and roomy, features a versatile seating arrangement, and offers a rear-seat entertainment system. If you've got kids, this minivan should be on your list.In fact, it's almost too good for the kids. A luxuriously appointed Windstar Limited would be equally appropriate for taking four to six adults on a long journey or downtown to the opera. |
|
Overview:
|
If you think of minivans as faceless vehicles with fairly interchangeable personalities, then you need to think again. Ford's Windstar is a minivan with a difference, Minivanius maximus, a van outstanding in its field. Windstar comes standard with a strong, 200-horsepower V6 and room for seven. It offers options aplenty to satisfy any taste. Like most modern minivans, the Windstar offers power sliding rear doors. However, Windstar is the only minivan with available power-adjustable pedals, allowing short and tall drivers to adjust seats and pedals for the safest, most comfortable driving position. Perhaps most important for a family hauler, Windstar is also the only minivan to earn the Federal government's highest crash-test rating, five stars for the driver and front-passenger, for seven straight years. Now Windstar has also achieved the double five-star rating in the new side-impact tests when equipped with optional side-impact air bags.
