2000 Ford Winstar with no problems. Have always had good luck with Fords and for some reason I sit more comfortably in them.

Worst nightmare - a Chevy with a faulty catalytic convertor (a company car) which I finally abandoned on Queens Blvd in NYC. It was less than six months old. Damn thing would shut down - no power steering/no power brakes with no warning. Nearly got me killed.
