THE TRANSMISSION MADE A GRIND NOISE AND ENGAGED AND SLAMMED INTO MY GARAGE. WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. AND NOW THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE.*AK

WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE NOZZLE TURNS OFF, THE GAS BACKS UP AND LEAKS OUT. IT CAN TAKE UP TO A HALF HOUR TO FILL THE TANK.*AK

WHILE DRIVING DASHBOARD LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE ODOMETER WENT OUT. CONSUMER STOPPED THE VEHICLE TO LOOK UNDER THE HOOD. THERE WERE LITTLE SPARKS OF FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. THE WIRING THAT WERE CONNECTED TO THE MASTER CYLINDER MELTED. THERE WAS BRAKE FLUID LEAKING DOWN ON THE WIRING. *AK

I HAVE MADE CONTACTS BEFORE WITH FORD. MANY ITEMS UPON MY VEHICLE HAVE WENT BAD SINCE PURCHASE. MY MAIN CONCERN WAS TIRE BLOW OUTS. I CONTACTED FORD AFTER 2 TIRES BLOW OUTS WITHIN 3 MONTHS TIME. SINCE MY CONTACT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE AN AIR CONDITIONER, AND OTHER ITEMS. BUT MY MAIN CONCERN WAS A TIRE BLOW OUT AGAIN THAT LEFT MY VEHICLE WITH FRONT DAMAGE AND MY LOWER BACK IN PAIN.*AK

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING, THE TIRE RESET WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF. *JB

MY 2001 FORD WINDSTAR VAN HAD ITS TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 47,400 MILES. THE REASON THAT IT FAILED WAS THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER WENT AND THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED. I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND TRANSMISSION TECHNICIAN ABOUT THIS AND THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM COMMON TO THIS MODEL. I CALLED FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THAT THEY COULD DO FOR ME. TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD NOT GO WITH LESS THAN 48.000MILES ON THEM. *AK

DRIVER SIDE ELECTRIC WINDOW STOPPED WORKING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. AT FIRST I WAS ANNOYED AT HAVING TO OPEN THE DOOR AT TOLL BOOTHS ETC, THEN IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT ITS ALSO A BIG SAFETY PROBLEM IF I AM EVER IN AN ACCIDENT. I WILL HAVE IT FIXED AT MY NEXT SERVICE SOON, BUT IF THERE ARE SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH OTHER OWNERS THEN PERHAPS NHTSA AND FORD SHOULD PUT OUT A RECALL NOTICE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH A VEHICLE TRAVELING 50 MPH. THE DUAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. AS A RESULT THE DRIVER HIT HIS HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND SPRAINED HIS WRIST. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB

WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE ENGAGED THEY WILL EITHER WORK FOR A FEW SECONDS AND QUIT OR NOT WORK AT ALL. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE WIPER MOTOR TWICE, AND THE FRONT ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE. BUT PROBLEMS STILL EXISTS. RECALL 01V261000 WAS ISSUED, BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK ALSO, CLUNKING ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AT LOW SPEED OR WHEN TURNING LEFT. DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND LATER REPLACED THE BRAKE ROTOR. STARTER WERE ALSO REPLACED. *LA

NUMEROUS THINGS HAVE GONE WRONG SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. ITEMS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY: ELECTRIC SEAT STOPPED WORKING TWICE, AND TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SHIFT WHEN IT WAS SUPPOSED TO. ITEMS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY: BRAKES REPLACED AT 30,000+ MILES-TOLD WAS NORMAL FOR THEM TO WEAR OUT SO QUICKLY; RACK AND PINION REPLACED AT AROUND 55,000 MILES; MONTHS AFTER BRAKES REPLACED, BRAKES GRIND LOUDLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP (BRAKES CHECKED NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT WAS TOLD THEY WERE OK); ABS BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON AFTER DRIVING (NOT ILLUMINATED ON START UP, BUT COMES ON LATER); BACK DOME LIGHT NOT SECURE-FALLS OUT; DOME LIGHTS SOMETIMES COME ON WHEN BRAKING; CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON FOR MONTHS, DIDN'T HAVE IT CHECKED, BUT TURNED OFF BY ITSELF; SLIDING DOOR DRAGS-RUSTED ON VECHICLE FRAME.*AK

2001 FORD WINDSTAR - DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR UNLATCHES WITHOUT WARNING. BOTH WHILE IN MOTION AND/OR PARKED. TWO TIMES I CAME OUT TO MY CAR IN THE MORNING AND FOUND THAT MY BATTERY WAS DEAD BECAUSE THE SLIDING DOOR UNLATCHED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE ON, FOR HOW LONG I DO NOT KNOW. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES ALREADY FOR THIS VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE (PROBLEM) AND THEY SAY IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH THEM BUT THEY ADJUST THE DOOR AND IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN WITH ME. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD'S CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND THEY JUST KEEP TELLING ME TO BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MOSTLY WHEN I USE THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE BUTTON OR THE BUTTON NEAR THE DOOR ITESELF WHEN CLOSING IT.*AK

CONSUMER NOTICED THAT DRIVER'S REAR SIDE DOOR DID NOT LATCH. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND MECHANIC REPLACED THE DOOR SWITCH. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED, AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. *AK

ROOF BRACKETS ARE LOOSE. THIS IS CAUSING A LOUD RATTLING NOISE. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH CONSUMERS VEHICLE CRASHED INTO TO ANOTHER VEHICLE. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK

MY 2001 FORD WINDSTAR- BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON. VEHICLE IS IN PARK AND TURNED OFF. MUST PULL UP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MAKE THE LIGHTS TURN OFF. *AK

CONSUMER FEELS THAT THE ANCHORS IN THE REAR MIDDLE SEAT FOR THE LATCH SYSTEM IS CAUSING THE CSS HARNESS STRAP PLATE TO BEND WHEN REMOVING THE CSS BECAUSE THE PLATE ONLY BENDS IN THIS VEHICLE. *AK

I RAN OUT OF GAS AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, MY HUSBAND WAS IN IRAQ. SINCE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED, IT WASN'T LIKE I COULD JUST PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND GET MY VAN OUT OF THE WAY. IT WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT HAPPENED AGAIN. LUCKILY, MY HUSBAND WAS BACK AND IT WAS BY CHURCH, SO I WAS ABLE TO GET HELP RIGHT AWAY. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. I AM GOING TO LOOK IN TO AN ATTORNEY ABOUT IT BECAUSE WHAT IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY VAN BROKE DOWN FOR WHATEVER REASON, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK AND I WOULD GET IN A WREAK. WHAT IF MY KIDS WHERE WITH ME. THAT'S JUST NOT RIGHT. I HAVE BOUGHT FORD VEHICLES ALL MY LIFE AND I AM TELLING YOU WHAT, I DON'T KNOW IF I WILL EVER BUY ANOTHER ONE AFTER THIS. THAT IS SOOOO UNSAFE. I HAVE TRIED TO CALL FORD TWICE AND THEY HAVE GIVEN ME THE RUN AROUND. SO I DON'T KNOW! I WILL HAVE TO TALK TO LEGAL COUNCIL I GUESS. WHO KNOWS! I JUST LOVE ALL THE THINGS US MILITARY HAVE TO DEAL WITH AND NOW THIS! *LA

WE HAVE A 01 FORD WINDSTAR LIMITED WITH AUTOMATIC DOORS, WITH SAFETY SENSORS. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WAS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, NOT ALWAYS OPENING AND CLOSING WITH THE BUTTONS. MY 3YR OLD DAUGHTER REACHED IN THE VAN TO GET A TOY AND THE DOOR CLOSED ON HER ARM,(WITHOUT ANYONE TOUCHING A BUTTON TO CLOSE THE DOOR) THE DOOR EVENTUALLY OPENED. THE INJURY CONSISTED OF BROKEN SKIN AND A SEVERE BRUISE ON THE OUTER AND THE INNER SIDE OF THE ARM. THE VAN WAS STILL COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND FOUR PARTS WERE REPLACED: 1. CONTR ASY BDY S 2. SENSOR ASY - AC 3. R/CONTR & LAT A 4. ACTU ASY - BDY SD THE DOOR IS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS OPENING ALL OF THE TIME. THE FORD DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT.

GOLF MILL FORD DEALERSHIP INDUCED TRANSMISSION FAILURE. VEHICLE TAKEN IN FOR A RECALL AND THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED A TRANSMISSION FLUSH, INJECTOR FLUSH, THROTTLE BODY SERVICE,POWER STEERING FLUSH AND FUEL FILTER. ON FEB.19, 2004 HAD A TRANSMISSON FLUSH AND THROTTLE BODY SERVICED AT GOLF MILL FORD. IT WAS NEVER WRITTEN OR VERBALLY TOLD TO ME THAT I HAD ANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THIS SERVICE. AFTER HAVING THIS SERVICE I EXPERIENCED A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS ON THE WAY HOME. THE CAR RAN ROUGH, IT HESITATED WILL STOPPING A STOP LIGHT, THERE WAS A MIST THAT CAME FROM THE FRONT VENT, THE CAR STARTED BUT THEN QUICKLY CUT OFF, AND LASTLY WHEN I WENT START THE CAR I COULD HEAR A LOUD WHOSH SOUND WHICH SCARED ME. ON FEB 26, 2004, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO GOLD MILL FORD WHERE I DID INFORM THEM OF ALL THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING. AFTER INSPECTING THE CAR THEY STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. ON MARCH 1, 2004, WHILE ON THE ROAD I NOTICED FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE CAR. I WENT TO A RAY SKILLMAN FORD DEALERSHIP IN GRENWOOD INDIANA THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK AROUND TRANSMISSION SEAL & THE PAN WAS NOT TIGHTED PROPERLY. TONY AT RAY SKILLMAN FORD ALSO STATED THAT GOLF MILL DID NOT PLACE ENOUGH TRANSMISSION FLIUD IN THE VAN. GOLF MILL FORD INSTRUCTED TONY TO PUT SOME LIQUID TRANSMISSION SEALER IN TRANSMISSION & SEND US ON OUR WAY. AT THE TIME TONY TOLD US HE DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH DOING SO. GOLF MILL FELT AS THOUGH THEY DID NOTHING WRONG. HOWEVER AFTER WAITING

"CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" - FORD VEHICLES HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I HAD A 95 FORD AEROSTAR, 95 WINDSTAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OCCATIONALLY TURNED ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD NOT TO WORRY BECAUSE IT'S ONLY FOR THE EMMISION SYSTEM. I HAVE A 2001 WINDSTAR AND 2002 EXPLORER SPORT TRACT WITH THE SAME PROBLEM - THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY WIFE BROUGHT THE WINDSTAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL CAP NOT PROPERLLY CLOSED, ACCORDING TO THE MECHANICS. CAN THE MANUFACTURER MAKE A DIFFERENT WARNING LIGHT RATHER THAN CONFUSING THE DRIVER WITH AN ENGINE PROBLEM? *AK

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW INOPERABLE, ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON, AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKERS ON. MOTOR WAS REPLACED IN DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW, COST: 294.00. MADE APPT. TO HAVE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK - CHARGING $90.00 TO DO SO. *NM

MY 2001 FORD WINDSTARS BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON ONCE THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK AND TURNED OFF. I MUST PULL UP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MAKE THE LIGHTS TURN OFF. I HAD THE CAR SERVICED AT A PRIVATE MECHANIC 4 TIMES NOW AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. IS THERE ANY KNOWN RECALLS/PROBLEMS WITH FORDS BRAKE LIGHTS??*AK

WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE CONSUMER REMOVED FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO APPLY THE BRAKES, AND VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. CONSUMER HAD TO APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND PUT THE VAN IN NEUTRAL TO STOP VAN FROM ACCELERATING. DEALERSHIP SERVICED THE VAN TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED.*AK

SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR HAS OPENED BY ITSELF ON A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT ALWAYS SHUT PROPERLY. WILL NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE FIXED IT. STILL HAVE PROBLEM OCCASIONALLY.

THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK, AND ONCE IT LOCKS YOU CAN NOT EVEN PULL THE LOCK UP TRAPPING THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK. *JB

WHEN REVERSING VEHICLE STALLED. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THIS WAS NORMAL. *AK

THERE WERE 2 CRACKS ON THE BASE OF THE WINDSHIELD. IT APPEARED THAT THE CRACKS ORIGINATED FROM THE BASE OF THE MOLDING. *AK IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT A SMALL PEDDLE CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO CRACK. *NM

I OWN A 2001 FORD WINDSTAR SEL WITH POWER SLIDING DOORS. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING BECAUSE ONE OF THE MECHANISMS USED TO OPERATE THE DOOR IS INOPERABLE AND THE DOOR NO LONGER WORKS ELECTRICALLY. THE STANDARD COST FOR THIS REPAIR IS $1800.00, ALOT OF MONEY FOR A DOOR REPAIR. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THE POWER MECHANISM IS NOT WORKING THESE DOORS SHOULD BE ABLE TO OPERATE SAFETLY MANUALLY. THAT IS NOT THE CASE THE DOOR IS EXCESSIVELY HEAVY (HEAVIER THAN A MANUAL DOOR) AND WHEN THE VECHICLE IS ON AN INCLINE THE DOOR WILL NOT STAY OPEN. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN (AGES 3 AND 1) AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY WITH THIS DOOR. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE SOME SAFETY PRECAUTION TO HOLD THE DOOR OPEN WHEN THE POWER FAILS. THE DOOR SHOULD REQUIRE SOME SORT OF SLIGHT TUG OR PULL TO CLOSE NOT JUST GRAVITY. I THINK IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED ON THESE POWER DOORS SOMEONE IS GOING TO LOSE A FINGER, HAND OR MUCH WORSE. OTHERWISE I THINK THAT MANUFACTURERS SHOULD MAKE THESE REPAIRS MORE AFFORDABLE, MOST FAMILIES (WHICH IS THE MAJORITY OF OWNERS OF MINI-VANS) ARE ON TIGHT BUDGETS AND $2000.00, IS JUST OUTRAGEOUS FOR A DOOR REPAIR! *AK

THE LIFTGATE GLASS SHATTERED WITHOUT ANY CAUSE. DEALER COULDN'T DETERMINE THE CAUSE, BUT REPLACED THE GLASS. *AK *MR

THE HANDLE STARTED TO CRACK AT THE BOTTOM WHERE IT HOOKED ONTO THE SEAT ON BOTH SIDES. *PH THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE THE CHILD SEAT WAS OLDER THAN 3 MONTHS. THE CONSUMER ALSO NOTICED THE SIDE NOTCHES WHERE THE SEAT BELTS GO WHEN NOT IN USE SHOWED SIGNS OF STRESS.( MODEL #3161356O1) *JB

FAILURE IN GAS TANK WHICH LED CONSUMER TO BELIEVE THAT IT WAS A DESIGN FAILURE. *LA THE FUEL PUMP/FUEL FILTER ASSEMBLY RUBBED ON THE GAS TANK FROM THE INSIDE WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL, WHICH CAUSED THE GAS TANK TO HAVE A PIN HOLE LEAK, WITH THE LEAK THE SYSTEM WAS UNABLE TO PRESSURIZE, WHICH CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A SIDE IMPACT. UPON IMPACT SECOND ROW PASSENGER SEAT UNLATCHED FROM THE FLOOR. *AK

AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING, AND REMAINED ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC TOLD CONSUMER THAT WARRANTY EXPIRED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH THE ENGINE REVVED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY FAILED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NM

THE DOOR DOES NOT BOUNCE BACK. MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND MYSELF GOT CAUGHT IN THE DOOR WHILE IT WAS TRYING TO CLOSE. MY FIVE YEAR OLD HAD TO PUSH THE BUTTON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY TESTED THE DOOR AND SAID IT WAS WORKING FINE. THEY SAID THAT IS HOW THE CAR IS MADE. YOU HAVE TO HAVE TO PUT A LOT FORCE ON THE DOOR IN ORDER FOR IT TO BOUNCE BACK. THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE CENSORS. THERE 2003 VAN REQUIRES EVEN MORE PRESSURE THAN MINE. HOW IS A 2 YEAR OLD CHILD SUPPOSE TO APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE.

BOUGHT THE USED VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALER. DIDN'T CHECK FOR PAINT PEELING OR RUST, THOUGHT A 2 YEAR OLD CAR WOULDN'T HAVE ANY. I WASHED THE CAR, AND AS I WAXED IT, DISCOVERED THE PEELING PAINT ON THE ROOF RIB, ALMOST ENTIRE LENGHTH OF VEHICLE, THEN FOUND RUST AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR. CONTACTED FORD, INSTRUCTED ME TO GO TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP, WENT TO GERVAIS FORD IN AYER MA. SERVICE MANAGER LOOKED OVER THE CAR, MADE NOTES, INFORMED ME HE WOULD CONTACT FORD HEADQUARTERS TO SEE IF THEY WILL DO ANYTHING. TWO WEEKS LATER, HE CONTACTED ME AND INFORMED ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO REGARDING THE PAINT OR THE DOORS RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
