| 2000 | STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS | TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 FORD WINDSTAR. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT SUB FRAME WAS BEGINNING TO RUST. PRIOR TO THE EXAMINATION THE CONTACT HAD THE REAR AXLE REPAIRED DUE TO RUST. THE SUB FRAME WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 53000. |
| 2001 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | FOR MONTHS MY 2001 FORD WINDSTAR HAS BEEN SHOWING MY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT INDICATORS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE MANUAL INDICATED IMMINENT BRAKE FAILURE. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY TIRE PRESSURE AND THAT MY TIRES WERE WORN AND I NEEDED 4 NEW ONES. DID THAT. LIGHTS STILL CAME ON - THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. LIGHTS STILL KEPT COMING ON. THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED NEW PADS AND ROTORS - EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO SOUND OF GRINDING BRAKES - BUT I DID THAT TOO. AND STILL MY INDICATOR LIGHTS KEPT COMING ON. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THE PANEL THAT COULD BE FIXED FOR $700 IF I WANTED BUT IT WAS PROBABLY NOT WORTH IT AND NOT TO BOTHER. AND THEN, 2 DAYS AGO, MY BRAKES FAILED. I WAS LUCKY. I WAS GOING SLOWLY DOWN A HILL AND I STOPPED THE VEHICLE BY SLOWING APPLYING MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. THEY ARE NOW TELLING ME THAT THEY STILL CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. AND I CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE. *TR |
