There's one thing better than earning five stars in the government's frontal crash test ratings. That's earning five stars in both front and rear passenger side impact crash test ratings as well. And right now, Ford Windstar (tested with optional side air bags) is the only vehicle to have earned that coveted status. In addition, Ford also offers other frontal five star rated vehicles in the 1999 Crown Victoria and 1999 Taurus.

Committed to your safety.

At Ford, occupant safety is, and has long been, a high priority. Since 1927, we've pioneered such measures as laminated glass windshields, self-adjusting brakes and rear door child safety locks. Today, Second Generation airbags in use in our 1998 and 1999 vehicles are designed to further enhance protection for the driver and front passenger while also reducing the risk posed to occupants from potential air bag inflation injury. And the 1999 Windstar adds even further protection for front passengers from side impacts with optional side air bags. (Remember, though, always wear your safety belts and secure children in the rear seat).

1999 Windstar

The word is out: The 1999 Ford Windstar has proven to be the uncontested leader in government safety crash tests. Not only is it the only minivan to earn five stars in government front crash tests five years in a row, now it's the only vehicle to ever earn the highest safety ratings in both front and side impact crash tests.* And Windstar lists 40 standard safety features, ranging from flame retardant fabrics, to side impact door beams, to 4-wheel anti-lock brakes.
