List of common problems on 1992 ford aerostar?

Answer 1

1. Air conditioners break down. There are two causes: First, the lines use a quick-disconnect system that leaks all the refrigerant. Second, the compressors tend to break down and seize up on these vehicles. 2. The Power Steering pump makes a lot of noise. Some also go bad, but they all make a constant buzzing noise. 3. The Airbag warning light flashes. Usually this is due to corrosion behind the front center sensor mounted to the radiator support and accessible through the grille. Unbolt it and sand the contact surfaces and you'll be all set. 4. Gear shifter anomolies. The column-mounted gear selector for the automatic transmission can get screwy and become misaligned or loose. 5. The ignitionlock jams/breaks. This is actually a surprisingly easy fix, you can replace it yourselfusing a straightened paperclip. The replacement part is about $12--your choice between chrome and black. 6. On the AWD / 4WD models, the front wheel bearings are actually a hub assembly which must be replaced as a unit. The part is about $115 each side, but should last a very long time. Overall, these are very good vehicles, tough as nails and twice as dependable. Mine's got over 250,000 miles and neither burns nor leaks any oil. This is the 4.0 liter V6. Fuel economy is not great for a minivan, but not bad considering the size of this vehicle. You should know that it is heavy as well: in New Jersey it must be registered as a truck, which costs $76 annually instead of the $42 you'd pay for a smaller vehicle (for instance, a Plymouth Voyager / Dodge Caravan).
