FIRST INDICATION OF PROBLEM WAS "RATTLING" SOUND GOING DOWNHILL @ ABOUT 60 MPH. SOUNDED LIKE MUFFLER CAME LOOSE AND WAS DRAGGING ON PAVEMENT, EXCEPT THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. AFTER INVESTIGATING AND FINDING NOTHING, PROCEEDED TO DRIVE TO DESTINATION (ABOUT 12 MI). RATTLE CONTINUED OFF AND ON; OVERDRIVE OFF LIGHT ON DASH STARTED BLINKING OFF AND ON THOUGH OD WAS ENGAGED. DROVE TO A FORD DEALER (UNIVERSITY FORD, PEORIA IL). THEY FOUND "TRANSMISSION FULL OF DEBRIS" AND REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION UNDER THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE STARTED WHILE ON HIGHWAY @ 60 MPH. SOUNDED LIKE MUFFLER DRAGGING ON PAVEMENT, EXCEPT IT CAME FROM FRONT OF VAN. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO NEAREST FORD DEALER -- ABOUT 12 MILES. DEALER REPORTED TRANSMISSION "FULL OF DEBRIS" AND REPLACED IT (PART # XF2Z-7000-BARM). *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOV EV3EHICLE. *AK

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM - PROBLEM NOTICED IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE DATE - PROBLEM WITH SLOW SHIFTS NOTICEABLE AT 20 AND 40 MPH. GRINDING NOISE PREVELANT AT THESE STAGES. DEALERSHIP SAID WAS NORMAL. AROUND 25000 TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE "QUICK" SHIFTS FROM ACCELERATION, POPPING NOISE FROM ONE GEAR TO NEXT AS TRANSMISSION TRIES TO DETERMINE APPROPRIATE GEAR FOR 5-10MPH. GRINDING AT 20 AND 40MPH STEADILY BECOMING WORSE. AGAIN DEALERSHIP INDICATES NORMAL. AT 27MPH TRANSMISSION IS BEGINNING TO JUMP INTO REVERSE. SHIFTING OF GEARS - BANG BANG BANG. MUCH WORSE. MANY TRIPS TO DEALERSHIP YEILD SAME RESPONSE. "NEW ENGINE, NO PROBLEMS, OR YES THE ENGINEERS HEAR WHAT YOU HEAR BUT NO PROBLEM" I AM AFRAID THAT WITH 2 CHILDREN AND MY WIFE THAT TRANSMISSION WILL QUIT PUTTING THEM IN AN UNSAFE PREDICAMENT. NOTICE THAT THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT OUTLINE THE SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEM. FORD UNWILLING TO RECOGNIZE.*AK

TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT PROPERLY INTO GEARS. PROBLEM OF SHIFTING WAS INTERMITTENT. STEERING IS LEAKING FLUID. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, MECHANIC COULD NOT LOCATE CAUSE OF LEAKAGE OR REASON GEARS WOULD LOCK UP.*AK

SLIDE DOOR REOPENS WHEN CLOSED WITH KEY OR INTERIOR CONTROLS. SLIDE DOOR NOT OPERABLE WITH INTERIOR CONTROLS ( WILL NOT CLOSE AT ALL).

HAD TO REPLACE RACK AND POWER STEERING PUMP.*AK

REAR DOME LIGHT FAILED. NLM

UPON VISUAL INSPECTION CONSUMER NOTICED FLUID ON GROUND AND VEHICLE WOULD MAKE A WHINING NOISE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER, AND CONSUMER WAS NOTIFIED THAT RACK AND PINION STEERING WAS BROKEN. *AK

18 VISITS TO SERVICE DEPT SINCE WE BOUGHT VAN; 6 IN THE LAST 5 WEEKS FOR POWER SLIDING DOORS NOT SHUTTING.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING 35 MPH HEARD A LOUD BANG. REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE GLASS ON CARGO DOOR HAD SHATTERED. CORNERS OF WINDOW WERE BROKEN OFF. WINDOW WAS STILL INTACT. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP, AND INFORMED BY MECHANIC THAT PROBLEM WAS NORMAL. *AK

HORN SENSOR IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO LOCATE IN AN EMERGENCY. *AK

STEERING GEAR TO PUMP HAD BROKEN, CAUSING LOST OF STEERING. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFOMATION. *AK

TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT CONUSMER DEPRESSED HORN BUTTONS, AND HORN WOULD NOT SOUND. CONSUMER STATED HORN BUTTONS HAVE TO BE DEPRESSED VERY HARD TO SOUND.*AK THE DESIGN OF THE HORN AND STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY DOES NOT PROVIDE EFFECTIVE ACCESS TO HORN IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. ALSO, TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT PROPERLY ENGAGE ON CURVED ROAD WAYS. *YH

GAS GAUGE HASN'T WORKED A WHILE, AND TRANSMISSION FAILED A FEW DAYS AGO. *AK

APPROACHED STOP SIGN AND PRESSED BRAKES WHICH MADE A LOUD GRATING METAL SOUND WHICH HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. AS I SLID INTO INTERSECTION I FLIPPED GEARS TO PARK WHICH FINALLY STOPPED THE CAR. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE REAR BRAKES WERE PRACTICALLY UNUSED AND THE FRONT BRAKES WERE WORN OUT WHICH LED THEM TO BELIEVE THE REAR BRAKES WERE NOT CONNECTED OR FUNCTIONING AND HAD NOT DONE SO FOR SOME TIME. FORD REFUSED TO COVER THIS UNDER OUR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOME TYPE OF DEFECTIVE FAULTY PART INVOLVED. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT CAME OF THIS INCIDENT. *AK

TRANSMISSION OFTEN DOES NOT SMOOTHLY SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE OVERDRIVE ON/OFF LIGHT WILL FLASH ON AND OFF FOR 30-40 SECONDS INTERMITTENTLY. THE TRANSMISSION WILL SEEM TO HAVE TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS AND WILL HESITATE OR ROUGHLY JERK INTO A GEAR. WE HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO BE REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD IT REPAIRED UNDER A TRANSMISSION RECALL AS WELL BUT IT STILL IS HAVING PROBLEMS. *AK

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. GAUGE WOULD REMAIN ON EMPTY SIDE. VEHICLE BEEN IN DEALER SHOP, AND WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE PROBLEM BECAUSE GAUGE WAS WORKING AT THAT TIME. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS ON THIS MATTER. *AK

WHILE PUTTING FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK, THE CABIN FILLS WITH FUEL ODORS, THE ODOR IS VERY STRONG AND STAYS FOR ABOUT 4 OR 5 MINUTES, THE ODOR MAKES THE CONSUMERS SICK, SO THEY ARE REQUESTING A REFUND OR REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THE DEALER HAS FAILED SEVERAL TIMES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *SLC

AFTER PLACING VEHICLE IN PARK CONSUMER ENTERED HOUSE AND HE WAS NOTIFIED BY HIS NEIGHBOR THAT VEHICLE WAS ON ROAD. VEHICLE MUST BE IN PARK BEFORE KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM IGNITION. *AK

CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A 20 MPH FRONTAL COLLISION IN WHICH DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING OUR VAN WE HAD TO JUMP START IT AND LOST THE CABLE ON THE POWER SLIDING DOOR. SINCE THEN THE CAR'S ENGINE WAS WORKED ON BUT STILL STALLS OUT SOMETIMES.THE TRANSMISSION STILL JERKS IN PARK.(THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM.) FOR THE POWER SLIDING DOOR, AFTER A NEW CABLE,NUMEROUS ADJUSTINGS,ALIGHNMENTS AND TWO CONTROL MODULES PUT IN. IT STILL WORKS ERATICLEY AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO SEE A PROBLEM. THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN, WHEN IT FINALLY OPENS IT WILL NOT SHUT. WHEN IT IS CLOSED IT DOES NOT LATCH AND THE INTERIOR AND DOOR AJAR LIGHTS STAY ON. IT CONSTANTLEY MAKES A RACKET AND POPPING NOISE. ON OCCASION THE DOOR OPENS WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE THREE SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS IS A SAFTEY HAZARD!! WORKING WITH A FORD REP HE STATES THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BUT TO BRING IT IN "AGAIN" FOR REPAIRS. BUT THEY REALLY CAN'T SEE A PROBLEM. HE DID STATE THAT THEY WOULD GIVE ME 1,500 REBATE TOWARDS ANOTHER VAN OR TRADE IN. I TOLD HIM I WANTED THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE MASHED NO FURTHER OWNERS. HE SAID THAT WOULD NOT HAPPEN. AFTER LOOKING AT YOUR REPORT ON 1999 AND 2000 WINDSTARS AND THE SAME REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH ENGINES AND SLIDING DOORS.THEN COMPARING TO OTHER MAKES OF MINI VANS AND THERE FEW PROBLEMS. I WOULD NOT WANT TO OWN ANOTHER FORD!! I WILL BE SUBMITTING THIS PROBLEM TO THE DISPUTE SETTLEMENT BOARD. I'TS TO BAD FORD DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCTS.*AK

IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS THE HORN PAD/BUTTON. DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO FIX DUE TO CONFIGURATION. *CJ

SAFETY PROBLEM: PASSENGER SIDE REAR POWERED SLIDING DOOR. DRIVE CABLE COVER BECOMES LOOSE AND JAMS IN GUIDE HOLE PREVENTING DOOR FROM OPENING PRESENTING SAFETY PROBLEM TO REAR SEAT PASSENGERS. TOOK OVER TWO WEEKS FOR SERVICING DEALER TO GET PARTS AND IN MEANTIME REAR SEARS WERE UNUSABLE FOR PASSENGERS. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH FELT A SHARP JERK TO THE SIDE. ONCE CORRECTED, JERKED AGAIN THE OTHER WAY. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND DEALER STATED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE FIRST INCIDENT. NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED. *AK

HORN BUTTON WILL NOT RESPOND WHEN NEEDED IN A "HURRY-UP" SITUATION. EXACT LOCATION MUST BE DEPRESSED FOR HORN TO BLOW. NEVER HAS THE HORN BLOWN WHEN I NEEDED IT IN A HURRY. USE OF THE HEEL OR PALM OF YOUR HAND WILL NOT BLOW THE HORN. YOU MUST LOCATE THE HORN EMBLEM FIRST, THEN DEPRESS THE HORN THERE. IN A HURRY-UP NEED FOR THE HORN, THERE IS NO TIME TO FIND THE BUTTON. THE DEALER STATES THAT THIS IS DUE TO THE AIR BAG INSTALLED WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THEREFORE THERE IS ONLY A SMALL AREA THAT WILL ACTIVATE THE HORN. IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD MANY OCCASSIONS TO BLOW THE HORN FOR SOMEONE GETTING TOO CLOSE TO ME, OR CHANGING LANES WITH A THREAT OF SIDESWIPING ME. WHEN I HIT THE HORN WITH THE HEEL OF MY HAND, THERE IS NO RESPONSE. IN THE 2 YEARS + THAT I'VE HAD THE CAR, I'VE STILL BEEN UNABLE TO OVERCOME THIS BY TRYING TO HIT JUST THE RIGHT SPOT TO BLOW THE HORN. I HAVE INQUIRED WITH OTHER WINDSTAR OWNERS WHEN I SEE ONE IN A PARKING LOT. THEY ALL SAY THE SAME THING. BASICALLY, THEY SAY, AND I AGREE, THE HORN IS NON-FUNCTIONAL WHEN NEEDED IN A HURRY. *AK

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED 5 INCIDENTS WHEN GOING FROM PARK-REVERSE, PARK- DRIVE AND WHEN CORNING THE ENGINE RPM'S WILL GO TO MAXIMUM FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS. IT WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER AFTER THESE INCIDENTS AND WAS REVIEWED BY A LOCAL FORD REPRESENTATIVE. HOWEVER, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT AND THEREFORE COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, IN REVIEWING YOUR DATABASE I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS CASE WHERE THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED. ITS ONLY A MANER OF TIME BEFORE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OCCUR. PLEASE HELP US TO GET THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED. THANK YOU. *AK

THE VAN BEGINS TO SURGE (RPMS JUMP FROM 500 TO 1200) AND THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON THEN THE VAN DIES. THIS OCCURS APPROXIMATELY ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. ON A MORE ROUTINE BASIS, THE VAN DOES A MILD SURGE AND THEN WHEN YOU STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GO IT ACTS LIKE IT IS GOING TO DIE AND THEN LURCHES FORWARD. THESE PROBLEMS ONLY OCCUR WHEN THE VAN IS COMPLETELY WARMED UP AND IDLING FOR MORE THAN A BRIEF MOMENT (SUCH AS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN THAT TAKES A MINUTE TO BE ABLE TO GO.) THIS MAY NOT SOUND LIKE A SERIOUS PROBLEM BUT AS THE DRIVER I WOULD NOT AGREE WITH THAT. WE HAVE PRESENTED OUR CASE TO THE FORD DISPUTE BOARD AND THEY FOUND IT NOT TO BE A "SAFETY" PROBLEM (I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT). WE HAVE TRIED TO DEAL WITH BOTH CORNING FORD AND RED BLUFF FORD WITH NO SUCCESS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THE CONSUMER CAN BE RAILROADED AND IGNORED WHEN THEY TRY TO GO THROUGH THE SYSTEM THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE SET UP TO AVOID SUCH MESSES AS THESE. ALL I WANT IS OUT OF THIS VEHICLE BEFORE I GET IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY VAN DECIDED NOT TO GO AND SOME OTHER DRIVER DIDN'T KNOW I HAVE A LEMON AND HITS ME. *AK

WHEN NEW, THE HORN ON THIS VAN WOULD ONLY WORK IF YOU PUSHED RIGHT ON THE HORN ICON, WHICH IS IN THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IN A PANIC SITUATION, PUSHING ANYWHERE EXCEPT THE SQUARE INCH RIGHT OVER THIS HORN SYMBOL WOULD NOT RESULT IN THE HORN HONKING AND POSED A SAFETY/CRASH HAZARD MULTIPLE TIMES. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THIS WAS NORMAL FOR THIS MODEL TO ONLY HAVE THE HORN WORK IN THAT ONE SMALL SPOT. WHEN RETURNED FOR NEXT WARRANTY SERVICE I MENTIONED THIS AGAIN, AND THIS TIME THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THE HORN/AIR BAG UNIT. AFTER REPLACEMENT, NOW THE UPPER LEFT QUADRANT OF THE SURFACE WORKS TO MAKE THE HORN BLOW, BUT THIS IS STILL A SAFETY HAZARD IN A PANIC SITUATION WHEN MOST COMMONLY MY RIGHT HAND IS USED TO HIT THE HORN AS WARNING - IN MOST CASES THE HORN STILL DOESN'T WORK. WHEN I COMPLAINED AGAIN, THEY SAID THIS WAS NORMAL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN AN ACCIDENT IS IMMINENT AND YOU CANNOT HONK YOUR HORN QUICKLY (HAVING TO FIRST REMEMBER EXACTLY WHERE ON THE SURFACE YOU MUST PUSH!)... THIS CANNOT BE NORMAL!!!!! ADDITIONALLY, IN A PANIC SITUATION WHEN THE REFLEX IS TO HONK A WARNING, WHEN THE HORN DOESN'T WORK MY ATTENTION IS DIVERTED FROM THE INCIDENT AT HAND IN TRYING TO FIND THE SPOT TO MAKE THE HORN WORK. UNACCEPTABLE (BUT ONE OF SEVERAL QUIRKY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE, INCLUDING POWER STEERING MODULE GOING OUT AT 40,000 MILES, AND INSIDE HEATER/AIR CONDITIONING FAN FOR REAR AREA GOING ON AND OFF MYSTERIOUSLY EVEN WITH MASTER CONTROL TURNED OFF, AND WIT

DURING SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR WITH THE ENGINE AT IDLE, AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE ENGINE SURGES DURING THE SHIFT. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATES TO APPROXIMATELY 9-10 MPH. THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR-ACCIDENTS AND PANIC STOPS IN PARKING LOTS AND STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. DURING NORMAL ACCELERATION WITH A PARTIALLY OPEN THROTTLE, THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR. THE VEHICLE HAS BEHAVED IN THIS WAY SINCE IT WAS NEW. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID RESERVOIR IS LOCATED OUT IN HOOD THAT DEFROSTER CANNOT GET TO IT. THEREFORE, IN BAD SNOWY CONDITIONS WINDSHIELD WIPER RESERVOIR WILL FREEZE UP, AND CONSUMER CANNOT USE IT WHEN NEEDED, SUCH AS WHEN ICE AND MUD IS SPLASHED ONTO WINDSHIELD, CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY.*AK

VEHICLE WAS IDLING WHILE CONSUMER'S FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE SURGED AND ACCELERATED FORWARD HITTING A BOAT MOTOR THAT WAS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED. *SLC

HORN DOES NOT FUNCTION OR NEEDS VERY HIGH EFFORT. USELESS IN EMERGENCY AVOIDANCE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT IF THEY RELY ON THIS HORN.*AK

INTERMITTENTLY SLIDING DOOR OPENS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. DEALER HAS REPAIRED VEHICLE THREE TIMES, AND PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.*AK

HORN IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PRESS. IT TAKES EXTREME PRESSURE FROM DRIVER FOR HORN TO BLOW. ALSO, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND THE RIGHT SPOT TO PUSH. VEHICLE WAS MADE WITH A DEFECT. HORN HAS NOT WORKED.*AK

HORN DELAY EQUIVALENT TO A DELAY IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM. UPGRADED BY FORD FROM OUTGARIOUSLY SLOW TO TERRIBLELY SLOW. USELESS IN A PARKING LOT. INEFFECTIVE IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF LACK OF TIMELY RESPONSE. A HORN IS A SAFETY DEVICE USED AS WARNING SYSTEM. IT IS INEFFECTIVE BECAUSE IT IS TIME DELAYED EVEN AFTER AN UPGRADE. I GET ANGRY AND FRUSTRATED EVERY TIME I TRY TO USE IT.
