At 65 mph my 2003 windstar seems to want to down shift or like its missing for a feel seconds then everything is ok. This only seems to happen at 65 mph. It has 68,000 miles on it, any ideas?

You’re going to need to provide full info on the vehicle & its maintenance history. Spark plugs? Wires? Filters? Past transmission service? Is the check engine light on? Did you check the transmission fluid?

Does this can have a tachometer? And if so, what does it do during these episodes?
